Cordless Vacuum Choices

Does anyone have a cordless vacuum cleaner to recommend? I'm guessing many on here will due to health conditions making a conventional one difficult.
As with the mattress thread, I've started looking at these and found an overwhelming amount of choice!
Basically I need something that's light, tall enough to use without bending and doesn't require much effort to push around. Also needs to have decent run time from each charge. And needs to clip down a small unit with tubes and brushes suitable for the car.
I'm not looking for anything super cheap, would rather pay a bit more for something better quality.

My parents have one and it is very good.
You can choose how powerful you want the suction and it lasts anywhere from a few mins (if you use the "super" button that makes it suck really powerfully) to an hour depending on how powerful you set it.
On the bad side, it was quite hefty a price to pay upfront but a wise investment hopefully.

I decided to go for mains powered instead... But needs to be upright, lightweight and useable for the car etc.
Anyone got one of these? Looks like a good spec and a decent price at that offer?

Or this one? Shark Anti Hair Wrap Upright Vacuum Cleaner with Powered Lift-Away and TruePet NZ801UKT - Shark Upright Vacuum Cleaners favorable buying at our shop (sharkclean.co.uk)
Whats the difference between that and the other one at £199?
I think I've worked out the best one for the price is the AZ950UKT. AZ950UKT | Shark Upright Vacuum Cleaner | ao.com
Both of the '900' models come with a larger head which hopefully means quicker cleaning. And the '50' comes with a 1.5 litre collection box rather than the 0.75 litre box on the '10'. I think that's worth the extra £30. (Will also get £16 back from Topcashback). I know the larger capacity will mean it's a little heavier than the cheaper one, but hopefully not by too much. For comparison, my current Henry has a 9 litre bag.
I'll probably buy that one over the weekend, unless anyone can suggest a good reason not to, or a better alternative for the same price.

I've seen Vax make the lightest corded upright at 5KG (compared to 6.6Kg for the Henry, and 7.6Kg for the large capacity Shark!) but have no idea what they're like...reviews appear good but I'm sceptical at that price?
Vax Air Stretch Pet Max Vacuum Cleaner U85-AS-Pme
I've had one of the Vax air, which is light but bending down to move the hose can be an issue for some. I believe all vax uprights are the same. Good suction on it though.
Its suction is great has a boost option but I've never had to use it
It's so much more convenient for me to just use as a hand held for spills etc and the easiest thing in the world to empty...I empty it after each use so capacity isn't an issue, just hold it over the bin and pull the lever...obviously in an ideal world you could try each one out but I really love my Dyson!

Tho it says sale ended last month, it's still advertised. It weighs 3.9 kg (mine is 4.3 kg but find it easy to use)
Did want one but was told it was bad for laminate and would make it warp or swell.
@chiarieds no thsts fine I brought the steam mop purposely for my laminate as mopping wasn't helping it and the steam mop is alot better for me as I have a left sided weakness but as you said I checked first I have used a steam mop on my floors for about five years
Yay! I'm going to get me one now, no more mop buckets lol
Alot easier I think 🤔
