Does anyone here have a cordless Vac??  If so does it pick up as well as a Corded vac?  I like the idea of no cord but don't want to lose suction?  Appreciate any tips.

i have a cordless shark, that has been discontinued, and like it very much. It has a feature that will go from hard floors to carpet suctioning with a boost feature. the top part come off so it can be handheld. It last about 20+ mins. depending on what feature you are using. I would buy again.

 

My daughter had a dyson cordless and loves it. ? which model. She has two young kids, 2 dogs and a cat, so hers is probably more heavy duty, than mine. More $ too.

@BalletBabe @I bought one at Costco and it lost suction.  A Dirt Devil I think.

 

Edited to add it was a  lack and Decker.  @BalletBabe

I have an Air RAM cordless from Bissell. It's great! Been working beautifully for a couple of years! It boasts "fade-free suction across carpets, hard floors & area rugs."

@BalletBabe I have a Bissell cordless vac, and really like it! I have a Lab mix that sheds so much he should be bald, and the Bissell picks up his fur beautifully, along with dirt, cat hair and litter. I'm not sure what model it is. It also converts to a hand vac and has a couple of attachments--crevice tool and a brush.

 

The only downside is the length of a charge, it's only about 30 minutes. I solved that by dividing my house into zones, and vacuuming each on a different day...and you could probably do one zone in the morning and one in the afternoon, if you wanted, it charges pretty quickly.

 

I'm willing to put up with the short run time, though, because corded vacs are such a pain to me!

I have a Shark Freestyle Navigator I purchased here but no longer available on this site.  I did find it at Bed Bath and Beyond I liked it so much that I recently bought a second one.  Everything as mentioned here is great.  It does have a 20 minute run time.  Also Amazon has it at lower price.  Free s&h on both sites.

We have a Dyson V11 and we have a Cordless Shark, though I like the Shark because it is lighter weight I prefer the Dyson because it outcleans the shark on my carpeting. We have 4 cordless Dysons, one on each level of the house (one was in our motorhome that we no longer have). We have 13 cats so they get a work out! My favorite Dyson is the Omni-glide for hard floors, it's used a few times each day.

We have had a cordless Dyaon for years and love it.  We are two seniors with a kitty and spend much time in the kitchen and family room, as well as our three-season porch in the warmer weather.

 

Even though the time is rather short for vacuum time, you can move through your task very quickly.  I will never buy a corded vacuum again.  And our Dyson does a great job.

I bought the Hoover Linx. 

 

Must admit I am impressed with it. The battery lasts through all I want to clean. And I find I still have plenty of charge later when I use it.

 

And it does a good job cleaning up. I am so pleased that I bought it. Several vacuums have come and gone since I bought it. But the Hoover Linx is still going strong,


PS - I bought it because we babysat a collie for a year, that shed quite a bit. So I could just take out the vacuum and clean up any hair. Then we got another collie and it continued to do an excellent job. The battery lasted for about 2 weeks with daily use.
