apartment storage friendly vacuum recommendations

Purchase Advice (U.S.)

Hi everyone! My boyfriend and I live together in a 950sf apartment with our dog, and my vacuum is NOT cutting it. We have a cordless Shark which was great for the first year or so, but now no matter how much cleaning or filter changes, it ALWAYS smells and clogs. Last time I cleaned it, so much dust and dander blew out that it looked like a dragon. It does nothing to pick up my hair or his hair, and even after I vacuum, there’s stuff on my socks. It’s driving me mad.

Aforementioned apartment doesn’t have much storage. I’d love to just rip it and get a Miele, but that’s a bit out of budget and we wouldn’t have a good place to store it. Does anyone have a recommendation for something more apartment friendly that still gets the job done? TIA!!!
