I am done with cordless. I have had Shark and Bissell. I liked the Bissell best but the battery life sucks & after only 2 years it won’t stay charged long enough to do more than a room and a half. Loved the device itself though. So I recently bought a small corded Shark and I really like it. Even though it’s not quite as portable as the Bissell, it is great for most jobs without getting out the big vac.

We're happy with the Dyson we have. It's a handheld vac or can do floors with an included attachment (that includes a beater turned by the moving air). I consider it useful for spot work or spills but it's not a substitute for a regular vacuum cleaner.

Had a Hoover Linx. Didn't realize how poor the filtration was until one day when I turned it on in a beam of sunlight and was shocked at what blew out of it. I emptied the cup and cleaned the filter on a weekly basis. It's now relegated to the garden shed.

Bought a Riccar cordless for the house. Love it! Powerful, great filtration, massive bag, long battery life and quick recharge. Has a headlight that's perfect for early morning scattered litter cleanup.

I have a Sebo canister for whole house vacuuming, but the Riccar is used on a daily basis in other parts of the house.

For those who favor a portable, but not cordless, the Miele Tactical Stick offers superior performance over others, and is convertible to advanced features, like a power head for carpet, HEPA filter, etc.

Portable, powerful, convertible. That's a lot packed into one product.

If you have a small living area, it's all you'll ever need.

Put me down as another Miele fanboy, both vacuums and other products.
