If you have a cordless vacuum...

[BFPDec21]

What one do you have and would you recommend it?
What do you like about it and what do you hate about it?

I have a dyson. I hate hate hate it. Too inflexible to get into corners, hand hurts keeping the switch pressed all the time. I would bin it in the morning but DH is weirdly attached to it due to its marketing engineering credentials.

Bosch Athlet. Works on hard floors only, with light dust. Loved it at first but the battery charge drops really quickly so it's a pain as it now works for about 3 minutes and I've now replaced it with a corded vacuum.

I wish cordless vacuums had separate battery packs like drills, which could be switched in and out easily and replaced and recycled when they wear out.

@Speedweed my shark does.

Dyson. DH loves it but it's rubbish on carpet. It's no good for carpet edges or corners. Great for a quick whizz on hard floors though. Holding the button down all the time makes it hard for me. It holds charge well and is easy to empty.

@JeniferAllisonPhillipaSue which Shark cordless model do you have?

I have a Shark and I HATE it. It needs emptying constantly, it spits rubbish OUT, and it has rubbish suction.

Our shark is great. Stands alone, we have x2 batteries so one always charged, and handy attachments without taking whole thing apart

We have a eufy robovac and it is amazing. Tidy up, press go and off he goes vacuuming under the sofas and everything.

I have a Shark. It is brilliant on hard floors, I bought it for the kitchen. Not so great on carpet but that's ok for me as I mainly use it downstairs

I have a Bagotte robot vac plus a cordless I got for £100 from Lidl both are brilliant.

I have a Vax one. It's good for a quick flick round. The suction is only good on the 'High' setting which sucks the battery.

Vax blade.
LOVE IT!

Really easy to use, good suction. I only have a basic one so the thing I don’t like is the battery doesn’t last long. When this dies I will replace it with the one that has two battery packs. I also fined the dust collection thing a bit stiff to put on but I still love the hoover.

Shark Cordless- such a good buy.

Hold on for Black Friday if you can, I'd be shocked if they didn't go on offer.

Also have a Eufy but it's crap compared to the Shark.

Shark here, got the one that came with 2 batteries and they last well. Only down side is that it needs emptying several times while doing the whole house (we have a constantly shedding dog). Other than that it’s great. It’s an older one, I can only imagine newer versions are even better (anti hair wrap and such). I got it on a Black Friday deal, that was really a bargain.

Snap! 😁

Didn’t pay that much for it though!

I have a Dyson V15 and absolutely love it. It cuts up my long hairs so they don't tangle round the head, which is a real godsend. Good suction, easy to empty and change/wash the filter. Cost a lot, though, but for me, worth it!

Henry Hoover. Comes with 2 batteries. Good on hard floors. Okay on carpet. Battery lasts about 20 mins on high. Not as convenient as an upright.

Shark cordless. I love it. I paid £190 on Black Friday last year from AO.com. Much better than Dyson and I can do my whole house without the charge running out.

Dyson. It's good, but like all Dysons it should come with a resident engineer. Over-designed.

We currently have Sharks , but I’ve also had a Bosch Athlet and Dysons previously , the Sharks are my favourite .

Dyson v 15. It's great, much better than previous models.

Alas I am a vacuum locust (strangely, as I hate cleaning and do as little as possible…)

None of the cordless ones I’ve had are as good as a corded on carpet. All fine on hard floors.

I've currently got a Shark with 2 batteries and some anti hair wrap function. It’s nice but not great on carpets.

Previously I’ve had:
Bosch Athlet (lovely and nippy, not v reliable though)
gtech air ram (powerful but very noisy)
eufy Robovac (everyone raves about it; I hated it, lasted less than one day)
ancient Dyson handheld- still v good for quick crumb pickups

I have yet to find the holy grail of a vacuum that is cordless and amazing on carpet!

GTech Pro2. It's better on hard floors, prefer an upright for carpet.
