Vacuum recommendations?

My vacuum just bit the dust. It was a Miele, I got it because I remembered an AMA from a vacuum repair guy more than 10 years ago who said they were the best. It had terrible suction and the cord isn't long enough to make it all the way across some rooms (have to stop half way and plug into a closer outlet).

So, can anyone please recommend a great vacuum, good for pet hair in carpets, can also handle tile, has a long cord, preferably an upright with a canister instead of a bag, and a lot of suction.

Thanks.

I also bought a used Kirby. Best vacuum I've ever had, hands down. Parts are plentiful and cheap, and the thing is a tank. Yeah, it's on the heavy side, but it has a transmission that makes it pretty effortless to use. Apparently they sold new for something like $1600 (no way I'd pay that), but I found it used but well treated and complete, with all the attachments for $25. It's already outlasted two Dysons that my wife uses in the other end of the house, and is still going strong.

Just make sure you're buying it from clean people who take care of their shit, and you can't go wrong, IMO.
