Most of the popular (and affordable) vacuum cleaners today have a short battery life, which typically ranges between 15-30 minutes. Thankfully, there are many exceptions to these rules. Now batteries last longer, and the lightweight build of most cleaners make it quite convenient to go about the job. So, if you are in the market looking for cordless vacuum cleaners with long battery life, here are some of the best ones. Let’s take a look.
1. Shark ION F80 Lightweight Cordless Stick Vacuum
Battery: 80 minutes Again, the vacuum is bagless and the bin can hold around an adequate amount of it. However, if your house gets dirty frequently, you might find the bin a little inadequate. It has two settings — ION Power and ION Boost. And depending on the one you pick, the battery life may vary. The unit takes around 3 hours to juice up the batteries completely. The reception of this product has been pretty great. Do note that it’s a top-heavy cleaner, and you might want to consider this point, especially if you think handling it might strain your wrists.
2. Dyson Cyclone V10 Absolute Stick Vacuum Cleaner
Battery: 50 minutes Plus, with the motor sitting inline with the suction tube, you get a more streamlined design. You get notified if the filter isn’t working as expected. When it comes to surfaces, this one sweeps up carpeted and hardwood floors easily. When it comes to battery life, this one provides an impressive full hour of run time before needing a recharge. It has received great reviews from professionals as well as from regular users, with users commending it for its suction power and its ability to suck in hair, pet fur, and its maneuverability. The Dyson V10 series is available in three variants. The Cyclone V10 Motorhead is the entry-level cleaner, while the Cyclone V10 Animal is more suitable for pet owners.
3. Gtech AirRam MK2
Battery: 40 minutes What makes this cleaner special is that there are no dedicated dirtbags. Instead, dust is compressed and stored in the base. If we talk numbers, the Gtech AirRam MK2 can compress 2.4L of debris and dust into capsules and packs the same into its 0.8L bin. Speaking of features, there are a couple of LED lights at the bottom, which lets you see the charge remaining. Plus, the extendable handle means you can get into tight spots as well as for cleaning stairs and the likes. The run time of the AirRam MK2 is around 40 minutes, and it takes around 4-hours for a complete charge.
4. Dyson V8 Absolute Cordless Stick Vacuum Cleaner
Battery: 40 minutes And typical of most stick vacuum cleaners, this one also converts into a hand vacuum. That feature makes it ideal for cleaning tight spots. You can charge it up and use it to clean your car once in a while. The suction power is one of the selling points of most Dyson cleaners, and the V8 Absolute is no different. From pet hair and dust to general dirt, this one cleans everything effortlessly, especially carpets and rugs. This deal is further sweetened by the inclusion of a soft roller cleaner head, which makes it a child’s play to clean hardwood floors. Do note that using the max mode of the vacuum cleaner brings the battery life to around 25 minutes. If that’s a shortcoming you are willing to live with, the Dyson V8 makes for a good buy.
5. Bissell Cordless Vacuum, 1984
Battery: 40 minutes Apart from that, it has a run time of 40 minutes on high power. That makes this device apt for quick cleans. And well for moderate spaces, the suction power, and the lightweight material combine to give you a pleasant experience.
6. Tineco A11 Hero Cordless Vacuum Cleaner
Battery: 30 minutes The battery life of 30 minutes may not be much for some users. But don’t get disheartened for this vacuum cleaner comes with two batteries. So yeah, you get a cumulative run time of 60 minutes, provided you keep both the batteries charged.
Add Shine to Your Abode
A clean house leads to a cleaner mind. And with cordless stick vacuum cleaners, the work becomes easier. Add a long-lasting battery to the mix, and you have the perfect recipe. Do keep in mind that cordless vacuum cleaners do not have the same suction capacity as their wired counterparts. Thankfully, devices like Dyson and Shark have almost bridged the gap now.
