A cordless vacuum cleaner is a device that can greatly improve our living comfort and keep our home clean without wrestling with a cable and telescopic tube. Which cordless vacuum cleaner to choose? Check, our ranking!
Cordless vacuum cleaner characteristics
How does a cordless vacuum cleaner differ from a traditional one? First of all, convenience of use. Cordless vacuum cleaners are designed to serve us best, but also so that we can easily find a place to store them. As a result, we do not need to fold and unfold them at and after each use. All we have to do is put them upright, and that way they take up a minimal amount of space. They are also not limited by the length of the cable, but only by the battery life according to its charge level. On the Polish market, there are mainly bagless vacuum cleaners, which have a tank at the handle, which must be removed and emptied after filling. In your search for the best cordless vacuum cleaner for you, pay attention to the following features:
- suction power,
- the time it takes to fully charge the battery,
- battery life.
It is worth noting that these three aspects are interrelated. A vacuum cleaner with high power will affect the battery life, so it will drain faster. A device with less power, may run without recharging for longer, but for that it may not be effective in getting rid of large dirt. Which cordless vacuum cleaner should you choose?

Which cordless vacuum cleaner to choose?
When choosing a cordless vacuum cleaner, there are several important aspects to pay attention to.
- suction power,
- weight,
- volume,
- charging time,
- battery life,
- additional features such as mopping and handheld vacuum mode,
- build quality,
- price.
Cordless vacuum cleaners are very convenient to use and do not take up much space. They are ideal for homes and apartments, and the lack of cables allows you to reach any room easily and smoothly. Each of them has different functions, so when choosing one, you should pay attention to what you care about most. If we want a vacuum cleaner for ordinary cleaning tasks, and we care about a low price, we can safely find a model in the price range of 400-500 zlotys. If you need to buy a multifunctional device, you should expect higher costs, which exceed even 3500 zł. It is worth taking into account the battery life, because not every model is efficient, and discharging in the middle of cleaning can be annoying – especially if the charging time is several hours. Undoubtedly, another advantage of cordless vacuum cleaners is that they take up very little space – we can quietly lean it against the wall without having to fold and unfold it. The lack of bags and filtration system makes it even easier and more convenient to use such a device. Once you choose a cordless vacuum cleaner, you will probably not want to return to traditional models.
