I have this issue with plastic and aluminum, but not stainless steel (as long as I only ever use the vessel for water).

Use an insulated glass water bottle.

The only other material option would be glass. As long as you don't drop it, it'd be considered bifl. Many have soft rubber on the outside to help protect from damage.

A lot of the guys I work with wear SAS and they are good quality shoes. But they are still replacing them every 6 to 8 months and at $200+ a pair I just can't wrap my head around that. That's the same lifespan I got out of my Merrell's for $100 more.

Have a Dyson V8 Absolute for 5 years now. As long as you rinse the filters under the sink it works as good as the day we bought it.

I’ve heard great things about SAS (San Antonio Shoes), pricey but excellent quality

We’ve had the Dyson Animal V8 for 6 years with no issue. But, I wouldn’t say any cordless is buy for life.

Did I make a post here asking anyone for feedback on my assistance? Did you provide OP any assistance? Stop being the white knight of the internet and help OP.

Can confirm, we have a ryobi handheld vac and its convenient having that in the same battery ecosystem as our tools.

Is there an issue with acidic foods like pasta sauce?

Hey, no matter how you frame it, there’s an easy way to not be a twat when answering someone’s well intentioned question. Just don’t be a twat.

My husband is a chef who swears by Chrome. His boots have taken a lot of abuse in three years now and still look like the day he bought them.

It'll come out looking all black and you'll have to wash/wipe all the oxidation off. It is really annoying having to clean them a second time too and it turns your hands black. Can start pitting if you keep doing it, but once or twice will just leave it matte grey but functional.

Depends how much you like the pattern. Some of ours have faded a bit but it doesn't impact their usability.

Sanita official website, I got the tokidoki collab for $70 something. They have an outlet site on there too.

Bought a refurbished Dyson from their website at a significant discount and the vacuum looked perfectly clean and brand new. Also came with a warranty.

If there is ever a fire at my house I am grabbing my wallet and this appliance when I leave.

Dyson cordless v10 and newer seems good. Got it when it first came out in 2018, I use it every day ( hardwood floors and lots of cat fur) and it's still going strong ( batteries didn't lose any power, runs like 50 min on low)

Got a buddy that got the V8 and it seems they have different battery types, since his losses power.

One thing to note, I got the corded Dyson dc23 like 15y ago, still works, and the cordless one cannot compare with it even in max power.

And I paid 750$ for it, because I purchased like 10 vacuums before, and they were all very very crappy, but after I pulled the trigger on a Dyson, I never regretted it. ( For sure they got better with time, but at the time Dyson was the best, and seems to still be up there with the best after so many years)

I asked a similar question awhile ago, and someone pointed out that most of the small tool makers who use rechargeable batteries for their line of tools also sell cordless vacs. So, if you're already using one manufacturer's cordless drill/yard tools/etc, look into their cordless vac as well.

You are asking an ignorant question which will lead you down the wrong path. And I'm using ignorant dictionarily, so don't get butthurt.

1. You purchase vacuums based on use case. Your small carpeted needs differ from your small tile needs. Notice there is no mention of battery here?
2. Best. Cordless vacuums are the worst vacuums compared to corded ones, so asking for the best is asking for the best of the worst.
3. Best. We have no idea what this means. Best battery life. Best suction. Best to empty. Best capacity. There are many bests.
4. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QwtEU6OEdOU and the other videos are the source for "best" as this sub is about lifespan. Cordless vacuums are relatively new, so there is no frontline winner regarding lifespan that is spoken of on this sub with any degree of consensus.

I settled on Tineco after much research. It was less expensive than Dyson and had better reviews. Don’t go by brand name; check reviews for the specific model that you want.

Many if not most cordless vacuums at this point have removable batteries, the bigger concern would be whether the company is still making the same style of battery when it eventually dies. A lot of power tool companies are now making vacuums that use their existing lineup of batteries pretty much guaranteeing that there will be spare batteries to be had for years. The downside is that power tool companies are typically not as good as vacuum companies at making vacuums, but there are some decent offerings out there.

Overall I think you get a way better value in terms of performance and cost with corded vacuums and especially tools, but for many people (myself included) the convenience of cordless tools makes it way easier to get chores done. My corded leaf blower is a much better tool than my cordless one, but I blow the leaves off my deck much more regularly now because there's no setup time with the cordless

Which popular brands would those be?

Batteries die and I hate that also but a bunch of them are easily replaced.

I pulled a Dyson V6 from the trash and put a new battery in it from ifixit. Works fine and gets heavy use. It is designed to be replaced easily with maybe two screws, so no appliance tech required.

I would not buy a Dyson cordless new, or maybe even used. But I am happy with the one I have.
