UV725 Navigator Lift-Away with Self Cleaning Brushroll Upright Vacuum

Amazon has the Shark UV730 Navigator Lift-Away Upright Vacuum (refurbished) for $110. I got mine on clearance at WalMart for $70, so you might get lucky.

I got this one from costco Shark Navigator Lift-Away Upright Vacuum with PowerFins HairPro Item   4752554 Model  UV730 It was like $190 last year. two dogs two cats and when i take one of those hair rakes to the carpet after vaccumming i dont end up with anything.

Shark sells "renewed" vacuums on Amazon that are really good. They are cleaned like new with new parts and filters. The navigator uv730 for $109 would be a great choice.

The new shark power detect is awesome with the auto empty base but a bit out of your price range. If you want a really cheap one as a secondary I’d recommend smoture (vacuum wars tested it and it actually looks pretty great for the price) and you could get a $199 upright shark from Costco while staying in your price range. Costco is great because sharks aren’t very repairable so being able to return 2 years later is great if you have a membership. Having an upright and a cordless is the way to go, deep clean every week or two with the upright then use the cordless for daily pick ups

I bought a Costco Shark before I got my Kenmore DU3017. It completely died in 3 months with no indication of what had failed so I couldn't even troubleshoot it properly. I was putting off contacting Shark to use their warranty when my dad convinced me to just take it back to Costco even though it was theoretically past their 90 day electronics return policy. Sure enough Costco took it back, and I hope to never have to deal with a new Shark product ever again. Oddly enough my parents have a 2015 Shark NV501 that is still kicking, but that could be because they hate vacuuming and do it probably once every other month.

I've got a Shark (and a dog - she's double coated and when she blows her coat I could build a whole new dog out of it) and absolutely love it. Gets up so much stuff and is light enough to carry up and down the stairs. And being able to lift away and use one of the small attachments makes hoovering the stairs really easy too.

I know shark is the devil on here but for $250 and under for a bagless machine either shark (a Costco one so you have kinda pseudo warranty) is imo best bet either that or a kenmore bagless I hear is decent too
