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
For people with pets, the Cat & Dog version. Just be aware that the brushes in the hoover head tend to wear out in 4-5 years, depending on the frequency of hoovering and amount of hardfloors. A genuine replacement head can get a bit pricy; for the Cat & Dog head even more so.
How often do you find you need to change the bags? I’ve heard the cost can really add up
About once every 3-4 weeks. It is costly, but I get them off Anazon at a reasonable price. The box of bags also comes with two sets of filters that need to be replaced regularly.
