community to request consumer goods advice? (lemmy.sdf.org)

Is there a good community to request advice on consumer goods? I'm in the market for a new vacuum cleaner. I'm also in the USA.

The old one is a 20-year-old Dyson and it's fine, just a tad loud and the plug gets warmer than I'd like. Good suckage.

I'm distrustful of online review sites because they all sound like paid vacuum cleaner salesfolk.

Thanks, that makes sense. What we might settle on is a lighter one for doing stairs and the upstairs, and the older, heavy one for downstairs (20 lbs is a tad unwieldy and makes me yearn for a whole house vacuum system). I've found a vacuum repair place nearby with good reviews, so I can take the older one in for service.
