Get a mini shop vac :) I usually do a rough sweep of the area then use the mini portable shop vac

I’ve ruined so many normal vacuums bc of hay. This is the one I have now and it’s great [mini shop vac](https://www.lowes.com/pd/Shark-Versa-Upright-Vacuum-Corded-Upright-Vacuum/5014283273?store=1703&cm_mmc=shp-_-c-_-prd-_-app-_-ggl-_-CRP_SHP_LIA_APP_Online_Mid_Priority(E+Band)-_-5014283273-_-local-_-0-_-0&gclsrc=aw.ds&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=21452190902&gbraid=0AAAAAD2B2W8VrccYzIM_8ToRKImLmmmiE)

Well I was trying to find something durable and consumer that fit your guidelines. There seems to be not much with good capacity and larger tanks until you get into more professional grade equipment which would also give you more part availability. Steam in these units I don’t find that effective really. I have a Clarke 12” machine that I use professionally but those now run like $1700 and it’s hard to justify for a consumer. I also have a shark messmaster whatever they call their units that I found at a discount store it works will it last probably not. It does the job for my small kitchen and cat hair and crumbs. But it’s not amazing.

I got a (corded) handheld Shark last week. It has revealed that I am a pig who has been living in her own filth for 5 years.

I don't recommend shark. We bought it, it's alright, but we still use our corded shark for the heavy lifting.

Im gonna give my two cents. Dyson is a great brand. But i’ve had NOT a bad experience, just an annoying one. The cordless vacuums have the worst battery in a product i’ve ever had. They die by just doing one room. And we have 6 other rooms to do. Like make that make sense.. I switched to a corded shark. Same size i will say. Not the huge kind of vacuums. And my life is way better now. Never dies. I can finish all in 1 go

Corded Shark, I got my second one after 10 years. We have dogs, cats and kids. It does very well, would recommend.

I've had two corded Sharks in the last 15 years and they are so fucking good for my heavy shedders, I cannot sing that brand's praises enough

I have a corded Shark. It sucks... but in a good way.
