Quick answer

Cordless vacuum runtime depends on power mode, floor type and attachments. Compare stated runtime with the way the home is actually cleaned.

What to check

  • Check runtime by mode, not only the longest eco figure.
  • Estimate rooms cleaned in one session.
  • Consider carpets, pet hair and boost mode separately.
  • Check charging time and battery replacement availability.
  • Review storage and charging dock position.

Trade-offs

A high-power mode can shorten runtime sharply. Swappable batteries help some homes, but add cost and charging management.
