The review you have linked includes vacuums that retail for well over $200, such as the Miele Electro+ Canister Vacuum Marine Blue, which retails for $599.20. For that kind of money you can buy the Kenmore Elite with money left and have a better vacuum. I have both machines. The Kenny is more powerful, much larger bag, better attachments, a better hose and a better power nozzle. For my $200 I would shop for a Kenmore 600 Series or BC4027 canister on clearance (floor model for example) or consider a used professionally refurbished Aerus Lux or Tristar canister vacuum. Both brands routinely last three decades given reasonable care. Tristars are all metal with very little to wear out and when something does eventually wear out, they are easy to repair. Parts prices are very reasonable and they stock parts for decades old models. The same is mostly true for Aerus Lux machines but they are not mostly plastic and a little bit more difficult to take apart.
