*Review of the best according to the editors. About the selection criteria. This material is subjective, not an advertisement and does not serve as a guide to purchase. Before buying, it is necessary to consult with a specialist.

We decided to devote this review to cordless vertical vacuum cleaners. This type of home appliances rapidly entered the Russian market and conquered many users. While these vacuum cleaners were originally designed as accessories, many modern manufacturers are positioning their models as complete alternatives to traditional bag or cyclone vacuum cleaners for dry vacuuming.

For our rating we have selected 10 best cordless vacuum cleaners from well-known domestic and foreign manufacturers. The main criteria for selection were not only brand recognition, build quality, functionality, practicality and innovation, but also the way this or that vacuum cleaner behaves directly in the operation. For this we used reviews of real users and other information published on the sites of manufacturers, on popular resources like Yandex.Market, otziv- and other public sources.

The specific location of the model in the rating is conditional and can in no way be used as a priority of one vacuum cleaner over another. For your convenience, we have decided to publish models with costs in ascending order.

Regardless of the specific product, each vacuum cleaner from our rating is considered the best in its price range and product group, as it has unique features that analogues do not have.

How to choose a cordless vacuum cleaner

When choosing a cordless upright vacuum cleaner should be guided by the following criteria:

1. Battery life.
2. Accessories .
3. Functionality.
4. Additional useful options.

Standalone operation time– one of the key parameters for a cordless vacuum cleaner, which allows you to understand approximately how much area you can clean in a single charge. This figure depends on three factors – the battery capacity, the economy of the motor and the mode of operation. Most vacuum cleaners have two modes of operation – standard and amplified (increased power). The declared battery life in the passport of the product should be divided by about 2, to understand how long the vacuum cleaner will work at maximum power. Maximum autonomy is achieved by combination of powerful battery, economical motor and using vacuum cleaner on minimal power. In some models, the vacuum cleaner can run for more than 1 hour in this mode.

For most cordless vacuum cleanersstandard package– It is a basic turbo brush (aerostatic or motorized) and several additional attachments (crevice brush, for upholstered furniture). Some manufacturers offer an expanded configuration, which can be supplemented with a mini turbo brush, as well as other special attachments that provide effective cleaning in hard-to-reach places.

Almost all cordless vacuum cleaners are designed for dry cleaning, but some manufacturers offer devices that can clean wet floors. It is difficult to call it a full-fledged washing, but a healthy effect from the humidified air and cleaner floors are guaranteed. The cost of models “2-in-1” will be much higher than analogues for dry cleaning.

There are a lot of additional useful options that will help you to cope with the cleaning faster and more efficiently. For example, the flexible arm helps you get to the dust beneath your chair without bending down, while the LED-lighting of the brush lets you see even the smallest debris. Indicators of current charge level will help to visually monitor the operation of the vacuum cleaner, and the touch-sensitive digital control on the handle will allow you to conveniently manage the workflow.

Correctly picked up a cordless upright vacuum cleaner will be an excellent assistant in an apartment or private home. It can easily cope with small debris, dust, pet hair, and even with dust mites, providing a clean and hygienic cleaning.

ps FC6169/01

Rating: 4.7

The Philips FC6169/01 model from the famous Dutch manufacturer of home appliances continues the review of wireless vacuum cleaners. Manufactured in China, with 2 years factory warranty under Philips DAP concept (international one-stop-shop service, meaning replacement of the entire product in case of failure).

The vacuum cleaner is in the “mop” form factor, which distinguishes it from the previously discussed models in terms of appearance. The device has a number of innovative solutions that distinguish it from counterparts from other manufacturers.

With the 4th generation Power Cyclone technology, the manufacturer achieves consistently high suction power, no matter how full the bin is, for the best cleaning performance throughout the cleaning cycle.

New motorized brush

The iActive Turbo effectively removes dirt and hair from everything from tile and linoleum to carpets. It also comes with a mini turbo brush for effectively cleaning up upholstered furniture from all kinds of debris, including pet hair.

The 18V lithium-ion battery is compact and lightweight, which reduces the overall weight of the vacuum cleaner, and its large capacity allows for up to 40 minutes of autonomous cleaning on a single charge.

Many owners of the equipment speak positively about the power of the vacuum cleaner, its practicality and functionality. Deserves special attention complete the model and ergonomic design of the handle. Among the drawbacks, some respondents mentioned low power and excessive noise at maximum speed. Please understand that all upright vacuum cleaners are designed as an extra helper in the home, and can not compete with standard models.

Thoughtful design, high efficiency nozzles, easy to clean container and good autonomy allowed the Philips FC6169/01 vacuum cleaner to take one of the leading positions in our rating.

Advantages

• Stable, requires no wall support.
• Good equipment package.
• Both power driven turbo brushes.
• Stable suction power during the whole cleaning period.

Disadvantages

Tefal TY9472

Rating: 4.7

The next vacuum cleaner model in our review is the Tefal TY9472 from the famous French manufacturer of home appliances. The model is made in China, and the manufacturer provides a two-year warranty.

The fundamental difference of this model from all the vacuum cleaners, considered earlier in our rating, is the presence of a flexible tube that allows you to clean under the couch, chairs and other hard-to-reach places without bending down, which is very convenient and practical. This is made possible thanks to the FLEX technology, which makes it possible to bend the pipe in the “knee” at the desired angle.

The second feature is the suction power. Given that there is no unified system to measure this parameter, many manufacturers operate in two ways – or write their own indicators, by which an ordinary user can not understand how powerful the vacuum cleaner will be, or do not write anything. Tefal experts claim that their method of measuring suction power is the most honest and transparent. According to our own tests, the real suction power at the inlet of the nozzle is 100 aeration watts.

The lithium-ion battery allows you to work independently in standard mode for 35 minutes, which is enough to clean an average-sized apartment.

In addition to the standard power level, the vacuum cleaner has a mode “Boost”, which is activated by pressing the appropriate button on the back of the body. As a result, the suction power increases to a maximum, but the power consumption is 2 times higher.

Power-assisted main brush has bright LED backlight to make even the smallest debris visible.

Owners are complimentary about the unconventional and very user-friendly design, backlight, ease of operation, and high suction power. Consumers did not find critical disadvantages, but some users talk about discomfort caused by the warm air jet from the motor, which is directed directly at a person during cleaning. Side airflow could easily solve the problem.

We recommend the Tefal TY9472 vacuum cleaner because of its original flexible design, good equipment and high cleaning efficiency, especially in hard-to-reach places.

Advantages

• The flexible hose FLEX.
• LED-lighting.
• High suction power.
• Boost mode.

Disadvantages

• The warm air from the motor gets right in your face while cleaning (according to user reviews).

KARCHER VC 5 Cordless

Rating: 4.8

Our review continues with the compact cordless vacuum cleaner KARCHER VC 5 Cordless from the German manufacturer of household and professional cleaning equipment. Vacuum cleaner is made in Italy and is covered by an official factory warranty. Well-developed network of service centers throughout Russia allows to solve all the issues with service and repair equipment without any problems.

This model is one of the most unusual among all vacuum cleaners in our review. Unlike most analogues, the KARCHER VC 5 Cordless does not disassemble into two parts (a compact vacuum cleaner and a tube with nozzles), but comes in a single package. Inside the model built a triple telescopic tube with a patented transformation system that allows you to turn a compact handheld vacuum cleaner in a full-fledged device for cleaning floors and vertical surfaces in the apartment, home or office.

The next unique feature of the model is a special mount, which allows the vacuum cleaner to maintain a stable position. For this purpose, there are a pair of magnets on the bottom of the body and on the brush, which fix the model vertically, which is very convenient.

Another feature of the model – a unique design of the dust container. It is located on the side of the body and slides out to the side, instead of opening downward like most others. This automatically cleans the filter when the container is opened and the compacted debris simply falls out of the container. All components, including HEPA filter, are washable under water, which is very convenient.

It has three different speeds, so you can choose the optimal power level depending on the type of surface or flooring. The package includes a standard universal brush (the vacuum cleaner is not equipped with a turbo-brush, as most analogues), crevice nozzle and a brush for upholstered furniture. In addition, the manufacturer offers a special brush for parquet and laminate with natural bristles, which ensures gentle care for the flooring.

The real owners of appliances note the unusual design, European quality and all the advantages of advanced German technology, as well as well thought-out design and high cleaning efficiency. Critical disadvantages were not found, but some consumers point out the difficulties of cleaning under armchairs, sofa and other furniture.

Original design, perfect German engineering, high quality of assembling and efficient operation allowed KARCHER VC 5 Cordless vacuum cleaner to become one of the leaders not only in our rating. But also in its price range.

Advantages

• Triple telescopic tube.
• Unique body design.
• Self-cleaning filters.
• 3 modes of operation.

Disadvantages

• Not very convenient to clean under furniture (according to users).

ps FC6728/01 SpeedPro Aqua

Rating: 4.8

The distinctive feature of this vacuum cleaner is its Wet-Clean mode, which makes it a unique solution for complete all-in-one care for your home or apartment. For wet cleaning, just pour water into the reservoir and position it over the nozzle. A special technology feature is that the system independently controls the flow of water or detergent solution. If you need to wash tough dirt, just press the “boost” pedal with your foot and the flow of liquid will increase. The damp microfiber cloth effectively removes dirt and wipes hard surface floors (tile, porcelain stoneware, stone) dry.

One tank fill is enough for regular wet mopping up to 60 m2.

Most owners of the equipment speak positively about the design of the model, the ease of operation, and the presence of a nozzle for wet cleaning. Among the negatives are reviews about low power and the fact that sand falls out of the container during cleaning. It is desirable to notice, that all kinds of wireless vertical vacuum cleaners initially developed as the additional equipment which purpose – maintenance of cleanliness, but not carrying out general cleaning in strongly dirty premises.

Advantages of

• Wet mopping mode.
• Dry brush with 180 degree dust extraction.
• Stylish design, easy operation.
