Shark hasn't been good in years.
Samsung and miele are making the best cordless vacuums (which are also terrible compared to any bagged vacuum but I digress.
I've only bought corded vacuums from them, which of course benefit from the line power, so perhaps they're not a good choice for battery operated
A lot of people still swear by Hoover and Oreck since they've been around since the freakin world wars.
Also I can recommend Bissell floor and carpet cleaners, always had a good experience with those
I recently bought a sebo, corded and bagged, and it felt like becoming a true adult.
I have too many vacuums, didn't ask why already typed lol. But out of all of them, the one I make sure I have around on the main floor is a 12 year old riccar bag + cord. I value the portability of cordless for spot cleaning, but on cleaning day the ricar is undisputed heavyweight champion.
Idk about cordless specifically, but the $400 Samsung I had a few years ago was the worst vacuum I've ever had. Temperamental, and one of the houses cracked in less than 6 months. Went back and bought another $70 Walmart Bissell that lasted 7 years, after my previous one went 8.
I have heard nothing but great things about Miele.
I believe your experience is not normal or maybe it's a model thing. But consumer reports only likes sharks up rights and my own anecdotal experience ( I lived in a 3 story townhouse and carrying them up and down the stairs was very much a first world problem for my admitted smaller wife) would tend to agree with the results. The only two I returned was the shark on raw suction power. It simply did not clean as well on both wood or carpet. The Samsung got nearly everything first pass on our carpet. Inlaws have a mieli they love but...idk they are the nice kind of boomers, so🤷♂️. CR agreed with them though.
I guess if anything do not buy because of brand name and look at the model.
