Recommend a durable vacuum cleaner
What will you primarily use it for? That changes my recommendation. Couches/light cleaning: Any decent handheld works (like Bissell, shark) Pet hair/heavy use: Look for something with >=500w, strong airflow and a tangle-resistant brush (Like Dyson V11/V15 series, Shark PowerDetect / Stratos) Mattresses: Specialized vacuum worth it (Jigoo J300 is good here) For long-term durability: Motor power matters most, but also look for washable/ replaceable HEPA filters, easy-to-service brush heads, and good heat management.

Looking for a stick vacuum like the one in the photo trusted models you’ve used for years?
Bifl is hard to find with a lot of modern vacuums, especially of the stick variety. I’ve been doing a lot of research on vacuums recently, as I have a shark rocket from about 4 years ago that still works, but doesn’t do the best with pet hair. If you are looking for something good with pet hair, and are committed to a stick vacuum, the shark stratos is one of the best currently available at the price point you listed. There is a corded and cordless model, but when it comes to bifl, I will always recommend corded over cordless. I am currently repairing a Dyson dc35 cordless, and the suction power is a fraction of what my inexpensive shark rocket has. I have used the Dyson V15 detect, and that is beautiful, but crazy expensive. Dysons are like luxury cars. They feel great, and the experience using them is excellent, but repairs are not great, and the quality of their parts are not congruent with the cost of the product. I will say, repairing stick vacuums can also be a little bit of a pain depending on your confidence in doing them.

These are the 25 most recommended vacuum cleaners on Reddit (based on 1,821 users, in the past year) wdyt?
I have a Shark Stratos, and the thing is a beast. I had a Shark for 7 years before this one until it finally died. People on the vacuum subs love to hate on Shark and go nuts for these 1400 dollar models. If you buy a good model of Shark instead of the cheapest, it will last and do a good job at a much cheaper price than the ones the fanboys and fangirls like to push. I swear most of them are vacuum company sales reps.

Best vacuum cleaner?
[Shark Upright Vacuum, Stratos with DuoClean PowerFins, HairPro, Powered Lift-Away, Self-Cleaning Brushroll, & Odor Neutralizer Technology, Navy, AZ3002](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B2VTZ432?ref_=ppx_hzod_title_dt_b_fed_asin_title_0_0) This thing is a powerhouse. I have a golden retriever, two long hair cats, and a shorthair. I too, have hair :) This was to replace a different shark pet ...this is the best vacuum I have ever owned. Easy empty collection cup has a slide lever, fabulous. Pick up great. I recommend it, aside from the odor neutralizer disk.. throw that out
