What to consider when choosing a cordless vacuum
What do you need to clean?
How large an area do you need to clean, and how long do you expect it to take? A cordless vacuum has a limited battery life. If you need to cover a large area, you might need to look at a pricier cordless with a longer Dyson V6 vacuum battery life. Even the most expensive ones cut out at around an hour, before you need to recharge. The time it takes to recharge should be factored in too, as some cordless vacuum cleaners require a 6-hour charge. If you’re not prepared to wait around for charging, you might be better off with a plug-in vacuum cleaner. In saying that, some people choose to buy an extra battery so that when one runs out, they can move onto the next without waiting around for a charge. Some cordless vacuums come with multiple batteries, so you can swap them out.
You also need to think about how much dirt you need to pick-up in the area you’re cleaning. You may be emptying a cordless vacuum more often than you would a plug-in with a larger capacity. However, they are generally fairly easy to empty, and some have convenient ejection mechanisms that assist with the process.
Vacuum Cleaner and Battery Cost
The cordless vacuum cleaners that perform similarly to plug-in vacuum cleaners are coming in at a high price tag. You need to factor this in, as you might be able to buy a plug-in vac with all the same features, for less money than the cordless with fewer features. There are also many affordable cordless vacuum cleaners on the market. The cheaper ones offer potentially less run time, less power, and/or less dust Dyson DC35 vacuum cleaner battery capacity, but depending on your needs, those things may not be an issue. In general, the more you spend, the greater the capacity of cordless vacuum, and the greater amount of space you can clean.
