This is for one use: Hair on the bathroom floor. 60 seconds every 2 days,
when I don't want to haul out the big canister vac.

It's been a very long time since I've owned one, but for that use, I'd be
tempted to look into a wall-mounted cordless unit. Used to be called
Dustbusters back in the day. I'm usually not a fan of cordless units,
they typically don't have the suction of 110v units. But hair off a tile
floor (I presume it's tile or some hard surface) is an easy pickup. Not a
lot of suction required. I'm thinking that battery technology has
improved greatly since I owned one of those things. For your specific
use, I think I'd go with the convenience of a nearby wall-mounted cordless
rechargeable unit. No messing with cords and potential electrocution
hazards, and no bothersome belts to worry about going up in smoke.


I've had several of those Dustbuster things. I was given one as a gift last
Spring - one of the "improved" Black & Decker things. As with all the
previous ones, the battery died an early death. I won't own them any more.
