Default vacuum cleaner recommendation

You don't see many actual cylinder types these days.
I notice that the design we used to call that are now known as Sled design.
I guess because they either have sliding rails or rows of wheels on the
bottom.
Also you need to decide if you want to use bags, mostly disposable or have
a reusable dust collector. The latter tend to be cyclonic and hence suffer
the weak points of this design, filter clogging, and need a lot of cleaning
out of these every few months. My bosch is quite good, but it is often
stopped by picking up a small plastic bag or bit of packaging which gets
over the conical filter in the cyclone needing the side to come off to
remove it.
Henries usually have bags and the only thing I'll say is that the hose
connection to the cleaner has a habit of unscrewing from the device you
attach it to the cleaner with. Easy to fix but annoying.

Looking for a mains powered cylinder vac. Don't mind if it's expensive.
Anyone care to make a recommendation?
