Because cordless vacuums rely on battery power rather than electric outlets, we’ve taken care to select machines that stand out for their long battery life. If you have a large home, you’ll want to pay special attention to this. Don’t forget to consider other factors such as weight and accessories, and be sure to select a model that is designed for the floors in your home, whether you have hardwood carpet, or both. Here are our favorite cordless vacuums.
