I speak from experience. I experience many vacs daily. Bagless all leak. The brush rolls are weak at best. Shark puts out models with no or very little support. The bagless vacs are designed to be replaced in 5 years. Bagged especially Riccar and Sebo are designed to last 20 years and create a MUCH cleaner space than any bagless.
Shark and all bagless can afford advertising and reviews because it costs nothing to make the trash they sell.
See a local dealer, learn what it takes to be a real vacuum.
Hmmm if you want professional opinion, ….. 1. Corded
2. Bagged
3. Riccar
4. See a local dealer
BIFL vacuums only. Quit filling landfills with bagless garbage.
Riccar makes the best uprights with a huge selection. R40/r30 great for carpets and hardfloor, long hose, superior filtration to sebo.
R27 great for hardfloor and very good on carpet. Long hose, again superior filtration to sebo.
I’d go to a flooring store and see what their recommendations are. I have a Riccar Tandem Air that will deep clean your carpet. If you use the wrong vacuum you can and will void your warranty, it’s a crappy industry secret
Miele is an EU brand, and their vacuums are designed for smaller square foot living spaces. They pack up nice, the cord rolls up, etc. I personally believe that they are not as popular in the US because of this.
Dyson is a trap, they are riding on brand name alone now. If you have a Dyson from 12 years ago, great, it's probably really good. But the new ones are lacking QC.
Shark is disposable. They even say that they are in the business of making vacuums, not repairing vacuums.
For our money, we bought a Riccar and I highly doubt anything out there is as powerful as the Tandem Air.

Ultra-durable, 10-year warranty, but expensive with short cord.
