I did some reading on Vacuumland (an internet vacuum forum) and read reviews/comparisons before buying our last vac.
Dysons are not well liked by vacuum nerds on that forum, and bagless vacs are also not well liked.
I wanted something not made in China and I eventually settled on an Electrolux Ultrasilencer canister model. It's made in Hungary and is super quiet. Working great so far.
Many of the new Electrolux models are made in Hungary, but some of the lower-end models are made in China.
Another company that assembles vacuums in the US sells them under the brands Simplicity and Riccar.
The company Aerus also makes high-end vacs in the US. Until a few years ago Aerus had the rights to the "Electrolux" name in the US. So, vacuums more than a few years old with the Electrolux name were actually made by the company Aerus. The European company Electrolux recently re-aquired the "electrolux" name in the US.
Anyway, here are links to the brands I mentioned:
