Cleaning the house isn’t a chore I look forward to, but the experience was made more bearable recently after upgrading to a cordless vacuum for the first time. My ageing upright vacuum is almost on life support at this point and I recently got the opportunity to review the Dyson V11 Advanced. To say the sleek and capable Dyson sparked a new love of vacuuming the kitchen would be a total lie. But, it did give me pause to wonder why I hadn’t switched over much sooner.
The Shark Clean & Empty Cordless Vacuum currently holds the “best cordless” spot in our best vacuum cleaners guide, but I was still pleasantly surprised with the Dyson. Before we go any further, I need to point out that to non-vacuuming folks like me, the terminology can get a little confusing. Cordless is pretty simple to understand; you don’t need to plug it into an outlet. But within that category you’ve got upright, stick, handheld, canister and wet and dry. In my case, I moved from a corded (and heavy) upright vacuum to a cordless stick vacuum. And what I sacrificed in capacity, I more than made up for in ease-of-use and portability.
