   TTineco Pure One S11new4 pts

   GPT —Claude #2Gemini —

   The best cordless experience that dips under $200 on frequent sales — iLoop dirt sensor auto-adjusts suction, lightweight, great on hard floors, easy to maneuver

   To rank higher Longer real-world battery life at max power (roughly 10-12 minutes) and a bigger dustbin would make it a no-compromise pick.

6. 6
   Shark Rotator Lift-Away ZU562new3 pts

   GPT —Claude #3Gemini —

   A step up from the Navigator — better carpet deep-cleaning, self-cleaning brushroll options on some trims, anti-allergen sealed system, often discounted to $180-200

   To rank higher More consistent sub-$200 street pricing; it frequently sits just above the budget, making it a deal-watch buy rather than a sure thing.
