Cordless vacuum cleaners are a great addition to any household. With these gadgets, you’ll never have to fumble with a long extension cord again. One of the most important things to consider when shopping for cordless vacuums is the battery life – generally, the bigger the space, the longer runtime you want. Weight and ergonomics also matter, particularly if you have lots of nooks and crannies around your home.

Bing Lee's Top Pick: LG CordZero Handstick Vacuum Cleaner

In this day and age, who has time to keep the house in order? Enter the robot vacuum, taking the world by storm one dust particle at a time. Similar to cordless vacs, you want to consider your robot’s battery life, but there’s more to consider before purchasing. Make sure the vacuum you choose is compatible with your home’s flooring and has good navigation features to clean your home most efficiently. And for even more convenience, why not look for a model with smart features like app control and remote scheduling?

Bing Lee's Top Pick: ECOVACS Deebot N20 Pro Robot Vacuum

Looking to keep the house clean, but your pet won’t get the message? Sounds like you need a vacuum cleaner designed specifically for pet messes, and luckily there are plenty to choose from. We recommend going for a model with strong suction power, as well as specialised pet brushes that prevent hair from clogging up the machine. A high-quality filtration system – specifically, a HEPA filter – is also worth looking for, especially if allergies are an issue in your home. Check out Bing Lee’s Pet Vacuums online or in-store.

Bing Lee's Top Pick: Shark Stratos Cordless Pet Pro Vacuum

On a budget but need to stay on top of your household cleaning? Affordable doesn’t have to mean low quality. If you’re on the hunt for a good yet cheap vacuum cleaner, prioritise features like decent suction power, a good filtration system (HEPA, if possible), and a solid battery life. Looking for a vac that can clean carpets and hard floors is also a good idea so you can clean each room seamlessly.

Bing Lee's Top Pick: Electrolux Pure C9 Origin Iron Grey

Q. WHICH CORDLESS VACUUM CLEANERS HAVE THE LONGEST BATTERY LIFE?

Higher-end models from brands like Dyson typically feature powerful batteries designed to last longer, with run times of 40 to 120 minutes on one charge. However, there are also more affordable options with 30 to 60 run times, particularly from brands like Bosch or Shark.

Q. WHAT VACUUM CLEANERS ARE SUITABLE FOR HARDWOOD FLOORS OR CARPETS?

Most vacuum cleaners work on all types of floors. Cordless vacuums, robot vacuums, stick vacuums, and handheld vacuums all work well on hardwood floors and carpets. You can check out our range of hard floor cleaners online or speak to our friendly staff in store at Bing Lee.

Q. WHICH VACUUM BRANDS OFFER EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE AND WARRANTY?

When it comes to vacuum cleaner warranties, it is standard across most brands, including Shark, Miele, Electrolux, Bissel and Dyson, to offer a 2-year warranty period. Across most brands, you can add an extra year of warranty for an additional fee. Additionally, when it comes to excellent customer service, Dyson is renowned for its useful services.

Q. ARE THERE SMART OR ROBOTIC VACUUM CLEANERS WORTH CONSIDERING?

If you are short on time and find vacuuming a chore, robotic vacuum cleaners are worth considering. They are great for keeping the house looking and feeling fresh by keeping dust, debris and pet hair off the floors without the hassle of vacuuming yourself.
