Vacuuming isn't easy, especially when you have to lug the traditional corded vacuum between outlets -- making it even harder than it has to be. Cordless stick vacuums, on the other hand, are lightweight and maneuverable -- without sacrificing the cleaning power of a corded model. Once you make the switch to cordless, it'll be hard to believe how you ever managed to get by without one. To help you find the best cordless vacuum for your needs and your budget, we've tested out 10 leading models from top brands including Dyson, Shark, Tineco, LG and Bissell. You can see our favorites of the bunch below.
Designed for both carpet and hardwood floors, these lightweight vacuums are easy to maneuver over various surfaces. They offer all the convenience of a handheld vacuum while maintaining the cleaning ability and powerful suction of a corded vacuum. The best cordless vacuums are also versatile: Most can handle different types of flooring, from a hardwood floor to a thick carpet, from a bare floor of linoleum to tile, both because they're easy to maneuver and because of their suction power.
When we tested vacuum cleaners, we put them through a rigorous series of floor-care tests on hardwood floor and other bare floor types, carpet and other surfaces. The process took over 150 hours to complete. It also consumed many pounds of sand and rice, plus hundreds of handfuls of pet hair. Based on that, we've determined that the products in this roundup are our picks for the best cordless vacuum for 2023. Keep checking back, because we update this best cordless vacuum list periodically.
Best cordless vacuums of 2023
How we test cordless stick vacuums
Putting cordless vacuums through their paces isn't as complicated as testing a robot vacuum cleaner, but it still takes lots of time and careful effort to find the best cordless vacuum.
We hauled in 10 of the latest models from leading vacuum brands with high user ratings and reviews, and ran them through a series of tests designed to measure overall proficiency. We also tested cordless vacuums in a range of prices to see how much of a difference you can expect when you opt for a pricier model over a budget pick.
Testing cordless vacuums on different flooring
We run each vacuum in a straight line across three different surfaces (hardwood, low-pile carpet and midpile carpet). On all three test beds, the test area is 30.25 inches long.
The width of the test bed is proportional to the vacuum's nozzle width. We measure this width ourselves. We also use nozzle width, plus the flooring type, to calculate the soil density for each test, per International Electrotechnical Commission guidelines. The IEC is a global standards body responsible for managing testing procedures, among other things, for vacuum manufacturers.
Enlarge ImageWe test vacuums on three types of floor surfaces.
Testing the cleaning ability of each cordless vacuum
We use three types of soil. To simulate small particle size, we use a mix of play sand and landscaping sand. To emulate larger dirt particles, we use uncooked black rice. To see how vacuums deal with pet hair, we use our mixture of clippings sourced to us through our local pet groomer.
We run tests in a straight line across all three floor types.
Brian Bennett/CNETWe perform three runs (at minimum) on each floor type. We also test suction power with sand and rice separately. That comes to at least 18 tests per vacuum. We weigh the vacuum's dust bin both before and after each run.

When choosing the best vacuums in various categories we considered other factors associated with each.
We noted any vacuums with especially short battery life or a particularly heavy weight that might make them a less desirable option.
Cordless vacuum battery life and runtime
Most of the vacuums on our list feature a runtime of 40 minutes before needing another charge. The Dyson V15 was the exception with a full 60 minutes of runtime. In truth, it's a rare occasion that one would need more than 40 minutes of runtime for a single vacuuming session. Because of this, battery life was not weighted as heavily as other features.
Cordless vacuum weight, size and bin capacity
All of the cordless vacuums were between 4 and 6 pounds, but none were so heavy that it affected our recommendation. All of the vacuums on this list were also very similar in height and overall size. The Dyson models are both roughly 49 inches while the Tineco A11 is shorter at just 43 inches tall.
The Dysons and Tineco all have bin volumes of about 0.6 liters. Our budget pick, the Moosoo XL-618A, has double that capacity (1.
3 liters) so you'll need to empty the bin less often.
Cordless vacuum warranties
The standard warranty for cordless vacuums is a two-year limited warranty and each vacuum on this list meets that standard. In general, you should expect your cordless vacuum to last longer than two years but it's nice to have a backup plan in case something breaks within that time frame.
Other cordless vacuums we tested that didn't make the cut
Here's a list of the other cordless stick vacuums we tested besides the models we've recommended above.

- Hoover Linx
- Bissell Iconpet

Cordless vacuum FAQs
Which cordless vacuum has the most suction power?
Right now, based on our tests, the cordless vacuum with the best suction power is the Dyson V15 Detect. It removed the most sand, rice and pet hair out of all the stick vac cleaners we've evaluated so far. And it did so across multiple floor types.
Are pricey Dyson vacuums worth the money?
One company, in particular, saw this cordless trend coming. British company Dyson was the first to pioneer this field with a series of capable -- yet pricey -- Cyclone V series stick vacs designed with impressive suction and cleaning power to leave the competition in the dust. Rivals have since followed suit and now sell cordless vacuums of their own. Some manufacturers of cordless vacuum cleaners have even shamelessly cloned Dyson products. Others are distinctive new riffs on the cordless vacuum, with innovative dust-busting features all their own.
Despite the many knockoffs, Dyson vacs still perform at a higher level than other brands, in our experience. Perhaps it's the head start it's had in refining these smaller machines or the extensive research and development that goes into making them.
Dysons are pricey, but worth the money if you have it to spend. If not, there are plenty of cheaper cordless vacuums that will do the job and keep your home clean.
How long should a cordless vacuum last?
Each of the cordless vacuums on our list includes a two-year limited warranty but a quality model should last you significantly longer than that. That said, cordless vacuums do take a beating and you shouldn't expect any model to last much longer than five years if used regularly. This is certainly something to consider when selecting a model.
Having your vacuum serviced after the warranty has expired may not also be worth the money, depending on the particular issue. To suss out any potential lemons, we dig through buyer reviews on multiple retailers to see if any vacuum brands or models have consistent breakage issues, either with the motor or external parts.
Why you should trust us
Our team of CNET experts, editors and lab technicians has been testing vacuums in a smart home and testing warehouse located in Louisville, Kentucky, for over 10 years. In that time, we've refined our testing methods and assessments in a controlled environment to measure the proficiency of robot vacuums, full-sized models and cordless stick vacuums alike.

A good cordless vacuum is a helpful addition to any household cleaning arsenal.
When you don't need to worry about staying in range of an outlet, it's easy to clean small, out-of-the-way areas not only inside your home but also in tighter spaces like car interiors. You also don't have to worry about a power cord getting snagged on a piece of furniture and bringing a frustrating pause to your cleaning session. However, despite recent strides in extending overall battery life, a cordless vacuum still can't offer the worry-free indefinite runtime of a corded vacuum. For many, however, this trade-off is worth the near-infinite range that these appliances have.
We've tested over 130 vacuum cleaners, and below are our recommendations for the best cordless vacuum cleaners to buy. We selected these picks based on their performance on different surface types and their feature set, battery life, and price. For more options, look at our lists of the best vacuums, our best cordless stick vacuums, and the best vacuums for high-pile carpet.

The Dyson V15 Detect is the best cordless vacuum we've tested.
This cordless stick vacuum can easily handle pet hair as well as solid debris on both low- and high-pile carpets. The combination of its powerful motor and the tight seal that its multi-surface floorhead can generate causes it to drag around some lighter rugs. It can automatically adjust its suction power depending on the surfaces you're cleaning. There's also an onboard dirt sensor that counts and measures debris being sucked into the vacuum, meaning you can keep tabs on allergen concentration in your home. It has many attachments, like a miniature turbo brush, a combination upholstery tool/soft bristle brush, and even a secondary floorhead with a laser light to help you see fine debris on bare floors.If you're looking for a better-built alternative, the Samsung Bespoke Jet is worth a look. This premium stick vacuum comes with a standup charging dock that doubles as a self-emptying base station; when docked, debris from the vacuum's dustbin is sucked into a dirtbag inside the base station, so you don't need to worry about creating a plume of dust when emptying it.
However, its dual brushroll floorhead makes it harder to maneuver in tight spots and lacks the Dyson vacuum's self-adjusting suction power capability.See our review

If you're shopping at an upper mid-range price point, the Miele Triflex HX1 is among the best cordless vacuums we've tested.
This uniquely-designed cordless vacuum can be used as a stick, upright, or handheld vacuum, letting you quickly adapt to several different cleaning situations on the fly. It also feels well-built for a vacuum of this type, with a body made mainly from high-grade plastic. Unfortunately, it has a much smaller dirt compartment than the Dyson V15 Detect, and its max battery life of a little over 30 minutes doesn't give you nearly as much time to clean. If you're looking for a similarly-priced alternative with better battery performance, the Dyson V12 Detect Slim is a solid alternative, albeit with an even smaller dustbin.Performance on bare surfaces is exceptional, and the vacuum does a good job of clearing away debris on carpeted floors without getting bogged down in plush rugs. Its surface detection system lets it adapt to the surface type that you're on, and it can even stop its brushroll automatically if it gets tangled in something.

The Samsung Jet 75 is a great option if you're looking at the affordable end of the scale.
It feels a little less sturdy than the Miele Triflex HX1, but it does offer quite a bit of bang for the buck. Its 200AW suction motor is very powerful for a cordless vacuum in this price range, enabling it to easily clear away small and heavy debris on a range of surface types. Most variants of this vacuum come with two batteries, each of which can provide over an hour of use, making it a much better fit for longer cleaning sessions than the Miele. Its five-stage filtration system is also highly effective in sealing allergens.It's also fully compatible with a self-emptying base station, which reduces hands-on maintenance requirements since you won't have to empty its dustbin yourself. That said, this accessory is somewhat expensive, and buying it with the vacuum does push it into a higher price bracket. It also lacks an automatic surface detection system, and if that's a feature you're looking for in a cordless vacuum, check out the Tineco PURE ONE S11. However, the Tineco falls short of the Samsung in debris pickup performance and feels flimsier.

The best budget cordless vacuum we've tested is the Wyze Cordless Vacuum. While it feels considerably less durable than the Samsung Jet 75 and falls short in raw suction power, it's cheaper and still delivers strong overall debris pickup.
It performs impressively well on carpets, is highly effective in dealing with pet hair, and does a good job on bare floors, though bulky material can get stuck at the entry to its dustbin. Unlike many other budget-friendly vacuums, it has a HEPA filter to trap fine particles as you clean, which is great if you suffer from allergies. It supplies a maximum of one hour of runtime in its most energy-efficient 'ECO' mode, though its runtime drops to a little over 10 minutes if you run it in its high-power 'TURBO' mode.If you're looking for a budget-friendly cordless vacuum that struggles less with bulky debris, you could consider the Tineco PURE ONE X, which has a longer battery life and charges much faster. However, it doesn't perform as well on carpeted floors and has a smaller dustbin. If you prioritize build quality, the Samsung Jet 60 is another solid option, but it has a shorter battery life.

If you value the dirt compartment capacity that comes with an upright vacuum but still want to stay cordless, the Shark Vertex Pro Powered Lift-Away is a very good option.
Compared to a similarly-priced cordless stick vacuum like the Samsung Jet 75, it exchanges maneuverability for a larger internal dustbin that won't need emptying as often. Besides, it's still more maneuverable and easier to store than the average corded upright. Like most of Shark's upright vacuums, its 'Lift-Away' design enables you to pick up and carry its canister body separately from its floorhead, making it easier to clean hard-to-reach areas like on top of shelves or behind couches and chairs. It has a solid range of attachments, like an upholstery tool that's remarkably well-suited for dealing with pet hair on fabric surfaces and a fine-bristle dusting brush for cleaning delicate surfaces.Performance is strong across the board, with no significant loss in capability as its dustbin fills up. Unfortunately, while it does offer two different levels of surface adjustment, these settings only affect the speed of its brushrolls, not their height, so the vacuum can sometimes get stuck on dense shag-pile carpeting.
Need to go even lighter? The Hoover ONEPWR Evolve Pet is another cordless upright worth considering. However, it feels considerably less robust and offers terrible air filtration performance.See our review
Notable Mentions
- Shark Vertex Pro Lightweight: The Shark Vertex Pro Lightweight is a cordless stick vacuum that represents a good alternative to the Miele Triflex HX1, thanks to its long battery life and flexible wand. However, it's notably heavier and doesn't perform as well on carpets. See our review
- JASHEN V16: The JASHEN V16 is a relatively affordable cordless stick vacuum with two swappable brushrolls: one for bare floors and one for carpets. Unfortunately, compared to the similarly-priced Wyze Cordless Vacuum, it struggles with bulky debris like cereal, which can clog the entry to its dirt compartment.
See our review - Samsung Jet 90 Complete: The Samsung Jet 90 Complete is a great alternative to the Dyson V15 Detect if you're looking for a slightly larger dirt compartment and broadly similar overall performance. It lacks the Dyson vacuum's dirt sensor and automatic power adjustment capability. See our review
- Samsung Jet 70: The Samsung Jet 70 has a lot in common with the cheaper Samsung Jet 60, as it uses the same 150AW motor and 1800 mAh battery but comes bundled with a more effective multi-surface floorhead. However, it has a less powerful motor than the only slightly pricier Samsung Jet 75, and it uses lower-capacity batteries, resulting in a shorter runtime. See our review

The idea of automating home cleaning arose in the 19th century: it was then that the first prototypes of modern upright vacuum cleaners appeared. D. Hess (USA) is considered the inventor of the device: he proposed to equip a familiar brush with a complex system of bellows to create an air flow. In history, there were cleaners with a fan, the effect of static electricity was applied, and they also tried to use a gasoline engine.
There were several dozen different types of upgrades. nine0003

REDMOND RV-UR375 (Cordless Upright)
REDMOND RV-UR375. Photo: multivarka.proRV-UR375 is a vertical cordless vacuum cleaner from REDMOND. It works on a single battery charge for up to 75 minutes, making it an excellent choice not only for efficient cleaning in spacious living areas, but also for cleaning car interiors.
The machine comes with a solid set:
- turbo brush with replaceable rollers
- 2 in 1 brush head
- furniture attachment
- crevice nozzle
- flexible hose
The RV-UR375 is therefore ideal for cleaning floors, walls and carpets, home textiles and furniture, car interiors and trunks.
A narrow crevice nozzle will allow you to remove dust in hard-to-reach places - behind furniture, in corners, on mezzanines, stairs, cornices, high shelves. The flexible hose makes cleaning easier as the user controls the hose and not the main unit. The backlight on the turbo brush makes it easier to clean dark places.
Brushless motor provides stable suction power no matter how full the dust bag is. The maximum suction power is 140 W; for comfortable work, you can choose one of three powers or automatic mode (the device independently determines the degree of contamination and the corresponding suction power). The vacuum cleaner is also equipped with a debris detection sensor, thanks to which the suction power is increased if large particles enter the hose. nine0003
Garbage is collected in a container, and the exhaust air is cleaned with a HEPA h23 filter, which traps up to 99.95% of dust particles and allergens. The LCD display shows the battery level, current power, the fullness of the dust container, indicates an installation error or lack of filters, and turbo brush blocking.
The vacuum cleaner does not take up much space in the room, as it is attached to the wall docking station. When you place the device on it, the charging process starts automatically, and on it there is a place to store interchangeable nozzles. Manufacturer's warranty for 12 months. nine0003

How to choose an upright vacuum cleaner
Komsomolskaya Pravda was helped by Maxim Sokolov, an expert at the online hypermarket VseInstrumenty.ru, to understand the peculiarities of choosing upright vacuum cleaners.
Unlike a conventional vacuum cleaner, which lies in the pantry with a coiled hose on a massive body, the vertical model is compact and can be mounted on the wall so that it is easy to reach by hand.
Often it becomes an addition to the main vacuum cleaner, but in small apartments it can be the main cleaning tool. nine0003
Frequently Asked Questions
How is an upright vacuum cleaner different from a regular vacuum cleaner?
The main difference is that the motor, dust collector and brush are mounted on the same rod. The device has a one-piece design, and you do not need to move the container along the floor. The minimum distance between the motor and the working part ensures excellent suction power. To hold the vacuum cleaner in the upper part of the structure there is a closed comfortable handle.
What are upright vacuum cleaners? nine0003
According to the type of power supply, networked and battery models are distinguished. The former are great for long-term cleaning, when you need to work an hour or more. A cordless vacuum cleaner is great for picking up trash quickly and keeping it clean every day. It provides complete freedom of movement, and the battery charge is enough to work for 30-40 minutes.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of upright vacuum cleaners?
The advantages of upright vacuum cleaners include: compact design, maneuverability during operation, excellent combination of weight and performance, effective cleaning in a small area, minimum storage space. But at the same time they are not suitable for large houses and hotels, and are also inconvenient when working on stairs. nine0003
What to look for when choosing an upright vacuum cleaner?
Pay attention to the suction power. This is what determines the effectiveness of garbage collection. The value for different models can be from 30 to 400 watts. Powerful vacuum cleaners are able to quickly remove large and heavy debris, such as cereals or cat litter.
Observe the air flow. This setting affects performance. For productive cleaning, it is recommended to choose a vacuum cleaner with an indicator of 1000 l / min. nine0003
Select the appropriate dust container capacity.
It can be from 0.3 to 1 liter. The larger the capacity, the longer you can work without interruption. However, a large tank makes the structure heavier. Choose the best option so that you do not get tired and do not empty the dust container too often.
Best cordless vacuum cleaner for 2023

SPECIFICATIONS
- Power: Rechargeable
- Weight: 3.1 kg
- Container volume: 0.75 l
- Operating time: up to 60 minutes
PLUS
- Powerful suction
- Laser illuminates hidden dust
- Informative LCD display
Dyson's latest vacuum cleaner is truly the best and one of the best cordless vacuum cleaners on the market today.
It may be pricey, but with better performance and suction than the Dyson V11, and the same long-lasting battery for the same price, it's worth every penny. nine0003
The vacuum cleaner does an excellent job of cleaning hard floors thanks to a laser that highlights microscopic dust invisible to the human eye. In Auto mode, the vacuum cleaner saves battery power by automatically adjusting the suction power depending on the type of floor and the amount of dust. There is also a convenient LCD screen that shows the remaining operating time.
The V15 Detect Absolute has a medium-sized dust container and is noisy at full power. Not to mention that it is quite pricey, but it is worth the money if you want the best vacuum cleaner on the market. nine0003

Price: 1570 AED ≈ 29439 RUB
Technical characteristics
- Weight: 2.
6 kg - Container size: 0.75 l
- Operating time: Up to 60 minutes
PROS
- Easy to use
- Powerful suction nine0017 Turns into a handheld vacuum cleaner
The predecessor of Dyson's V11 series, the Dyson V10 cyclonic vacuum cleaner offers impressive cleaning power, but at a more affordable price, though not as competitive as other models on the market.
The cleaning performance is on par with the V11. On both carpets and hard floors, it does a great job picking up fine dust, pet hair, and even large debris like flakes and cat litter. nine0003
Dust bin size and runtime up to 60 minutes are the same as the V11, although please note that this figure decreases dramatically when using the most powerful suction modes. The vacuum cleaner can be converted into a handheld vacuum cleaner, just like other Dyson cordless vacuum cleaners.
At full power, it does not last as long as the V11, and it does not have the ability to automatically adjust the suction power depending on the type of floor to be cleaned.
It also doesn't have an LCD but is lighter and cheaper. nine0003

The Best Cordless Vacuum Cleaner with Large Dust Bin is a must have if you have a big house and the Dyson V11 Outsize really fits the bill. The 1.9 liter dust bin holds 150% more debris than the Dyson V15 Detect Absolute, meaning you won't have to empty it too often. The cleaning head is also wider than usual, which means you'll be able to cover more ground than with a standard cordless vacuum cleaner, another feature that makes it a good fit for larger homes.

Easy to pick up cookie crumbs, grime and even flakes and cat litter. However, it is expensive, which makes it out of reach for some. Due to its large size, the vacuum cleaner is not very convenient to use in manual mode.

5. Shark Wandvac

Price: 105 USD ≈ 7231 RUB
Technical characteristics
- Power supply: Available Battery
- Weight: 3 kg
- Container volume: 0.25 l
- Operating time: 16 minutes
PLUS
- Light weight
- Strong suction
- Convenient tank emptying
A compact and lightweight cordless vacuum cleaner that is always at hand, ideal for quick and efficient cleaning of small dirt, and Shark WandVac is the best suited for this type of device.
Easy to use, it picked up fine dust from hard floors and carpets with ease in testing, although larger debris will require a few sweeps to pick up all the dirt.
The vacuum cleaner can be used both as a nozzle and in manual mode. The dust container is smaller than average, so you'll need to empty it more often, but it's easy to do. nine0003
The Shark WandVac is loud and runs for about a quarter of what competing cordless vacuum cleaners offer. Thus, it is the best cordless vacuum cleaner for quick cleaning, not for big cleaning of the whole house.

6. Dyson Omni-glide
0003
- Power: Cordless
- Weight: 1.9 kg
- Container volume: 0.02 l
- Operating time: up to 20 minutes
PLUS
- Powerful suction
- Double soft brush protects hard floors
- Can be rotated in any direction
For homes with hard floors, the Dyson Omni-glide is the best cordless vacuum you can buy. With not one but two soft brushes, you can vacuum your home faster than ever without damaging your hard floor.
Testing has shown that the vacuum cleaner collects dust and dirt very effectively. nine0003
Released just a few days after the V15 Detect Absolute, the Omni-glide sits well on the floor for easy maneuvering under low-lying furniture, while four 360-degree casters on the bottom of the scrub head allow the cleaner to move in any direction.
The Dyson Omni-glide can only last 20 minutes on a single charge, although the battery inside the vacuum cleaner's handle is replaceable.
TheOmni-glide is one of Dyson's more affordable vacuum cleaners. But compared to other vacuum cleaners on the market, it is still pricey, especially considering that it cannot be used on carpets. nine0003
How to choose the best cordless vacuum cleaner
With such a wide range of cordless vacuum cleaners on the market, choosing the right one can seem like a daunting task.
Start by checking how long the battery lasts between charges and whether it can be replaced so that if the battery runs out while cleaning, you don't have to wait for the vacuum cleaner to charge before continuing.
The size of the dust container also affects the number of cleaning breaks. If you have a large house, look for models with larger than usual dust boxes. nine0003
If you have hard floors, look for a cordless vacuum cleaner with a special nozzle that has a softer brush roller so that it doesn't damage the floor while cleaning.
Also check if the vacuum cleaner can get under furniture and any narrow spaces you have in your home.
If you have furry friends, you'll be pleased to know that there are many models designed for cleaning pet hair from floors and upholstered furniture. Cordless vacuum cleaners are designed to be on hand whenever you need them, but how often you clean depends on the number of people and pets in your home, as well as how often you are at home. nine0003

Is Shark better than Dyson?
Shark and Dyson are the two biggest brands in the cordless vacuum market today.
They seem equal when it comes to suction power, but the Shark models are slightly more affordable than the Dyson models, which might make you wonder if the Shark is better than the Dyson?
Shark vacuum cleaners are not as elegant and stylish as Dyson vacuum cleaners. They're also often heavier, and while they feature useful tech like preventing hair from tangling around the air brush and flexible attachments for cleaning hard-to-reach areas, they're not as high-tech as Dyson's offerings.
For example, the Dyson V15 Detect, the latest top-of-the-line cordless vacuum cleaner, features a laser built into the floor nozzle that illuminates hidden dust for a thorough home cleaning. In addition, they have longer-lasting batteries than the Shark models. nine0003
So are Shark vacuums better than Dyson? This largely depends on the layout of your home, your budget, and the types of surfaces you want to clean.
How to vacuum properly
Of course, using a vacuum cleaner is not rocket science, right? However, many of us waste our energy if we don't vacuum properly.
Vacuuming the floors as quickly as possible is good for a quick cleanup before guests arrive, but it's not enough to clean the floors thoroughly every time. nine0003
If you want to deep clean the floor, start at the edges of the room with a crevice tool. Walk around the room, slowly moving the crevice tool from side to side so that it collects dust that has settled near the baseboards.
After you have cleaned the edges of the room, use the normal floor nozzle of the vacuum cleaner and walk slowly back and forth across the room. Repeat the same movements in reverse all over the floor so that nothing is left behind.
Are cordless vacuum cleaners worth the money?
Cordless vacuum cleaners have come a long way in recent years to rival the power and performance of premium upright and container vacuum cleaners. Since many models are suitable for use as a handheld vacuum cleaner, cordless vacuum cleaners can now be used as a single vacuum cleaner, rather than as a convenient addition to a bulkier upright model.
The downside, of course, is the need to charge cordless vacuum cleaners, but many of them now come with a second battery, and running times of up to 60 minutes will likely allow you to go around the whole house on one charge (unless your house is very large).
Vacuum cleaners with bag and without bag
Not sure which vacuum cleaner is better to choose - with bag or without bag? In terms of suction power, these two vacuum cleaners are equally good and can easily pick up fine dust and debris from hard floors. nine0003
Bag vacuum cleaners are easier to empty, making them the best choice for allergy sufferers. The dirt is contained in a bag that you just need to remove from the vacuum cleaner and immediately throw it into the trash.
However, bagged vacuum cleaners can be more expensive in the long run because you have to buy replacement bags for your vacuum cleaner. It's also harder to tell when the bag needs to be replaced, as some models only have a tiny indicator that may not be visible at first glance.
Whereas in bagless vacuums, the dust container is usually made of clear plastic so it is easy to see when it needs to be emptied. Bagless vacuum cleaners are also a more environmentally friendly choice, since dust bags are currently non-degradable. nine0003
Are cordless vacuum cleaners as good as corded ones?
Cordless vacuum cleaners have been around for over two decades, and if the first models weren't as good at picking up dust, they aren't anymore.
Many cordless vacuum cleaners on the market are equal and in some cases even better than corded vacuum cleaners when it comes to picking up dust and dander from carpets and hard floors. They are also more versatile than cordless vacuums as they can be converted into lightweight portable vacuums that are suitable for use on upholstery, at heights, and even in a car. nine0003
However, there is one area where they can't compete with cordless vacuum cleaners, and that is the capacity of the dust container. On average, cordless vacuum cleaners have dust containers ranging from 0.
2 to 0.75 liters, while traditional cordless vacuum cleaners, whether it be a piano or a container, have a volume of 1 to 2 liters. The only exception is the Dyson V11 Outsize vacuum cleaner, which has a volume of 1.9 liters. However, it is very expensive compared to other cordless vacuum cleaners and much more bulky. nine0003
Which cordless vacuum cleaner has the longest battery life?
Cordless vacuum cleaners can run from 10 to 60 minutes depending on the suction level at which they are used. The stronger the suction, the shorter the battery life.
In testing, the Miele Triflex HX1 Cat & Dog has the longest battery life. While it lasted 60 minutes at its lowest suction power, as did the Dyson V15 Detect, Dyson V11 Outsize and Shark Anti Hair Wrap Cordless Stick Vacuum Cleaner with PowerFins & Flexology, it lasted just over 16 minutes at its highest suction power. nine0003
While the Dyson V15 only lasted 15 minutes, the Shark only lasted 11 minutes. It's also worth noting that all three vacuum cleaners mentioned here come with replaceable batteries.
