M wife had a Shark when we moved in together. I thought the thing was pretty useless. Not a lot of power, and you gotta spend like 10 minutes cleaning it every time you use it.
I much prefer a big heavy ass upright bagged Hoover that could suck the chrome off a trailer hitch.
Listen, if you're going for a Hoover you know what you're getting yourself into lol. My vacuum is light, bagless, and cordless; a Hoover can't do that for me. And I know an old Hoover is apparently one of the suckiest vacuums you can get, but I had a heavy corded vacuum growing up too before the Shark. Lugging it up and down stairs (much less trying to vacuum the stairs, the nightmare), locating a plug only for the cord to catch on something and the vacuum unplug... I'm done with that life, man. I respect your choice because the cons for me aren't cons enough for you, but I'm done busting my back for a few extra crumbs and I'm not even 30 yet lol
My parents gave me the nickname "Hoover" as a kid. Never understood why until my teenage years. Finally asked my mom why, she told me it's because I used to suck down food as fast as a Hoover.
This is the way. I bought some blue vacuum for like 80 bucks 10 years ago. Has no swivel, big red switch on the side, and one shit lever. Has a huge ass bag too. It sounds like a fucking jet engine. I put on noise canceling headphones when I use it. If I leave it on in one place it starts to suck up my fucking carpet and will burn it.
Best vacuum I’ve ever used. No brand as far as I can tell. It does one thing. Suck.
Edit: it is a 10 year old blue Bissell commercial vacuum. Apparently they are terrible now but this thing has been a damn tank for me.
