I need a hero (and a new vacuum) urgently

Love my shark , lift away , corded , anti hair wrap , works a treat , lots better than my old Dyson , which I felt were never the same after manufacture left the U.K.
Shark feels more sturdy , better build , definitely better cleaning power . Did a lot of research before I got mine ( the particular model seems to have been replaced now ) , cordless models had far worse reviews though . Oh and I love the light at the front which shows every speck of dust as you are cleaning .
Minus point , has a tendency to tip over if you stretch the hose too much .

I started off with a dyson v10 gave that to my parents then got the v11 and now have the samsung bespoke jet 90 too which is the most powerful of the 3.
Id recommend getting a samsung if you can afford it because the quality is better in my opinion although the dyson is still a great choice and not far behind i just feel the samsung wins due to extending pipes, easier to disassemble and clean heads muxh faster, plus the dust bin and filters are far better designed

Oh dear, so the cordless Sharks aren't very good then?

Can't have corded. Plugging and unplugging as we move round the house is a faff (we have heavy furniture on front of most sockets and only places for extensions are not easily accessible either - ie between sofa & sideboard or bed and bedside table). Don't really want another GTech if I'm honest. After a year the damn thing developed a fault and GTech tried to put it right but couldn't. The battery was going from 4 bars, to 3, then suddenly to 1. They sent a replacement battery which did the exact same thing so they sent a new base unit which houses the motor but weirdly the problem persisted. It limped on like that for another 4 years. Will be quite happy to take it to the tip. It was also not very good at cleaning edges or corners of rooms and did definitely lose suction as it aged even though GTech claim they don't.
