Fully agree with this. Shark Duoclean Liftaway is all I'll ever buy. That Bissell and similar style vacuums are terrible on anything but high pile carpet
we got our shark duo in 2017 and has never had an issue its our sole vacuum for 2 story home, if you've trashed 6 I think it's probably you breaking them somehow? I keep wanting a nicer vacuum but this one won't die.
I have a Shark Duo that eats Border Collie hair. Retired my 25 year old Miele cat and dog. It would clog in 20 seconds.
I got a shark one duo clean, love it. Top part broke, cost like 90 euro but I have 4 year warranty with them so they sent it free within 3 days.
For my hard floors, I use a shark duoclean. It has a regular brush roll, but in front of that it has a soft, kinda fuzzy brush roll. It picks up crumbs, dirt, and dust like a champ Unfortunately, it’s not under $200 new but you could likely find a lightly used one for that cost
I own the shark duoclean, and I fucking love the technology, especially the floor detect sense for hardwood floors. This sub is going to downvote me to oblivion for praising it. But If you can get one at Costco you should be good.
I went thru this struggle about 5ish years ago... I was sick of my hair getting tangled and getting stuck, having to take it apart, etc. I went down a rabbit hole of researching and ended up with a Shark... I'm not sure of the exact model, I can definitely get it for you. But I know it comes with the duoclean brushes and special compartment for the long hair to go into. I was skeptical at first but it works 100% of the time!! I have never, ever had to clean hair from the brushes. I don't know how it works but it does. I got it at Kohls to use the Kohls cash. Pros- no more tangled brushes or wheels, very powerful and have no complaints about suction, easy to lift off to get under furniture... Cons- it's loud and heavy, I hate using it because of that, there's no easy wrap cord feature that some vacuums have (you press a button and the cord automatically retracts), accessories fall off if you just look at them wrong, "pet brush" accessory is meh..
I have a shark with the fluffy floor duster on the bottom and a "hair wrap" inside the machine. The duster on the bottom is fucking ball ache with long hair, I have to cut it with scissors a lot. The inside part is good I guess, but I've not had enough experience with other vacuums to understand if the hair was ever an issue? But I have to put my hand into it and empty the hair out by hand which is a faff. Anyway I don't think it's worth it to get a Dyson, shark is good and has lasted a few years now. I think most vacuums these days are fine, the difference you'd see in one Vs the other is so marginal honestly.
