It's your own bloody fault.
Rechargeable battery vacuum cleaners are much lighter than corded ones. Depending on your back they might work well for you.

I've played with GTech brand, not sure if you can get them in the us. They look like toys when compared to a Dyson, but I think they work just fine. Cheaper and lighter.

Update: After testing an absurdly light cordless vac with my parents, it looks like those should be possible.

How effective they are at, y'know, cleaning is a whole separate issue but! No Roomba needed, tho other techie ideas would be welcome. This thread has already been very helpful.

The trick is to clean frequently: running it around once a week is quick and simple

Don't be a stereotypical goon and only do the vacuuming when your floor has so many dropped cheetos on it that it makes a crunching sound when you walk on it.
