The Shark is well loved by consumers until they have a problem with it. The parts are almost unobtainable. Sharks were built with the idea they would be thrown away. As long as you go into it knowing it's a 3 year vacuum, then a Shark might be right for you again. People do love using them.
The cost of a new brush roll for the Miele ($120) is slightly more than a new Shark Lift Away ($98 at Wal-mart). Miele repair parts are quite pricey. So are the bags and filters. Just sayin. They might be well made, but they are heavy and large - like the Kenmore. | ||

SEBO
I, working for a vac shop, recommend vacs all the time. It sounds like you could use a SEBO Dart or Felix. They have swivel heads, a parquet tool, dust brush, and crevice tool. They use an ET-1 Powerhead which is the same as many central vacs and is very well made. It has features like brush on/off, full bag sensor, telescoping handle*, and easy to use hose. And they hardly ever need work done, if they do, you can do it yourself or it is very cheap or under warranty. I believe warrant is 10yrs parts 10yrs labor 7yrs motor.
*Felix Only | ||

Just watched the Zero-G review done by a fellow forum member, I usually don't even look at canister vacs (closest I used is a rainbow years ago) but this Vac intrigues me since it looks somewhat easy to follow the user. | ||

I would recommend just sticking to bags over something that is bagless, they're much more sanitary to maintain and it's actually better for the environment.
My overall recommendation is to go to some local vacuum stores nearby to try out and see which vacuum offers you the very best for not only your needs but also for yourself as well. Kind of like test driving a car out to see if it is right for you. Now here are some uprights that you can consider looking into when you do go to a dealer: The Miele U1 line are good uprights. Powerful, quiet, durable, and excellent filtration. However you ought to look at the weight of the machines, there's a good chance that these uprights may not be the best fit for you. Yes Miele parts are not cheap but they're definitely alot better quality and reliable than parts that you would find on cheaper vacuums. The Riccar R25 series I also do like. Almost similar to the Miele U1s but they don't have the swivel neck on and I would trust that the Miele U1 would outlast the Riccar R25 in the long run. The Sebo Felix and the Dart are just fantastic vacuums. Also powerful, quiet, durable, and excellent filtration. I wouldn't hesitate anyone to look at either the Felix or the Dart. Just keep in mind that the Dart is not going to have as much features as the Felix. Now here's an upright that I would recommend looking into, the Italian made Lindhaus called the Valzer. One of the best performing, durable and reliable uprights ever made. Almost similar to the Sebo Felix but you can also use it as a dust blower and you can have headlights added onto the powerhead. Anyways, I wish of you the best of luck on your search. | ||

I second the thoughts on a Sebo Felix/Dart. I know they are more expensive state side, but I'd pay Shark/Dyson prices for a Sebo all day every day.
They are beautifully built and incredibly serviceable, its why they have such a following, not to mention their power. The ET-1 powerhead is as close to perfect and entirely versatile as you'll find, and the parquet floor tools is brilliant. Ive take the forward strip out of mine, meaning it picks up large pieces really easily. Just a solidly built vacuum that work and is a pleasure to use. | ||

Meh
Here is the newest Kenmore it is styled like a shark but is a bagged unit.
The shark vertex is a very nice vacuum I'd love to own. It's going to run $300 you could score a deal since Christmas sales are on. CLICK HERE TO GO TO Lesinutah's LINK | ||

Thanks again to everyone for the feedback and suggestions. Lots of good suggestions to review. Thankfully my old vacuum still works so though it's a major chore to use at times it does the job and gives me time to research and watch for any good deals. | ||

I had a chance to use a Zero G just two months ago at the Vacuum Collectors Convention. I was very impressed. The power nozzle grabs the rug and helps propel itself. The machine had very impressive suction. It moved like a dream. Be sure to look at one, although I cannot comment on durability as I only used it and don't own it.

To those that have used the Zero G how easy does the power nozzle move over carpet? | ||
