Consumer Reports says the best price/performance is the Shark Navigator Professional NV360, we have the Shark Navigator Lift-Away LA300, which costs a little more, but we like very much. Good luck! If you want to spend over $1K, Miele is the best brand, by far.

I have a shark with the fluffy floor duster on the bottom and a "hair wrap" inside the machine. The duster on the bottom is fucking ball ache with long hair, I have to cut it with scissors a lot. The inside part is good I guess, but I've not had enough experience with other vacuums to understand if the hair was ever an issue? But I have to put my hand into it and empty the hair out by hand which is a faff. Anyway I don't think it's worth it to get a Dyson, shark is good and has lasted a few years now. I think most vacuums these days are fine, the difference you'd see in one Vs the other is so marginal honestly.

I hope i dont get crucified here but I purchased a Shark ADV Lift away vacuum from Costco for $320. The ADV version is apparently better. I have super super plush carpets and any vacuum I tried always struggled. I took extra carpet to try out miele and even that one got kind of stuck on the carpet. The Shark glides on it even on max suction. I had to empty the canister like 6 or 7 times in a 2400sqft house where I've lived for only a year. Weekly vacuums. Stairs. All of it. It felt gross knowing how bad my carpets were with my last vacuum. The stairs are carpeted and work very well with the power pet attachment I can't speak for longevity. I'll update you in 5 years My goal is a Sebo 4 which is $1300 new. Used is about 1/4 - 1/3 of that price but the warranty makes up for the cost difference

I don’t know the exact model, but we bought a Shark vacuum after going through several other brands which died quickly. The Shark has lasted for years. It’s a convertible (handheld to stick) type vacuum and it works really well!

I don't recommend shark. We bought it, it's alright, but we still use our corded shark for the heavy lifting.

Im gonna give my two cents. Dyson is a great brand. But i’ve had NOT a bad experience, just an annoying one. The cordless vacuums have the worst battery in a product i’ve ever had. They die by just doing one room. And we have 6 other rooms to do. Like make that make sense.. I switched to a corded shark. Same size i will say. Not the huge kind of vacuums. And my life is way better now. Never dies. I can finish all in 1 go

Corded Shark, I got my second one after 10 years. We have dogs, cats and kids. It does very well, would recommend.

I've had two corded Sharks in the last 15 years and they are so fucking good for my heavy shedders, I cannot sing that brand's praises enough
