A cordless vacuum is an utility tools for minor cleanup around the home. The are especially useful for cleaning hard to reach areas and for every day cleanup of spills. There are several types of cordless vacuums for use around the house. The earliest was the little hand vac used to clean up small spills.

Newer is the stick vac which is much like the little hand vac, but attached to a handle for easy use. Cordless sweepers are very popular now, replacing the broom and dustpan. Finally we have the lightweight cordless vacuum which can be a lightweight replacement to your corded vacuum for regular vacuuming.

Lightweight size and maneuverability make a cordless vacuum an important tool in the cleaning arsenal of homes across the globe. When space is at a premium the compact size of these tools makes storing them much easier than their corded counterparts. A cordless vacuum is usually quieter and cleaner running than a corded vacuum, making them ideal for cleaning in places where noise would be bothersome to others around. While the power of a cordless vacuum is not usually enough to completely replace a corded machine, using one for every day cleaning relegates the corded model to the back closet where it is only pulled out when heavy duty cleaning is necessary.

When buying a cordless vacuum, be sure to think about the options that are most important to you. First you should look at the battery. Usually a higher voltage battery offers more powerful suction. You also want to think about how easy it is to charge. If you have to plug in a small adapter to charge it, it will be harder for those with difficulty handling small object. If the unit easily hangs on its charger base this offers more convenience, but is usually more expensive. If you are going to use it for rugs or carpets you will want to get a model with a roller brush.

If you are cleaning your rugs and carpets, then you need a spinning head. If you are wanting to use it to clean up wet spills, you need to make sure that it has the ability to handle wet spills. You must choose the options that meet your needs. Don’t choose the vacuum that is best for your neighbor or that works well for you mother. Take their opinions into account, but choose the vacuum that is going to best meet your own personal needs.
