I'm kind of a tool obsessed person who loves to experiment especially when it comes to vacuums and I'll have to say every vacuum has its pros and cons. We have about 12 different types of vacuums around the house and by far the most satisfying to use is the DeWalt Stealthsonic. It's quiet, powerful and relatively affordable compared to the Dyson. But I would go to neither the DeWalt or Dyson for quick pickups and none of the the aforementioned can automatically touch up the house at night like the Roomba or Roborock Qrevo. To OPs original point, for pure suction yes it's the best tool but for portability, storage space, etc it sucks.
I have a DeWalt Stealthsonic shop vac. It is so quiet. I haven't had it long. Just used it today, to vacuum up dust from sanding. It works great, so far.
I have a Dyson canister vacuum. Works great. I can't use it on my rugs, because the suction is so strong it goes through the rug and sticks to the hardwood. I like that I don't have to buy bags for it. I appreciate a bagged vac, and I put a bag on my shop vac. But I don't dump the dust in the house, I put the trash can outside first. I have mostly hardwood floors, and stone tiles, and the bedrooms have berber carpet. Canister rocks on the hard surfaces. I have an upright Dyson for the carpet. The attachments are mix and match for the Dysons, which is very nice. I have about a dozen attachments for them.
People are also comparing a brand new vacuum with a brand new filter to an older, used bagless vac. I don't mind dumping the bins, and find it cleaner than removing a bag to replace it. But that's just me.
