I have a shark,[this one](https://www.bestbuy.com/product/shark-powerdetect-clean-empty-cordless-stick-vacuum-auto-empty-system-with-powerful-suction-up-to-70-min-runtime-dark-gray/JXJVXGVZ3J/sku/6599390?sb_share_source=PDP&ref=app_pdp&loc=screenshot_modal), got it during black Friday sales almost 2 years ago and have had exactly zero problems. I have a 90lb Pyrenees mix who sheds alllll day every day, three cats, and then myself and my daughter both have long hair. Plus the boys and their short hair.
We have two (technically one is ours and one is my mum's who we currently live with) one is a Samsung jet with a clean station (can't remember which as it's an older model) and one is [this Shark one ](https://sharkclean.com.au/products/shark-cordless-powerdetect-clean-empty-system-ip3251?srsltid=AfmBOor2GKVpfBWyZObqCR8fdINjiZe7TQ-SVUBC-hdTFoUOJc0kGF_u) and hands down I prefer the shark, when we move back out we'll likely replace our Samsung with a shark one as well.
Lots of people may be against Shark but I just bought one of these with the auto-empty and it rocks. Have an husky-type dog and a cat so it's used several times a day. Not having to constantly charge the battery and empty the bin makes me happy.
I just did a bunch of research on this. The standard Shark Powerdetect Clean & Empty is model IP3251. The costco version is model IP3225 which has a different head and no odor neutralizer.

Tbh (especially pregnant and then with a newborn) I’d go with the shark powerdetect which cleans and empties. I believe it is also at Costco which may come with extra accessories for the same price. This is the Amazon link tho if you wanna look it up! Overall best: Shark powerdetect (with or without clean & empty base): https://a.co/d/3JXROqu
Shark power detect. Game changer in affordable(kinda, still like $400-$500) cordless vacuums. Since you spoke about animals. MAKE SURE YOU GET THE ONE THAT AUTO EMPTIES!! It saves the filters and plastics from absorbing the pet smell(that is what causes that funky smell everytime you turn the vacuum on) because it auto empty’s after every single use.
