How to Choose the Right Type of Cordless Vacuum:
From the get-go, vacuum cleaners are made to help you get rid of dirt and dust in every corner. Depending on your cleaning style and for what purposes would you like to use the vacuum, you might just save money if you have the right type of vacuum cleaner that'll give you enough flexibility and suction power.
These days, cordless vacuums are just as strong and efficient as traditional corded ones. For obvious reasons, cordless vacuums give you great mobility whereby it allows you to clean certain spots more efficiently than traditionally corded vacuums. With so many styles and designs, which do you go for?
Stick Cordless Vacuums
Designed to be nimble, stick vacuums are lightweight and easy to manoeuvre, making them great for quick cleanups. While they are not as strong in suction power compared to corded vacuums, they make up for it in manoeuvrability.
Most cordless stick vacuums have a long handle to allow for hard-to-reach areas under furniture and are designed to be used mainly on hard floors and low-pile carpets.
Pros:
- They usually have attractive designs
- Very easy to move around and clean the house with
- Decent battery life which has been optimised to handle a minimum of 1000 square feet of space
Cons:
- Many do not have strong enough power and suction to deep clean carpets or pick up large debris
Handheld Vacuums
Small and meant to be portable, handheld vacuums are great for spot cleaning or cleaning hard-to-reach areas like stairs, upholstery, and car interiors. While it is both lightweight and easy to store, due to its small size they are usually not powerful enough for larger cleaning jobs.
Pros:
- Small and lightweight
- Usually have sufficient runtime and suction for a quick cleaning session in small spaces
- Very affordable
Cons:
- Not for heavy-duty cleaning
2-in-1 Stick and Handheld Vacuums
As a unique hybrid, 2-in-1 vacuums are essentially handheld vacuums that offer you the option to switch between brush tools such as a longer nozzle to clean your floor. This makes them versatile and convenient. Unfortunately, they are usually not as strong as other vacuums and are suitable to clean lightly as portable vacuums for a home villa or a dorm room.
Pros:
- Nimble and flexible for cleaning multiple surfaces be it upholstery or floor
- Lightweight and affordable
Cons:
- Not for heavy-duty cleaning
Upright Vacuums
In general, upright vacuums are often sturdier versions of modern stick vacuums, and are also more powerful, making them perfect for deep cleaning carpets and handling larger debris. They also tend to have larger dustbins and longer battery life. In exchange, however, they can be heavier and less manoeuvrable.
Pros:
- Strong for deep cleaning multiple surfaces
- Durable battery and build quality
Cons:
- Heavy; may not be easy to move around with
Robot Vacuums
Generally, robot vacuums are self-operating devices that can navigate a cleaning space on their own. In our experience, they are great for maintaining clean floors, and with great suction when it comes to the more advanced robot vacuums.
However, they tend to be more expensive than other vacuum types. Because of their self-operating nature, they are also not able to help you spot clean unless the robot comes with a great mapping feature.
Pros:
- Suction can be as good as most budget and even advanced vacuum cleaners
- Self-operating system means they are great for regular maintenance of floors
- Perfect as an additional cleaning device if you already have a cleaning system at home
Cons:
- Due to their self-operating nature, they are not suitable for spot cleaning
Ultimately, the best type of cordless vacuum for you will depend on your cleaning needs as well as your cleaning style.
In Malaysia, most cordless vacuums advertised are meant to be able to clean hard floors such as tile and wood. So do look into if the vacuums also have additional tools such as a dustmite brush which can tackle fabric and upholstery.
Lastly, depending on your budget, you may only have enough for a certain type of vacuum, so do consider if you'd like to top up in exchange for convenience or otherwise.

Top 12 Cordless Vacuum Cleaners In Malaysia 2025
- Our Tried & Tested: ProductNation Reviews
Who is This For?
Pet owners and most homeowners, in general, would highly appreciate the Dyson V15 Detect for its strong suction and efficiency in achieving a quick clean-up. Besides suction, Dyson has also boosted the battery capabilities to offer 60 minutes of fade-free power to get your cleaning done and over with.
We do want to note that the vacuum might feel heavy when not in use, as it's heavier than most vacuums, being 3kg in weight. However, we didn't find this the case for us as the vacuum's head roller helped to alleviate weight distribution when pushed forward during cleaning.
For us at ProductNation, it also does not have a nice price tag to look at. We think it's worth the money and our time though the price is still very subjective for all of us. This is definitely a long-term investment and will depend on how much you use or want a vacuum for.
What to know
A powerful cleaning tool, the Dyson V15 Detect uses a laser to reveal any microscopic dust that are usually unseen to the human eyes. This laser can count and measure the size of dust particles, as well as show you what’s been sucked up on the screen.
Aside from its laser feature, the V15 Detect also has a fully-sealed filtration system which is further supported by Dyson’s Root Cyclone technology which consists of 14 scrolled cyclones that generate forces of up to 100,000g. What this does is avoid the loss of any suction in order to capture any dust and floating debris.
The vacuum comes with a total of 5 other head attachments to help tackle different cleaning situations, such as an Anti-tangle Conical Brush Bar for pet hair, a crevice tool as well as a Laser Slim Fluffy cleaner head for removing dust from hard floors and in narrow gaps respectively.
Key info
- Dyson Hyperdymium™ motor - spins up to 125,000rpm to suck up microscopic dust and large debris.
- Carbon fibre filaments - Black anti-static carbon fibre filaments that extract fine dust from hard floors.
- High Torque cleaner head with anti-tangle technology to clear short and long hair
"In Our Experience" - Live ProductNation Review
In a nutshell, the Dyson V15 Detect Absolute (our full review here) is deserving of its "smart" vacuum status in the sense that it is capable of automatically adjusting its power based on the different floor types or surfaces you're cleaning on, be it hardwood or carpet floors. Got a specific floor type that's tricky to clean? The vacuum will either boost the suction power or reduce it, as well as consider the dust amount.
When we compared it to the previous Dyson V12 and Digital Slim models we've tried, even the suction power on Dyson V15 Detect Absolute is noticeable, which we were kinda surprised by. Though not a heavy product, we could feel that the suction is so great, there's hardly any "loss" of suction when moving from surface to surface and cleaning the likes of a thick carpet or cushion.
This tells us how the Dyson Hyperdymium motor works, designed with Root Cyclone technology. Being able to generate a force of up to 100,000g, the V15 will is no doubt one of the strongest vacuums around due to its motor power combined with airflow caused by the cyclone technology to capture dust and debris effectively.
Check out below for more Dyson V15 Detect Absolute details:
Who is This For?
If you’re someone who thinks most stick vacuums are too heavy, this is one of the best lightweight and powerful stick vacuums you can get right now. With this, you’ll get a truly non-tiring cleaning experience thanks to its overall weight and handle design.
The MC-SB85KH047 is suitable for those who live in smaller homes or apartments as it has a good run time with the different modes. It’s also ideal for those who have pets and carpets around the house as the suction power and attachments are capable of cleaning it up with no problem.
What to know
For a one-stop solution to all your cleaning problems, consider Panasonic’s Powerful Cyclone Cordless Stick Vacuum Cleaner MC-SB85KH047 which allows you to easily clean quickly. With an advanced stainless steel cyclone design, it can vacuum stubborn dust and only expel clean air from the exhaust, ensuring dust and allergens won’t affect your health while cleaning!
Even if you’re concerned about hair getting tangled in the bristles, this vacuum gives you a tangle-free experience. This is thanks to the unique double conical brush, which causes hair and fur to move to the centre of the brush.
There’s also the Flat Crevice Nozzle, which is designed to freely according to the contour of surfaces, making it suitable for angled areas or under furniture.
Moreover, with an ion plate build, it can capture all the stubborn dust stuck to the floor by static electricity. The anti-bacterial brush can also remove up to 99% or more of the bacteria on wooden flooring.
Key info

- Fully washable dust box

- 3 Modes: Auto / High / Long
- Dust Capacity: 0.3L
- Run Time: Min 6 min / Max 85 min
- Charging Time: 3 hours
- Power: Rechargeable Lithium-ion battery
- Size: 253 × 193 × 1130 mm
- Weight: 2kg
"In Our Experience" - Live ProductNation Review
The very first thing we noticed right out of the box was how lightweight the Panasonic Cyclone Cordless Vacuum Cleaner MC-SB85KH047 was. Panasonic’s claim of this stick vacuum being lightweight was not an exaggeration, and this is also evident in the fact that using this vacuum was not tiring in the least.
For us, it was extremely easy to glide around the house with no issue, and when combined with the ergonomically designed grip? That eliminated the dreadful chore of tiring vacuuming almost immediately.
Another highlight of the Panasonic Cyclone Cordless Vacuum Cleaner MC-SB85KH047 was its 3 different power modes. We especially loved the “High” mode as it worked wonders to remove stubborn debris like pet fur from carpets. This also highlighted the running time and battery longevity of the vacuum, as “Long” mode gave us ample time for a regular clean-up throughout the entire house (about 1000 square feet).
The nozzle itself did indeed give us a tangle-free experience, as we had no trouble with tangled hair during vacuuming. However, clean-up can be tricky. The interior of the collection bin tended to catch a lot of the hair sucked up, and despite the use of the provided cleaning tool, we still ultimately had to reach in and untangle the debris in the collection bin.
Additionally, the dustbin capacity was able to fit in more dust than expected, which meant we did not have to empty it as often. We do want to note that when the bin is full, the vacuum might not suck up debris as well, and instead simply glides dust into a little ball. So maintenance and discipline to clear the bin is required from users, which is also highly recommended for all vacuums regardless.
Who is this for?
For the 500ml bin size and 45 minutes of run time, you can keep it in your car for several short runs before you'll need to empty the bin and charge it again. Compared to other smaller or mini vacuums for cars, the VC-22 offers double the time usage. Thus, it is the main reason why we highly recommend it for cars or even for small homes that needs a simple, budget-friendly machine to maintain cleanliness regularly.
What to know
Car vacuums are underrated; if you try to use most full-fledged vacuums for cars, you'll understand how difficult it is to navigate between tight spaces. Not to mention, these vacuums sometimes don't give us satisfactory performance, are pretty bulky and, at most times, not great in terms of battery power.
While the Russell Taylors Cordless Vacuum Cleaner VC-22 isn't advertised as a car vacuum, it is small enough to use in your car and in your house. The VC-22 is designed to have 19000Pa suction power with a 45 minutes battery life. It also has a good 500ml bin capacity which means you won't need to empty it too often. With 2 speed modes available, the VC-22 is a promising portable vacuum you can use whenever and wherever.
Key info
- Has a powerful 150-watt suction in MAX mode, sucking up dust, pet hairs on hardwood floor within minutes.
- Comes with a floor brush and a crevice tool for accessing small spaces
- Power: 130W
- Battery: 2200mAh ( Non Removable Battery )
- Rate Voltage: DC 22.2V
- Suction: 19Kpa
- Weight of Product: 2Kg
- Speed: 2 Speeds
- Cable: Wireless ( Rechargeable )
- Charge Time: 4-5 Hours ( Full Charged, Can use for 30 – 45 minutes )
- Plug: 2 Pin Plug
- Dust Container: 500ml
"In Our Experience" - Live ProductNation Review
Despite the plastic build, we found the VC-22 to be pretty durable in its build quality, light enough to use for a while at 2kg, and easy to move around too. Out of the many vacuums we've reviewed, this one does not have a charging stand. Still, that's a small con for us when you compare this product to other similarly priced albeit smaller vacuums.
Luckily for Rusell Taylor, they've made the VC-22 have an extendable hose to which you can attach the floor brush, enabling you to clean smaller spaces like your car comfortably or extend it to clean your floor. Note that the product is shorter than usual, so tall people might not find it as comfortable for the floor.
The product runs loud, but is not annoying enough for us to dismiss it. It's also important to mention that the brush head doesn’t utilise microfibre material to trap dirt efficiently. Still, the suction is good enough to clear away most dirt.
Other features we liked were the point and shoot bin which makes it easy to throw away rubbish.
Who is this for?
If you're someone who's always pressed for time, especially if you micro-clean a lot and you have pets or children in the house, the Dyson V12s Detect Slim Submarine will be your best friend.
Easy to clean and operate; while the vacuum was a little heavier than expected (for a 3.1kg product), it helps that the roller brushes are self-rotating which exerts the right pressure to clean and vacuum your floor.
We must say that to get the cleanest floor possible without using detergent with the Submarine, it's better to vacuum first followed by mopping, which you might have to be smart about in cleaning efficiently without using excess battery.
What to know
The Dyson V12s Detect Slim Submarine is a powerful cordless vacuum that comes with several head attachments to help you clean every nook and cranny in your home. Especially with the help of its iconic Fluffy Optic head which utilises a laser light to detect invisible micro dust, you can efficiently target dirtier spots and stains.
Supported by a fifth-generation Dyson Hyperdymium motor, it delivers powerful suction to trap dirt with a fully sealed, whole-machine HEPA filtration system, engineered to capture 99.99% of particles down to 0.1 microns. For clarity, the motor is capable of delivering 262 air watts of suction.
Meanwhile, the Submarine head has a clean water tank capacity of 300ml, which has been designed to cover up to 110m2 of flooring. There's also a dirty water tank of 360ml which traps and prevents dirt or debris from being transferred back onto the floor.
Key info
- Suction: 262 air watts
- 3 Modes: Boost / Auto / Eco
- Clean Water Tank: 300ml
- Dirty Water Tank: 360ml
- Area Coverage: 110m2
- Noise 78dB
- Battery: n/a
- Power: n/a
- Runtime: 60mins
- Charging Time: 3.5 hours
- Size: 111.2 x 27.0 x 19.1 cm
- Weight: 3.1kg
"In Our Experience" - Live ProductNation Review
Many 2-in-1 vacuum mops save time and energy, but they require a lot more care and discipline to clean since they will suck up dust while mopping at the same time, thus causing more dirt clumps to go into the dirty water tank. If you find that uncomfortable to clean, you'll want to look at the Dyson V12s Detect Slim Submarine which has a mop head that separates dirty water and dirt debris.
Rest assured that this mop is easy to use. Initially, we were expecting slight resistance when the mop is pushed onto our tile floor. As Dyson has made the roller brush to be self-rotating, this lets us glide over the floor effortlessly, almost as if we were not really mopping the floor. If we can help you visualise it, mopping with the Submarine felt as if we were just pushing a cloth over a slippery floor.
The Submarine uses a combination of hydration, absorption, and extraction technologies to clean hard floors without oversaturating the surface with moisture. How this happens is that Dyson has engineered the roller head, which is made from microfibre, to absorb the right amount of moisture (from the clean water tank) for floor-mopping once it's been activated. This action should take anywhere from 30 seconds to 1 minute before you can start mopping the floor.
While the clean water tank allows you to add in detergent, we reviewed our unit with just clean water right after vacuuming the floor. We can safely say that without exerting any pressure exerted, we could feel that even invisible stains were gone.
Cleaning was easy too, as you can detach the roller brush to clean it under running water or with some soap, though you have to be careful when taking out the dirty water tank as it's not enclosed with an additional cap.
Who is this for?
In short, the Xiaomi TrueClean W10 Pro has good cleaning performance and would suit users who want to do multiple regular cleaning in a week. Similarly, those who want to quickly get floor-cleaning done and over with would like this vacuum. Overall, it is perfect for regular mopping & cleaning maintenance from time to time in a week.
Its best features are that the vacuum is easy to maintain and use, with instructional labels all over it as well as has a reliable self-cleaning function. While the vacuum has a less-than-desired battery performance, cleaning can be done in a short amount of time, especially when your floor only requires minimal upkeeping.
Though, we do have to say that the vacuum is not able to tackle stubborn stains, but can keep your floor squeaky clean and comfortable so that you can sleep on it.
What to know
If you've always disliked the idea of your tools vacuuming and mopping simultaneously, you can consider the Trueclean W10 Pro by Xiaomi. FYI this vacuum doesn't allow you to use the wet or dry function independently from each other, but it gets cleaning done fast. Users will have the choice to choose between 3 cleaning modes: Max, Standard and Auto.
Interestingly, the latter allows the vacuum to efficiently use its battery to determine the right suction for cleaning since some spots can collect more stubborn dirt, such as in carpets. Together with its in-built dirt analysis tool, one will find the vacuum cleaner to be a good deep-cleaning tool for stains and such.
Designed to cover a space as big as 280sqm, the vacuum has a clean and dirty water capacity of 850ml and 600ml, respectively. A small downside? It has a battery runtime averaging to 35 minutes only.
Key info
- Suction: 13000Pa
- 3 Modes: Max / Standard / Auto
- Clean Water Tank: 850ml
- Dirty Water Tank: 600ml
- Area Coverage: 280sqm
- Noise 78dB
- Battery: 5000mAh
- Power: 260W
- Runtime: 35mins
- Charging Time: 4hrs
- Size: 111.2 x 27.0 x 19.1 cm
- Weight: 5.1kg
"In Our Experience" - Live ProductNation Review
For us, the vacuum was a little taxing but otherwise, easy to assemble together at first glance. Besides a manual, there will also be instruction labels on the product to ensure you use the vacuum correctly. Note that the vacuum doesn't run if no water is deposited into the 850ml clean water tank. It is also recommended to empty the 600ml dirty water tank.
A great thing about using the TrueClean W10 Pro vacuum as it is easy to understand and use right away. You'd just need to navigate between a few simple one-press buttons to activate the product, as well as switch between cleaning modes or activate the self-cleaning button.
There's, however, something we can't get used to, and that is the vacuum's weight which is on the heavier side. Thankfully, the vacuum's still fairly easy to manoeuvre around with and can pick up almost every debris off the floor, so cleaning is done very fast. In our test, we were able to finish cleaning a 350sqft space in under 10 minutes.

FAQ:
- Are Cordless Vacuums Worth Buying?
It's almost a given that vacuums offer better suction and clearing of dirt compared to sweeping the floor.
This is the biggest reason why today, with the speed of dust accumulating quite fast from external factors, a vacuum should be present at home. They are just great for clearing the likes of fine hair, suck up dirt from rugs and are also a fast solution to cleaning the floor in general.
The next question you may be wondering is why a cordless vacuum and not a regular one.
One easy reason is that they are much easier to start up and clean with right away. Cordless vacuums today generally have a charging dock for storage after every use and do not tether you to a wall when in use. Moreover, they are obviously much lighter to handle (though several notable models can be heavy too after a while).
TLDR: For daily maintenance or light cleaning, they are very handy as you don't need to keep them tethered to a wall, allowing you to quickly clean up anywhere and anytime at home.
- How to Buy a Cordless Vacuum Cleaner?
So you're interested in getting a cordless vacuum cleaner? Congratulations! They're one of the best cleaning tools you can invest in today, especially with how busy life can be. Looking at which one to buy doesn't need to be a scary ordeal, especially when you pay attention to the key features that make up a good cordless vacuum cleaner.
Here are features that you should look at when buying a cordless vacuum cleaner.
Suction Pressure/Power (Performance):
Just like most items, performance is key to being happy with your purchase. For an indication of how powerful a vacuum is, look for this measurement - 'kPa'. It literally means ' thousand Pascal'.
Simply put, this means the amount (or how much) of negative pressure the vacuum can cause to take in dirt and such. For your reference, many vacuums have at least a suction power of 20kPa (20,000 Pa). The higher the number, the easier it is to pick up dirt and debris.
While kPa isn't the main aspect to look at, this unit is necessary if you want to clean up the likes of water and such, or heavier bigger items.
Key factors;-
- The average vacuum suction power is 20kPa
- Means the strength of negative pressure (suction) of the vacuum
- Important for those who want to get a dry and wet vacuum
Cubic feet per meter (CFM) / Airflow:
"Measured in liters per second (l/s), cubic meters per minute (m3/min), or cubic feet per minute (ft3/m); airflow is the amount of air that flows through the vacuum at any given moment." - pickvacuumcleaner.com
Suction power isn't actually the most important aspect of how powerful a vacuum is, but how good its airflow is. The CFM unit measures how much air flows through the vacuum. It also indirectly determines the resistance to motor exhaustion (so you don't rely on raw power, but how efficient the vacuum is in cleaning up).
Say your vacuum is powerful enough to suck up liquid. But how it maintains the airflow to carry debris into the dirt storage is just as important too. You wouldn't want to risk a messy clean up now, would you? Having good airflow and suction pressure is equally important to have a vacuum that does well.
The main problem? It's almost impossible to get a vacuum that has both high suction pressure and great airflow coverage due to the fact that their way of operation cannot overtake one another (they are inversely proportional). So getting a balance of both is good enough.
Key factors;-
- Greater/larger airflow means the higher the suction power/efficiency is
- 50 to 100 CFM is the average rating for most commercial vacuums
- Note that not all manufacturers will disclose the CFM rating
Battery:
A good cordless vacuum cleaner should be able to work for at least 30- 40 minutes straight on low suction mode. As you've guessed, a high suction mode operating time will actually vary but are generally about only half of the duration (10 to 20 minutes) that you can get from low suction mode.
Some brands do offer an Eco Mode whereby depending on what you are sucking dirt out from, Eco Modes are often optimised to offer battery conservation while providing the correct amount of suction power needed. So if you can, look for a vacuum that has all 3.
We also need to add; in general, smaller vacuums correspond with shorter operation periods. But do take into consideration that the brand's technology also matters.
For example, Dyson is known for its Radial Root Cyclone™ Technology. This particular concept is capable of a powerful suction as well as acute filtration. It doesn't just clear the floor of dust properly but also ensure that none lingers in the air.
Key factors;-
- Anything with above 40 - 50 minutes of operating time is preferable
- Look for one with multiple suction modes (Low, High and Medium/Eco Modes)
- Take into account that some brands have a special suction technology to reduce the amount of time needed to clean.
- Tips For Choosing a Cordless Vacuum Cleaner:
Now that you are clear on what to look at when buying a cordless vacuum cleaner, you'll want to list down your priorities in choosing the right vacuum for you. Here's how:
-
Battery life requirement
As mentioned before, smaller vacuums correspond with shorter operation periods. But depending on brands, some vacuums do operate fast because of the brand's proprietary suction technology.
-
Filtration system
Many people fail to realise that with the lack of built-in filters, dust particles may escape from the vacuum. If this happens, it’ll make no difference the whole room will be covered with microparticles again after cleaning. Thus, it's best to look for one that has a HEPA filter. It's especially helpful for those who suffer from bad allergies.
-
Weight and mobility
Cordless or stick vacuum cleaners are preferable as they are usually ergonomically designed, making it easy to reach tight spots around your house. Plus, you won’t need to worry about a cord tailing after you and tripping over it!
- Best Cordless Vacuum Brands in Malaysia
Cleaning is one of the most time-consuming activities at home, especially if you have a large house.
Thankfully, cleaning your house is now less exhausting and much faster with the advent of the vacuum cleaner, similar to how washing machines speed up the washing process. You enjoy the convenience of moving around comfortably as if you were using a broom without the inconvenience of stepping over wires.
Malaysia has some of the best cordless vacuums available for all to buy. There are several brands in the market that keep up the quality and life span of cordless vacuum cleaners. We’ve researched and found that the most popular brands for a cordless vacuum cleaner would be Dyson, Corvan and Tineco.
Dyson:
Dyson was the brand that created the world's first bagless vacuum cleaner after five years and 5127 prototypes. They are well-known for their technological innovation, which ranges from beauty products to household appliances.
Due to their innovations, Dyson machines quickly became popular and are currently available in 65 countries across the world, with over 1000 engineers working for them. Their most popular product lines include their hair care and vacuum cleaners equipment such as the Dyson Airwrap Styler and the V11 cordless vacuum cleaner.
Vast of their products and services have received positive reviews from customers. Their ratings have always been perfect, with never fewer than 5 stars in almost all of their product reviews. The majority of consumers have stated that they have had positive experiences with their vacuum cleaners.
Corvan:
Corvan was founded in Malaysia in 2014, with the goal of improving modern life by incorporating cutting-edge technology into daily household appliances such as robot vacuum cleaners, robotic mop, and more.
The primary component of their R&D is direct communication with and listening to their consumers in order to understand a user’s requirements and expectations. They feel that this continuous approach considerably aids in generating and delivering superior value for everyone through high-quality products.
Corvan is also lucky to have a global network of strong technology partners and suppliers to make this happen. The brand is now well-known for providing value to customers through high-quality goods and excellent after-sales service.
Tineco:
Not a stranger to the scene; Tineco is a premium brand in smart electrical appliances and a technological innovation firm focusing on intelligent technologies. They were notable for releasing the first smart vacuum cleaner on March 13, 2019, becoming the category's pioneer.
Tineco was founded in 1998 with the development of its first vacuum cleaner and has since gained hundreds of local and international patents as well as remarkable global sales.
The stance by the majority is that Tineco vacuum cleaners clean better and leave behind less mess than other vacuum cleaners. It also has a more advanced cleaning roller that can vacuum and mop at the same time while avoiding any strain with coarser dirt.
Tineco vacuums are ideal and preferred for everyday use/light mopping as well as cleaning up huge spills. If you're searching for a low-cost option that can handle both light vacuuming and mopping, consider the Tineco iFloor, which may be one of the finest for the money.
- Best Times to Buy a Cordless Vacuum Cleaner
One might not think much about a vacuum cleaner until it's time to replace it. Today's models are more effective, with genuinely impressive cleaning power. We propose that, as with other appliances and electric equipment, you do some research and shop at the right time to obtain the greatest value.
Aside from determining which sort of vacuum cleaner best meets your needs, conducting research on various models, and settling on a budget, you need also to know when to get one. When you buy can influence how much you pay and the choices available. So, when is the ideal time to purchase a vacuum cleaner?
Festive season:
The best time to purchase a cordless vacuum cleaner in Malaysia would undoubtedly be during monthly or festive season deals. Sales like “Chinese New Year, Hari Raya, Deepavali” are great times as the discounts and offers are insane. Some brands will also give limited edition gifts that tie with the festive season too.
Purchasing cordless vacuum cleaners just in time or before the festive season is the best thing to do since it helps keep your home clean over the holidays. Plus, brands also throw in additional gifts to offer you a “quick easy cleaning” experience.
Monthly & annual sales:
Aside from festive seasons, acquiring a cordless vacuum cleaner during sales like 11.11 or Black Friday as well as Lazada and Shopee's birthday sales is perfect. It is because the discounts are the greatest compared to other events and sale durations.
Watch out especially for 11.11 or just any Year-end sale, as many brands do clearance sales to make way for new models.
With Christmas sales happening too, the Year-end sales are one of the biggest shopping seasons in Malaysia, with many discounted coupons and promo codes released to be used on top of the already discounted prices.
- Cordless vs Corded Vacuum Cleaners
Dynamic components and a variety of equipment are included with corded vacuums, making cleaning a breeze. The effective components can reach all of the surface's corners.
There are many pros and cons to having either a cordless vacuum or a corded vacuum. The former is a rather new type of invention from the latter. What’s appealing about the cordless variant is that they just seem easy to access and use right away. Whereas, the corded variant is just useful for most houses and is much cheaper.
So, how do you choose between the two? Here, we help you break down both briefly.
Corded vacuum cleaners - Powerful, heavy-duty:
A corded vacuum cleaner comes to mind whenever you think about vacuum cleaners. They come with a plug-in connection and many attachments to aid in thorough cleaning. Therefore, you must plug it into a power source before using it. That is the primary reason behind the name.
As these machines are usually bigger, they allow for the inclusion of a stronger motor to help you do heavy-duty cleaning. And because they are also usually bigger, corded vacuums have a big dust collection area. As a result, you may use your cleaner for longer periods of time without having to dispose of the dust it collects.
Because of a bigger motor for bigger suction power, corded vacuums have to connect to your home's power supply. This also causes many to believe that conventional versions are the finest choice for carpeted flooring.
Although bulkier, corded vacuums have improved thanks to advancements in technology. Therefore, if with several locations to clean in a big area, a corded vacuum cleaner would be ideal since it can run for an extended period of time if the power source is dependable.
Cordless vacuum cleaners - Lightweight, ‘Clean everywhere’:
While suction power is typically more reliable on the corded variant via a wall power supply, cordless vacuums with lithium-powered batteries are just as reliable. In fact, suction power on cordless vacuums tends to be almost equal to corded variants than cordless vacuums with non-lithium batteries.
A cordless vacuum cleaner, as opposed to a corded vacuum cleaner, does not have a power connection cable. They equip a rechargeable battery that has to be charged every now and then. As the majority of the battery-type used are lithium, you'll have enough juice to last you for a couple of cleaning sessions. Disposable batteries, as opposed to permanent batteries, are simple to charge and replace.
Also, because it is readily moveable from one area to another, a cordless cleaner allows you to get into tight spots without being tethered to the wall. And because it is cordless, you have complete freedom of movement in cleaning angles. The lightweight design is ideal for cleaning around furniture and in tight places.
Obviously, the suction power of a cordless vacuum is generated by the battery. As a result, as a battery begins to drain and diminish, suction strength decreases. So for a seamless cleaning experience, constant charging is required.
Tip - To minimise the chances of forgetting to charge the vacuum, look for those with a charging station dock & a lithium battery for extended durability.
- How long should a good vacuum last?
The vacuum cleaner has been around for a few decades, and there are many reasons why it's still the best-selling house-cleaning device.
Notably, it makes the entire house cleaning process much more efficient. A clean house is always a desirable feat for homeowners in this fast-paced world, and vacuum cleaners are just the one tool that fits into this category well.
Working time:
Unlike mopping, which requires more time and energy, all you have to do is walk over an area with a vacuum and it will suck up any dust or residue. Given that thought, those from more reputable vacuum brands may attain speeds of up to 25,000 spins per minute, so you should be able to clean your entire house in as little as an hour.
Average lifespan - 8 years:
Aside from the fact that it performs well, buying a high-quality model will provide you with years of heavy service due to the quality of mechanism accessories that are used.
Of course, this is dependent on the brand and the price that you pay, which leads us to the subject of how long vacuums last and if there is anything you can do to extend their lifespan.
There are several aspects that may be considered to maintain a good lifespan for your cordless vacuum cleaner to last longer. In general, cordless vacuum cleaners have an average lifespan of 8-10 years, however, this varies depending on the brand. Keeping your vacuum cleaner on a regular basis is a huge bonus for longer-lasting vacuums. In fact, there are cases where vacuums are kept beyond 10 years up to 20 years!
Therefore, do consider purchasing a vacuum cleaner from a niche brand like Dyson or Corvan as they are fully focused on the few product lines that they have. They are a terrific long-term investment that allows you to receive a flexible vacuum cleaner at a fair and reasonable price.
Also, bear in mind that appropriate vacuum cleaner maintenance is essential for prolonging the vacuum's lifespan and keeping the device functioning at its peak performance.
Tips for longer cordless vacuum life:
- Avoid filling the bag or bin to the brim, since this may cause the unit to clog.
- Keep in mind to clean or replace the filter anytime it becomes filthy.
- Clearing the motorized brush of matted hair, thread, and other fibres that can strain the motor every few weeks.
- Constantly checking the hose for clogs on a regular basis.
- What floor can a cordless vacuum clean?
The quick answer: A distinctive vacuum cleaner is recommended for different kinds of flooring. So choose a vacuum for the general “hardness” of your floor.
When purchasing a vacuum cleaner, keep these pointers in mind.
- If you have hard flooring in your home, such as hardwood, tiles, or laminate, a vacuum cleaner with many attachments is your best bet. A cordless vacuum cleaner is perfect to avoid damaging your floor as you can easily adjust the suction power.
- It’s different for carpets; you'll actually need something very strong for the carpet as the fibres are more persistent in trapping dust. Therefore, the vacuum’s motor must be capable of extracting dust and dirt from carpet fibres. If you don’t want to worry about damaging your floors, an upright cordless vacuum cleaner is a great choice.
- Prepping Your Vacuum for Cleaning
To avoid mishaps with your appliance, always remember to prepare your vacuum cleaner for use. The suction of your vacuum cleaner can be diminished by dirt and debris. Hence it is important to do routine maintenance on your vacuum cleaner after each use.
Before you start, at the very least, make sure the dirt bin is empty. Alternatively, if your vacuum cleaner utilises bags, ensure sure the bag is just half filled. Then check to see if the roller brush or beater bar spins freely. Remove any entangled string, hair, or other waste from the brush.
Also, remember to always use the attachments provided alongside your vacuum cleaner. Even the most powerful vacuum cleaner head will not be able to remove all of the debris from the area where the floor meets the walls. Not being careful with your cleaning will result in black margins on carpets or a gritty grey line if you have hard flooring.
Cleaning carpet floors:
To vacuum carpeted floors, make it a habit to use the roller brush, which removes fibres and allows the suction of the machine to remove impurities.
Keep in mind that deep-down dirt will not be cleaned if the brush head is set too high. When it is too low, it cannot spin properly and can meddle with the suction of the machine.
Cleaning hard floors:
For those with hard floors, you should use a machine with a felt or fabric roller or a flat floor head that does not have a rotating brush. These specialist hard floor vacuum attachments are more effective at collecting dust and tiny particles from hard surfaces. Unlike the carpet attachment, they will not harm the surface of your hard floor.
Doing quick cleans:
In terms of quickly cleaning floors, there's nothing wrong with rapidly vacuuming with a powerful motor. However, this type of rapid cleaning should not be done on a regular basis. Prepare your vacuum, clear furniture from the area you'll be vacuuming, and then take your time cleaning it well to remove filth and dust off your floors and out of your home.
- How To Clean A Vacuum Cleaner Properly?
It's interesting that your vacuum cleaner is typically the dirtiest appliance in your household. By the time you've finished cleaning, you might not be eager to provide your vacuum cleaner any love and care. But a clean, well-maintained vacuum cleaner will perform a better job of cleaning up dirt around your house and will last longer.
Read the directions for your specific model before performing any maintenance on your vacuum cleaner. These will teach you how to secure and change the filters, as well as which parts are safe to wash.
What is needed to clean cordless vacuum cleaners are generally found in your home.
- Water
- Dish Soap
- Microfiber Cloth
- Toothbrush
- Garbage bag
It is advisable to clean the blockages that are formed in the vacuum cleaner as the most common cause of a vacuum cleaner's loss of suction is clogs, which slows and overheats the unit. To avoid such issues, ensure that the dust canister is completely emptied after each use. Check the hose and machine entry for any dirt or dust that may cause a blockage in order to reduce or eliminate obstructions from the tubes.
Vacuum filters:
Many vacuum cleaners have washable filters, making it simple to clean them without the help of a professional.
- To simply remove dust from the filters, remove and tap them against a hard surface. If you want to limit the spread of dust and pollutants into your house, perform this step outdoors.
- Using lukewarm water, wash the washable filter and allow it to dry for at least 24 hours. If the filters aren't washable, simply tap them against a hard surface to remove access dirt.
Vacuum brush:
We’re sure that you’ve probably seen out-of-shape vacuum head brushes. As a result of frequent use, the vacuum cleaner brush may appear worn out. This is due to pushing the brush head against the floor constantly. Not only that but threads and hair from the floor may have constantly gotten stuck and trapped in the brush.
If that happens, don't pull the threads or hair. Instead, cut any threads or hair that may be clogging the brush. Avoid cutting the bristles at all costs.
In short; clean your vacuum cleaner on a regular basis and it will last longer. If you often use a vacuum cleaner, make sure to clean it every three months. Regular cleaning ensures that the vacuum cleaner eliminates impurities and dust efficiently while also reducing the amount of time you have to vacuum your home.
- Bag vs Bagless Vacuums
One of the most recent categories for vacuum cleaners is bag or bagless. Is a bagless model preferable to one that requires vacuum cleaner bags? It is entirely dependent on your family and its necessities.
Bagged Vacuum Cleaners:
In short, a bagged vacuum cleaner operates in the usual manner, with the changeable bag acting as a filter to capture dirt while enabling air to travel through the bag.
When the bags are full, they must be changed. Filters in bagless vacuum cleaners capture dirt and dust in a dirt cup or chamber, which may then be emptied.
So what happens when the bags get worn out? They require replacements once it becomes full. Replacing the bag isn't a big deal, and most vacuum cleaner bags aren't expensive. However, having to remember to check if the bag is full may be annoying.
Luckily, some bagged vacuums feature an indicator light that indicates when the bag needs to be replaced. Vacuum cleaner bags also means less interaction with the dust and particles contained within the bag. Just remove the old bag and discard it, voila!
Pros of a bagged vacuum:
- Bagged vacuum cleaners are less messy. There is no possibility for the dust to end up on the floor or in your face.
- It's preferable for allergy problems. Bags keep dust and allergens completely isolated from the person vacuuming. As a result, dust disposal is considerably less likely to trigger an allergic reaction.
- Fewer maintenance costs are required. Vacuum cleaner bags reduces a compressive load on your vacuum cleaner for a variety of reasons. As filters are incorporated into the bags themselves, they do not need to be cleaned. Also, the bags have ample storage than their bagless equivalents, so you don't have to discard dirt as frequently.
Cons of a bagged vacuum :
- Eco-unfriendly. While the majority of vacuum cleaner bags are composed of paper, they may also include other elements and hence are not 100% recyclable.
- Vacuum cleaner bags are rather expensive and must be replaced regularly, which can put a dent in your wallet.
Bagless Vacuum Cleaners:
There's very little chance of forgetting to empty the vacuum cleaner with a bagless vacuum cleaner since the dirt and debris in the cup can be seen clearly.
Many versions, however, include filters that still has to be brushed, rinsed and dried entirely, or totally changed. Depending on your vacuum cleaner, emptying the dirt cup might be an unpleasant operation.
Moreover, without a bag, dust may frequently swirl back out of the cup, and you may need to shake or scrape accumulated dirt from the container's bottom. However, if you vacuumed up anything you need to recover, it can be readily recovered from the dirt cup.
Pros of a bagless vacuum:
- Bagless vacuums are eco-friendly. They contain recyclable filters and, of course, no bags that end up in non-recyclable residual waste.
- These vacuums are known to be less costly in the long run as there’s no need to buy or spend on bags for your vacuum.
Cons of a bagless vacuum:
- They can be messy to clean as it requires you to get your hands dirty whilst cleaning the dirt cup.
- Bagless vacuums have cups that require washing and drying for maintenance compared to just throwing out a bag. Worse, you'll probably have to wipe out the cup more frequently than you would a bag.
- How To Optimize the Battery life on Cordless Vacuums
Where there is no local electrical supply, a cordless vacuum can be of great assistance in cleaning up spills or for just about anything. Utilizing the battery life of these cleaners is a real treat, but it is not as easy as it may appear to be.
- If your vacuum is powered by conventional batteries that are not rechargeable, the only justifiable approach to guarantee a longer lifespan is to ensure that you avoid vacuums going into the 'standby' feature. Switching the vacuum within on or off is good enough.
- For cordless vacuums with rechargeable batteries, they are designed in such a way that you need to have a place to store the battery charger somewhere. As such, a vacuum with a charging dock is convenient and ideal as it guarantees that the cells are always filled.
- Finally, keep your vacuums in a cool area to avoid power failure to the batteries.
Take note:
Some rechargeable batteries, particularly high-demanding batteries, have a liquid core and must be completely depleted before being recharged. With irregular charging patterns, it can mess up your vacuum’s recall to allow the full charge (think: the bad charging habits for a smartphone).
Although they are no longer widely used, these batteries may tend to only recall and allow the amount of charge they previously had.
If you recharge such a battery after it has been only one-quarter discharged, you will discover that it will only accept one-quarter of the available charge in the future, even if it has been totally exhausted. So, for optimal charging, ensure that you read your vacuum’s manual to know the best way to charge it.
