How to Compare Cordless Vacuum Cleaners

A cordless vacuum will save you having to get out your main machine every time you want to do a quick clean up.

Cordless vacuum cleaners are handy for daily tasks such as cleaning the kitchen floor or the entrance area of your home. When purchasing a cordless vacuum cleaner, compare the weight, battery life, attachments and storage options for each model.

Weight

If you're purchasing a cordless vacuum as a quick alternative to your main vacuum, you'll want it to be as light as possible. Compare the weight of each machine in the store before making a purchase.

Battery Life

Decide how long you're likely to use the vacuum for on each occasion. Compare this with how much usage you'll get from each battery charge on the models you are considering buying. Pick the vacuum that can be used for the length of time that you plan to use it.

Attachments and Other Features

Some cordless vacuums transform into handheld vacs to clean above the floor. If you want to buy this type of machine, compare the attachments you get with each machine. Also, compare the ease with which the vacuum transforms to handheld mode and the ease with which the tools are attached.

Storage

Compare how easily each cordless vacuum is stored. Some are more compact than others, so if space is short look for extra features such as foldable handles and compact charging units.
