Cordless vacuum cleaners bring us lots of benefits. But do you know how to use them properly and maximise their effectiveness? Don’t worry, this article will help you better understand cordless vacuum cleaners and maximize your usage experience.
Understanding cordless vacuum cleaners
A cordless vacuum cleaner is designed with multiple components that work together to deliver powerful suction and versatile cleaning across different surfaces:
- Battery
Cordless stick vacuum cleaners rely on a rechargeable battery, typically a high-capacity lithium battery, to provide consistent power during cleaning sessions. This battery ensures freedom of movement without being restricted by cords.
-
Motor
The motor drives both the suction and, in some models, a spinning mop function. A powerful cordless vacuum motor ensures effective dust and debris pickup on carpets, hard floors, and even pet hair carpets.
-
Filter
Most cordless vacuums come equipped with HEPA filtration, which separates air from dust and allergens. This feature helps capture dust and debris effectively, making it suitable for allergy-prone users.
-
Easy Emptying
Cordless vacuums are designed with a convenient dustbin for easy emptying. A single click of a button allows users to empty dust and debris without making a mess. Some models, like the Roborock H5, also offer a dustbag option for hassle-free disposal.
-
Different Attachments
Cordless stick vacuum cleaners offer various attachments for cleaning different surfaces. These may include a cleaner head for carpets, a crevice tool for tight spaces, and a brushroll for pet hair on upholstery. Users can easily switch between attachments to clean floors, furniture, and even car interiors.
-
Body
The main body of a cordless vacuum cleaner houses the battery, motor, and control panel. It is designed to be lightweight and easy to maneuver, making it suitable for quick cleaning tasks or deep cleaning around the home.
-
Control Panel
The control panel allows users to adjust settings, switch modes, and monitor battery runtime. This can include buttons for power, a screen to display battery life, and other cleaning options.
-
Charger
A cordless vacuum comes with a charging base or charger to recharge the battery. This ensures that the vacuum is always ready for the next cleaning session. For convenience, some models are wall-mountable, keeping the vacuum within reach.
Differences between Cordless and Wired Vacuum Cleaners
Driving force
Cordless vacuum cleaners are powered by batteries, while wired ones rely on main power.
Weight
Cordless vacuum cleaners are generally lighter than their wired counterparts and are easier to operate. For instance, the Roborock H5 weighs only 1.55 kilograms, making it easy to handle and reducing strain on your wrist.
Cleaning range
Cordless vacuum cleaners offer greater flexibility and can clean areas without access to an electrical outlet.
Suction
Corded vacuums don't have a working time limit and you'll never have to worry about its battery life. However, cordless vacuum cleaners are sufficient for almost all household cleaning scenarios. The Roborock H5, for example, has a suction power of 158 AW with a battery runtime of 60 minutes.
Preparations Before Using a Cordless Vacuum Cleaner
Before you start using your cordless vacuum cleaner, make sure it's ready for an efficient cleaning session. Proper preparation not only improves cleaning performance but also extends the lifespan of your device. Whether you’re tackling hardwood floors, carpets, or bare floors, these simple steps will help you get the best out of your versatile vacuum.
Charge
Make sure your cordless vacuum cleaner is fully charged before use. This guarantees longer cleaning sessions without interruptions. Models like the Roborock H5 offer two convenient charging options: using the charging dock or direct cable charging. A fully charged Roborock H5 can run for up to 60 minutes, making it suitable for quick cleanups or thorough cleaning around the home.
Examination
Inspect your cordless vacuum cleaner before each use. Check the filter and dustbin to ensure they are clean and ready for use. A clean filter improves suction power, while an empty dustbin allows for uninterrupted cleaning. The Roborock H5 features a one-button emptying mechanism, making it easy to clean the dustbin with a single click.
Make way for vacuum to move around
Create enough space for your vacuum to move around. Move furniture or small items that could block the vacuum’s path. This prevents unnecessary physical effort and protects your vacuum from damage caused by small objects like toys or pens. A clear area ensures better cleaning results and allows your cordless vacuum to navigate freely.
