Simplicity - Freedom Cordless Upright S10CV

"Good decision cuz the latest cordless models are catching up power wise. But ofc for everyday home use especially with a toddler and a golden retriever, it will be less about wattage and more about how it handles real mess. I’d look at the [Simplicity Cordless]( https://brandbeacondeal.github.io/Afford/?to=best_cordless_vacuum). It’s one of the few cordless uprights that’s bagged and can stand on its own. The brushroll adjusts automatically between carpet and hard floors which is great since you're 50/50 like me. And since it’s a bagged HEPA system, it will actually traps pet fluff and dander. Battery replacements will always be a thing with cordless but unless you're vacuuming for hours a day, this lasts long enough to do a solid clean without stressing. You're also not dealing with the usual stick vac issue where all the weight is in your wrist and you have to lean it against furniture every 5 mins. "

If all you have is hardwood and no carpet, a stick vac will work fine. They are not BIFL machines. And will be replaced regularly. If you want a cordless upright, look for a simplicity freedom cordless. It does okay on hardwood, will handle carpet or rugs and is generally a nice little vac providing you don’t over tax it.

I would counter with the Riccar R10 or Simplicity S10CV as excellent cordless machines at a reasonable price (simplicity).

While Sebo and Miele's are great vacuums, there's no need to spend that much money. Simplicity and Kenmore make really good uprights. That will work on every floor surface and are very durable machines decently priced. Sorry you had to deal with the dyson...

The simplicity or kenmore uprights are pretty good and seem to hold up. Section remains strong even as the bag fills up. Both have attachments that are pretty good
