Cordless vacuum cleaner recommendation

Merlin5 · 2 Feb 2026 at 19:06

Hi guys. I'm going to replace my old bagless cylinder vac (the type you pull along on two wheels) and I was thinking of buying another similar one but have now decided it'll be nicer to have one of those cordless rechargeable stick vacuums, particularly as it'll make it easier to reach up onto ceilings (cobwebs around lights, etc). This one has good reviews

but of course Amazon always shows a gazillion other similar machines to confuse me ranging from £70 to £170. Should I just buy the one I linked or do I not need to spend that much?
For anyone that has a cordless vacuum, as far as recharging, am I right in thinking it takes about 4 to 5 hours for about an hour of use?

Looks like a Dyson clone but the reviews look really solid for such a cheap ( compared to Dyson ) cordless.

As for recharge time it varies and you would look to look that up for the machine, you can ask questions on that website and owners can answer if they can be bothered.

I certainy would not spend less than that, its very cheap at £117.

I got the Dyson V8 Advanced for £219 on Amazon a couple of weeks ago, and there's a few places still selling close to that.
Vax blade is also worth a look at (I've the Dyson downstairs and the Vax blade pet upstairs, and both work very well), and are not much more than the one you linked to.

Thank you that's advice good. I think I'll go ahead and buy it then, plus it's going to revert back to £169.99 in 3 hours. I looked closer at the photos and it takes 4 hours for 65 minutes runtime which seems good enough.

Thanks.You're right, those Vax machines are good prices. The cheapest one at £120 looks good although it says 45 mins runtime compared to 65 minutes on the Uninell. I think I'll buy for the Uninell and see how that goes.
