I agree with you hatsuwr and vgwpg. I much prefer this thread. Absolute rainbow, I think that people should be able to post what they want as long as it is not offensive, rude or inappropriate.
This thread got me thinking - with how some people complain about vacuum tests using unfair 'construction site' test conditions, maybe the tool brand vacuums might not perform as badly as I first assumed. If certain residential vacuums struggle to pick up dry tea leaves, maybe one designed for harsher conditions might actually come out on top in some important metrics. It would be interesting to see one of the good residential vacuum reviewers test out a Makita.
If we're talking specifically cordless vacuums you can't really get much closer to a corded vacuum than the Lindhaus Valzer L-Ion (also sold in red as the Karisma L-Ion). It's a Valzer/Karisma upright but cordless. It uses a DC version of Lindhaus' wonderful M30/PB12e powerhead, it's bagged of course, it has an onboard hose and tools, it's very light, and is rated for up to 60 minutes of run time with its large 36V battery. The biggest downside however is price: retail price is $1,499 so it is quite expensive. But it is IMO probably the best cordless vacuum you can get and the closest to an traditional upright.
While I'm not a fan of Riccar's output these days I do hear good things about the Riccar R10CV. I also really like the Vorwerk VK7 cordless upright system even though it's not available in the U.S, and is also quite expensive as well. The Vorwerk and the Valzer L-Ion are what I would have if I wanted a cordless upright.
Now if I absolutely had to pick a cordless stick machine it's easily the Henry Quick for the simple reason it's bagged. If not the Quick I actually think the Dyson V8 is okay. The one thing I'll readily give Dyson is their attachment ecosystem is quite good.

Believe or not I have a V15 and a V7. I too think they are pretty good. But they aren’t by any means the end all be all. Performance wise (my experience here) in max mode they approach what a good plug in can do, but don’t equal it.
Where I find they suffer versus the good bagged units is the amount of maintenance required, and overall build quality (ruggedness). I’m not worried if I accidentally drop a Sebo, but certainly would be if I dropped a Dyson. Heck, I’ve had to epoxy the V7 frame and it’s never been dropped!
