Cordless vacuum cleaners are the easiest way to keep your home clean, giving you grab and go portability without having to faff around with plugs. Thanks to recent advances in technology, cordless cleaners now come in a wide range of shapes and sizes, designed to suit all kinds of users and jobs. With the power and battery life on offer, you can even buy models suitable for whole home cleaning, so that you don’t even need a traditional plug-in vacuum cleaner any more. We know the Pure Cordless isn’t cheap. That’s because it’s built for a purpose, not to a price. In a category that wants to sell you The Next Big Thing every other season, the Pure Cordless is unfashionably long lasting. The Pure Cordless Vacuum cleaner is proud to be durable with easily replaceable parts and every feature to the highest possible specification for long-lasting ownership. Key to this model’s success is the new anti-tangle floor head (and pet tool). It’s the first time that we’ve seen this technology on Hoover’s products, and it works brilliantly. We tested using long human hair and cat hair, and neither strands got tangled around the heads.

Best cordless vacuum cleaners 2023: top vacuums for pets

Performance is exceptional: clean sweeps in our carpet, edge, pet hair and hard floor tests, all used with the standard Mid setting. There isn’t a battery indicator here to portray how much charge is left, which at this price, is a minor issue. A 0.1 litre bin is fine considering this cleaner is designed for smaller jobs, but the emptying process is a little fiddly given the mess it may create if not done properly. In terms of power, we measured the mid-power mode at 99AW, which is at the top of what we’d expect from a cordless model. Turbo mode came in at 281AW: that’s true plug-in power, although you’ll only get around 10-minutes of battery life, so use this mode sparingly. This vacuum cleaner has the new DuoClean floor head, with an improved anti-tangle design. In our testing, we didn’t see any hair wrapped around the floor head. It’s good to see the Anti-Odour pod, too, which releases a scent as you vacuum. It left our house smelling as good as it looked.The cleaner we reviewed came with a motorised floor brush, a 2-in-1 crevice tool and brush, an upholstery brush and a mini-motorised pet tool that worked wonders on stairs and sofas; you can buy the none-pet version that doesn’t have this tool, although it’s a useful addition for upholstery. It’s a shame that there’s no storage for these tools. Max vs standard run time Higher-powered cleaning settings can drastically cut battery life to as little as seven minutes. For homes kitted out solely with hard floors, the Dyson Omni-glide is the best,with two soft brush bars that ensures you get the job done faster than ever without damaging the hard flooring. Battery life is around 30 minutes on medium power, which should see you get through most of a house clean, given the power on offer. There’s a removable battery, so technically you could buy a second one if you wanted to extend run time.

It only takes two hours to charge but its battery life (two are included) varied in use – it lasted 19 minutes moving between speeds and surfaces, while on its lowest setting it lasted for over an hour. The digital battery display will keep you informed though. So so disappointed it absolutely rubbish regards use on carpets, okish on hard floors. Avoid if you have pets and a cat/dog or both! Total waste of money

Dyson's latest vacuum cleaner really is its best yet and one of the very best cordless vacuum on the market, hands down. It may be expensive but with better cleaning performance and suction power than the Dyson V11, and the same long-lasting battery for the same price tag, it's worth every penny. This cordless vacuum cleaner from Vax gets our vote for use inside the home and outside in the car. It comes with a suite of attachments and has an impressive battery life of up to 90 minutes, meaning that even if you have parked down the road you'll have plenty of juice to see you through the clean. We measured the vacuum cleaner’s raw power. On Eco mode, it came in at 25AW, which is weak; 66AW in Performance mode is better, although towards the bottom end of the range that we’d expect; 185AW in Boost mode puts this cleaner towards the top end of the expected range. At 2.4kg, this vacuum cleaner is super light. Unlike its big brother, there’s no trigger here, just a single power button to turn the vacuum cleaner on and off. If you struggle with holding a trigger down, then this vacuum cleaner is for you.
