Cordless stick vacuums
Decide three things first: whether you want a base that empties the dust bin for you, how long one charge needs to last, and the most you want to spend (by the price on the maker's own store). Then choose extras: a floor brush that resists hair tangles if you have pets or long hair, and a battery you can take out if you want to charge it separately or add a spare.
Each list states its selection criteria, and every pick is checked against its maker's page.
