Are you tired of lugging around your vacuum all over the house to do small jobs? While a reliable, high power vacuum is a good idea for the main areas of the house, a cordless vacuum can come in quite handy. Here are some ways in which a cordless vacuum will make your life easier (and cleaner).
Cordless vacuums are generally small, compact, and light weight so they're perfect for hard to reach areas and other areas that you never would be able to get with your regular vacuum such as table tops, drapes and cobwebs. They come with a charging unit that mounts on the wall and once charged, the vacuum will operate for a sufficient amount of time; this amount of charge time varies with the model and battery life but can be up to two hours.
There are some things that cordless vacuums are just perfect for. In fact, after the ease of a cordless vacuum you might wonder why you haven't used one sooner. The garage is a perfect place to use these handy vacuums. The make cleaning up the workbench area a breeze. They are also perfect for vacuuming the car since it's difficult to get a regular vacuum in all the nooks and crannies of the floor board and trunk. It's so handy in the garage, many people have two - one for indoor and one for the outdoors and garage.
Another area that's ideal for using cordless vacuums is stairs. A regular vacuum requires you to use attachments and then lug the body of the vacuum around while you clean. With cordless vacuums it's a breeze. It can also be used in the garage to clean up after your wood working power tools.
All cordless vacuums appear to be almost identical; they are small and made from plastic to be lightweight. There are some differences with the battery life and horsepower so keep that in mind. Also look to see if filters and bags are required; some are disposable while others need to be cleaned. The disposable type bags are easier but you'll have to find the replacement bags which can be difficult and sometimes costly. Don't expect a cordless vacuum to have rotating brushes. Since they must run on batteries and be light weight, they generally will only be a nozzle with suction.
To find a good, reliable cordless vacuum do some research. Go online and look for consumer ratings to see how different brands and models rate. You can also go to a store that has specialized agents who will be able to differentiate the brands and models. You usually get what you pay for so it will be well worth it to get a reputable brand with a warranty.
