Actually MIL has an electrolux. Had the first one for 13 years before it died & replaced it with one pretty much exactly the same.
Mum & dad are on their second Vax after having the first for about 10 years..

My last one was a Tiffany I got from a hardware shop. Its actually a good vac (suction was better than the vax IMO), but its just falling apart!
The bit that attatched the head to the first pipe snapped within 2 weeks, so I'm having to re tape it every 2 - 3 weeks, the cover bit to make it look nice fell off not long after. The extender bit stopped clicking, so is held open with tape, the little valve thing at the handle falls out all the time, the filter cover falls off, the cord extender doesn't lock the cord out anymore... lol I could go on!
I've had it about 3 years, so for a cheap one, it's done pretty good

The vac itself still works great, but I can't afford the bloody electrical tape to keep up with it!!
& I have issues with touching the bags.. I want a bagless...
