Howdy folks

Our Bissell Airram is dying and there is a derth of upright cordless - they're all stick based which is not good for my partner.

Anyone use the Ryobi upright or the Hoover equivalent as the main owner behind hoover also own Ryobi etc.

Saw a recent youtube review of the Ryobi HP stick vs shark and dyson V10 and it came out favourably despite the battery last 6 minutes less (but as the kit comes with 2 and easily available)..

These are really the only upright cordless I can find (apart from the 2nd gen Bissell Airram).

So anyone used one / got one?

So the Bissell did die so took a punt on the Ryobi https://www.ryobi.co.nz/products/stick-vacuum-cleaners/18v-one-hptm-brushless-upright-vacuum-2-x-40ah-kit

Went together well and appears to work really well. Despite the lack of a HEPA filter, there isn't a dust smell when vacuuming that the old bissell gave off and noticeably more powerfull than the Dyson V6 and it actually sucks to the carpet and puts vacuum lines in the carpet! Obviously not as powerful as a corded but it looks ok and works well so far. The batteries take ~2 hours to charge using the included charger but that can be overcome by using better chargers (such as the 4amp dual charger) and longer run time can be done by using HP batteries...

All in all it was a good purchase so far!

We have one of these https://www.ryobi.co.nz/products/stick-vacuum-cleaners/18v-one-hptm-brushless-stick-vacuum-tool-only-0

Goes well and have had no problems with it. I got the tool only because I already have a good supply of batteries.

Before this we had an LG but it was too heavy for SWMBO so we got rid of it, although it did do a good job.

I didn't know until I was looking that the Ryobi are effectively the same as the Hoover as they're owned by the same parent and you seem to trade the home appliance look somewhat but you end up with more stuff... The Ryobi was $40 more than the Hoover but has the additional brush, extra battery and an additional filter where as the Hoover looks nicer, including its battery holder, but thats about it.
