I hope i dont get crucified here but I purchased a Shark ADV Lift away vacuum from Costco for $320. The ADV version is apparently better. I have super super plush carpets and any vacuum I tried always struggled. I took extra carpet to try out miele and even that one got kind of stuck on the carpet. The Shark glides on it even on max suction. I had to empty the canister like 6 or 7 times in a 2400sqft house where I've lived for only a year. Weekly vacuums. Stairs. All of it. It felt gross knowing how bad my carpets were with my last vacuum. The stairs are carpeted and work very well with the power pet attachment I can't speak for longevity. I'll update you in 5 years My goal is a Sebo 4 which is $1300 new. Used is about 1/4 - 1/3 of that price but the warranty makes up for the cost difference
This is exactly what I have and it’s lasted for years! We incidentally have two of them because my husband had the same vacuum when the dog and I moved in with him. Mine was relegated to car vacuum duty because it’s so beat up but it’s no less effective at fluff busting than the one in the house. Definitely recommend this one.
I've had this vacuum for what feels like at least a decade now. It is ridiculous picking up the hair. Makes me cringe with how much it picks up, especially as someone who is allergic to cats and dogs LOL I know there's hair all over our house but what it manages to pull out is shocking "Shark Navigator Lift-Away Lightweight Bagless Corded HEPA Filter Portable Upright Vacuum Cleaner for Multi-Surface in Purple"
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.
My favorite vacuum I’ve used is the Shark Lift Away with a self cleaning brush roll. Easy to clean and maneuver. It lasted me five years of working full time. I currently use the basic Shark Lift Away, and it’s been pretty good, it just gets clogged up easily.
I’ve had an upright Shark Navigator for going on 8 years. Still works wonderfully, have only had to do one small repair to a hose that cost about $20. I just bought the FurGuard and am waiting for it to arrive. I have 5 dogs.
Dyson Animal stick vacuum and a Shark AI Ultra robot vacuum that runs every day. I also have an older Shark Navigator upright that still works great and was reasonably priced.
Thirded. Had mine ~12 years and was going to look for something new before I discovered it had a second air filter. Cleaned that out and now it’s back to working as good as it was on day 1.
