I second the Dyson (other than the whole not wanting to spend a fortune part).
As Patton noted, they work wonders with pet hair. We have 2 dogs and were going
through quality, brand-name vacuum cleaners (canister and upright) at a rate of
1 per year. We've had the Dyson for a number of years (5 plus, I think) with no
problems whatsoever.

My wife loves her Dyson. I am not sure it would be worth the money to
you, but she used to complain about a string of different brands
before. We were on a every 2 year replacement cycle as she was
battling dog and cat hair. After getting the Dyson 6 years ago, she
hasn't complained. That's compelling enough for me!
I did save some money by getting a refurbished unit.
