Top 10 Cordless Hardwood Floor Vacuums
for December 2023

The PrettyCare stick vacuum is cheap and cheerful, and it performs well for most conventional tasks. Its 20,000Pa of suction is more powerful than that of most stick vacuums, and it's suitable for both hard floors and carpets. The unit is lightweight, so it's easy to carry around, and it features useful attachments such as a pet hair brush and a crevice tool. The brush attachments are removable, and the battery is rechargeable, which makes it easy to charge or replace. The only drawback is the PrettyCare's limited operation time: 20 minutes on the high setting and 30 minutes on the low setting. But if you don't mind cleaning a bit sooner than it takes for most stick vacuums, the PrettyCare is a great value.

The INSE Cordless Vacuum Cleaner has a powerful, powerful suction, and it's well built, with a chassis that may not look as fancy as some of Bissell's other vacuums, but it feels sturdier and is more durable. The cordless stick vacuum is also easy to clean, with a detachable battery and brush head. The INSE Cordless Vacuum Cleaner has one of the best battery recharge times we've seen: It took about an hour and 40 minutes to charge the battery fully, and the vacuum lasted more than 40 minutes, though it only reached 50% of its runtime before running out of power. The INSE Cordless Vacuum Cleaner doesn't have the largest dustbin (just 0.8 gallons), which is typically average for a cordless stick vacuum, and it's a bit noisy, which is always a concern for cordless vacuums. That said, the INSE Cordless Vacuum Cleaner has one of the best battery recharge times we've seen, so it does make up for some of its shortcomings.

The Kenmore DS4020 cordless stick vacuum is a lightweight, powerful cordless vacuum cleaner that performs well on hardwood floors, carpet, and area rugs. The DS4020 has a 0.6L dirt cup and a HEPA filter that capture 99.97% of dust and debris. The vacuum has 8000PA of suction power, and the switch allows you to choose between ECO and High speed modes. The vacuum also has a 2-speed power button, which allows users to choose low or high power suction. The five-amp motor is powerful enough to pick up pet hair, dust, dirt, grime, and crumbs. The vacuum has 2X reach for reaching high places, and the battery charges quickly (about 3 hours). The vacuum comes with a 21.6V Lithium-Ion battery and a wall-mount charger. The battery stores neatly on the vacuum's wall mount, and the vacuum has a 40-minute runtime that translates to 220 minutes of cleaning. The vacuum's LED headlights provide visibility, and it includes a crevice tool, a dusting brush, and a dusting brush extension. The vacuum is lightweight (about 4 pounds), and it has a comfortable handle and a long reach wand. The vacuum comes with a 1-year warranty.

The Eureka 3011-1200 is our favorite cordless vacuum for challenging floor surfaces, thanks to its low profile design, 3-stage cleaning system, and 21.6V rechargeable battery. The low profile design makes it easier for this cordless vacuum to clean under furniture and to reach into cracks and crevices, and the large 3-stage dirt cup holds far more dirt than smaller 2-stage models. The Eureka 3011-1200 is also easy to use, thanks in large part to its intuitive fingertip controls. The vacuum's two cleaning modes allow you to increase suction for better cleaning on carpet and rugs, and the vacuum's 3M microfiber filter captures dust, allergens, and pet hair. The Eureka 3011-1200 is lightweight, and its accessories are versatile, making it easy to convert the handheld vacuum into a handheld stick vacuum. The vacuum's LED headlights make it easy to see what you're doing, and the vacuum's handle swivels 360 degrees, so you can easily reach into corners and around furniture. The Eureka 3011-1200's 21.6V rechargeable battery provides 30 minutes of runtime, and the included charger has a 2.4A output, so it charges quickly.

The INSE cordless stick vacuum is solidly made, and it delivers strong suction. The 2-in-1 motorized brush is convenient and does a good job of cleaning and collecting pet hair, and the mini motorized brush does a great job of cleaning hard floors. The 10 combination settings give you plenty of flexibility, and the retractable metal tube makes it easy to reach under furniture. The only complaint is that the suction doesn't reach quite as high as it does on our previous top pick, the Shark Rotator Professional Lift-Away, but for average-size homes, the INSE is a great vacuum.

This 4-in-1 stick vacuum from ORFELD is an impressive piece of kit. The upright vacuum head is lightweight, and its 8-foot long and 2-inch wide cord is long enough to clean most rooms. The swivel head has a 120-watt motor and is powerful enough to pick up pet hair, dust, and debris efficiently. You can also pick up small objects (like coins) using the built-in crevice tool. The handheld vacuum head has a 2.5-inch wide nozzle and is powerful enough to pick up pet hair from furniture. The suction is as strong as the upright vacuum head, but it's more convenient to use, and it's lighter and easier to use. The handheld vacuum head also has a 120-watt motor, and it's powerful enough to pick up pet hair, dust, and debris efficiently. The handheld vacuum head also has a 120-watt motor, and it's powerful enough to pick up pet hair, dust, and debris efficiently. The handheld vacuum head also has a 5-year warranty, which is one of the largest in the industry.

The PrettyCare W300 is for those who want a cordless stick vacuum with superb range, powerful suction, and a long battery life, but aren't willing to pay a premium for the Dyson V7 or Shark Rotator. This vacuum's cordless design makes it much more maneuverable than corded stick vacuums, and it has a 20-amp motor and 2600mAh battery that allows it to clean for 35 minutes on its highest setting. The brush roll is motorized, and it comes with several different attachments for vacuuming stairs, upholstery, and hard-to-reach places. The vacuum's LED lights make it easy to see in the dark, and the motor has a 2-year warranty. What's not to like? Well, it's a bit pricey, and the cord is too short to reach some places, including under furniture. The vacuum also has some limitations: The suction is weaker on carpets than on hardwood floors, and the included attachments aren't as versatile as some of the attachments on competing vacuums. But given the vacuum's strong suction, long battery life, and ease of use, it's among our best picks for cordless stick vacuums overall.

This cordless stick vacuum is lightweight, quiet, and powerful. It picks up dust, pet hair, and crumbs from hardwood floors and carpets, and even tiles and linoleum, with very little effort. It has three cleaning modes (high, low, and turbo), and the highest mode does an excellent job of cleaning hardwood floors, while the lowest mode is powerful enough to pick up pet hair and crumbs from carpet and rugs. The brush head is stiff enough to pick up pet hair, but soft enough not to scratch hardwood floors. The vacuum is easy to store, and has wall-mount and charging options, so you can leave it charging while cleaning up around the home, or leave it on the wall while cleaning. The lightweight design is easy to carry, and the vacuum is powerful enough to pick up dirt from hardwood and tile floors, but not powerful enough to clean upholstery. The vacuum has LED lights that illuminate dark areas, and a long 2600mAh battery that can easily clean a 3,000-square-foot home. The vacuum has swiveling side brushes that can reach under beds and furniture, and rotating brushes that clean in-between furniture and baseboards. The vacuum also comes with a crevice tool, mini duster brush, and carpet floor brush, all in a storage case.

The OKP X100 Cordless Vacuum Cleaner does a great job cleaning up everything from fine dust to dog hair, and it's easy to use, lightweight, and affordable. The 100-watt motor is powerful enough to handle dirt and debris, but not overly powerful that it vibrates, vibrates, or leaves a buzz in your ears. The machine is lightweight and easy to maneuver, and the remote-controlled suction power makes it easy to clean hard to reach spots like above the kitchen cabinets and under your furniture. The 17KPA setting is strong enough to handle pet hair, while the standard 8KPA setting is powerful enough to handle everyday cleanup. The stick vacuum cleaner is lightweight, but powerful enough to handle cleanup after a party or other major mess. The filters can be removed and tossed in the dishwasher, and the vacuum cleaner's battery can be charged up almost anywhere, but we'd recommend not charging it while you’re using it, because it decreases the battery's lifespan. The 3.7-ft. power cord lets you vacuum large areas, and the vacuum's 160-watt motor provides strong suction. And its 4-Layer Filtration System captures dust, dirt, and pet hair, and the 1-button to Pour Dust lets you empty the dust cup without getting your hands dirty. The cordless vacuum cleaner is lightweight, easy to empty the dust cup, and it has a 1-year warranty.

The cordless vacuum cleaner is probably one of the best inventions for helping people live with less stress, and it's one tool that really doesn't get enough credit. The Dyson DC40 is our favorite cordless vacuum, and it's consistently our favorite pick overall. But it's expensive, and since people have different needs, some may prefer a more affordable option. The Vacmaster 7150 is our best budget pick, and it's an excellent vacuum cleaner for light cleaning tasks. But it's missing some features, such as an automatic power-off feature, and it's underpowered for heavy cleaning tasks. The Bissell PowerEdge 2060 is the best cordless stick vacuum, and it's not as powerful or as convenient as the Dyson or Vacmaster, but it has a long-lasting battery and is lightweight enough to be easy to handle.
