Stratos Ultralight HZ3002

I'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.

Seconding 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

Shark duo clean anti hair wrap. I found it the best and have used a lot of different ones.

[as someone that hates cordless, but hates the bulky options, I have this vaccuume going on 2 years and have best and abused and still going strong, still keeping up with normal maintenance (cleaning filters etc) and the suction is crazy powerful leaving those lines you want to see. I’ve used shark products my entire life and I love them. but I hate cordless including shark and all brands the battery life is just something that I don’t think is personally just advanced yet imo.](https://www.hsn.com/products/shark-stratos-ultralight-duoclean-and-powerfins-hairpro/20776225?sz=6704&sf=HO0460&ac=&utm_source=google&utm_medium=shopping%20engine&utm_term=&utm_campaign=Gshopping%7CBrandProduct%7Chome+home+appliances&utm_content=ADG-186839429956_pla-2080840965984_20776229_16497027252_ACC-756-425-5661&pdp_exp=1&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=16497027252&gbraid=0AAAAADg5sEQ_0PLCv1Ij1pLEV5Lv6m80s&gclid=Cj0KCQjwvJHIBhCgARIsAEQnWlDyIus0Vy6aV6jsi2P-FmGuFHyUstwdIY-q1VsiakzGV08HiL3TzYMaAmWGEALw_wcB)

I 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.

Gtech Multi. Had it for years. Very happy. I also have a Shark Stratos pet vacuum, which is also fantastic.

I have own three sharks. I think the first was the NV210, it was a tank. Lasted us ten years but I kept it and filters clean, and I abused it by cleaning up pea stone, Dry wall dust, and banging into wood trim. Good cheap vacuum. The second was the rechargeable stick. Not great. Poor suction, terrible battery, very difficult to clean. Only lasted three years, including one battery swap. Would not buy again. The third is our current plug-in vacuum. Shark lift away with the power odor eliminator pod. It’s decent, but the brushhead is weird, it takes its time to wind up to full speed. It’s a different roller than a typical beater brush and apparently doesn’t get hair stuck around it. Good suction for the price, I was very wary of dropping a grand for a vacuum after I had such good years with our previous shark. haven’t needed to work on it much yet and I have a wet/dry vacuum now for house projects. I spent a lot of time in this sub last November prior to decide on the best vacuum. My wife was adamant she wanted a standup, she wanted battery powered (to replace the shark mentioned above) but I was able to convince her to relax on this requirement. And she wanted bagless, this couldn’t sway her. After a time of tolerating the shark rechargeable I had enough and tossed it. This past week I bought a Dyson v15 refurbished on Amazon, it was brand new and works great so far although it my wife mentioned it doesn’t handle pea stone well dragged in by two doodles from our garden. She’s beyond happy so I’m happy. However now I want a better plug-in vacuum. She’s a quick mess cleaner, I’m a deep cleaner, and the new shark is not a vacuum I’d buy again. I probably would buy a Miele C1.
