Looking for some opinions on a vacuum for house with 80% carpet. Had a Kirby back in the day but wondering what you all might suggest.

Performance Reviews on YouTube or LINK

Reviews by a seasoned Vacuum Tech
While most vacuum cleaner Youtube reviewers are either paid influencers, or just personal bloggers, “Performance Reviews” offers an objective, impartial assessment of machines with a fact based, quantifiable set of criteria in addition to end-user comments and opinions.
The channel was started by an experienced technician with a life long interest in vacuum cleaners and sixteen years as a sales and repair professional.
Performance Reviews doesn't just test suction and air flow, but also pick up function, filtration quality and user “friendliness”. Performance Reviews also consults dealers throughout the VDTA network, along with vacuum cleaner collectors, to assess what historically has or hasn't worked.
The overall goal of Performance Review is to provide the industry as well as the consumer, with an honest, fact based assessment of current vacuum products.

I got a Dirt Devil upright bagless with HEPA filter about 18 years ago... That "sucker" still is doing a damn good job... It was cheap compared to some of the models that are out there...

Whatever brand you choose I would highly recommend a cordless. I will never go back to one with a cord. I have a The Dyson V15 Detect Cordless Vacuum.

I also bought a Dyson cordless. Got a refurbished on woot for pretty cheap. I haven't pulled out my corded vac since. Just too easy.

I don't mind the cord, maybe I'm a psychopath. Never loses juice, never have to deal with battery replacement, and I think it has more power (but maybe me imagining that).
I have a "slim" cordless Shark that we keep in the kids' playroom and it's fine I guess, but for the rest of the house I use our corded Dyson (animal 3) and it's a great vacuum.

Outside of a few commercial-grade options which generally have pretty short runtimes, corded units are still the best option for residential. If you are a buy-once-cry-once sort then Sebo is hard to beat. Local vacuum dealers are usually the best place to look and can often try something out first to see how it works. I only have two rooms left that have carpet, soon it will be all hard floors and a few low-pile rugs, I can pretty much run a shopvac for all I need now.

Shark cordless is what we use. I still have a corded one as well, but rarely use it unless I forgot to charge the cordless one. Mostly hardwoods, and a few short rugs. The only carpet is out off the deck in my home office, but that's a 12x14 room and takes about two minutes to knock out. I can do the whole downstairs, the stairs themselves, and the two bedrooms upstairs on one full charge and have some left over. On the stairs is there the cordless really shines, and in small rooms like bathrooms. I hated using the corded one and having to stop and unplug it and plug it back in.
