We share practical tips on all things cordless vacuums from the list of features to look out for to providing product reviews - all of which will help you in selecting one that'll fit your needs.
When the first cordless vacs came out to the market, they took very long to charge - usually a whole day and run time was very very very short. This turned off a lot of users even until now, I've seen a lot of people saying that these types of machines are worthless, that corded vacuums are still the way to go.
But the technology is improving and will continue to improve as we go forward, new and more environmentally friendly lithium batteries combined with efficient motors have cut down charge time by as much as 90% in some models and increased run time five fold.
One of the innovators in this field is James Dyson, founder and CEO of Dyson, he was the first to introduced the bagless technology into the market and patented the root cyclone technology which basically uses centrifugal forces that keep dirt away from filter openings thus making it more efficient even if the canister is filled with dirt.
One of the best cordless vacuums in their lineup is the DC44 that uses a nickel cobalt manganese battery that gives you 20 minutes of continuous run time on normal mode but if you use the "max" button which more the doubles the suction power, that drops down to 8 minutes. 20 minutes does not sound like a lot but because this is equipped with a brush roll, it is efficient in picking up dirt on hard floors and carpet, often minimizing the number of passes thus you can clean more areas in less time. But this isn't meant to replace your full sized cleaner rather it augments it and gives you a wireless option.
Even though it is expensive at just a little over $350 (if you buy it in Amazon, around $400 retail), it is feature packed with 5 attachments that allow you to use it as a stick vac for floors or a handheld to clean everything else.
If you can't afford or aren't willing to pay for a DC44, there are also other brands that'll do as good a job for less.

In the video below, you'll notice that he calls this a "Hoover" which is a British term for vacuuming not the brand. :)
