I recommend you check out the backpacks from Aer. I purchased one of their slings recently (City Sling 2). It’s awesome and built like a tank. I remember an online reviewer describing it as “overbuilt”.

Their backpacks look cool too (particularly the Fit Pack 3) and I expect they’re similarly overbuilt. So check em out!

Our Hoover is probably 15 years old, and Dyson about 4 years and neither has issues. Parts are easily found online (batteries and the canister button popped off the dyson v6) I found with cordless vacuum over the years that it has to be at least $50+ to be decent given the batteries inside alone are worth more than some cheap ones off Amazon. Perhaps these days maybe 70 even. Is this a cheap one off amazon for $18 or a pricey one?

If looking for a new one with the pole style, consider the LG.

My Hanes (ComfortBlend^(R) EcoSmart^(TM)) full-zip hoodie has lasted almost 10 years and is still going strong. No pilling, fraying, or wearing down in any spot. It's 50/50 cotton-poly, but it feels like cotton -- not poly texture. I've had Uniqlo hoodies that pill within months, and my Nike (unknown manufacturer) has worn down at the cuffs. I use the Hanes just around the house.
