You are correct, corded bagged stick vacuums are basically extinct. At least if you're trying to buy new. If you can find a miele quickstep with a power nozzle, that would be an excellent choice. Great suction, performance, filtration, and bagged. Compatible with most miele floorheads so you have a wide selection of floor brushes and other tools to suit whatever floor surface. The quickstep is a little on the big side for a stick vac but they work! If you're open to trying cordless, unfortunately there aren't many bagged options in or near your budget either. If you're ok with it only being suitable for hard floors the Makita XLC10 might be worth a look. It's suction only, but does clean hard floors well. It accepts paper bags. And with the machine plus battery and charger it should be right at your budget or only a little over. The Henry quick is a good option but it's $600+. The only other possible solution could be something like the samsung bespoke jet. It's cordless and bagless, but has an empty station which suctions out the contents of the stick into a bag. So it saves frequent messy disposal, but you're still left needing to clean out the bin and filters occasionally. So that isn't a full solution IMO. And really that's about all unfortunately. The lack of bagged stick vacuum choices is a real downer.

Makita 18v vacuum... They've got a few but there car cleaning one is good.

Not the most stylish vacuum, but I got a Makita 18v brushless vacuum, it works with any Makita 18v battery from their power tools. So far so good.

The 180/181/182 are basically the same, just different switch designs. It's fine for quick cleanups in the kitchen, but it's not that powerful. There's a cyclone attachment you can get for it that makes it work better and doesn't clog up the filter as fast, but it adds girth to the whole unit and it's pretty shit anyway because it's friction fit attachment. It doesn't attach too tightly so eventually it works itself loose and falls off while you're vacuuming. The low tech solution is to duct tape around the pipe so that it's a tighter fit. Don't need to tape both parts together. Pony up for the 280/282/284/286 brushless and you'll be much happier in the long run I only got my 180 from a Christmas sale deal last year because I didn't feel like spending too much money on it. I kind of regret that choice. Don't make that mistake I did

I tend to use an 18v makita stick/handheld vac.Decent suction,good for the car/skirtings,silly little kitchen spills,top of cabinets,spider webs!etc. But I have loads of their batteries,tools etc.So the bare tools aren't usually that expensive and usually good quality.
