I think that's what I've got as well - mine's the 'TruePet Lift-Away' but I think it's the same general model. The only issue after 5.5 years is that the stick doesn't click into the base very well anymore.
I have a Shark Liftaway True Pet and love it. Did a ton of research before buying for something that can handle pet hair, go under furniture, easier to do stairs etc. It checks all of your boxes and is currently $355. https://a.co/d/0ayb32oD
I've had my Shark Vacuum for 10+ years. I initially bought the dyson and returned it for the Shark and I dont regret it. I personally have a older version of the Rotator ( heres the newer model [https://amzn.to/46qsnjD](https://amzn.to/46qsnjD) ) I've also heard great things about the Navigator Zero (the self cleaning model [https://amzn.to/44y6eNT](https://amzn.to/44y6eNT) )
If you’re okay with going a little over budget I have a 13 year old Shark Rotator and love it https://amzn.to/4o58DIU I actually tried out the Dyson a few years back and decided to return it and stick with my Shark. They have an older model on Amazon for 299 https://amzn.to/46UL5Ab it’s a powerful vacuum that works well with cat hair, carpet and hard floor surfaces. It’s lift away design helps get under furniture which helps tackling cat hair.
I’ve had my Shark Rotator for 13 years and still love it. I started looking for a replacement a few years back, I figured with all the new tech, maybe there was something better out there. But nope. I ended up returning every vacuum I tried and just kept my Shark. If I upgrade, it’ll probably just be the newer version of what I already have, especially since it’s on sale right now. https://amzn.to/46AJMpS Just remember to replace your filters on your sharks.
Shark NV752. Only thing I bought on Black Friday. I like it a lot.
I’ve had the Shark TruePet since 2020, and it’s still holding up great. I do have to cut long hair out of the rollers every few months (three daughters in the house), but it’s been solid on both carpet and hardwood. I think I paid around $250 for it at the time. That said, I’m actually shopping again because my youngest has allergies, and I was told that a bagged vacuum with HEPA filtration can make a big difference. Those three things together (corded + bagged + HEPA) do push the price up, but I’ve seen a couple of Hoover models that land closer to your budget. If you’re still looking, definitely check out the [Vacuum comparison sheet](https://www.reddit.com/user/lacking_foyer48/comments/1lj76h3/vacuum_cleaners_compared_comprehensive_datasheet/) that I saw on another subreddit. It compares all the models and brands side by side. I’m using it right now to shop, and it really helps narrow things down no matter what your priorities are.
I agree with Miele! My Shark (TruePet) was also just not cutting it for the hardwoods, and the turbo brush attachment was actually scratching it (though I’ll chalk that up to user error, I shouldn’t have tried it). I second Miele! I did a ton of my own research trying to figure out the best brands, but then I came across [this vacuum comparison spreadsheet ](https://www.reddit.com/user/lacking_foyer48/comments/1lj76h3/vacuum_cleaners_compared_comprehensive_datasheet/)on another subreddit and it made things so much easier. I can’t take credit, but after comparing the Miele models, I went with a C2 because it has a really wide hardwood attachment.
