Forget the days of being at the mercy of the length of your vacuum cleaner cord. Today’s cordless vacuum cleaners are user-friendly and more powerful than ever, tackling dirt, debris, tough stains and odors with ease.Â
Going CordlessÂ
Sometimes referred to as portable vacuum cleaners, cordless vacuums are lightweight alternatives to upright models. They’re ideal for
all floor types—from long, shaggy carpeting to tile floors. Perfect for quick spills and messes, they"re also convenient for spot cleaning when Fido tracks in dirt. Portable vacuums are also great to keep in the car, RV or at the office.Â
Cordless cleaners are versatile, allowing you to access small areas like under the couch. Clean the stairs safely without lugging a heavy machine around. You can also use them in places that machines with cords can’t reach such as tall bookshelves and draperies.
Choosing a VacuumÂ
Some vacuum cleaners are widely known, like the powerful and compact
Black & Decker cordless model. Still others are more specialized, offering stain removal, a quick-charged battery or features for pet owners. Also, look for attachments for cleaning upholstery and tight crevices. Review our
