Cordless vacuum with best battery life
Best Cordless Vacuum Battery Life | Cordless Vacuum Battery Life Guide
Here at Which Vac? we put all sorts of appliances through rigorous testing to ensure they meet manufacturers' listed figures. But, as well as that, we also aim to bring the facts and recommendations to you, the consumer.
When buying a cordless vacuum one of the key factors to consider is battery life. It's cordless, after all, so what good is it if the battery doesn't last long enough?
Our battery tests consist of 3 separate tests to ensure the cordless vacuum batteries are up to scratch. These tests are:
Battery life test - how long until it switches off
Power longevity test - at what point does suction begin to fail or waver
Charge time test - how long to charge from an empty battery
We put our cordless vacuums to the test to see what came up trumps.
Check out our top 3.
3. Dyson V8 Cordless Vacuum
Dyson V8 CordlessThe famous Dyson comes in at number 3. With a 40 minute battery life the Dyson is a strong contender and has enough juice to clean your home twice (if you're quick!).
Dyson's V8 has a boost mode which drops the battery life down to a tiny 6 minutes. In reality this mode should only be used in tiny bursts, but even so it will take its toll quickly.
What let the Dyson down in our tests was the charge time, which comes in at 5 hours. This may not matter to some, as after use it goes straight back onto the dock to charge anyway, but in such a close race we have to bear it in mind.
Have a read of our review of the Dyson V8 cordless.
2. Gtech AirRam & Gtech AirRam K9
Gtech AirRam K9Both the Gtech AirRam and the Gtech AirRam K9 have the same battery and power consumption. The difference between the two are the bristles on the brush and scented tabs that are found inside the device itself to try and remove pet odours from the room and the vacuum itself.
It was extremely close between the Gtechs and the Dyson V8.
Both cordless vacuums had a solid 40 minutes of battery life according to manufacturer.
During our tests the Gtech managed to last an extra minute over the Dyson. Both vacs kept strong suction until the end, without any fear of wavering.
What clinched it for the Gtech over the Dyson is the charge time, which comes in slightly lower at 4 hours for the Gtech.
Have a read of our reviews of the Gtech AirRam and the Gtech AirRam K9.
1. Bosch Athlet ProAnimal
Bosch Athlet ProAnimalHere is our winner, the Bosch Athlet ProAnimal cordless vacuum. This pet friendly cordless smashed our tests and beat the others comfortably.
With a solid 60 minutes of battery life the ProAnimal won that side of the test comfortably. We put most of the score weighting onto battery life as that is, after all, the most important factor to a good battery.
Second test was whether the Bosch would start flagging towards the end of the charge. It did, but not until around 58 minutes into the 60 minute charge.
It then continued through to 62 minutes of use, which we feel counteracts the slight wavering of power.
Lastly is charge time, which has the longest of all of the other cordless vacuums we put it up against. 6 hours is what it takes to get the battery back up to full again, which is more than the Dyson and the Gtechs. Most people will leave their vacuums on charge over night or after use, so this is less of an issue, but certainly worth mentioning.

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 vacuums 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 cleaner we've tested.
This cordless stick vacuum can easily handle pet hair as well as fine and large debris on both low- and high-pile carpets, though its strong suction force can cause 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 more of a hassle to maneuver, and it 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 a great option.
This uniquely-designed cordless vacuum can be used as a stick, upright, or handheld vacuum, allowing you to quickly adapt to several different cleaning situations on the fly. It also feels quite 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 Tineco PURE ONE S11 is a great option if you're looking on the affordable end of things but aren't willing to sacrifice versatility.
Unusually for a vacuum in this price range, it has a built-in dirt sensor that lets it automatically increase its suction power when cleaning areas with a high concentration of debris and also has a HEPA filter that does a good job of sealing in allergens. Performance on bare floors is fantastic, though it has a harder time dealing with debris embedded in low-pile carpet. Unfortunately, its relatively affordable purchase price is reflected in its build quality, which feels considerably less robust than the Miele Triflex HX1.If you want a mid-priced cordless vacuum that does a better job of handling debris on carpeted floors, the Samsung Jet 60 is a fantastic alternative, though it lacks the Tineco's self-adjusting suction power capability and doesn't do as well on bare floors.

The best budget cordless vacuum we've tested is the Wyze Cordless Vacuum.
While it feels considerably less durable than the Tineco PURE ONE S11 and lacks its automatic power adjustment feature, it's cheaper and produces a similarly strong real-world suction force, so it does a good job clearing debris from crevices. It performs impressively well on carpets, cleans up pet hair very well, 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 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 Tineco PURE ONE S11, it exchanges maneuverability for a larger internal dustbin that won't need emptying as often and longer battery life. 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. It comes with some attachments, including an upholstery tool that's remarkably well-suited for dealing with pet hair on fabric surfaces. This vacuum delivers strong performance, 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 longer 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 something with 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. Its strong performance on carpet makes it a good alternative to the Tineco PURE ONE S11, but it lacks the Tineco vacuum's self-adjusting power feature and is slightly heavier. It's also worth noting that this vacuum's availability is far more sporadic than either the Jet 60 or Tineco vacuums. See our review

Why use a silent cordless vacuum cleaner?
It's understandable to want a vacuum cleaner that doesn't make the noise that the whole neighborhood hears when you vacuum your apartment.
Many people are interested in purchasing the Silent Vacuum Cleaner.
But the vacuum cleaner is not exactly quiet because of its design, motor and intake air.
How quiet can a vacuum cleaner be?
Loudness isn't everything
Loudness, measured in decibels, isn't all that matters when it comes to noise emitted by a vacuum cleaner.
The way the vacuum cleaner sounds, in which frequency range the noise level emitted during operation, has a decisive influence on the acoustic impression.
The type of noise the vacuum cleaner makes also plays a role.
Higher frequencies sound louder to us than low frequencies, even if the measured volume level is the same.
A vacuum cleaner that makes a high-pitched whistle is therefore perceived as unpleasant.
Then vacuuming is no fun.
In the context of the so-called ECO design, the EU has even regulated the volume level of vacuum cleaners.
How noisy can a vacuum cleaner be?
This is clearly regulated for the EU. In accordance with Regulation (EU) No 666/2013, the maximum noise level of vacuum cleaners must not exceed an average of 80 decibels.
| Suction power mode | Noise level |
| Eco | approx. |
| Normal | approx. 63 dB |
| Turbo | approx. 65 dB |
60 dB 60 decibels, as in the example above, corresponds to the volume level of a normal conversation. 30 decibels achieved with a whisper.
Volume level comparison:
- Breathing: 10 dB
-
Leaf noise: 20 dB
-
Library: 40 dB
-
Urban traffic: 85 dB
-
Chainsaw (distance 1 m): 110 dB
-
Passenger aircraft: 120 dB
If we compare this volume level, then 60 dB and even 65 dB in turbo mode is a real claim.
This makes the Philips Speed Pro the quietest vacuum cleaner of its kind.
Very quiet dry and wet cleaning:

High suction power = high noise level?
Loudness is physically measurable
As we have already described, in addition to the sound pressure level in decibels (dB), the so-called psychoacoustics is also important.
Therefore, when testing a vacuum cleaner, we pay attention not only to the noise level, but also to how pleasant or not the suction sound is. Of course, this is also subjective to a certain extent. 🤷♂️
It is necessary to pay attention not only to the engine and the number of aerowatts .
Low-performance cordless vacuum cleaners and conventional vacuum cleaners can also be noisy.
The noise level of the vacuum cleaner is affected by motor, floor nozzle and air flow in housing and suction pipe.
Why the floor nozzle? Because it comes into contact with the floor covering.
The floor nozzle naturally generates a higher noise level on hard floors such as laminate or parquet than on carpet.
To prevent this, you can use special nozzles for hard floors , the so-called soft rollers brushes.

Cordless Vacuum Cleaner Buying Guide: The Most Important Buying Criteria
It's understandable to want a cordless vacuum cleaner that runs as quietly as possible.
Apart from the noise level, cordless vacuum cleaners have many advantages.
Who needs cable tangle , dusty and expensive dust collectors and limited range due to lack of outlets?
| Purchase criteria | Definition |
| Which type of vacuum cleaner should I choose? | Cordless Vacuum Cleaner, Corded Vacuum Cleaner, Cordless Mopping Vacuum Cleaner or Robot Vacuum Cleaner - each has its own advantages and disadvantages. |
| Is the filter type correct? | Good appliances are equipped with powerful HEPA filters. They reliably hold even the smallest particles. |
| How good is the emptying function? | Which (cordless) vacuum cleaner is better - with or without a dust box? |
| Do I need the wet cleaning function: yes or no? | Should the vacuum cleaner perform wet cleaning at the same time? |
When it comes to noise levels, vacuum cleaners with dust collectors have been considered the quietest devices for a long time.
However, we advise you to take a closer look at the cordless vacuum cleaner. Because 's advantages outweigh the disadvantages of 's.
When ranking purchase criteria, items such as suction power, handling, and design, play a paramount role .

Silent vacuum cleaners - main features
Corded vacuum cleaners and vacuum cleaners with dust collector are used less and less.
Cordless vacuum cleaners without a dust collector are replacing conventional vacuum cleaners.
Reasons - better handling of cordless vacuum cleaners, cleaning efficiency of and last but not least, no follow-up costs of .
Many people think that throwing away dust bags and buying new ones again and again is outdated.
The ecological balance does not look very good. 🌳
Except moderate noise, vacuum cleaner must meet the following requirements.
Good cleaning performance
Number one in the buying criteria ranking, of course: suction power.
When we test vacuum cleaners, they must show themselves on different types of floors.
Cordless and corded vacuum cleaners have to show how well they can pick up dirt on smooth and uneven floors.
For this we use a very simple method:
we weigh the dirt before spreading it on the surface, and we weigh the contents of the dust container after cleaning.
The best vacuum cleaners capture at least 95% of dust.
The best cordless vacuum cleaners like the Dyson V15 get 100% dirt on hard floors and 99% on carpets!
Our top recommendations for maximum cleaning performance:
High cleaning performance and best performance

V12 on Market.Yandex*
Long battery life
Thankfully, the days of short battery life are over.
At least the major vacuum cleaner manufacturers.
Each of the silent cordless vacuum cleaners shown here has an operating time of approximately 60 minutes.
Battery life for one hour is considered a reference.
Therefore, one battery charge is enough for the vast majority of apartments and houses.
In Dyson, Philips, Vorwerk or Tineco , the Li-Ion batteries have taken a strong position .
Not only do they have a long run time, they also have a fast charging time.
Easy to use and 2-in-1 function
One of the biggest advantages of cordless vacuum cleaners is ease and flexibility in use.
Who needs an annoying cable or plug on every corner of the house?
When using a cordless vacuum cleaner, you get an unlimited range.
In terms of use, it should be noted that 2-in-1 function is also relevant here
Whether you need to clean in a tight spot or vacuum over your head, you always have a handheld vacuum cleaner at hand.
Simply remove the telescopic tube and you can easily reach even narrow spaces.
Dust can be removed from upholstery and furniture with special nozzles.
And yes, it works better than with the telescopic tube. Just try it yourself!
Easy emptying and clean air
This is not only important for allergy sufferers: a good vacuum cleaner must effectively absorb dust particles and not release them back into the air, neither when cleaning nor when emptying.
The highest suction power will ultimately be of no use if your vacuum cleaner does not pick up and filter out as many dust particles as possible.
And again, after emptying, dirt and dust should naturally end up where they belong: in the waste.
In this regard, the question arises: is the vacuum cleaner with or without a dust collector better?
This question is almost like a question of faith when it comes to vacuum cleaners.
When we talk about the noise level as a purchase criterion, the question of the dust collector also plays a role. True, small.
If we measure the noise level of ten vacuum cleaners with a dust container and ten cordless vacuum cleaners without one, on average vacuum cleaners with a dust container are slightly quieter.
But in practice the difference in loudness of about 3-4 dB fades into the background. In the literal sense of the word.
😉
Similar to the question of whether with or without a cable, the answer depends solely on your personal preferences
Of course, the market also affects this.
There is only one wireless on the market vacuum cleaner with dust bag, which we can really recommend: Kobold VB100 from Vorwerk.
By the way, it is interesting not only because of the very good suction power.
It is the test winner of among vacuum cleaners with a dust container and it is very quiet.👍
What other types of vacuum cleaners are there?
-
Handheld vacuum cleaner:
as a floor vacuum cleaner, but in a small housing. Dust collector, battery and motor are built-in.
Advantage: they are compact and easy to store.
Disadvantage: in the small housing there is only room for a small battery and a small motor
Dust container and therefore the capacity is also smaller than that of upright vacuum cleaners.
Therefore they are only recommended for small houses.
2-in-1 cordless vacuum cleaners can also be converted into a handheld vacuum cleaner with just one hand.
The special upholstery or crevice nozzle makes it possible to use the vacuum cleaner in a wide range of applications.
-
Robot vacuum cleaners:
And even small robot vacuum cleaners work independently and without a dust collector.
Built-in (HEPA) filter ensures that dust remains inside the device.
If you want, you can leave the cleaning to a small robot vacuum cleaner, or you can just watch it vacuum hard floors and short pile carpets.
Or you can program a specific cleaning time.
By the way, some models can even carry out wet cleaning.
And premium robot vacuums empty the container on their own at the station (here you can read about the best robot vacuums with a self-cleaning station).
-
Washing vacuum cleaner
Strictly speaking, simple vacuum cleaners are not vacuum cleaners for collecting water. They clean hard floors, tiles, and sometimes carpets.
To do this, they use water and a water filter that filters out dirt particles. (Click here for the best cordless wet vacuum cleaners)
How much do silent vacuum cleaners cost?
Price is not always a reliable indicator of quality . But as far as vacuum cleaners are concerned, this is 100% true.
Don't worry, you don't have to spend 1000 euros or more to get a top model.
According to our research, lower price limit - is about 300-350 euros .
If you see a vacuum cleaner for 50 euros, think twice before ordering it.
You will see for yourself that all your requirements can be met
only with high technical quality and corresponding material processing .
👌
When it comes to price, when switching to a cordless vacuum cleaner, consider how much money you will save on dust bags.
Not having to buy dust bags again will have a positive effect on your bank account.
Therefore the cost is of the best cordless vacuum cleaner pays off pretty quickly.
Don't forget that you can always take advantage of attractive promotions and offers .

Washer and water cleaner: an alternative?
Wash and water vacuum cleaner
Sometimes, of course, a conventional vacuum cleaner is not enough.
If you don't feel like using a mop, then the cleaning device that can also remove stains from wine, cola, beer and other drinks - is what you need.
This is exactly what the liquid vacuum cleaner does. 😊
In the washing vacuum cleaner, the dirt passes through the suction tube and ends up in the dust container.
Special feature of : the electric motor and the dust container of the vacuum cleaners are insulated so they do not come into contact with liquids.
Like dry vacuum cleaners, liquid vacuum cleaners are available with or without a cord.
And of course they don't have dust collectors. That would be savagery!
We have already tested several cordless vacuum cleaners.
The smart and convenient alternative: silent robot vacuum cleaners
Robot vacuum cleaners are not for everyone. But there is no denying that they are very practical. 🙏
We also tested the best silent robot vacuums. Over the past three or four years, robot vacuum cleaners have experienced a real boom.
Meanwhile, many people can no longer imagine their lives without them.
Many find it easier and more convenient to let a small, smart home helper take over cleaning and partial washing of floors.
The winner of our robot vacuum test is Roborock.
Roborock stands out for its practical innovations:
Roborock robotic vacuum cleaners take over automatic cleaning and washing floors, even if your home has obstacles up to 1.9 cm high.
For some time this was the main reason why potential buyers refused to purchase a robot vacuum cleaner.
But before starting the vacuum cleaner large obstacles should still be removed .
But it is not necessary to spend a lot of time preparing an apartment for a robot.
Programming a specific cleaning time and automatic continuation of cleaning after "running into an obstacle" are standard, which is also present in Roborock 💪

Silent Cordless Vacuum Cleaners - Our Review and Conclusion
Cordless Vacuum Cleaners without Dust Collector are the most popular vacuum cleaners today.
Thankfully, the days of short battery life and low suction power are over.
At least this applies to the vacuum cleaners we recommend here.
And in terms of noise level, there are no more noticeable drawbacks compared to conventional vacuum cleaners.
The fact that dust collectors end up in the bin and you have to constantly buy them, many people no longer think is modern.
In addition to the suction power and suction noise that don't get in the way of the , customers especially appreciate the 's flexibility and compactness of the cordless 2-in-1 vacuum cleaners.
The Dyson cyclonic vacuum cleaners are very convincing during various tests.

What is the difference between a cordless vacuum cleaner and a conventional appliance?
The cordless vacuum cleaner does not require electricity from a wall outlet. At least about an hour.

Simply remove the suction pipe and you have a handheld vacuum cleaner. With the right attachment, you can use it to clean upholstery, pet hair and more.
With few exceptions, cordless vacuum cleaners work without a dust bag.
