I've had a good experience with a Shark vacuum. It had high ratings from Consumer Reports. I bought one and found it did a great job with heavy carpet and rugs, and wood floors. It is easy to take apart, clean, etc.

I have a Shark also, sub £200 (£170 i think), pretty sure a similar Dyson was easily twice the price. It is quite, light (its one of the hand held models) and certainly powerful enough for general use around the house.

Yeah the build quality really impressed me about the Shark.

It's light, but has been really powerful, durable.

Our Shark just died but it served honorably for about 10 years if I remember correctly. It was very affordable when we got it as well.
