We need a new cordless for carpet & wood flooring, we have a dog and kids. We would prefer to buy from Costco in case there are issues. It looks like they have a couple of options- what are peoples thoughts on:
Dyson v10
Dyson v15
Bissell power clean
Shark Stratos
Shark power detect
LQ cordzero
Thanks!

Price: Under $400 but tempted by higher-priced things. I'd like to spend as little as possible if there aren't huge differences between features.
Flooring: Wood and tile. No carpet. somewhere between 600-900 sq. ft, I don't remember.
Basically, I know the general consensus is that stick vacuums are garbage and won't last, but I'm looking for one anyway. I know they don't last the longest and aren't the strongest, but I would like a stick vacuum because the stairs & entryway to my apartment don't have any outlets and heavier+corded vacuums are too much to maneuver. I would also really like a vac that is convertible to a hand vac. I want to buy from Costco because of the return policy.
Here's what I have in my Costco cart. Which of the following would you recommend/choose?:
Tineco Pure One X Pet Smart Cordless Stick Vacuum - $149.99Shark Performance UltraLight Corded Stick Vacuum with DuoClean - $199.99 + $9.99 shipping
Shark Cordless Detect Pro Stick Vacuum with Auto-Empty System - $379.99 + $9.99 shipping
Shark Cordless Pro Vacuum with Clean Sense IQ - $279.99 + $4.99 shipping
Shark Stratos Cordless Stick Vacuum with Clean Sense IQ - $279.99
Samsung Bespoke Jet Pet Cordless Stick Vac with Self-Empty All-in-One Clean Station - $479.99
LG CordZero Kompressor Cordless Stick Vacuum - $599.99
(Pretty sure I'm not willing to buy either of the last two, but they are in my cart and I'm willing to hear your arguments)
Extra stuff if you feel like reading it:
I live in a 1bd apartment, currently no pets. I have hardwood floors in my bedroom, living/dining room, hallways and stairs. Tile floor in kitchen, bathroom and entryway. I only have bathmats, no rugs, though I did buy a 4x6 wool one for my living room which I never put down. I have lots of allergies and should probably avoid direct contact with the dust bin as much as possible. I have an air purifier and don't wear shoes in my house but, obviously, things still get dusty and some dirt, especially because the floors are very old and have some gaps in them. I live on a very busy street and do get some street pollution coming inside if I leave the windows open.
I previously had these vacs and returned them when they failed on me:
Shark WV201CO WANDVAC Cordless Handheld Vacuum (purchased 2022, returned in 2023 because it wouldn't turn on anymore)
Shark Duo something or other which is no longer available. (purchased 2022, returned 2024 because it wasn't functioning properly-- would suck things up but nothing would make it into the dustbin)
Thank you.
EDIT: Tineco isn't actually in stock, so it's no longer in my cart.
