@Mom in NY :Bissel Air Ram. Cordless, rechargeable, bin, no bags.

No tools, but works well on hard floors and carpet. Easy to store.

I bought mine at BB&B dot com with the 20% off coupon that's easy to find. Reasonably priced and works well. Not too loud either. HTH

From QVC I have Dyson Cyclone V10 Animal Pro Cordfree Vacuum

It lasts less than 10 minutes but that is enough to vacuum my floors. I'd need to recharge to do more. I love not having a cord!

I bought a Hoover Platinum Cordless vacuum. I really liked it. It was powerful yet lightweight. And there was always enough charge to do the carpet and floors in one charge.

Then our lives changed. We got a collie. And with dog hair and all the misc. stuff tracked into the house, I stopped using the cordless vacuum. I figured I was dealing with heavyweight debris.And went bought a heavyduty vacuum for pets.

But I still have the cordless. I know I will want to start using it again as I get older and get tired of the heavyduty and powerful vacuum I am using now.

Cordless are handy for quick pick-ups. Never enough "juice" to vacuum my apartment in one session.

My mother had the same issue.

From reading reviews and talking to family/friends a cordless on a high setting lasts about 10 minutes (20 minutes on low if your lucky )....and not a good choice if you have pets....

I have a Dyson bought at QVC some time ago. I use it mainly for quick pickups but use the Dyson upright for all over cleaning.

When and if I get another cordless, I’ll get something else. No need to spend lots of money for a name especially since I’m on a fixed income. 😁

I loved my Shark,untill after only 1 yr I needed to buy a new battery for it $100

It also did not do deep cleaning,but I should have known that....lol.

My Carpet is looking better now that I am using my regular Shark

I only use my cordless shark for quick pickups in my small three bedroom ranch. For regular cleaning I use my plug in canister.

I don't like cordless anything. Having to charge it and then when the battery wears out, it's cheaper to buy a new unit. I have no problem plugging in my Shark Rocket and my lighter weight Eureka. Love them both.

Years ago I bought Dyson: upright and a cordless. Never will I spend that kind of money again !

Each one had to be taken back to the local Dyson store because the PLASTIC tabs kept breaking. I am 75 and not rough on cleaning equipment.

Simple problems every time I wanted to change to vacuuming furniture from carpet, I would have to either tape or hold the two pieces together.

I was told by their customer service that they use plastic tabs to keep the weight of the machine down....really that tiny little thing weighs so much. Poor quality IMO.

And another poster was correct about the battery dying after a few years and the exorbitant cost. Never again !!!

@kaydee50 . I keep mine on the charging base when not in use.
