20. KARCHER VC5 Cordless
- Cleaning type: dry
- Suction power: 125W
- Power consumption: 500 W
- Dust container volume: 0.5 liters
- Wireless, battery life up to 40 min
• The rating of upright vacuum cleaners for the home in terms of price and quality is opened by a powerful model from a popular and reliable manufacturer of household appliances.
• The VC 5 Cordless model has a three-stage power adjustment. It is equipped with three nozzles: for ordinary furniture, for upholstered furniture and crevice. Separately, you can buy other additional nozzles, in addition to those included in the kit, for example, a nozzle for mattresses. The handle has a soft grip for comfort.
• The vacuum cleaner has a 3-piece telescopic suction tube, so it is easy to store. In general, the entire vacuum cleaner is quite compact and there are no problems with its movement. The unit can be used for floor coverings, carpets, stairs, cloth cleaning. It has great maneuverability, even in hard-to-reach places.
• At minimum power, the device operates for 1 hour, and at maximum for 15 minutes. The battery is fully charged within three hours. There is a three-level battery level indicator.
Pros and cons light weight of the device – 2,8 kg low noise level – 69 dB very small container high price if the device breaks down, you will have to spend money – spare parts are very expensive19. Deerma DX700S EU
- Cleaning type: dry
- Suction power: 210W
- Dust container volume: 0.8 l
- Power supply: mains, 4,5 m cord
• The vacuum cleaner is very light – only 2,2 kg, it is easy to hold on weight while collecting dust. Despite the volume and general lightness, the filter is serious, with cyclonic filtration, which does not affect the suction power, even when filled to capacity.
• The nozzle in the kit is unlikely to cope with a long pile carpet, but it will clean the carpet and door mat to a shine. Well, since the motor is located on the mop itself (perfectly balanced), in the process you will be blown with a stream of warm air – but this is a common thing among all vacuum cleaners of this design.

• And since the vacuum cleaner is vertical, it can be stored in a corner and, at the slightest sign of pollution, just take it and vacuum it, and then put it back. People who are accustomed to taking a bulky device out of the pantry and winding and unwinding the wire will undoubtedly appreciate this convenience.
• The power and volume of the container seem small, but for cleaning once every 2-3 days it will be enough. It will remove dust from parquet cracks, but larger things, like candy wrappers, can get stuck in the brush. The battery capacity is enough to clean up the average three-room apartment.

• This is a good upright vacuum cleaner from the Philips brand. Suitable for cleaning various surfaces. On a single charge, the vacuum cleaner can clean up to 50 square meters.

It cleans not only floors but also carpets. By creating a powerful air flow, the electric brush removes all dirt. It also comes with a built-in brush and a crevice tool to help you get into hard-to-reach places.

• This model stands out from the competition with both a capacious dust collector and the ability to work in steam mop mode.

It is very convenient to suck up dirt and dust, while softening dirt and disinfecting the surface with hot steam.
• Thanks to vertical parking, the device does not take up much space in a room or corridor, and cord holders are located on its handle.

- Cleaning type: dry
- Suction power: 80W
- Power consumption: 350 W
- Battery life: up to 25 min
- Dust container volume: 2 l
- Detachable handheld vacuum cleaner: yes
• This state-of-the-art cordless vacuum cleaner converts to a handheld vacuum cleaner for super-convenient vacuuming high above the floor (such as cobwebs off the upholstery or ceiling) and car cleaning.
• Thanks to the light body (2.9 kg), it is convenient to use the device, but it will not work for a long time to clean it. In normal mode, the vacuum cleaner will last up to 25 minutes, and in turbo mode – 8 minutes. However, this is more than enough for a one-room apartment. But if you are planning to clean a large apartment or a private house, then it is better to look for another model in the top handheld vacuum cleaners.
• In addition to hard surfaces, the vacuum cleaner does an excellent job with upholstered furniture and pulling dust out of the cracks, using the appropriate nozzles. In general, REDMOND RV-UR360 is ideal for a small apartment or office.
Pros and cons capacious dust collector there is illumination of the place of cleaning short operating time noisy – 80 dB6. REDMOND RV-UR378
- Cleaning type: dry
- Suction power: 30W
- Power consumption: 100 W
- Battery life: up to 55 min
- Dust container volume: 0.8 l
- Detachable handheld vacuum cleaner: yes
• This vacuum cleaner differs from the model from the seventh place in the article:
- reduced dust collector capacity,
- extended run time – up to 55 minutes in normal mode and up to 25 minutes in intensive mode,
- less suction power
- lighter design – 2,3 kg,
- telescopic rather than a solid suction tube.
• Thanks to the 2-in-1 furniture nozzle, the vacuum cleaner quickly cleans dust from upholstered and cabinet furniture. A crevice nozzle will allow you to work in hard-to-reach places.
• In summary: REDMOND RV-UR378 is great for removing hair and small debris from the floor and interior items. But for the suction of large debris is not suitable.
Pros and cons capacious dust collector there is illumination of the place of cleaning long working time noisy – 80 dB5. Bosch BCH86SIL1
- Cleaning type: dry
- Battery life: up to 60 min
- Dust container volume: 0.9 l
• Among the best cordless vacuum cleaners, this model stands out with the ProSilence noise reduction system, which reduced the maximum noise level to 79 dB. I won’t say that this is the quietest of the vertical cordless vacuum cleaners, but it will not torment your ears when working.
• "Bosch" would not be "Bosch" if it had not provided its offspring with a couple of innovative technologies. Among them: RotationClean – easy cleaning of the container and SmartSensor Control – a smart notification system when the filter needs to be cleaned.
• But the arsenal of nozzles for this model is poor (but for this manufacturer it is not surprising, given the price of less than 20 thousand rubles). Only the turbo brush is included, which cleans carpets well, but will not cope with the corners.
Pros and cons holds a charge for a long time works quietly excellently removes pet hair lightweight – the hand does not get tired nozzles will have to be bought separately can not be used in manual mode4. Dreame T20 Cordless Vacuum Cleaner

- Suction power: 150W
- Power consumption: 450 W

- Detachable handheld vacuum cleaner: yes
• The features of the T20 include the SmartCool air tunnel system, which allows you to suck in even large debris, and at the same time passively cools the electric motor and battery pack.
• And an effective noise reduction system has reduced the noise level to 68 dB – comparable to a quiet conversation.
• The operating time of the vacuum cleaner depends on the choice of one of four modes:
- automatic,
- economical,
- standard,
- turbo.
• And the battery level can be seen in real time on a color display. Also, from the advantages of this vacuum cleaner, I note the automatic recognition of carpets.
Pros and cons 4 cleaning modes quiet there is a crevice nozzle and a furniture nozzle very light (1.67 kg) old models often have a defective main brush, this defect has been corrected in new batches3. Xiaomi Dream V11
- Cleaning type: dry
- Suction power: 150W
- Power consumption: 450 W
- Battery life: up to 90 min
- Dust container volume: 0.5 l
- Detachable handheld vacuum cleaner: yes
• The first three in the ranking of budget vertical vacuum cleaners are opened by a model popular, which, in terms of its characteristics, will give odds to more expensive "brothers".
• On a single charge in the economical cleaning mode, you can vacuum a large apartment of 100 square meters, and high suction power allows you to cope with both small particles of dirt and dust, and large ones, like scattered cereals – in turbo mode.
• Among the other advantages of the Dreame V11, I note the presence of a powerful mode in which the vacuum cleaner will work up to 30 minutes and a super powerful one – up to 10 minutes.
• The kit includes:
- motorized floor brush,
- furniture brush with hard bristles,
- soft brush for cleaning furniture,
- crevice nozzle.
• All nozzles are attached to the base.
NoteA: There is no difference between the regular Xiaomi Dreame V11 Global and the EU version. The Chinese version has a washing nozzle, but it is not officially delivered to Russia.

- Cleaning type: dry
- Suction power: 130W
- Power consumption: 130 W
- Battery life: up to 40 min

- Detachable handheld vacuum cleaner: yes
• An inexpensive classic upright vacuum cleaner with a fine filter is ideal for those who vacuum before wet cleaning and do not often deal with large debris.
• Despite the fact that EASINE by ILIFE H50 belongs to the budget category, its dust container size and battery life are not inferior to more expensive models. But the suction power is small.
• The vacuum cleaner comes with two nozzles: one for hard floors and nylon, carpet. There is also a rotating turbo brush with LED-backlight.
Pros and cons convenient controls – highlighted in orange low price – in different stores it will cost from 6000 to 10000 rubles removable battery filter can be washed low suction power1. Polaris PVCS 1102 HandStickPRO+
- Cleaning type: dry
- Suction power: 160W
- Power consumption: 450 W
- Battery life: up to 60 min
- Dust container volume: 0.6 l
• Powerful and not too noisy (71 dB) vacuum cleaner with a 450 W inverter motor has good suction power and three operating modes: medium, strong and turbo.
• The efficiency of carpet cleaning distinguishes ordinary upright vacuums from really good ones, and it’s hard to find fault with the HandStickPRO + in this parameter. It works well on long pile carpets, removing animal hair and other debris from them.
• The vacuum cleaner comes with several attachments:
- slotted,
- turbo brush,
- mini electric brush,
- nozzle-brush,
- combined nozzle carpet / floor.
• And in storage, this model is very convenient, it can be hung on the wall – there is a corresponding mount in the kit.
Pros and cons Easy-to-remove trash can Removable battery Lightweight (about 2,5 kg) No cleaning area light No remaining charge indicatorHow to choose an upright vacuum cleaner for your home
• We are all well acquainted with a horizontal vacuum cleaner, but vertical vacuum cleaners have appeared on the market relatively recently. Most of all, they resemble a mop, and since the body and volumes are small, they are most suitable for regular cleaning of small rooms. But they take up little space, they do not need to be assembled and disassembled. They are often wireless.
• Now there are a lot of upright vacuum cleaners on the market, but they can all be divided into several types, depending on the type of dust collector: aquafilter or container.
Container
• Here it is necessary to pay attention to the volume. The larger it is, the more massive the body, and the more difficult it will be to manage such a vacuum cleaner. For ordinary apartments, 1-2 liters is enough for the eyes, but for a country house, you may need a larger size.
Aquafilter
• The peculiarity of such a vacuum cleaner: the intake air is driven through the water, so at the exit it will be devoid of almost all contaminants. However, cleanliness turns into the need to rinse and dry the filter after each cleaning. Therefore, when buying such a vacuum cleaner, first of all, evaluate how convenient it is to handle it. They are often detergents.
Power
• The most important technical criterion. Usually, power consumption and suction power are indicated; they differ. The higher the first parameter, the noisier and more uneconomical the vacuum cleaner will be. The higher the second, the more effectively he will cope with his duties.
• I recommend buying vertical models with a suction power of 160-200 W for an ordinary apartment with carpets and pets. A model with a power above 200 W is worth buying for cleaning upholstered furniture and carpets. The lowest power 120-150W models will work well on linoleum, laminate, tile and low pile carpets.
Wired or wireless
• The cordless vacuum cleaner easily and without problems will reach even the most hard-to-reach places. True, this turns into the need for recharging – every time after cleaning you will have to put the device on the docking station.
• As a rule, corded vacuum cleaners have more power than cordless ones, but this turns out to be worse maneuverability (who among us has not tripped over a stretched wire).
Battery life
• The average operating time for inexpensive battery models is from half an hour to 40 minutes, but this is in economy mode. In turbo mode, the operating time is sharply reduced – up to 8-10 minutes. For vacuum cleaners in the high and medium price segments, the operating time in normal mode can reach up to an hour or more.
• A long working time is required only if you want to clean several rooms at a time. For cleaning a one- or two-room apartment in a leisurely mode, 30 minutes is enough.
What brand of vacuum cleaner is better to buy for home
• The question about brands is asked very often. In our time, there are many reliable manufacturers of household appliances:
- Korean Hyundai and LG,
- Chinese Midea, Xiaomi
- European Philips, Dyson and Bosch,
- Russian Polaris and Redmond
- and many more options.
• It is best not to think about which vacuum cleaner company is better, but to focus on the specifications, taking into account expert reviews and user opinions.
