What's the best vacuum cleaner in your opinion?
I'm looking for a vacuum cleaner that doesn't need dust bags and gets its power from the wall socket with a cord. The suction power has high priority for me
Edit: thankyou all for the recommendations, I appreciate it!
I realized, although vacuums with bags are in the daily financing more expensive I guess, they are more reasonable to consider in my case

It’s popular to hate on Dyson but cordless, bagless vacuum is very much a game dominated by them. Others - Samsung, Miele - have great products but I have yet to see a model from them that is truly superior to flagship Dysons. They dominate on suction and battery power.
Dyson is expensive (overpriced?). The owners is an oligarch brexiteer asshole. The brand is perpetually trending with annoying influencers and I find their vacuums ugly, but … they build very good vacuums.
Yes. I own a Dyson. A corded one. We’re on our third one and keep buying them because we have never had any issues with them.
My current one is 4 years old. The one before was 10 by the time we sold it due to international move. The one before we bought 10 years old used before deciding we wanted a new one.
A way to combat supporting the asshole directly is to find and buy one second hand. Even swapping out a simple part for <$50 can extend an $800 vacuum cleaner by several years.
This is the way. I've owned 8ish Dysons and never purchased one new. There are a lot of people who sell their Dyson because it's "not working". Surprise, if the motor is working and there is a suction problem, there's just something stuck in the hose. I can't tell you how many times I've bought a "broken" Dyson only to find an easily fixable blockage.
It sounds like it's most likely between 0 and 9 times.
Doing God's work
Yeah, I had a friend throwing away his Dyson stick vac because it was "pulsating" on and off, well, a quick look in the manual (there's also an online troubleshooter) told me that pulsating like that is a signal to the user meaning there is a blockage, it took 30 sec to fix that.
Truth. Very good point.
Part of the problem with our society is people are so quick to throw perfectly functional shit away because advertisements of all sorts convince them that there is something better out on the market now and that what they have is outdated. The quality of products as a whole have gone to shit because people would rather buy cheap knockoff garbage every 6 months and throw it away than buy a quality product that, with some care and attention, could last decades. I've had a lot of luck over the years being patient and browsing all the sites like craiglist, Facebook marketplace, etc and buying the few remaining top-of-the-line brands second-hand (or sometimes even for free) and making it new again. I'll get off my soapbox now.
and there is a very useful Dyson refurbished factory store on EBay, at least here in Canada. I bought a stick vac there 12 years ago, only had to replace battery and air filter since.
I bought a dyson v6 stick vacuum dirt cheap with a bad battery.
I do a lot of tinkering and instead of buying a new battery from dyson for like $100 or a Chinese knock off lying about capacity (like some claim so high that the type of batteries that are in a battery pack don't exist) I took the oem battery apart and replaced the old batteries with better (I believe the dyson had 18650 samsung 2000 mah batteries) than what was originally in it, and that thing is a beast now. If I don't use turbo mode I could go over the whole house on a charge.
