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 have pets and bought a new vacuum just a couple years ago. I went with Sebo airbelt k3 after hearing Miele had gone down in quality and I love it. This vacuum fixes every single annoyance I’ve ever had with a vaccum:

    • the canister rolls easily on carpet
    • the cord retracts perfectly every time and rachets out as you pull the canister
    • it’s easy to take apart to clear clogs and even has a little spring flap behind the brushroller to quickly clear the most common place a clog will get stuck
    • the roller is trivial to remove and clean
    • the bags are easy to change and hold a lot of dust and pet hair before you need to change them

    The K3 is a little out of your price range but the K2 and E2 are a bit cheaper. I will say that if you’ve got a lot of thick carpet, it’s worth investing in a vaccuum with a powered brushroller like the K3.
