    We have a Dyson upstairs and a Shark in the basement. Both work well on carpet EXCEPT on the stairs. Neither have a long enough hose to work well on the carpeted stairs. I am not a fan of uprights and tried to convince my wife to get a canister.

    Try removing the cannister/motor of the Shark. I do two steps at the time and it works pretty well. If the carpeted treads are pretty dirty I use the brush first then the powerhead. The only problem I've had is mentioned above, the plastic lugs on the dust cannister have broken. They sent us a new cannister the first time and the second time they sent us a whole vacuum. Perhaps the design changed and they had no old style cannisters, don't really know why they sent us a whole machine.
