I have currently 3 of these. I borrowed the others or had the o5hers and sold them.
This qas ez.
The 3 best vacs are the worst at tools storage on the vac itself (2 do have long chords that are a bit of a pain to store but are long))

Those 2 Shark,Kirby, Hoover has great chord since it has rewind,but also poor tool storage.


The kenmore and dyson do everything well,but nothing exceptional over the others,except the kenmore is bagged,so the advantage or disadvantage of that depending on preference.

As far as actual vacuuming Kirby and Shark are the best. With 5he Shark the clear winner due to 3as of use, and adaptability and lack of need9ng unclogging and detangling
Dyson and hoover next.(keep in mind this hoov3r model is$60)



After using these and having to unclog, pull strings,. Change and clean filters,bags..it became obvious which was clearly the best.

The shark apex duo is the vac we as a family want to use the most because it was the best.
#2surprisingly was and has always been the $60 hoover. Its light and powerful. Very basic no frills vac .
The kirby cleaned carpet well but the travertine not so much. Its too loud and heavy for the kids.

The dyson was also louder and just didn't do anything the Shark
Does as well as thw Shark..and 5he kirby outcl2aned it and 5he hoover was just as good on all carpets. Dyson has better on the tile and had more flexibility.
The hoover when diety was a bi5 more to clean,but not hard.

We will keep the hoover as a secondary vac.

Shark will be our primary vac for awhile.
It needs better tool storage design. Its quiet and fun to use.
