I recently bought a condo and I need to buy my first vacuum haha. Most of it is tile/hardwood but the two bedrooms have carpet so I'll need some sort of vacuum. I've read all the threads praising Dyson on here but I don't want to spend $500+ on a vacuum. I was looking at these, but I know literally nothing about vacuums so any help would be appreciated:

Also, as for bag vs bagless (canister), is one better than the other? I can see the appeal of no bags, but at the same time isn't it also convenient to just seal the top of the bag and throw it out rather than empty the canister (which I would assume sends dust everywhere)?
EDIT: I have no pets, but I have allergies (dust & similar).
Thanks in advance.
