This thing is stupid powerful. For once, I didn't go cheap. I wanted something, I dunno, nicer. It's especially good for extracting pet hair. Don't have pets, but I am a hairy bastard, so...
Does it suck?
Totally.
I'm not trying to brag: I have a Sebo vacuum cleaner, one of the fancy ones. I'm extremely happy with it. Having a nice vacuum cleaner is absolutely worthwhile.
I have that exact one and love it. Best vac i’ve ever had.
Same. Been using it for 8 years and it's still as good as it was on day one.
I've often wondered why americans especially seem so keen of this type of vacuum cleaners. When I think of a vacuum cleaner I think of one like this:
I have both a Miele canister similar to your pic and a cordless Shark Rocket. The Rocket:
Whereas the bulkier and more expensive Miele unit has disposable bags and filters, and the brush head (that I had to buy separately for close to the price of the whole ass Shark vacuum) is constantly jammed and needs to be completely disassembled to clear it.
I got a canister vacuum and never went back. Yes, it does have consumables and I have to clean the beater bar, but it is repairable and it cleans very well.
The ones that don't use consumables are typically consumables themselves.

Yeah, my parents bought this cordless Dyson vacuum and that thing is the cheapest feeling piece of plastic junk I've ever seen. I don't even dare to check how much those things cost.
Most people I know that have the type in the op also have the one in your comment or robot one, and usually live in larger houses with multiple floors. The smaller one gets used for"small jobs", the larger one/robot for weekly cleaning. I live in northern Europe.
Got a Shark cannister vacuum and I love it. Very powerful, easy to clean, and it's my first vacuum with lights on the head which are surprisingly useful.
Did you go this brand because of that review site/youtube channel? Be keen to hear how it performs.
For a small vacuum that takes up very little space it does a great job!
I had gone to Target with the express mission of bringing home a new vacuum cleaner. I went down the aisle, reading reviews of what they had. This one came out the winner.

1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of “discuss” rarely comply with this rule.
2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.
3. Avoid repetitive topics.
4. This isn't an advice forum
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.
Some other communities to consider before posting:
5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with “So” - starting a post with pointless phrases, like “I hope this is allowed” or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images.
