We, her indoors and myself, are considering cordless vacuums. there

We have a small hand-held Dyson DC31 Animal. SWMBO swears by it.

We have a DC35. Excellent. It means stuff gets cleaned that would
otherwise not be.

We have a DC59, it is indeed excellent. It gets lots of use. Great for a
quick hoovering up of stuff and for doing just a bit of the house to
save getting the mains vacuum out, for doing sofas say, whilst hoovering
the carpets with the mains one, for the car.

I like that it can be easily used as a handheld one, or with the
extension tube more like an upright.

Q for the OP. Are you looking for a replacement for an upright cleaner,
or more of a handheld one
A replacement for our mains one.

We have a DC59. SWMBO likes it because it is light to use. It gets much
more use than the ball Dyson that we bought before.

Depending on the situation, much as I like ours and use it a lot, I
think the DC59 could struggle as a mains replacement (not so much
because of performance, but because of the runtime.).. It wouldn't be
much cop here as the house is too big and gets to messy with pets, kids,
in and our of the garden, crafting etc. - I use it here to do the odd
room, the stairs and odd bits of cleaning - but it wouldn't do all of
our downstairs but I can see in a small house or flat, it might be ok

I'd look at the ones designed more as an upright one maybe, they might
have more runtime?
