HardCoreNorthShore 1.0I've had several and loved all of them! Right now, I'm using this one: https://a.co/d/2zlqyHf I love it. It's powerful and compact, the cord is long, I don't have to clean the brush roll...those are the pros. Cons: dust cup is small, area in front of brush roll needs to be cleaned frequently (they have a removable brush roll to make this easy, though), and the filters need to be changed frequently. Still, I love this vac and will soon be buying another.
jalapeno442 1.0Seconding Shark. Corded vacuums are the only kind I will buy after doing research on pet hair suction power lol. I have a Shark Stratos Ultra stick vacuum and I love it. Sometimes Lowe’s will run 50% off on them so I got it for $150
WeLiveInACatsWorld 1.0I think shark is a good vac for under 200 dollars. Look into [Shark Stratos Ultralight](https://amzn.to/3Wrqzkh) Amazon currently has it on sale. It’s usually 289 but currently it’s under 200. It’s a good vacuum and has what you need plus some.
CostForsaken6643 0.6I have two cats and a Shark Stratos corded vacuum (hardwood floors and some rugs) and I love it. I’m amazed at how much fur and dust it picks up. I never thought I’d be gushy over a vacuum, but here we are.
selekta_stjarna 0.6A stick vacuum isn't going to be effective for thoroughly cleaning carpeting. It is okay for quick pickups but that is about it. I had a Shark corded stick vacuum for 6 years as my main vacuum and it didn't clean my carpeting well at all. I have a corded Shark Stratos now. It does a way better job than the Shark stick vacuum. However, my next vacuum will be a bagged machine. I hate washing the filters and emptying the dust cup.

Critical-Wallaby-683 0.3Have a shark hand held anti hair wrap one. Find it great. Definitely heavier than a Dyson hand held but stronger suction & long battery - does our whole house no issue. Also a light which is very handy. We have no carpets but busy house with kids and pets
baddyvanjoe2k14 0.3I use a Shark Stratos from Costco. It's been good, comes with lots of attachments. The dual brush and fins clean hard floors very well.
baymoe 0.3Absolute best, Dyson V15/16. Bang for your back, Shark Stratos. Both drains battery very quickly at the highest setting. There's just no way around that.
beebeepbop 0.3Just bought a Shark Stratos refurbished off eBay for around $200. Has worked great so far and has a 2 year warranty.
brycemonang1221 0.3Shark Stratos or Tineco A11 Hero. They're both solid under $300. Avoid Bissell stick vacs, weak suction and bad battery life in my experience
