Some cordless vacuums have powerful motors and specialized brushrolls designed for deep cleaning carpets, while others may struggle to pick up embedded dirt and debris.

When fully charged, the battery provides enough power to operate the vacuum for a certain amount of time, depending on the model and usage.

To use a cordless vacuum, you simply turn it on and use it to clean floors, carpets, and other surfaces as needed. The vacuum uses a motor to create suction, which pulls dirt and debris into a dustbin or bag.

One of the main advantages of cordless vacuums is their portability and convenience. Because they don't have a cord, they can be easily moved from room to room and used to clean areas that are hard to reach with a traditional corded vacuum.
