The truth about Cordless Vacuums 

Just gotta put this out there. Once i got my cordless vacuum, i started vacuuming as a hobby. Corded vaccum feels like a chore and a hassle. Now i want to vacuum and have fun with it.

This is the problem, when I got my own place I got a big Shark corded vacuum with a HEPA filter and everything, and it’s a fantastic vacuum, but it turns the chore of vacuuming into a long and very involved process, so I don’t do it very often! I wait until my floor is so dirty I can’t bear it anymore I’d rather have a cordless vacuum and just do a quick tidy up once or twice a day. Since I already have the corded vacuum I’ll definitely be keeping it, because it can do a very deep clean on carpets. But I really need to get a cordless to help me keep my floors clean on a day to day basis.

Ah, a vacuum salesman telling me i need 2 vacuums. What a shocker..

I have 4 children and have to vacuum something daily. I love my stick vacuum. The corded one only gets used for giant messes.

Have been in the cleaning businesses for many years,have used countless different cordless and corded vacuum cleaners, I carry both types when I'm on a job, I access each job whether I need a corded or corded vacuum, I prefer the cordless as it's lighter more maneuverable and i don't have to worry about power points or pulling cords behind you and there's no chance of customers tripping over power cords, most cordless vacuums I use have between 50-60 minutes running time and I always carry a spare battery .

I just want to keep a vacuum next to the cats litter boxes. I have two boxes, and keeping up with the sand can be tricky sometimes. I don’t want to lug around a giant vacuum just to use it for less then 30 seconds at a time

I don’t care if a corded deeps cleans better. I can clean much more frequently with a cordless, so my home is cleaner in general than with corded. Also pets and children have the tendency to have unexpected messes where the weekly corded clean won’t get to unless you vacuum right away. Cordless makes that more bearable while a corded is still stuck on the weekly clean. And don’t forget the ease of car cleaning without needing to go to public car washes and not dealing with extension cords, especially if you live in an apartment setting. Another thing that most built in or canister vacuums can’t do is remove fine stuck on dust from hard floors, relying only on suction. It’s similar to how a vacuum dusting brush removes stuck on dust from furniture better than blowing alone. Like a dry mop. Many new premium cordless vacuums already clean as good or almost as good as premium corded in their normal power mode based on some online tests. Unless you have to clean your entire home in one go each time and do 10+ passes in every square foot of carpet (which is the real way to deep clean carpets), cordless is practical for most, especially since you can vacuum small sections multiple times a week instead of one long clean. I can vacuum my entryway every single day which has been easier and faster to do than using a broomstick or corded vacuum.

100% agree. Wish someone would have told me this when we moved into our first house. Took me about a year struggling to vacuum the whole house with a cordless Dyson to realize I needed a corded vacuum for my weekly deep cleaning. Ordered a corded Dyson and I’m so happy with the duo setup. Great video! ❤

Of course a vacuum salesman would tell me to buy more vacuums!

I made a test. I have two carpets in my apartment which I vacuumed thoroughly with my Electrolux vacuum which has 1800 Watts of power. After this I took my Dreame XR cordless and vacuumed those carpets again on the lowest suction setting with universal electric brush and guess what, it was FULL of dust, sand, human hair etc. So don't tell me that you need a "normal vacuum". Those days are gone.

Can you help me with which one to use when we have a toddler and a dog (beagle ) ?? I am okay in investing in floor robovac and one deep cleaning vaccum.

I agree i have a Miele for my deep carpet vacuuming days and i just got a cordless 2-1 for my stairs, quick daily kitty litter floor and carpets pick up (my two 🐈track a lot under their paws even with their mat), couch and car.

Also, most people don’t vacuum their home the way they are supposed to, either. They forget the couch, the baseboards, window seals, bedding, pillows, fixtures, cobwebs, under furniture, etc. The floors are the bare minimum.

I am using dyson everyday for my large 3bhk n there is no issue

as a wheelchair user i 1000% disagree 😅 I can't bare these freaking corde

Not true I use a cordless Dyson vacuum on big houses daily and it does a wonderful job, plus is not heavy or complicated so you want to do it daily 🎉

For deep cleaning carpet, gotta be direct fan with serious brush roll and beater bars. I'd LOVE it if Milwaukee or EGO strapped their batteries & motors to a simple Sanitaire. I'll be first in line. Until that day, I'll limp along with a disposable Stratos Cordless for a daily driver, and one of my direct air antiques for occasional "deep cleans".

I use my Dyson V8 all the time for quick cleaning and Sebo Felix for deep cleaning

Says the vacuum salesman. I’m shocked

I have a Miele canister for carpets and just got a Tineco stick vac for hard floor sweeping, as well as a robot for nightly kitchen sweeping and semi -weekly under couch jobs. Still considering selling the robot. It's neat, but...

Disagree the corded vacuum makes me lazy and honestly the dyson I have works way better than my corded one.

Some of us dont have the spoons to deal with all the extra steps of corded vacuums, and some of us have executive dysfunction that makes corded vacuums useless, cordoess vacuums are great for disabled and neurodivergent people

I learned this the hard way. Just threw away my cordless dyson

Thanks for honest review 👍

Yes you are absolutely correct. There’s no way a cordless vacuum can fully deep clean your house. I use mine in between cleaning with my main corded vacuum. My cordless picks up a lot but cannot get under everything therefore I have to use my main one to clean under the really low furniture. If I go a longer period of time without using my main corded one I can really tell that my home is not as clean as it usually is.

Thank you! 🎉

Thank you for the confirmation 👍 clarity 😀

100% agree battery lasts 12 mins on most affordable vacuums and a full charge takes about 8 hours. If you want 60 mins run time on a single charge you’re looking at vacuums over $1000 (CAD).

I wanted it for pets 🤣🤣 i am so lazy to get the big vacuum with its long cord

especially with lots of carpeted spaces! The new generation of stick vacs do good, but sometimes you need more than 20 minutes to get every nook and cranny.

I have 3 kids 2 dogs and a cat. I love my stick vacuum it’s so much easier than pulling out my corded one

Sooooooooo true 😢

Decision made, thank you.

Just from the thumbnail I thought the guy was Michael vsauce

Get a good robot vaccum and a stick vacuum. Sorted. Robot does it every 2 days. Stick vacuum for the corners and skirting and the quick runs around the kitchen

Dyson v15 only for cars. Once a week or 2. Thank you Sir

Totally agree. I've just sent my new Dyson V8 back, the power was so weak... It was only delivered on Friday. I bought the Dyson thinking it was powerful. How wrong was I! 👍

Thank you!!!

So not true. I vacuume evrybday sometimes twice in a specific area. Just bc i love the convenience of the Dyson. So my floors never collect dust. In the past with the cord vacuum I hated vacuuming and so dust used to just site there fir days. So bc off my Dyson I don’t need deep cleaning bc I never let it get that messy that it needs deep cleaning. I even want to go out and get a new Dyson v12 for the second floor off my house just to make it more convenient for myself.

If the option is a bag take the bag ovet bagless. More suction power

They’re a hype like the Stanley bottles. One person made a video and everyone ran and spent nearly 1k just to use them once a week

low key, thanks for this tip.

I just learned this the bad way, my Triflex broke and the service guy told me that. I got a canister as my primary vaccum now.

If you're doing daily vacuuming the place should be clean enough thay you shouldn't need a heavy duty corded vacuum, even if you did get something small for the edges of the room like a power tool battery hoover that way your don't need to store 2 large vacuums.

Vsauce for vacuums

Finally someone who gets it. You need a good full size vac and then a cordless to AUGMENT it.

Why not use a corded stick for the best of both worlds?

My Dyson v11 outsize has 220 air watts and can clean my fairly decent sized home on 1 canister. My henry has 229 air watts but it has a cord. Its not even that much of a difference. Obviously im going to use the outsize all the time because its actually fun to use. Dont get me wrong i love henrys, but i sometimes just want to vacuum quick and easy. Plus most of my house is hard floor, and the dyson laser fluffy head is great for hard floors. And then i have to ask the question, why would a large cordless vacuum to vacuum the entire house exist when you are ‘supposed’ to be using a corded vacuum🤦

I know, ❤️

Finally someone is speaking real facts😊

Thanks!

This might be true for carpet, but hardwood floors, I think cordless are better. It's just easier to use.

I agree

Fully agree

My favorite vacuum is a bagged canister with a powerful motor that emits a soft sound and a power nozzle with great agitation.

Saved me $$$

That’s what I thought, the cordless ones are worse than a broom. 💀

Actually your wrong. We have a Tienco Cordless S12 as our only Vaccum cleaner. We are 3 adults and 3 kids. Never had a complaint. I even purchased a Third Battery and a Extra Tienco S12 second hand. This way we can use the Vaccum for a whole hour on max suction. We pair that with a steam mop. When we had a corded Vacuum we used to Vacuum once a week or every 2 weeks. It was a mess. But the cordless option allows us to Vaccum on an ongoing basis without the need to do a deep clean. But once a month we do deep cleaning using it and we never feel the need for more power. Only 1 thing to point out is that we only have tile and Laminate flooring. We have a Carpet on which we use the motorized Carpet brush.

Thank you. This helps me a lot

He's right, the amount of power in a corded vacuum motor is far too high for a battery to be used. Especially for the amount of time that the average consumer uses a cordless. A corded Hoover will beat a Dyson every single time and that's simply because it cheats by having "infinite" power to work with. There's a reason hotels use giant industrial vacuums and it's not only for the durability. They simply put work better for the job since they are provided both the motor space and power needs to do the job.

I m not even trying to change his mind you're 100% right

Too many dyson cordless bots. No way in hell a cordless is better than corded. The CORDED IS WAY MORE POWERFUL

not anymore

finally someone says it.

Ah is that why I brought my Mrs 3 different types of cordless vacuums because she keeps breaking them lol best get a hetty then lol

What boots are those lol

No you don't

Not changing your mind. But you are wrong

and you sell.... ha ha ha

Not true, old man way of thinking when it comes to Floor Care

Cordless is crap. Absolute waste of space
