How to choose a cordless vacuum cleaner for your home?

A rather simple and well-known household appliance – a vacuum cleaner – has not only evolved significantly over the past decades, but has also acquired a fairly large number of various types specializing in different tasks.

Despite the fact that all these devices continue to be called "vacuum cleaners", they have divided various areas of work among themselves: some models are designed for professional cleaning of large areas and / or rooms in which repairs are being made. Others are best suited for cleaning a typical home or apartment. Still others specialize in quick and comfortable cleaning of small spaces…

In this article, we will look at how to choose the right cordless upright vacuum cleaner for your home.

Upright vacuum cleaners, which have become widespread in recent years, are in a fundamentally different category than traditional vacuum cleaners. If the latter are intended for a full and thorough cleaning of the entire apartment, then upright vacuum cleaners rather serve as an electric broom and are designed for cleaning not too polluted rooms. They are also used in everyday mode – when you need to quickly remove a small space (sand in the shoe storage area or spilled cereal in the kitchen).

The main advantages of upright vacuum cleaners are compactness, light weight and battery operation. Key (possible) disadvantages are insufficient power, short battery life and poor design solutions.

What parameters should I pay attention to when choosing an upright vacuum cleaner?

Power. If traditional and household vacuum cleaners are rarely deprived of a powerful motor, and more often even have a more powerful motor than required, then for compact cordless vacuum cleaners, insufficient power can become the bottleneck, separating the useful from the useless. When choosing an upright vacuum cleaner, you must definitely pay attention to the power of the device and make sure that it will be sufficient to clean the room. As in the case of "large" models, it is not recommended to focus only on the numbers declared by the manufacturer: the actual performance of the device does not always correlate with them in the expected way.
Battery capacity and operating time. But in this parameter, the manufacturer almost never cheats. Before buying an upright vacuum cleaner, be sure to find out how long it can work without recharging, as well as how long it will take to fully charge the battery. Of course, few battery models are still capable of fully cleaning an apartment with an area of one hundred squares, however, if you plan to buy a vertical vacuum cleaner for a studio apartment or a one-room apartment, then it would be logical to opt for the model that can cope with cleaning the premises for once, without additional recharging.
Weight. If you plan to use an upright vacuum cleaner for a full, rather than short-term cleaning, then do not forget that you will be holding it in your hands all this time, and therefore, the device should not be too heavy. If the vacuum cleaner is purchased for occasional use, then the importance of this parameter is not so great.
Complete set (availability of nozzles). Like its older counterparts, a good upright vacuum cleaner is not only equipped with a wide range of nozzles (here we can recall a turbo brush for the floor, a special brush for furniture, and a crevice nozzle, and brushes for cleaning textiles, and additional extension tubes), but also designed in such a way that all these attachments can easily reach the most remote and hard-to-reach places, including the vacuum cleaner should be convenient to use under furniture and in narrow aisles.
Wet cleaning capability. While the vast majority of upright vacuums are designed for dry dust only, some models are also wet cleaning capable. This function is implemented with the help of a special nozzle for washing the floor – a tank for a small amount of water and a washing cloth, which is automatically moistened. Wet cleaning can be an excellent function: such a vacuum cleaner, of course, will not clean old and severe dirt (there are other devices for general cleaning – steam generators or steam mops), but combining daily floor sweeping with wet cleaning makes life much easier.
Illumination. Another useful feature that not every upright vacuum cleaner has is LED floor lighting. Such a trifle can significantly increase the comfort of using a vacuum cleaner: you don’t have to specifically shine a flashlight under the bed to see how thoroughly the dirt has been removed.
Docking station. Upright vacuum cleaners are traditionally mounted on the wall with a special device that acts as a charging station. When choosing an upright vacuum cleaner, you need to make sure that the docking station can be easily mounted in the chosen place and will not interfere with other furniture.
