Had a good run with my Hoover Windtunnel Air Steerable for about 10 years I think (or something that long). Multiple plastic handle and hoses broke and not worth fixing anymore. Shopping for a replacement and the priority is weight (prefer the lightest in the 8-10A power), ergonomic (need swivel head or ball steering), durability (something that won't get stuck with a repair waiting for parts or electronics repair kind of weird stuff), bagless preferred but bag is ok if the vacuum is excellent otherwise. I don't think battery vacuum is powerful enough or durable enough (want 10 years with this) but feel free to prove me wrong.
So far I know the same vacuum I have is discontinued, and Miele no longer make corded upright vacuum. So far based on what I see these are my options:
1) Dyson Ball 3: fashionable seems durable and good ergonomics, pricy
2) Shark Navigator / DuoClean Swivel: seems like 80% of dyson at 50% of the price, can lift away the can for stair cleaning (I have a 2/F house), some people complained you can't take it apart to replace stuff
3) Kenmore bagless upright: light weight, good review but some people comment on not durable
4) Hoover windtunnel: same brand as before, seems durable, but heavy (16 lb instead of 12-14 lb as before).
I got to admit I have a thing against dyson as the early review when they first came out was they are not durable, recently I heard they are really durable so I don't know if that's different now or not. Same concern with Kenmore.
Budget is probably $150-250 but again priority is weight and ergo. Suction prefer to be 8-10A motor but that's a compromise with weight. I prefer not to go with the super light weight one like Eureka.
No pet.
