A couple weeks ago my family bought a new sweeper (what most call a vacuum cleaner) off Amazon. This is a battery powered upright which comes with two batteries,
each of which get around 25 minutes run time (though I clocked one of ours and it was 30 minutes just about on the dot)! A friend got one shortly before
my family bought ours, and my whole family, plus this friend, absolutely love them!
Ours came from:

the price seems to have come down a little since then. At the time of this writing, it is 238 dollars. We had trouble with our first one, but I asked their
twitter account

about the problem and, after a couple of questions like “are the electric contacts discolored?” they asked me to send a picture of the MFG code on the
back of it. This I did, with sighted assistance (remember I’m blind), and next morning I had an email informing me that I was being shipped a new one.
They asked that we snip the cord that goes to the brush roll and send them a picture of that so they would have proof that it was disabled. Now that, I
call pretty good customer service! Didn’t even ask us to send the old one back.
The friend I earlier mentioned and I recently did a podcast on it. If you want to listen, you can find that at
