What kind of vacuum should we buy?

We are in need of purchasing a new vacuum. I will say right away that a Dyson is out of our budget. In 1995 we did have the budget to purchase a vacuum from Sears. It lasted me 10 yrs. Then for the past 3 years we have had to buy 2 cheap vacuums from Walmart. We have lots and lots and lots of cat hair. Before we didn’t and so that’s probably why the other vacuum lasted so long. I never knew that checking on Consumer Reports cost and so that’s why I am asking on here. We mostly need a vacuum good with cat hair. We seen the new ad for the new vacuum specifically for pet hair but didn’t know if any one owned one yet that may be able to give their opinion. We also must have a bagless. We would go through way to many bags with all the cat hair. I haven’t used a bagged vacuum since 1995 and don’t want to go back. So what kind of vacuum’s is everyone using? Every opinion will be considered and appriciated. We also deep clean our vacuum after every use. Thanks Everyone
