I'm in the same dilemma. I've found that Samsung Jet 75 or 85 are good vacuums, easy to clean (you can disassemble basically the whole cyclone unit and wash it with water - that's the deal breaker for me with the Dysons), they have pretty good suction power. And they come with plenty of attachments, so you can clean your bed, surnitures, etc. , but always check what you plan to buy and what attachments it comes with.
I haven't decided either, but the Samsung vacs seem to be good options. Let me know what you think or if I'm wrong in any point.

I mean, you might want to clean it every so often...
We have two (had three) cats and a Samsung Jet 75. Works okay.
In our testing, the tineco outperformed the samsung jet 75 in hardfloor, high pile carpet, and low pile carpet debris pickup, but the jet 75 did better with pet hair on carpet. Both have replaceable batteries, but they are both older models, so I don't know how long spare batteries will be available for from the manufacturers. Costco has always been much more relaxed on their returns in my personal experience, but I wouldn't say I've had a bad experience with a return at Best Buy other than having to pay a restocking fee for specific items. The return window at bestbuy is much shorter though (15/30 days vs 90 days).
I have mostly laminated floors and I recently switched from a wired mille Hoover (which was good but bulky) to a Samsung jet 75 cordless vacuum. I'd been looking for a cordless for a while and it was one of the ones which seemed decent for the price. For laminated floors and carpets it's fine but the battery only lasts about 20 mins so you might want a spare battery depending on how much space you have/how thorough you like to be
