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.

Why not get it repaired? It’s a Miele.

It didn't have very good suction. It required going over the same spot 4-6 times to get the dog hair out of the carpet, then you'd have to lift it a couple of inches above in order to suck it up.

Yeah - my point was that a Meile is a quality machine, and should be able to be repaired rather than replaced outright. I could be wrong, I don’t know the details of yours, but was speculating that maybe the motor needs to be swapped or something…something cheaper than getting a whole new one.

That is what I was expecting when we got the Miele. I could have just gotten a lemon, but the results of the one we had were disappointing. We ended up getting a Dyson Ball Animal 3. While I hate the cheap plastic construction of it, damn does it deliver. Re-vacuuming the rooms that were done just hours before the Miele died, it pulled out an entire cannister of hair & dust from each room, and the cord is long enough to reach all areas of all rooms. Maybe Miele has some higher end models that can rival this performance, I might check them out in 10 or so years when this new one craps out.
