I've been looking for a reliable battery-powered vacuum cleaner.

Reliable batteries, easy to find replacements.

Easy to clean!
The obvious: Good vacuum, efficiency

I had a Delonghi that would trap dirt inside the badly designed
internal parts. Horrible to clean.

Some that come to mind:
Black and Decker Dustbuster:

Dirt Devil:

Can any of those knowledgable about these things please help to tip
the scales?

I used to use the older style DustBusters. I stopped using them because I
could always smell the dust that would blow out of the side vents. I can't
actually confirm that dust came out, but it seemed to me that if I smelled
it, it must be blowing out. It would gross me out if a family member used
it to clean crumbs off of a table or counter. It always seemed to me
(because of the smell) that the device was picking up the crumbs but laying
dust down on everything around it.

My wife bought a Shark mini-electric vacuum a few years back. It was a
piece of crap in so many ways that it sat in a closet for a year before I
finally threw it out. I can't speak to their handhelds, but if the electric
mini is any indication of the Shark brand quality, I'd stay away from it.

That sucks! Umm maybe not? I'm not to sure about Bissel stuff either. I
let the wife buy what she wants because I don't wanna do it...

My go-to vacuum for small jobs is this one:

I had one of the original Electrolux Mighty Mites for over 20 years. It was
physically beat up but still worked great. I gave it to my son 5 years ago
and bought the new one. He still uses the old one for his car, stairs, etc.

Well it isn't battery powered but to really do the job one needs some
horsepower. So you are saying the Electrolux stuff is still alright Derby?
Wonder whom owns them now?
