I haven't got a new a vacuum at least in a decade (more likely 15 years or few more), but I'm on a market for a new one too. Current one is Miele and it's been abused by dog hair, kids, house remodeling and pretty much whatever you can think of. It still functions but the plastic is starting to fall apart.
But, based on that one model, which hasn't been available in years, it seems to be a pretty reliable.
Aamen.
