Miele C1 gets my vote.
Ours has lasted at least 5 years now without any issues whatsoever. -
The MiL has one, an xl, I believe. It’s very good picking up dog hair etc but it weighs a ton, which is noticeable when using it, if that bothers you

Get a SEBO vacuum, and never buy another one again. They are like the commercial equiv of a Miele.
We got one free with a house, its now taken over main vacuum duties from a (was free and new 5 years ago) dyson mini ball. Its a heavy upright that you cannot leave stationary anywhere on carpet as it will melt nylon and dismantle wool carpets given the chance. But wow, clean the carpet, cleans the underlay, even probably pulls some dust out from the floor boards through the other two materials. Totally serviceable, idiot proof, and all of your mates will believe the story you tell them about taking it home after staying at an old looking hotel.
Sebo 360 is the default heavy duty job, doesn't like hard floors, total boss on non delicate carpets. Used for months on building sites, gobbles up plaster dust and chunky debris without breaking (any other vacuum will break within 3 weeks). The 'felix' is the 1960's looking upright thats a bit more home based but similar power and build quality.

Are Shark vacuum cleaners still rated on here? They've got a sale on, and ours is a pile of shit Beko that struggles to get rid of cat hair - or frankly, anything - off the carpet, despite being marketed as a pet hair specific model.
Otherwise, what vacuum around the £200 should I get?
