Swapped ours for the really heavy duty (really fluffy cats level) shark two years ago and can't fault it in the slightest. It's been bulletproof...
It's big, it's mean, it's definitely not one of those prizzy cordless pieces of crap that can barely pull up a small knocked over houseplant. But I can't recommend it enough ...
I’m a sucker for my cordless shark vacuum. Around $200ish I think I got it 5 years ago and it still going strong. Good for hardwood and rugs and stairs. I did get a heavy duty shark for deep cleaning our last apartment that had thick carpet over the whole thing, mostly cuz I have cats and carpets generally gross me out, but a cordless stick vac is amazing for daily cleaning. Shark has proved to be an awesome brand. I have several friends that got dysons that broke so quickly, but my shark has endured a lot more than those and is still working just as well as it did when I got it.
Shark Navigator Swivel Pro, the only vac that has lasted 5+ years with two labs. I’ve had multiple vacuums that claim to be “pet hair vacs” never lasted more than 8-12months. Lab hair pickup is a 365 year round job, these “pet hair” vacuums may work for a lil Pomeranian hair but lab fluff is a whole different ball game lol!
I have a shark navigator pet pro. Its been great for ~5 yrs now. I've replaced the hepa filter and sponge every 6 months.
Although of 5 i lived in a vinyl place for 3 yrs. I had a bissell steam mop (bought off marketplace) for vinyl flooring. We are wfh Household with cat, and i prefered the steam mop clean because we walk barefoot.
You're better off reading through the recommended list on the sub.
Id also highly recommend looking around at local thrift stores, and even something like Facebook marketplace to see if you can get lucky and find a Miele or Sebo for a good price. Some Kenmore models can be found that are quite good for cheap too. I just found an older Kenmore Progressive for $20. The thing looks brand new, it has a sealed hepa system and I use the Hepa bags too.
That said, if you want bagless, I personally have always liked my Shark Navigator Pet Pro I snagged from Walmart for cheap. The lift-off versions don't seem to be quite as good, with a family member hating it. I don't often recommend Shark outside of the one particular model due to its simple design and good performance.
