I have a similar designed upright vacuum like the bissell, but it is cordless and it did not have the best filtration. I ended up getting a [Ryobi 18v](https://www.bunnings.co.nz/ryobi-18v-one-hp-stick-vacuum-tool-only_p0657566) one as I can just swap the battery (but not integrated dock for charging). I have a Hoover Allergy 7011PH for deeper cleaning but sometimes, its great but I can't be arsed dragging the cord around.
[stick vacuum](http://ONE+ HP 18V Cordless Pet Stick Vacuum Cleaner Kit with 4.0 Ah HIGH PERFORMANCE Battery and Charger https://share.google/7ld7OfDJhDu4i6VoX)I bought this one. It came with the battery and charger. I have Ryobi shop vacs so I have several batteries.
I really like almost all Ryobi stuff but was disappointed with the leaf blower I bought.
Like a few people have said here, Dyson really isn't what it was! Ours died a year or so ago, and we replaced it with a Ryobi stick vac.
You would think I am getting a commission with the way I go on about this vacuum to people!
When we got it, I vacuumed the same carpet that I had been doing regularly with the old vac, and got two full tanks of dust out of it. It's crazy powerful, rolls around beautifully, and is just sensibly made. Little things, like you can pop out the rollers to get hair out of them, and you can clean the filter with no hassle. It just feels really well made. In retrospect, it makes sense that a tool company would make a good vacuum cleaner.
The biggest win though is that the batteries are separate, you click them in and out like in Ryobi tools. The thing that tends to die in stick vacs (in my experience anyway) is the batteries - so the ability to just get new ones, I'm hoping, will extend the life of it.
We've had it for about a year now, and had no issues with it. Can't see it dying anytime soon. I will say it is heavier than the Dyson was, but it's not been a problem. It rolls smoothly, and it can stand up on it's own, so I only notice the weight when I am taking it up the stairs!
