How about that new Dyson Digital Slim model? I know it is a cheaper model. I just need a light, cheaper one. More on reddit.com

Please avoid all Shark vacuums, they break more often, they are unrepairable, and their warranties exclude most of the parts. Dysons are above average for performance but they are more expensive and sell features that are flashy but don't improve cleaning ability. Example the laser sounds cool but an led headlight would work on both hard floors and carpets. Always look for removable and replaceable batteries because they all wear out in 2-5 years. Look for replacement parts, some of the Amazon brands have no replacements whatsoever. Among cordless stick vacuums I like the LG CordZero series and the Samsung Jet 75 and Jet 90. I don't recommend the dual brushroll versions as they add complexity, lack suction to the soft brushroll, and have a higher failure rate. If you have all or mostly carpets a cordless upright vacuum would be better such as the Hoover Onepwr Hepa Bagged/Oreck Hepa Cordless, Simplicity Freedom/Riccar Supralite, and Karcher Sensor BP 12.
