Cordless vacuum cleaners

Posting here for traffic, and sorry it's a bit dull!

I'm looking for a cordless vacuum cleaner. Would rather avoid ugly bright-coloured plastic-y ones like Dyson, and do not want one with a face, like the Henry ones. Are there any more tasteful ones about?

I have a Miele one which I love. It's not a good as my corded Miele (and I didn't expect to be) but it's so much easier for keeping on top of stuff.

I have had a G tech for 10 years it is starting to go now so will buy a new/latest version. It is lightweight and not intrusive.

I also have the handheld.

Love my G tech so much so handy to get out and give a quick clean. Really lightweight but powerful too

I've just recently got a Shark when Henry became too heavy and cumbersome.
I really like it but can't remember what model it is.

Thank you all! I'll have a look.

Well I was disappointed in the Shark. It was one of those non tangle animal ones (even though I don't have pets lol). It worked fine, don't get me wrong, but the battery died after a year (maybe that's usual I don't know), but minging that I am and living alone I only used it once or twice a week. Trying to get a replacement battery took out my will to live, and forums suggested that it was better to replace the thing.

So I bought a cheap AkitasV8 on Amazon, and it is now two years old and is every bit as good as the Shark IMO. Cost £90. I will buy another if it goes south on me.

I think they are all made from the same template, probably 3D printed.
