Looking for a good sub $250 vacuum cleaner

My old vacuum cleaner died thanks to a well-meaning, but extremely long-haired former roommate who liked to vacuum regularly. I found the Dyson thread, but that's out of my budget.

I need something that does carpet well and if it's great at resurrecting crushed fibers, all the better.

Bagged or bag-less doesn't matter to me. Either emptying out the nasty container of loose detritus or having to fork out more bucks for filters seems like a wash.

I also need a hand-vac option. Sometimes I'll vacuum things high up, so I'd need a tube with attachments to get at that stuff.

Being able to purchase it at Costco or through Amazon Prime is a major plus.

Thanks
