Shark handheld (I don't know the name) it's pretty newish 2020+ model and has the anti hair wrap thing. It's fine. Obviously as a handheld the battery and suction is not as good as it could be on a much more expensive Dyson model. But I find it decently acceptable for the upstairs, if run on full power it can run out in 15 minutes though. I would recommend a cord vacuum if you want to do a whole house or large flat. But I do like my sharks, and I think Henry Hoover's are still a solid shout.

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.

I believe this is what I have, my hair is down to my belly button and I have 2 cats (one that sheds so much he should be bald but isn't), I've only had to cut hair off of the roller brush maybe 5 times in the 2.5 years I've had it.

> 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. https://a.co/d/4vtfUAp
