Vacuum cleaners have come a long way over the years, and there is now a huge variety in terms of size and style, from bagless to cordless and even robot models.

Cordless vacuums are very popular. If you’re on the hunt for a cordless vacuum, here are some tips to help you choose the right one for your needs.

Choosing the right cordless vacuum cleanerWhy choose cordless?

With the introduction of cordless vacuum cleaners, there was something of a revolution in the world of cleaning. People discovered they could now zip about while cleaning, and not having to stop, unplug and move cords made everything faster, easier and that much better. Cordless models come with a rechargeable battery and they tend to be smaller and lighter than traditional models. While this makes them ideal for the elderly or those with bad backs, they are also great for anyone who is looking to save time and energy.

Know your floor

The first step in choosing the right cordless vacuum is to know your floor. Are you looking to use it on carpet, rugs, floorboards, tiles or a combination of these surfaces? Any cleaner specs should list the surfaces that it’s most suited for. If you’re going to need your vacuum for multiple surfaces, make sure that it is has suitable attachments for both carpet and hard floors.

Consider use

Another point to consider when choosing your cordless vacuum is how frequently you’ll need to use it. The battery life, voltage power and degree of suction may vary from one model to the next, so make sure you choose something that suits your needs, and ask to test it out in the shop first if you can. For frequent use in high-traffic areas for instance, you want to make sure you have enough suction power to do the job, and that the battery won’t need recharging when you’re only halfway through.

Find your features

There are some specific cleaner options that are worth knowing about. Some models feature multi-directional swivel heads for instance, which are fantastic if you need to clean in tight spaces or beneath sofas or tables that are low to the ground. There are also two-in-one models with detachable handheld vacuums, which are fantastic for stairs, cars or other small spaces. Make sure you check out all the available features on the models you’ve narrowed down so that you can then make an informed decision based on what you need – and what you’d like!
