I'm actually going to pick up a used shark vertex pro for $50 for the meantime. I'm going to start saving more for an actual proper vacuum that'll be more towards BIFL.
Shark vertex pro. It's wireless, and we use it for both carpet and hardwood surfaces! It's pricey but worth it
Or have both! I have a very nice canister vac but like you hated vacuuming so much that I'd only ever do it once every couple of months. It got gross. So I bought a shark vertex cordless which is maybe not as good at vacuuming but easier enough to use that I'm vacuuming once or twice per week. And I'll still pour myself a stiff drink and do a Big Vacuum with the good corded one two or three times a year for a deep clean. This works; weekly weakly vacuuming plus seasonal deep vacuum keeps my floors significantly cleaner than daily sweeping plus monthly deep vacuum.
The shark vertex cordless is pretty good. Especially if you grab it on sale.
It’s a bit more than 300. I have really liked the shark vertex pro cordless vacuum. It’s 329.99 on Amazon.
I have several vacuums and I handpick Riccar just from 25 years of cleaning professionally, it’s hands down the best and takes a beating and still has superior suction, etc…. But I also have 2 cordless Dyson. I bought the first one a couple years ago and I bought a new d8 for like 250 bucks bc it was an older model. It’s still a beast. I own a sebo upright, it’s a fantastic vacuum and I own a shark Rocket (corded) I got it brand new out of a big lots dumpster, they threw away all the display vacs (my lucky day) I love the rocket, it’s light weight and has great suction, the only downside is the canister isn’t big enough. My old partner bought a shark vertex duoclean cordless vac a couple years ago. It did great when we would remember to charge the batteries… until it broke where it folds in half…. The thing about some of the shark vacuums is they are completely all plastic and as long as you are just using one to do basic cleaning just in your own home, they will do the trick….. it’s just not ideal for cleaners to haul around and use several hours daily. And to each their own, I hate and never cared for a Kirby,,never will…. But I’ve had clients that love them so much that it’s all I can use on their flooring, doesn’t mean I have to use one on my own flooring …. Good Luck OP Ps. They have brand new Dyson v8 at target 279$ Lowes has the Dyson d11 349$ fits your budget OP😉
