To ask for vacuum recommendations

We’ve been using a Dyson V6 Animal but I’ve been deeply unimpressed with it - battery life is crap, suction is rubbish, hate having to use my hands to clear out the bin. I love how handy and compact it is and if I could I’d keep it as a secondary hoover but I just don’t have the space.

I need to replace it with a new one and have no idea where to start. I think I want a MIele as it’s what I’ve always used but I’m sure there’s lots out there that are as good or better.

For context we have a 2 bed cottage - on a busy road so v dusty, cobwebby, lots of nooks and crannies. Stairs straight off front door so they need cleaning a few times a week - this was always where the Dyson came into its own! We have a toddler so am constantly hoovering up spills and crumbs.

Please throw some hoover recommendations my way!

Yes, Henry is bloody massive, heavy and annoying to store, but it is indestructible and I wouldn't have anything else. My DH uses a Henry in his workshop and it gets a hell of a lot of abuse but never breaks down or gets blocked (unlike the shitty dyson we now have in the office which struggles to suck up dead leaves and cuts out after 10 minutes of use).
