Best vacuum for someone who hates vacuuming?

I really hate vacuuming, to the point that it just doesn’t get done a lot of the time. Ironically, I own three:

-pink Henry (Hattie?). I know they have a cult following but I find mine really awkward, clunky, and heavy. I’ve also managed to break it somehow (despite rarely ever using it) so when I needed it the other day, it barely picked anything up.

-eufy robot. Actually pretty good for a surface sweep, but doesn’t get into the corners and I’d like to spot vacuum sometimes instead of letting it do the whole room.

-eufy handheld. Completely useless, doesn’t pick anything up.

What can I buy this Black Friday that will help me get past my hatred of vacuuming!? I’m more concerned about finding something I’ll actually use than I am about the specifications, although it obviously needs to get the job done too! I have a mix of carpet and laminate flooring and can go up to £200 or so. Small flat with lots of tight, awkward spaces.

Ideally would be something light and cordless but I’ve heard such mixed reviews of the Shark ones.

Also, I do have dogs but they are short haired and don’t shed all that much (although it does accumulate over time). Do the pet attachments add any value for these types of breeds?

thank you!

I bought a Shark rechargeable one to keep upstairs - the idea being it would be easier to have 1 upstairs and 1 downstairs and it would save all the lugging about.

Well it is brilliant! Meaning I actually use this one for downstairs too. The old Dyson is now in the shed, and the Henry (which I also found awkward to use) is never used. I should just get rid of it.

Would thoroughly recommend this Shark OP. Although, I can see I only paid £240 in March, and it's currently £380!
