I love my ryobi. I needed something lighter and more flexible. This works well for carpets and hard floors. And fits under a variety of my furniture. It handles my cats fur. Here are a bunch of models. Not sure about if it would work with your rugs. I don't have that issue. https://www.ryobitools.com/collections/stick-vacuums
I went with a Ryobi because I have a lot of Ryobi tools so I also have a lot of Ryobi batteries. I scored a machine on clearance for $100 and it’s honestly it’s pretty great. I have owned a Tineco that was gifted to me and that thing was hot garbage. If you have power tools, look to see what whatever platform(s) you are invested in already have to offer.
We have a Ryobi 18v stick vacuum and hard floors. It gets used everyday to suck up our border collie’s fur.
I tried a Dyson once and was thoroughly unimpressed. Not only are the batteries trash but the suction was garbage. For those fucking price tags stay as far away from Dyson as possible. That said, I now use a Ryobi 18V stick vacuum *only* because I already had a bunch of 18V tools so I already had the batteries. The suction is solid and the battery life is pretty decent. It’s a well designed machine albeit a bit heavy. If you don’t already have Ryobi gear something more conventional is probably prudent.
I use a roomba on wood floors if doing the whole floor (best to tidy a little first - cords, pet toys, etc can get stuck - then leave for an errand because it’s pretty loud…but does do a good job and can go around most furniture, no need to get everything up off the floor) For smaller jobs and the stairs: Ryobi One+ has served me well for years whereas a couple others (shark cyclone and I forget the other one) died within about one year. Ryobi One+ has the better rechargeable battery, longer form factor means less bending over, and the “headlight” is actually super helpful and really shows you just how dirty that corner you’re vacuuming is. Also for furniture, Ryobi does ok with the roller attachment but I find nothing is as quick and effective as a lightly dampened sponge. That’s how I do wood floors and furniture - Hope it is helpful!
Mine is the multisurface which I think is the cheapest one. Maybe I've just got a rubbish one or maybe it's not a great model. Just disappointing suction.
Nejlepší poměr cena výkon je za mě v tomhle Ryobi, vysává fakt dobře a vydrží. Navíc se ta baterka dá přenášet mezi dalšími nástroji.
We have a Dyson V6 that we got on special YEARS ago, still working. The brush is a bit worn though so I have one coming from Aliexpress for not much $$. Keep an eye on specials. I'll replaced it at some point with a Ryobi as if you register it, you get 6 years warranty. Being a stick vac makes it about 10000% easier to be motivated to vacuum compared to a drag around vacuum. Granted the suction won't be as good, it's a worthwhile compromise IMO.
