2. Let's find out the 5 best cordless vacuum cleaners of 2020

Let's find out together, in detail, the 5 best cordless vacuum cleaners of 2020: we're sure you'll find the right one for you!

2.1 DYSON V8

Although it is a rather important investment as it does not fall within the budget range devices, the Dyson V8 has earned a place in the top 5 of the best cordless vacuum cleaners of the year. The structure is compact, light and easy to handle, making it suitable for every user. It is a 2 in 1 vacuum cleaner, with two suction levels. There are also two brushes supplied, one for hard floors and one for carpets and rugs, which guarantee optimal cleaning of each surface. The 0.5l tank is not among the most capacious, but the latest generation HEPA filters leave no way out even for the smallest dust particle. The picture is completed by the excellent battery life (up to 40 minutes at minimum power, without compromising performance) and the kit of accessories included, perfect for every need, from that for delicate surfaces, to parquet, to that for pet hair. animals. A certainty!

2.2 BOSCH UNLIMITED SERIES 8

The highlight of the BOSCH UNLIMITED SERIES 8 cordless vacuum cleaner is its potentially unlimited duration because it has, not one, but two batteries! With a duration of approximately one hour, the possibility of changing the battery guarantees maximum performance. Recharging will no longer be a problem and that is why we have selected it for you. Moreover, thanks to the quick charge system, the battery is ready in just 60 minutes! If you also own other Bosch devices, you can use them with the same battery. Super practical, right? Even if the tank is not as large as that of other appliances in the category (only 0.4l), the super efficient brushes and the accessory kit make it a cordless vacuum cleaner suitable for any surface, from hard floors to fabrics. Thanks to the double filter, a Cartridge with PureAir membrane and a Hygienic filter, then, 99.99% of the dust is captured and the air quality is guaranteed. Not among the lightest and most compact, but its quality is definitely worth trying!

2.3 PHILIPS XC7042/01

The 360° brush of the Philips XC7042/01 cordless vacuum cleaner, which captures dust on every surface and with every movement and on every surface (even on the walls!), is enough by itself to earn it a place among the best appliances in the 'year. But that's not all: thanks to the innovative front LEDs it is possible to identify every single speck of dust, for guaranteed impeccable cleaning. Also, the battery life is great: up to 65 minutes. The capacity of the tank is good, 0.6l, and the innovative container empties easily without creating those annoying clouds of dust. It transforms into a handy vacuum cleaner and, thanks to the kit of brushes and accessories supplied, allows you to reach even the most difficult points. A real gem suitable even for the most demanding!

2.4 ULTENIC U11

With 3 adjustable power levels, the Ultenic U11 2-in-1 cordless vacuum cleaner is a really good find. Light and easy to handle, it has a good level of autonomy and record recharging times: just a couple of hours! Equipped with two brushes, one for hard surfaces and one anti-mite, it fully satisfies every need. There are also two accessories, a spear nozzle and a round brush with bristles. Thanks to the latest generation HEPA filters and a front LED light to identify even the most hidden dirt, it guarantees impeccable cleaning. Thanks to the touch display, it is possible to monitor the power level and the battery status. We chose it because, with all these features, it is a concentrate of technology at an excellent price: take a look at it!

2.5 HOOVER FD22RP011

The strength of the Hoover FD22RP011 cordless vacuum cleaner is undoubtedly its handling: weighing only 2.3 kg, it is among the lightest in its category. Although it has only one power level, it is possible to lock the trigger for continuous suction, even in vacuum cleaner mode. The tank is large: 0.7l, the largest among the appliances in our selection. The brushes supplied make it suitable for every cleaning need, but in particular for the owners of medium-long haired dogs and cats: it vacuums everything! The only drawback is perhaps represented by the battery life, only 25 minutes, and by rather long recharging times (but it is not the only one). It still deserves a place in the ranking for its lightness, it's really suitable for everyone!

3. How to choose the best cordless vacuum cleaner?

Even with the support of our suggestions, we know that choosing the cordless vacuum cleaner that best suits your needs is certainly not easy.

Whether it's a long-term investment or a slightly cheaper appliance, it's important to make a careful choice that allows us to remain satisfied over time. Precisely for this reason, our advice is to carefully analyze your needs before making an impulsive purchase. In particular, it is good to evaluate:

• The type of surface to be cleaned
• The size of the room
• The kind of dirty
• The need for accessories.

These are the key factors to consider when choosing a cordless vacuum cleaner. Knowing what type of surface we have to treat, in fact, is essential to choosing the appliance with the right brush, just as to clean a large space you will need a cordless vacuum cleaner with satisfactory autonomy, which does not discharge right in the middle of the cleaning. Finally, the supplied accessories allow us to carry out a deep cleaning of all types of dirt, whether they are crumbs, dust or animal hair, in every corner of the house.
