Cordless Vacuums

Cordless Vacuum FAQs:

Q: Which cordless vacuum has the strongest suction?

A: Suction power determines how well your vacuum will pick up everything from bread crumbs to fine pet hairs or table dust. Pick a vacuum cleaner that provides strong airflow and battery-life, like the 2023 Better Homes & Gardens Clean House Award Winner, POWERSERIES™ Extreme™ 20V MAX* Cordless Stick Vacuum. (*Maximum initial battery voltage (measured without a workload) is 20 volts. Nominal voltage is 18 volts.)

Q: What is the difference between a cordless vacuum and a cordless stick vacuum?

A: Cordless vacuums are lightweight and easy to maneuver. When coupled with a strong battery, you get a powerful engine, airflow and suction. A cordless stick vacuum has a long handle, making it easy to use on floors, without bending and stooping. Look for models with LED lights on the base to help you see what needs to be cleaned, such as the award winning POWERSERIES™ Extreme™ 20V MAX* Cordless Stick Vacuum. The stick design will allow the vacuum to reach into hard-to-reach corners or under furniture and may come with a wall-mounted accessory.  Many cordless vacuums are non-stick versions, such as handheld dustbusters by BLACK+DECKER®.

Q: Do cordless vacuums work well?

A: Cordless vacuums are powerful weapons in the war on dirt. Having evolved over the years, you’ll find modern cordless vacuums to have strong airflow and suction power, making them very nimble and effective cleaners that work well on different floor types and have anti-tangle brush bars, special nozzles, or crevice tools. BLACK+DECKER® offers an impressive 20-volt lithium-ion battery powered POWERSERIES™ cordless vacuum. It packs a punch and is powerful enough to tackle most everyday jobs, including pet hair, everyday dust, dry spills, and dirt. The POWERSERIES™ Extreme™ 20V MAX* Cordless Stick Vacuum offers 55 minutes of runtime and 3 speed control.

Q: Are stick vacuums as good as other vacuums?

A: Modern stick vacuums are perfect for everyday cleaning on carpet, tiles, wood, and more. Powerful cordless stick vacuums such as the POWERSERIES™ Extreme™ 20V MAX* Cordless Stick Vac are packed with high voltage and feature long running times, making it a top pick. The lightweight, bagless feature and washable debris canister make cleaning fast and easy. Corded vacuums have the advantage of virtually unlimited running time, since they run off electricity. They will be heavier than a cordless option and may require special cleaning processes for dirt collection vestibules and/or filters.

Q: What stick vacuum is best for seniors?

A:  The Summit Series features a bagless easy-to-empty debris chamber, allowing seniors to dispose of dirt without the hassle of bags. This dustbin is designed for quick and mess-free emptying, making it a practical choice for everyday use. Additionally, the HEPA filtration system captures allergens, promoting a healthier living environment.

For pet owners, the pet hair version of this Cordless Vacuum Cleaner includes anti-tangle technology, which prevents hair from clogging the brush roll. This feature is particularly beneficial for managing pet hair on various surfaces, ensuring a smooth cleaning experience.

Another great feature is the built-in LED lights that illuminate dark areas, making it easier to clean under furniture and in corners. The edge-to-edge cleaning feature ensures that no dirt is left behind, providing a comprehensive clean every time.

The Summit Series also converts easily into a handheld vacuum, making it perfect for quick clean-ups or tackling tight spaces with the included crevice tool. This versatility is especially useful for seniors who may need to clean various surfaces without the bulk of a traditional upright vacuum.

With a solid battery life, this cordless vacuum provides ample cleaning time without frequent recharging.
