Most of us enjoy the convenience of cordless vacuums. They are small, lightweight and easy to use. But how much do they really clean compared to a corded vacuum? And are they worth it?
Cordless vacuums come in two different types; handheld or stick/upside down style. Some manufacturers also offer combined units that incorporate both into one machine.
Most functional handhelds will provide about 20-30 minutes of run time (on average). Stick style units will usually last around 40-60 minutes. Both styles work best on hard floors and low pile carpeting, however stick models can be used for high pile carpets as well. Most cordless units don’t have the suction power of their corded counterparts; however, they do perform better overall than most people give them credit for.
The first question asked by many people is whether the convenience of having a cordless vacuum outweighs any limitations it might have. For example, can an average-sized room easily be cleaned with one? Cordless stick-style units are great for quick pickups and cleaning up small messes around the house. They’re especially useful if you have little kids that tend to spill things.
