I had the Philips one but after about a year it’s suction changed to the point where it’s hard for it to pick up cat litter now…
It must be able to deal with a lot of cat hair and litter… and preferably be under 500 euros.
Of course I think a corded one is better for my purposes, and I have mostly hard floors with a few small rugs.
The problem is that every year the quality decreases, so it becomes difficult to know which vacuums will still be good. For example, someone may have purchased the same vacuum 5 years ago and think it’s great but the one sold today might not compare
I hate bagless vacs since you get exposed to all that dirt and pathogens when you empty them, plus anything sticky that gets vacuumed up will get stuck in the vac and eventually have to be scrubbed out. Get a bagged vac if you can. I’m in the US and use an upright/canister, bagged, Dirt Devil MVP.
