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 forgot to ask, do you have pets? and how often do you need to use a new bag? I live in a 2 bedroom apartment but one of the rooms isn’t really used

      I’ve got 2 cats and they’re young and make one he’ll of a mess. The couch especially after a week looks like it’s been through WW2. But this vaccum literally makes it look factory new again after I’ve vacuumed it.

      Ove only had mine for the months so far and I vacuum once or twice a week. Still on the first bag and it’s not even half full yet. I’m vacuuming roughly 60-70square meters of house. If I had to guess I will use one bag per 4-5months. Which is quite good imo. A new 5pacl of bag is roughly 30euros, but you can find cheaper too.

        Careful with the couch my cats almost ruined mine lol. I added a cover on it and it helped a lot. It’s mostly because they use it to jump when chasing each other so it gets scratched.

        Which attachment do you use for the couch btw?

          Yeah not so easy to control them when they have the zoomies but generally tell them off if they’re scratching the couch.

          I use the furniture attachment for my couch, works wonders!
