Imagine be able to move from room to room with ease without having to worry about stumbling over cords or finding it difficult to get to areas that are difficult to reach. With a cordless vacuum, you get precisely that. With their combination of power and versatility, cordless vacuums promise an incredibly convenient cleaning experience.

Are you considering a cordless vacuum for your next purchase? We listed the 6 main benefits of making the switch below:

1. Cordless convenience

We've already eluded to it above but the best thing about a cordless vacuum, is that it eliminates the constant hassle of a cord. The convenience of vacuuming without a power cord cannot be overstated: there is no chance of the cord becoming tangled around tables or chairs, and there is no chance of unplugging from the socket.

"What about the battery life?" is a common question we hear. Newer models feature long-lasting battery packs and can often be swapped for a new one thanks to the detachable battery packs found in many of the more recent models. Several vacuum models, such as the Samsung and LG even come with charging stations.

2. Enjoy the lightness of cordless vacuums

Once of the worst thing about a corded vacuum cleaner is the weight. Vacuuming can often feel felt more like a workout than a household chore. The weight of many conventional upright vacuums can easily exceed 15lbs, and some models, can reach upto 22lbs. Let's contrast that with the Samsung Jet™ 75E cordless vacuum cleaner, which weighs even less at 6lbs, or Zanussi ZANXZ251BL Cordless Vacuum, which weighs 6.8 pounds. You will experience less strain when vacuuming with these lighter machines.

3. Easy to store

'Stick vac' is a term that is often used for cordless vacuums because of their small size and wand-like shape. Compared to conventional upright vacuums, they are easier to handle and store due to their ultra slim design.

The vacuum can easily be stored out of sight in a small coat cupboard and because it takes up much less space than a larger conventional vacuum, there will still be space to fit in other items such as that steam cleaner that you've had your eye on.

4. Empty the dust/dirt with ease

Cordless vacuum models are usually easy to empty with some models offering the functionality to be able to eject straight into the bin.

5. Versatility

The majority of cordless vacuums have a range of, interchangeable attachments. This allows you to make the device smaller or modify it to meet particular vacuuming requirements, such as reaching high areas and awkward corners.

You can also remove the 'wand' element of the vacuum which makes it perfect for cleaning stairs or getting into corners or other small spaces.

6. Energy-efficient

Yes, you can save energy by using cordless vacuums. And we don't just mean saving you the physical energy required to vacuum. Compared to a corded model, they typically consume less energy and electricity from your house. This is due to the fact that cordless vacuums only use household energy for charging, not for actual operation.

However, the downside is that cordless vacuums require regular recharging because their batteries last for approximately 40 minutes before taking two to sixteen hours, depending on battery capacity, to fully charge. With this in mind, you may want to consider the size of your home before opting for a cordless model.
