Reviews of Cordless Stick Vacuums?

I'm looking for an easier way to clean my laminate wood floors. It's tiring bending over sweeping pet hairs, dust, and crumbs and collecting them in a dust pan. This is my first house with this type floor and it shows ever hair, crumb, and blade of grass walked in. I'm wanting a cordless, but some of the reviews on some of them say the battery only lasts 15 or 20 minutes.

I'm 72 so it must be lighter than most vacuum cleaners. Please tell me about one you have; how long can you vacuum with it before recharging. Also do you vacuum area rugs with it? Your likes and dislikes please.
