Miele. Have had our platinum since 1998, Capricorn since 2005, C1 since 2005, C1 since 2009, another Capricorn since 2013, and C3 since 2015. All still working beautifully, only issues were with the 2013 Capricorn, which has been to the repair shop multiple times - bad apple blended with an aggressive housekeeper. We would never consider purchasing anything but Miele. Because of our positive experience with the vacuum, we bought a Miele refrigerator and a Miele dishwasher in 2013 and both are still going strong with minor repairs along the way. Miele is well worth the investment.
Have a Samsung jet. It is good but you still need a proper vacuum as well. The Samsung I use for quick whizz around and it's great for taking up to our loft bedroom but none of them perform anywhere near as well as a wired vacuum like a Miele S3.
I'd invest more in a proper vacuum then buy a relatively basic cordless one for those quick clean up jobs.
We have two Miele cylinder vacuum cleaners, one upstairs one down.
The upstairs one was bought new in 1992 and still works faultlessly. The second is a much older design obtained for £0.00 from Freecycle (when that was a thing) about 15 years ago. Both perform powerfully and faultlessly*.
The older one has a powered sweeper head which works well on both carpet and hard floors. I got it from a posh lady who said she was embarrassed when friends came around for coffee and saw her “ancient” vacuum cleaner. She had replaced it with a new Miele to save her blushes.
Both are 1500W and extremely powerful.
*The cable retractor on the upstairs one made a squeaking noise when operated. My first wife told me to fix it so I sprayed it with some WD40. It stopped the squeak but the retraction process has since needed human intervention. 🙄

I bought a Miele cylinder vacuum 30 years ago and it still works as it did when new. I was looking to buy a second one to avoid carrying up and down stairs and spotted one on a local Freecycle group.
Collected it from a nice lady in a very posh house. It’s even older than the one I already had but works like a dream. It has a powered brush head and several power levels. Again, it works like a new one. All it needs is a new bag every now and again. Cost me £0.00.

Miele is consistently rated as the best among impartial, professional reviewers & can be bought for $300-$500 depending on the model
They last a long time as well.
Personally I use a Samsung Bespoke Jet, mostly for the convenience factor of having a dust station & no long cables to deal with. We also have an old Miele S series that does a good job after almost a decade (motor overheats a tad though).
