The Best Cordless Vacuum Cleaner Australia Has Are All About Convenience!

1. Bissell Bolt Lithium Max

For the relatively affordable pricing, the Bolt Lithium Max has a remarkably long battery running time.

To put it in perspective, this vacuum can match the battery life of Dyson cordless vacuum cleaners like the Dyson V8, which is comfortably twice the price.

That battery life does come at a cost though, with the 25-volt battery taking nearly four hours to recharge completely.

At about 2.7 kilos, the Bolt Lithium Max is an amazing cordless vacuum primarily because of its lightweight build. When you add to that the ability to morph into a handheld device, you can begin to see how useful this vacuum may be for your home.

By converting to a handheld, the Bolt Lithium Max is a good option for cleaning dark crevices, staircases as well as car interiors effortlessly.

For homes with carpets, the Bolt Lithium Max is a solid option. The presence of a maximum power mode and rotating edge bristles ensure that this cordless vacuum cleaner can dig deep into carpet fibres.

If your home is predominantly made up of hard surfaces, then there is a handy hardwood brush roll. As you can turn off the rotation of the edge bristles, you don’t have to worry about getting your floors scratched.

While a 0.6-litre dust canister isn’t especially great, we loved how easy it is empty the insides with just a push of a button.

From a cordless option standpoint, the cleaning versatility from converting to a handheld, the lightweight design and the excellent battery life make this Bissell vacuum a sure winner!

2. Dyson Cyclone V10

Dyson produces some of the top cordless vacuum cleaners that the company is focusing entirely on the cordless market.

While the Dyson V6 and V8 launched the brand in the mind space of Australians looking for a cordless vacuum, the Dyson Cyclone V10 Absolute is truly something else.

With the most powerful motor Dyson has ever made, the V10 provides suction power matching heavy upright vacuums.

The suction power is also down to one great innovation in engineering by the folks at Dyson.

The team has aligned the powerful motor with the bin, creating a streamlined design where airflow is maximised!

Those multiple cyclones also help make the filtration system in the V10 top-class!

Compared to the V8, the battery life on the V10 is 60 minutes versus a little over 30 minutes on the V8.

The V10’s dust canister is also 40% bigger than the canister on the V8.

The soft roller cleaner in the vacuum head of the V10 does a great job in picking up fine dust from carpets as well as large debris from hard floors.

We found that all floor types could be cleaned by alternating between the power modes.

On the lowest power mode, no debris is pushed away on hard floors.

By alternating between the medium and high power mode on carpets, thin as well as thick-pile carpets had to yield before the suction of the Dyson V10.

The drawback of the high power mode is that the V10 will only last for 7 minutes, with the silver lining being that you will rarely have to use that mode!

The price can be overwhelming, but for the performance and features in store, it sure isn’t overpriced!

3. Hoover Ultra Light

The Hoover Ultra Light has a lot of things going right for it from the off. We admire the minimalist, sleek design of this vacuum, making it a real eye-catcher.

Beyond the sleek design, the build is super-lightweight as the name suggests. This cordless vacuum cleaner barely weighs over two kilos, making it easy to store.

Despite the featherweight look, the powerful suction of this vacuum makes it a noisy operator!

By converting to a handheld vac, this cordless vacuum can also lend some versatility to your home cleaning experience.

The battery on this vacuum will last for about 20 minutes, meaning this cordless vacuum perhaps makes more sense as a secondary vacuum for quick spot cleaning.

The motorised powerhead provides excellent cleaning performance on carpets, no matter how thick the carpet fibres are!

A 0.4-litre dust canister may not seem like much, but for spot cleaning, it is more than adequate!

So if you’ve been searching everywhere for a lightweight, cut-price cordless vacuum for emergency spot cleaning, then this excellent vacuum is what you need!

4. Shark IONFlex 2X

While it does not come cheap, the IONFlex 2X is a tremendous cordless vacuum that is stocked with top-of-the-line features.

The most important feature are the two replaceable batteries with this vacuum, allowing you to charge one while you use the other.

With this battery technology on display, you will rarely skip a beat when it comes to cleaning your home and avoid any annoying breaks.

When combined, both of these batteries will allow you to clean for 45 minutes.

Shark’s patented DuoClean technology makes an appearance, allowing you to easily handle both carpets as well as hard surfaces.

Shark also decks this vacuum with its MultiFLEX technology, that allows the wand of the vacuum to stretch underneath furniture to make home cleaning comprehensive!

At under two kilograms, we were highly impressed with the build quality despite the lightweight stature.

The tradeoff for the lightweight, however, is that the dust canister capacity is limited.

If you are thinking that the IONFlex 2X is not within your budget, then the original IONFlex may be a solid choice although it does not have two batteries!

5. Puppyoo WP536

You may not necessarily know this, but the Chinese appliances market is currently the largest on the market.

This has got international brands jostling to claim a position as the leader of the pack.

Unfortunately for them, however, China-based Puppyoo has them beat - and for good reasons.

Through excellent build quality and a focus on targeted marketing, Puppyoo is numero uno in China’s vacuum cleaner market.

The WP536 cordless vacuum is an extremely underrated cordless vacuum, considering the host of features it packs for its low price.

Weighing in at just about 2.5 kilos, this vacuum’s lightweight build makes it a super-nimble device to flick around obstacles.

A drawback of the lightweight build is that the dust canister has only 0.5 litres of capacity!

The performance on carpets is excellent, aided by the presence of a direct-drive cleaner head that sends power directly to the rotating brush roll.

With two power modes to choose from, you will rarely find debris on carpet that is not sucked up in the maximum power setting.

To add to the host of features, this vacuum will convert to a handheld device for reaching tight corners or for above-floor cleaning.

The vacuum head that swivels 180 degrees will allow for greater cleaning coverage without exerting too much effort.

HEPA filtration, on such an affordably-priced cordless vacuum, really takes the cherry.

With a success rate of 99.97% against most allergens, most vacuum manufacturers recognise HEPA filters as the best filtration technology in the market.

While 25 minutes of battery life is not really all that special, it is too far off the industry standard of 30-45 minutes. Besides, on the lower power mode, we could see that the WP536 lasts for about 35 minutes.

However, we did not like that the battery takes 3 hours to recharge, which is a bit much for just about 30 minutes of performance.

For the price range it sits in, this is one of the best cordless vacuums Australia currently has!
