No matter what you call home – a cosy studio, a three-room flat, a spacious multi-level home – you need a vacuum to pick up the dust and dirt that naturally accumulates day after day. Your home's floor plan, storage options and total square metres influence which cordless vacuum cleaner suits your needs best.
Your place might be small and sweet, but that doesn't keep it dust free. What you really need: a vacuum cleaner with enough suction power to properly clean floors, corners and hard-to-reach places, yet a footprint small enough to be easily tucked away in the cupboard or hang on the wall. Let's take a closer look at what dwellers of small spaces ought to look for when choosing a new vacuum cleaner.
In general, cordless vacuum cleaners are compact and, as a result, easy to store. This makes them an obvious choice when space comes at a premium. Additionally, cordless vacuums tend to be light in weight and flexible. Talented multi-functional models can be flexibly used as an upright or a stick vacuum as well as a handheld for quick spot cleaning of a range of surfaces.
That said, there is some variation in the category of cordless vacuum cleaners. Think about what your top priority is – dimensions, weight, flexibility – beforehand and let this factor guide you when making your final decision.
The strongest cordless vacuum cleaner in its weight class picks up dirt on all types of floors – and turns into a handheld vacuum to clean up high or other hard-to reach places. Part of the Power for ALL system.
As wonderful as a large home can be to live in it's also more work to clean. Picking up tracks and traces on a wide variety of flooring and surfaces takes time – even without calculating in the carpets and stairs. By finding the right cordless vacuum for your multi-room, possibly multi-level house, you can add joy to a cleaning task you'd otherwise avoid.
Rest assured that battery life doesn't stand in the way of cleaning a large living space with a cordless vacuum. Not only have average runtimes improved, some cordless models come with an extra exchangeable battery or two. Flat battery mid-clean? Swap in a charged one and carry on.
Lightweight and flexible, cordless vacuums are comfortable to manouver and convenient to carry to different rooms and floors.
Of course, not all cordless vacuum cleaners are alike, so take a closer look at their specs and choose one based on what matters most to you.
