The Miele Dynamic U1 PowerLine is a corded upright vacuum with impressive build quality. It delivers superb cleaning performance on bare floors and does a great job of picking up various kinds of debris on both low and high-pile carpet. It's extremely simple to maintain, with an intuitive design that makes it easy to take apart and reassemble. There's a few quality of life enhancements, including an on-board tool rack, a self-adjusting vacuum head, and an adjustable suction level

The Shark Rotator Lift-Away ADV is a corded upright/handheld vacuum. It delivers superb bare-floor cleaning performance and should clear most kinds of debris on both low and high-pile carpet. It's also fairly configurable to suit different cleaning requirements, with two different suction levels, two floor settings, and a decently wide assortment of tools and brushes. Unfortunately, it's quite heavy, and its short vacuum hose makes cleaning high-placed areas and furniture a little tricky in its semi-handheld 'Lift-Away' mode

It does use a bag. It does have a HEPA filter. It just works and it is easy to move around. This isn't the 1k dollar Miele

Like this Shark Vacuum. Happy with the price from Walmart. I do have one concern. I cant find replacement filters for this vacuum on Walmarts web site

So the bottom line is can this vacuum clean up the nemesis of my nemesis - that which is the dreaded cat sand. And to my great surprise, not only can it clean up infamous gritty kitty it doesn't sand blast your legs, arms, and eye sockets with flying chunks while doing so. That is an amazing feat. For an encore it also picks up those pesky giant clumps of hair on my hardwood floor without blowing pieces away or up into my face and eyes

This vacuum is powerful and light. I love the self cleaning brush. I hated manually cutting out the hair on the brush of my last vacuum. This vacuum is really self propelled and easy to push

The swivel head and attached suction hose are really nice. I ding it one star because the door to get to the bag is very hard to open and close; I'm afraid that I will break something. Save your money on the performance pack; you can buy it separately for slightly less. I bought the combination for an extra $100 over the vacuum alone

Suction: Still better than a lot of brands, but not nearly as good as my previous shark.

It swivels; it takes 3 minutes to get used to and you'll never want another vacuum. This is our second one after 15 years. Our first one kept us tidy while we had a husky, a long-haired cat, and a short haired cat -all with a double coat. This one handles four cats - two with double coats - with ease

Even better? The canister and filters are all unbelievably easy to clean and wash when needed ! Such a great feature to keep the vacuum working at its best!

Do not spend this kind of money for a very poorly designed vacuum that blocks up frequently and is very difficult to clear blockage. Over priced and unreliable.

The Shark is a fantastic budget vacuum that holds its own against these two in usability and features, albeit with slightly lower performance marks. Still, I would highly recommend this vacuum. It offers the best value of any of the models and its multitude of accessories will delight the more thorough cleaners among you.
