A30S Cordless Stick Vacuum Cleaner

I've had good luck with Tineco. My Tineco A11 lasted me 4 years so far. I just got a Tineco A30S 1 month ago and so far it's working well for me, they stop making the batteries swappable but at least the battery life is okay.

Tineco is the top *budget* pick. The top pick is Dyson v12 with two other brands above the budget pick. I mean I have a Tineco too, but it’s nowhere near a Dyson. 

This is the budget wirecutter recommendation: https://www.walmart.com/ip/6195650771?sid=c3c8e6d3-ba29-4cae-a4a5-5ade4c99ca08

Probably not a popular brand on this sub for inexplicable reasons, but I highly recommend Tineco — look at the A30S — for your application.

Get the Tineco products. I have the stick vac, the floor mop and the wet dry spot vac. All of these have performed without issue for years for us vs the dyson stick and we went through 3 of the Bissell spot cleaners (pet and auto ones). Best part is all 3 of these cost the same as one Dyson

We use a Tineco stick vacuum and love it! 10/10 would recommend!

I just used my 18 month old tinneco battery stick vacuum that’s cleaned somewhere around 800,000 square feet of hard wood with 5 days and 3 kids. For the second time today. Battery didn’t die, canister didn’t get full. I put it back on the base and it emptied the canister, cleaned the filters and the beater. Pretty convenient.

Yes, as it looks like you are referring to stick vacuums. I got a refurbished V8 about 12 years ago. The battery started to crap out after five years, so I got a Tineco. I moved the Dyson to my second floor for quick jobs and kept the Tineco on the main floor for daily work (between wood kitchen floor, rugs and carpeted living/dining room). Then I realized I could replace the V8 battery. It came back to life and I was reminded how well it worked. I had to replace the Tineco battery after one year and then when it was dying again the second year, I gave up on it and got a new Dyson V15. It is awesome and worth every expensive penny. I have a Sebo canister vacuum as a "deep clean", but I have been underwhelmed with it. My two Dyson sticks do a great job and I vacuum pretty much everyday. I spent $200 on the Tineco that lasted two years and I hated it. I spent $200 on my 12yo V8 and replaced the battery once. I spent $700 on my new V15 and plan to have it last just as long as my V8 (which is still going strong). (Oh, I also should mention I don't have pets, but I have long hair and so does my daughter. The V15 is noticeably great at staying unclogged with wrapped up hair.)
