Last year I ended up buying a Hoover Linx cordless stick vac and the Bissell Pet Hair Eraser hand vac, as I was so frustrated with our old Miele White Star. Both are decent for day-to-day touch-ups, but my Miele has now totally bitten the dust and I need to buy a new vac this week.
As much as I'd prefer an upright vac, I use my hose and attachments all the time to vacuum my very textured adobe walls, furniture, crevices, lampshades, etc.
I've spent a lot of time this morning searching The Wirecutter and Get Cleaning Done. But, every time I check out the customer reviews there are always complaints that the rollers still get bound up with hair and have to be continually cut off. Or that the vacuums are falling apart! I found one that seemed to work well as long as you got down on your hands and knees and used an attachment to get it up. I've been doing that for years with my Miele White Star and am so done with that! For a vacuum that expensive back then it was close to $500.
Is there a vacuum out there that actually really works with pet hair on rugs and hardwood? I need recommendations and ones NOT to buy quickly, please. Help!

the Shark is a pretty good vacuum, very versatile, powerful, yet small. It has all sorts of attachments and many are good on floors
I own the Shark Navigator Lift-Away, and am very happy with it. I got it for under $200.
I love my Dyson and it works great on both carpet and hard floors. But between our Chow Chow and my two long haired sons, there is always hair to remove from around the beater bar. It looks like some recommend cannister style vacuums because they only use suction but others say that they don't work nearly as well in general.
Good luck and let us know what you decide and how it works out.
