Checklist For Handheld Vacuum Cleaners

The Different Variants Of Handheld Vacuum Cleaners
  • Handheld vacuum cleaners are available with a cord or as a cordless device, with corded models usually having significantly more suction power.
  • Some manufacturers also offer handheld vacuum cleaners that can be equipped with a handle or”normal” battery vacuum cleaners” in which the handheld vacuum cleaner is integrated.
The Power
  • Handheld vacuum cleaners with a cord reach a power of about 400 W up to 700 W.
  • For cordless handheld vacuum cleaners, the power is between 45 W and 170 watts.
  • Since the data in watts only reflects the power consumption, this does not necessarily mean that the battery-powered hand vacuum cleaners actually achieve only a fraction of the suction line of the corded devices.
The Container Volume
  • Handheld vacuum cleaners are almost without exception bagless. Therefore, you should pay attention to the size of the collection container here.
  • Depending on the model, the capacity of the collection container is between 0.4 l and 1.2 l.
  • Cordless handheld vacuum cleaners offer significantly fewer options here with approx. 0.4 to 0.6 lit ers. However, they score with extreme flexibility.
The Volume
  • Smaller devices are often also the ones that impress with a low noise level.
  • The range of volume for handheld vacuum cleaners is between approx., 35 dB to 80 dB. 36 dB roughly corresponds to a quietly conducted conversation, 80 dB could be compared to a hair dryer being switched on.
The Weight
  • Cordless handheld vacuum cleaners weigh between approx. 0.6 kg and 1.5 kg.
  • Somewhat heavier can be handheld vacuum cleaners with longer handle, they weigh up to 3 kg.
The Freedom Of Movement
  • With a cordless handheld vacuum cleaner, you are not restricted in anything here and can usually reach even the most angled corners easily.
  • Handheld vacuum cleaners with a mains connection have a range of about 6 to 10 m.
The Power Duration
  • With a corded hand vacuum cleaner, you can vacuum for as long as you like.
  • With a cordless hand vacuum, it is recommended to take a look at the respective runtime and the shortest possible charging time. The runtime is usually between 20 min and 40 min. Much greater differences arise in the charging time. It can takeonly 40 min, but also 4 to 5 hours.
