My cordless Dyson experience was pretty bad. It was a fantastic vacuum for about a year with daily usage, then the battery started to go. It would hold a charge for minutes.
Getting a new OEM battery cost as much as buying a brand new cordless from Costco, which is what we had gotten the Dyson in order to stop doing. The non-oem batteries were cheaper up front but only worked long enough to get them out of the return window on Amazon, so it would have been 3 or 4 a year to keep it running. An unreasonable proposition.
In its stead, I've used a Lupe and a Eufy S11. If you've got carpets the Lupe is incredible. I'd put it on par with a high end plug in, and it's priced like it. The original battery is easily user replaceable and it's still working well after almost two years of ownership anyway. The S11 is fine. It doesn't suck as hard as the Dyson did. It also came with two batteries, and while I am seeing runtime degradation after two years, I can still get all my vacuuming done with one charge, after two years.
