I've had good luck with Tineco. My Tineco A11 lasted me 4 years so far. I just got a Tineco A30S 1 month ago and so far it's working well for me, they stop making the batteries swappable but at least the battery life is okay.
Shark Stratos or Tineco A11 Hero. They're both solid under $300. Avoid Bissell stick vacs, weak suction and bad battery life in my experience
Oof, classic Ryobi bait-and-switch. It is great for tools, terrible for vacs. If you’re looking for real performance under $500, start with LG CordZero, Tineco A11/A15 Hero, or a used Dyson V10/V11. If battery cross-compatibility isn’t a must, just get a vac that actually vacuums.

I've used a Tineco A11 Master for 5 years now. It's proven to be quite useful in our tiny 58 m² apartment. In the beginning, one of our medium pile carpets caused the "multi-tasker" brush to completely stop rotating. I was about to return it, but after writing Tineco and going through the trouble of recording and sending them a video of it the brush suddenly started working. The cannister fills up quite quickly and you need to put a bit of effort into regularly cleaning the filters. Otherwise, it's been quite worth it. I'm looking to upgrade soon and I'm thinking about another model from them... the A90S looks quite nice, but I need to research a bit more. Having a few extra filters on hand is really useful whenever you need to rinse one out. They need a day or two to dry out, so you don't wanna be waiting on that to be abl to vacuum again.
I wouldn't opt for the A11 anymore. The newer models seem to have pretty significant upgrades. I think I get about 30 minutes out or a battery, considering going bsck and forth between low, medium and high modes.
Habe seit ca 4 Jahren einen Tineco Hero A11, ist ziemlich OK für glatte Böden und tonnenweise Katzenhaare.
bought tineco hero 11 few months ago. skeptical at first since I’ve been using a dyson for a while but I’m surprisingly impressed with it suction power for its price
If cordless is what you’ll actually use, Tineco might be worth a look. I’ve had okay results with their stick vacs on both carpet and hard floors, and the bin is easy enough to clean. Not perfect, but it’s been practical for regular use.
Why torn? Stick vacs are awesome. I just wish there were more USA made models, until then it’s MAC bid or tineco brand for the win
