I have a Riccar upright sweeper for my high pile and carpet. I have 2 pets and this is a beast of a sweeper. I also have Miele for my hard surfaces.

Both are BiFL in my opinion. The cost is high upfront, but they will both outlive me. Plus as someone with allergies and pets I love a sweeper with an actual bag. Less allergens flying around when you empty it.

As I’m writing this I’m realizing by sweeper, you might mean like a rake and not a vacuum. If that’s the case, ignore the weird regional word preferences.
