Hope you have better luck with a Shark vacuum than we did. About 9 months ago we purchased a Shark bagless model for use in our lower level of which about half is carpeted. The Shark did not see a lot of use because it was purchased just to keep my wife from having to carry the Tyson we have up and down stairs. In a little less than 6 months, one day it started to smoke and had the acrid smell of something electrical burning. It was purchased at Costco so we had no issue returning it for a full refund. The lady did not even ask "why" - it still carried the lingering odor of burnt wiring.
