When I moved to my present home, a bungalow' I got quite expensive light carpeting right through. However because the pile is deeper than I realised, I've tried different stick vacuums (I can't really manage a cylinder type, most are too heavy for me) and they don't seem to have enough suction.
Can anyone recommend a lightish weight one with really good suction?

I have a Henry Quick stick cleaner. Does a good job on my light coloured carpets.

Have you tried a GTech AirRam? They are cordless and very light. I find ours is certainly powerful enough, but don't have very deep pile carpets. I have the K9 version.

I've just bought a Miele Triflex HX1 and I'm well impressed. 3 suction levels and, when using the lowest level, the battery will last an hour. I only used level 3 once and I struggled to get it to release the carpet! It's lighter than my old Dyson and it comes apart much easier if you want to use the handheld bit to clean the car.
Not the cheapest but by far better than either my previous Dyson or Shark.

I like my shark that bends in the middle. Find it powerful enough
