I have the same take. I had a cordless Dyson that worked okay, but I would spend a lot of time cleaning the rotating brush and crap getting stuck in the small inlet (which probably had to be small in order to get good suction with the smaller capacity of the battery-powered motor).

And while it's bagless, with my cats I had to empty the canister a couple of times every time I cleaned the house.

Now the power supply to the rotating brush seems to have died, I'll probably try to fix it eventually but I took the opportunity to buy a good old Henry as a replacement. It's got a huge bag, a huge filter, it's much more powerful and does a great job. Yeah, I have to buy bags, but they're cheap and that's basically the only maintenance I have to worry about.
