Help me find a new vacuum cleaner

[TrixieB]

My old vacuum just died.  I need recommendations for a new vacuum!

My house is about 1/2 hard surface floor and 1/2 carpeted floor.  It also has two carpeted staircases.

I frequently use the extension hose and small brush to clean windowsills, bookcase shelves, etc.  And the crevice tool gets plenty of use too.  So these are essential accessories IMO.

Dh's requests: quieter than our current deafening vacuum, lightweight.

My request: not $$$$$$$

It would be great to be able to buy locally rather than order online.  My previous go-to Sears is no longer an option.

ETA: We don't have cats or dogs so pet hair pickup is not an issue.

I bought one of these and LOVE it: https://www.amazon.com/HOOVER-QuickLift-Bagless-Upright-UH73301PC/dp/B0744TH3PR/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1528762398&sr=8-3&keywords=hoover+react+vacuum&dpID=31r9qLNYd6L&preST=_SY300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch

Watch for sales though, I got it for more than 40% off the current price the same week Target had them on sale.

We have this Shark and I love it: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0091JG0LY/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

We have tile downstairs with a couple of area rugs and hardwood upstairs with a couple area rugs and it does a great job.

I ordered the Shark Navigator Professional Liftaway from costco.com and have really, really liked it. Lightweight, powerful enough for our carpet, but also reasonable for our hardwood floor. Canister lifts off to do our stairwell, with the canister small enough to sit on a stair tread.
