I know majority HATE Shark but we love our shark stick vac. The duo-clean feature is amazing on hard floors. I bought our Ionflex 200 so many years ago, refurbished, on Amazon. The battery is still excellent and it works great. I also bought a Kenmore Elite Litening 7005 (cordless) to use as our main vacuum, replacing our 15 year old upright.
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 own 3 (oldest is around 15 years old) and they’re reliable, easy to maintain, and easy to repair.
I've owned two DC35's, the OEM batteries were expensive, hard to source and went bad (very shortened life) way too quickly. The third party ones weren't any better. Maybe it's gotten better, this was over 10 years ago. I switched to a much cheaper Shark Duo that had an easy to swap battery with external charger that's performed as well as the Dyson did ever since.
I thought this was an ad for Bissell for a sec😆😭. I use Shark Duo clean, its cordless with a heafty battery. I will find a link and report back 🫡.
Update:
Sadly I cannot find the exact vacuum I have from SHARK but BISSELL has one thats similar to what I have. I try my best to vacuum every few days to keep up with the fur and I only have 1 bun lol. Good luck and I hope this helps.

With no stairs and carpet to think about, corded may be better as you can’t match the power on carpet and you don’t have to worry about dragging it up and down stairs. I highly recommend Miele as a brand, mine is prehistoric and still going strong, similar levels of inconvenience as a Henry.
However for me, it’s such a pain in the arse to get it out that 90% of the time I use my folding rechargeable Shark and absolutely love it.
I highly recommend shopping second hand, particularly if going for cordless as there’s no battery degradation to worry about, though I inherited my Shark second hand and it’s still stellar.
If you’re worried about faults, Shark do say they have a five year guarantee and buying on credit card will give you Section 75 protection on the off chance they don’t honour it. Shark also have 4.2% cashback on TopCashback right now as a potential extra little saving.
