  Finally stopped buying cheap vacuums and invested in a better one, does it actually last?

  I've had a Simplicity upright for over 15 years. They're relatively inexpensive and all the parts (that I'm aware of) are replaceable. They're also designed not to fail. The motor has a thermal trip/reset and the belt is designed to break before the motor can burn out.

  Best vacuum cleaner?

  Cordless's great for convenience but longevity is kinda hit or miss so for hardwood, carpet and two cats that prolly sheds 24/7, you’re gonna need something that has real durable power and you can't get that with the cordless kind but honestly imo even the corded ones aren't much of a pain if the cord is long enough and the vacuum is the right height. You can check out the one from simplicity since sort of fall under this category, it's a newer brand but looks pretty good judging by the reviews, cord's like around 30 feet so you can move it around the house easily. There's also HEPA filter which is handy for those cat hairs it traps it instead of blowing it somewhere. Plus, all the tools you need for couch corners, stairs, and cat hair are clipped onto the vacuum which is really convenient cuz otherwise they just get lost in drawers. A bit heavier than a cordless but still easy enough to push around.

  What Vacuum for $150 and under? or maybe $200

  Here's a list I had written up for another user with similar parameters. Bagged=Better. A BIFL vacuum under $200 really can't be considered BIFL, but I think these are some good options (For primarily carpets, all hard floors would be a completely different list.) I would always recommend buying from a brick and mortar store if possible. Not only do they typically provide better service/support than big box stores and internet retailers, they are essential your warranty center and I think if your paying for warranty you should make sure you have a place to have it taken care of. There are other brands that are not mention here that are available (Cirrus,Evolution, etc.) but I would recommend most the machines below over these companies. Carpet Pro/Fuller Brush - I have these with commercial accounts that have used them for 9+ years. (To give you an idea the vacuum industry considers 1 year commercial use = 5 years residential use.) With this formula these machines have 45+ years of use on them. *Now these machines are well cared for and maintained which is only going to prolong the life compared to folks that do nothing to maintain their machines.

They are owned by a bigger company who also owns, Dirt Devil, Royal, and Oreck. I think these are the two machines they make that are worth a darn. [Hoover Tempo - IMHO the best machine Hoover makes these days] (http://www.amazon.com/Hoover-WidePath-Bagged-Upright-U5140900/dp/B0009ONZ8G/ref=sr_1_1?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1444932726&sr=1-1&keywords=Hoover+tempo) [Wintunnel] (http://www.amazon.com/Hoover-Anniversary-WindTunnel-Self-Propelled-U6485900/dp/B0016NP14A/ref=sr_1_4?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1444932754&sr=1-4&keywords=Hoover+windtunnel) Panasonic - Has a number of bagged uprights that work very well UG223 UG471 Riccar/Simplicity - I personally have had my Riccar for 6+ years and it would be my recommendation. They have good warranties and they're made in Missouri.
