I hate my Dyson that I've had for many years, have always hated it and much more than any other vacuum I have ever used. So ... I looked for years for a bagless upright & canister combo at what I considered a reasonable price. Shark now has one ... it's a rotator lift-away. I bought the package deal that includes the caddy so that I can set the lift-away part on the caddy, which then I can pull around ... ergo, a canister vacuum cleaner. I'm in my 70's and this is the first vacuum cleaner that I really, really like. The 30' cord is a bit shorter than the cord on my Dyson, but I can deal with that. There are a lot of Shark models available; if you go Shark shopping, suggest you shop with care to get exactly what you want & need. Sam's Club has/had? a version, but only a 20' cord and no caddy, etc., so I bought directly from Shark on-line.
