Vacuum for dust and pet hair

I love the idea of vacuums but I’ve never had a vacuum that actually works.

I have all hardwood floor in a 1,500 sq foot apartment

A cat that sheds a lot and pieces of litter end up on the floor

And for some reason my house is so dusty all of the time even tho I have a good air purifier that does help a lot with the dust.

Whenever i sweep or vacuum dust and fur just goes flying and I’m tired of it lol.

I’d prefer like a stick vacuum (I’m okay with corded) just for the convenience sake

I appreciate any suggestions thank you!!!
