Ditch the cord and suck it up with these great cordless vacuums

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.
