What??

Have you looked at Consumer Reports and Good Housekeeping websites for their opinion, vacuums that have been tested?  

Search for Best Cordless Stick Vacuums 2019 Consumer Reports...and Good Housekeeping.  

They break them down into what's best for large areas, deep cleaning on carpets, best for carpets and bare floors, which one has the longest run times, etc. 

If inclined you could also look at other websites that have their "best" lists, too.  That's what I would do.  

Then I'd read reviews on websites that sell them.

@Foxxee yes, I have done that and read reviews, too.  Just thought I would ask here for opinions/experiences from the Q crowd.

My daughter has one made by Electrolux, she loves it.

I love my Dyson V10. I have dogs and it works great!  Easy to hold in your hand.

The only thing I can tell you is friends and co-workers havent been happy with their cordless Dyson.....On QVC they bragged you can use it for an hour....but thats on a low setting with hardwood floors....if you have carpeting and it needs cleaning, if you use the high setting it will run for about 10 minutes normally....maybe 30 on hardwood floors on high and Consumer Reports and other Consumer Blogs said the same thing....  That Dyson is too expensive for just that short of time on the high setting....too much of a hassle....

Bissell and Dirt Devil ranked high....followed by Shark...

Bissell Air Ram 1984
CR’s take: For an affordable price you get a top-notch and self-standing cordless stick vacuum. The Bissell Air Ram 1984 scores an Excellent rating on our carpet cleaning test and is just as good at bare floors. It has the longest runtime among the cordless vacuums in our labs, with a charge that lasts 47 minutes. Even though it's a basic model, the Bissell Air Ram has held its place near the top of our ratings for some time. But unlike other stick vacs, it doesn’t convert to a hand vacuum or come with any accessories.

Dirt Devil Power Stick SD12530
CR's take: The well-priced slim Dirt Devil Power Stick SD12530 is no slouch when it comes to cleaning carpet and bare floors, and picking up pet hair, and it earns an Excellent in all three tasks. The corded model gracefully glides along edges, picking up dust as it goes. It operates quietly, but its emissions aren't as clean as some of the other stick vacuums we've tested.

Shark Apex DuoClean Corded ZS362
CR's take: The Shark Apex DuoClean Corded ZS362 aces all of CR's cleaning tests, including earning an Excellent rating on our difficult carpet test. The DuoClean power head includes a bristle roller and a soft roller so you can easily move from floor to carpet and back again. And this cleaning machine cleans itself by automatically clearing hair from the brush roll. The little vac is easy to maneuver under furniture, and an LED lights the way. The dustbin pops in and out with ease and the vacuum stands on its own, making it easier to store.

@MamaWick  I have the V8 Dyson and I like mine. It's super convenient as its always plugged in and ready to go anytime! 

I have a 1600 square foot house and am able to get the house vacuumed in the 45 mins that it runs w/o having to recharge it. I never have to put it on the "Max" setting either. I just use it on the normal/basic level and its fine. That has been my experience and 'I'm sure you know as with anything, there are people who are going to like it and others who won't. Just look at the item specs and make sure it has most, if not everything you're wanting!!

Best wishes!!

You can always look for reviews on Amazon.

Another vote for Dyson.  I've used the V6 model for years without a problem.  Bought it at Costco.
