I'm very happy with my Wertheim stick vac, way more than I was with the Dyson I had before. It used to give me strong static electric shocks whenever I used it. The Wertheim actually has some metal studs on the handle supposedly to help with grounding. No idea if that is why, but it has never shocked me, not once. Plus you can actually remove the dust container if you want, you don't have to take the whole handheld unit to the bin. Oh and the trigger is a toggle, not hold to vacuum.
It is battery powered, but it came with two batteries and a free standing stand that charges the spare when the vacuum is undocked or fully charged, so if I ever ran out of battery (never happened), I could just swap the spare in. Plus I guess if the battery degrades, I can get a replacement probably.
I have a Shark Duo clean with a battery setup like this. I was able to buy a 3rd battery from some other manufacturer. Its great never having to worry about running out of juice.
