Running these analyses costs money. Buy through my links to help keep lights on! I may get a small commission.
I have been a Shark user for years. Great suction! Costco has them…just be sure to get a big canister one.
I have a shark lift away xl pet. I love it. Washable filters. Great for pet hair
I know shark is the devil on here but for $250 and under for a bagless machine either shark (a Costco one so you have kinda pseudo warranty) is imo best bet either that or a kenmore bagless I hear is decent too
I use a shark that has the XL canister for pet hair. I love it and have had the same vacuum for 10 years now. Even bought a 2nd one to use
We have bought the Shark pet hair (the larger one). I had the use of Henry whilst waiting - unfortunately it didn’t suit me as I kept banging it on the skirtings and corners. The Shark (with the very long) cord is absolutely brilliant - as we have 2 dogs. The suction is so strong, it’s like a workout for your arm - however, you can decrease the suction with an easy button. Prior to this we had the Shark cordless one - which was great but not nearly as powerful!
The cords are often very short and there is no HEPA filter - it spews some dust out the back. It’s for construction but there are high dollar shop vacs that have better options too. I used my Shark navigator (Walmart) like a shop vac for drywall dust and it didn’t hurt it- needed a good cleaning.
Ditto my Shark Navigator lift-away and I could do my stairs while the main machine sat at top or bottom while I vacuumed halfway up - then halfway down thick carpeted stairs.
