I know this might seem like an odd question, and this might be the wrong community (if it is, pls tell), but I'm currently looking for a reliable, but very cheap vacuum cleaners.

For years my family just bought the cheapest name brand vacuum that they could find in the nearest store, but they all suck (pun intended) these days. I think most of companies just whitelabel asian vacuums and sell them for as much profit as possible, and the end users end up with vacuums where random plastic clips break and the vacuum just not turning on, directly after the warranty expired.

Our new Philips one just kicked the bucket, and now we try to not repeat our mistakes. Is there any secret brand for our purposes?

We practically vacuum the whole house daily because of the dog hair. We've had bad experiences both with bagless and non-bagless, so that doesn't matter, as long as the bags are reasonably priced. The budget is pretty much what the cheapest supermarket vacuum would cost, and probably not much more.

The vacuum needs to be available in Germany.

I hope theres some good household tech out there anymore, god I love capitalism so much

If you have any questions, let me know

I dont think it's focussed that well, but hey, what can you do.
