A friend of mine who is not very strong swears by a Bosch Athlet model she got from Costco for about £160. It's a battery upright that's relatively light, runs for quite a long time on a charge

My mother got one for Christmas (12 months ago) and it really sucks!
It's only been used a few times and probably will be discarded soon as
not fit for purpose. It doesn't seem to "glide" on fairly deep pile
carpeted surfaces making it relatively hard work for my aged mother
compared with a cheap and nasty corded small vacuum cleaner (the ones
that have a 1.3KW motor but most of the power goes in generating heat).

and apparently has the Which? seal of approval.

Possibly not tested against the criteria on easy to use by those who now
have some form of physical impairment
