This person always replies with the same canned responses advocating for Shark because Consumer Reports said so. If you want to take Consumer Reports word for something straight up then by all means, you do you.
The bottom line is, there are a lot of machines out there. Many of them are very good for a specific use case, or given a set of variables to compare against.
A lot of it is down to opinions and personal preference.
As for Shark, I own one. Model: NV352 31. It, like many sharks, has plastic clips at important points of connection. These are weight bearing, and are prone to failure. Shark will not sell you these clips even though they are an easily replaceable part. All I needed was the red piece of plastic. In my case, the only option was to buy the entire top hose assembly as seen here: https://www.amazon.com/113FFJ-NAVIGATOR-LIFT-AWAY-VACUUM-HANDLE/dp/B00STQV68M/
Shark and Dyson also make bagless vacuums. Some folks find them to be dirty and disgusting to empty. I am one of those people.
Here's a great video from AvE. He does an excellent job tearing down equipment and providing a visual understanding of how things are built, and what his opinion on their quality is. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NPTzNJMd19A
That said, my Shark cleans the floor about 80% as well as my Miele will. It does not filter nearly as well, but it's passable.
My final opinion, /u/mjwood1, is to do your own research and really find what machine will deliver the things you need and have the problems you want to have. Try them out, get a feel for them. Get your moneys worth.
Otherwise, I'd say this.
If you've got $100ish to spend, buy a Hoover
If you've got $200ish to Spend, Buy a Shark.
More than $200, save some more or buy the above.
If you have $400 or more to spend, consider a high end canister, upright as long as you're willing to take care of it. Sebo, Miele.
