What "anti-tangle" means here
Makers use different designs: combs or ridges that pull hair off the roller (Dreame R10, Z10 Station), a roller that guides hair into the bin (Levoit), a blade that cuts it (Dreame R20 TangleX), or a brush the maker says prevents or reduces tangles without naming the design (Tineco A30S, Dreame Z20). We count a brush as anti-tangle when the maker says it prevents, combs out or cuts hair tangles. No maker promises that hair never wraps, so expect to clear the roller now and then. Of the 41 cordless stick vacuums we catalogued, 35 have a maker-described anti-tangle brush, and 7 of the 9 under $200 do.
How to pick between these
If you have a heavy shedder or very long hair → the Dreame R20 TangleX is the one maker here that says its brush cuts hair.
If you'd rather not empty the bin → the Dreame Z10 Station is the one here that comes with a self-emptying base.
If you want a spare battery → Dreame (R10, R20 TangleX), Tineco (A30S) and Levoit say the battery comes out.
If you want fewer trips to the trash → the Tineco A30S and Dreame R20 TangleX state a 1 L dust bin and the Levoit VortexIQ 0.85 L; the self-emptying Dreame Z10 Station makes the bin size matter less.
