TOP 10 Best Cordless Upright Vacuum Cleaners

Xiaomi Jimmy JV53

The winner of the rating was a newcomer to the market, which in a few months conquered hundreds of thousands of users around the world with its performance. In the Russian Federation, sales of this vacuum cleaner started at the beginning of this year. Despite this, he already has his fans in our country. A brief overview provides an understanding of the reasons for the high demand:

1. brushless motor (100,000 rpm) - quiet and durable.
2. suction power 125 Aut. At the moment, only Dyson V11 is more powerful, but it also costs several times more.
3. Large-diameter, flexible brush with a combination of hard and soft fibers for better cleaning and polishing results.
4. A large number of attachments.
5. Dual-Cyclonic filtration system. The efficiency of the air purification system reaches 99%.
6. Effective removal of dust mites from furniture with a special nozzle.
7. Removable battery. Easy replacement of the battery with a new one in case of failure, unlike the Dyson V11 Absolute and Xiaomi JIMMY JV71 models, whose owners will need special skills or the help of the service center specialists.
8. You can purchase a second battery and increase the autonomy of the device.
9. RF certification.

pros

• Price;
• Ergonomics - convenient location of control buttons, telescopic tube;
• Complete set (nozzle with electric brush for the floor; nozzle with a small electric brush; large and small crevice nozzles, nozzle with a brush for furniture and clothes, wall mount);
• Cleaning quality with minimal dust entering the air;
• Brushless motor;
• Powerful removable battery - up to 45 minutes of battery life;
• certification in the Russian Federation;
• Detailed instructions in Russian with intuitive diagrams.

Minuses:

• impossibility of vertical parking without using a wall mount;
• The translation of the instruction into Russian is incorrect in some parts.

The acceptable price is 15,000 rubles. Xiaomi Jimmy JV53 is an improved version of the JV51 model. At the same time, it has not undergone global changes. Among the differences, one can note a slight design update (change of color accents) and a slightly increased suction power. Considering that it is only 25% more expensive than its predecessor and at the same time remains one of the most affordable of its kind.This vacuum cleaner deservedly takes 2nd place in the ranking. The best solution in terms of price-quality ratio.

Dyson V11 Absolute

It differs from the leader of the rating for the better by a greater suction power of 185 watts in the volume of a dust collector (0.76 l versus 0.5). In addition, it boasts an intuitive operation, which was realized using an LCD display. It displays information about the battery status, operating mode, and in case of abnormal situations (blockage in the system, or the need to clean the filter) - a warning message. But the main feature of the model is a proprietary Dyson V11 digitally controlled engine and a dynamic load sensor system. Sensors automatically determine the type of surface, the level of its contamination, allowing you to adjust the power of the motor in real time (works only with the main brush). This results in the highest quality cleaning combined with energy savings. By the way, the model has a non-removable battery with a capacity of 3,600 mAh - up to 60 minutes of battery life. The ergonomics of the model deserves special attention. The set includes 9 attachments for different purposes, a convenient storage system for the vacuum cleaner itself on a wall bracket, and attachments in special bracket trays and on the vacuum cleaner tube, using a complete clip. The whole effect is overshadowed by the mass of the device, the vacuum cleaner is heavy, moreover, the protruding dust collector shifts the center of gravity forward, which leads to the need for additional efforts in holding the vacuum cleaner. Also, compared to Xiaomi Jimmy JV53, it works more noisy. The price is 45,000 rubles.

pros

• Quality of materials and workmanship;
• Equipment;
• Ergonomics - convenient use and storage of the vacuum cleaner and attachments;
• The volume of the container for collecting dust;
• Automatic adjustment of the motor power in real time;
• High suction power;
• Informative LCD display;
• Autonomy up to 60 minutes;
• 2 year warranty.

Minuses

• Price;
• Slippery handle;
• Heavy;
• Noisy;
• Non-removable battery;
• Dry cleaning only - unreasonable considering the price.

The high price and weight of 3 kg, together with the poor location of the container for collecting dust, are the two main complaints from users about this vacuum cleaner. If this does not bother you, you can buy this model. On the other hand, the savings are almost three times, with a slight loss in performance and autonomy of the vacuum cleaner, is very tempting. If the financial issue is acute for you, I recommend Xiaomi Jimmy JV53 or Morphy Richards. They cope with cleaning no worse, and without automatic adjustment of motor power and LCD display, it is quite possible to do.

Morphy Richards Supervac Deluxe 734050

It differs from the leaders of the rating in compactness, lightness, and therefore improved maneuverability. This model can rightfully be attributed to the best cordless vacuum cleaners due to its high technical performance. A reliable battery allows you to vacuum for an hour without recharging - up to 120 square meters of premises. A more intensive cleaning in turbo mode will last 20 minutes and is suitable for heavily soiled surfaces or the interior of the car. In this case, the power of the device is 110 Aut.

Thanks to three configurations and four attachments, the vacuum cleaner easily adapts to the interior. The upright version with a unique folding handle is ideal for cleaning smooth floors, even under the bed. The Handstick configuration will provide access to skirting boards, spaces between furniture, ceiling cornices. Manual mode is suitable for cleaning sofas or car seats, removing fine dust from the keyboard, etc.

For dust filtration, four stages of cleaning with a HEPA filter are responsible. The volume of a dust collector of 500 ml is easily enough for one cleaning session. The modern cleaning method allows you to get rid of debris in one stroke and not come into contact with accumulated dirt. A floor station is used to charge and store the vacuum cleaner. Separately, it is worth noting the high build quality and a 2-year warranty, including the battery.

pros

• Power 110 Aut.
• 3 in 1 device.
• Long battery life.
• Roomy dust collector.
• Manufacturer's warranty.

Minuses

• Not found.

The model is positioned by the manufacturer as a device for daily cleaning of small apartments. Has a premium design, looks more expensive than the leaders of the rating. At the same time, Morphy Richards 734050 is more compact and maneuverable.. But the key factor that made it possible for this vacuum cleaner to get into the top 3 is the price, it fully corresponds to the quality, materials, assembly, and operation of the device - the best option in terms of price-quality ratio, if you do not need additional attachments and functionality.

Share in the comments how you think the cordless upright vacuum cleaner can completely replace the standard corded vacuum cleaner.

Xiaomi JIMMY JV71

One of the lightest vacuum cleaners in the TOP 10. It weighs less than one and a half kilograms, while in terms of functionality and performance it is not much inferior to the leader of the Jimmy JV53 rating. Equipped with a similar brushless motor with a power of 100,000 rpm, an identical container in volume. Moreover, it has an extended configuration. In the box of this vacuum cleaner, there is a brush for the ceiling and corrugation for easy cleaning. Already familiar nozzles have undergone some changes and became more convenient in use - A special lock allows you to change the length of the furniture nozzle and the crevice nozzle for cleaning in hard-to-reach places. A nice feature of the vacuum cleaner is the ability to store it vertically without any supports. However, there is a stand in the kit. It is simple, floor-standing, with guides for the power supply. On the body of the vacuum cleaner there are connectors that automatically connect to the charger when installed on the stand. The price is 16,500 rubles.

pros

• Price;
• Design;
• Ease;
• Compactness;
• Ergonomics (a large number of convenient attachments, storage in an upright position without stands and supports);
• Autonomy;
• Good suction power.

Minuses

• Non-removable battery.

The vacuum cleaner, by today's standards, is almost perfect, but you should think about whether additional attachments and the possibility of vertical parking are so important to you in order to overpay 1,500 rubles for it. In my opinion, Xiaomi Jimmy JV53 is a priority from a price point of view. Not everyone will feel a little more weight in practice. The vast majority of users note the ease of use of the JV53 and do not complain about its weight.

Hoover H-FREE

Closing the top five is another compact and rather light device (weight 2.4 kg) from the American brand, which released the world's first vacuum cleaner almost 100 years ago. Suction power of the model ≈ 130 Aut. According to this parameter, it can easily compete with all models in the ranking, except for the Dyson V11 Absolute. Features of the model:

• backlighting on a turbo brush - convenient cleaning in dark corners of the apartment;
• innovative nozzle H-LAB FLAT & DRIVE - the ability to switch the angle of the nozzle between 90º and 180º with a light movement of the hand for greater maneuverability in hard-to-reach places. In addition, it is equipped with a hinge with a special stopper that allows you to fix the vacuum cleaner in an upright position and store it without any supports;
• The volume of the container for collecting dust 0.8 l is one of the best indicators on the market and the best in this rating.
• Price 15,000 rubles

pros

• Price;
• Brand;
• Lightweight (relative to competitors);
• Compactness;
• Good suction power;
• Equipment;
• Large container;
• innovative nozzle H-LAB FLAT & DRIVE;
• LED lighting on the brush;
• "parking" mode at the large electric brush.

Minuses

• Mediocre autonomy (up to 25 minutes).

A vacuum cleaner from a brand that pioneered this trend. There can be no doubts about the reliability and performance of the device, and the attractive price makes it one of the most popular on the market. In defense of the small autonomy, which is almost half the average, I can note that due to the special design of the nozzle of this vacuum cleaner, the time required for cleaning in hard-to-reach places is reduced.As a result, 25 minutes is enough to clean an average apartment. It is not necessary to clean the container after each cleaning, as you will have to do with most modern upright vacuum cleaners.

Bosch BCS61113 Unlimited 6

A well-known German brand offers a rather interesting device, which occupies an honorable 6th place in the rating. The vacuum cleaner is the most compact in the manufacturer's line. Equipped with the proprietary DigitalSpin brushless motor and the AllFloor Power turbo brush, allowing you to clean any surface. The battery of the device participates in the Power for ALL system and fits dozens more Bosch tools for home and garden. It should be noted the low level of autonomy of the device (up to 30 minutes). The package bundle is modest compared to the top models, but the capabilities of the turbo brush, flexible crevice nozzle and upholstery nozzle are enough for everyday cleaning. The price is 19,900 rubles.

pros

• Brand;
• Ease;
• Compactness;
• Universal, removable battery compatible with other Bosch devices.

Minuses

• Price;
• Mediocre autonomy;
• Small dust collector.

Not a bad option for keeping the apartment clean, but part of the price is a surcharge for the brand. The competitors from Xiaomi, discussed above, surpass this model in terms of autonomy and functionality, while being cheaper, and Morphy Richards 734055, at the same price, boasts a premium design and 3 operating modes. So if you are not a fan of Bosch, and you do not have other devices with which you can use a compatible battery, it is better to give preference to the leaders of the rating.

PRO-EXPERT V9

An interesting offer located on the border of the budget and medium price segments. "Under the hood" of the device is a powerful brushless motor. 4 stages of filtration are responsible for air purity. The advantages of the model are low weight and low noise level during operation. In terms of suction power, it is not inferior to vacuum cleaners in the middle price segment, about 130 Aut (3 levels are available) All the necessary attachments for high-quality cleaning are included in the kit. Autonomy up to 50 minutes. The price is 13,500 rubles.

pros

• Price;
• Brushless motor;
• Equipment;
• Ease;
• Compactness;
• Ergonomics - comfortable handle at an angle of 60 degrees, good location of control buttons;
• Low noise level compared to more expensive models;
• Large suction power;
• 3 modes of operation;
• Manufacturer's warranty 2 years (1 year for the vacuum cleaner and 1 year for the motor).

Minuses

• Not found

The vacuum cleaner is excellent for its price, although many still do not want to trust little-known brands, preferring, for example, Xiaomi appliances. To some extent, this is justified and I support such buyers by recommending the Xiaomi Jimmy JV53. - more thought-out ergonomics and rich equipment fully justify the overpayment of 1,500 rubles.

Weissgauff V9 Cyclone

On the 8th place is the representative of the German brand Weissgauff, which can already be attributed to the budget segment, because it costs only 9,000 rubles. For this amount, a 4 in 1 vacuum cleaner is offered. Like Morphy Richards 734055, it can be transformed into a standard upright vacuum cleaner, a portable vacuum cleaner, a vacuum cleaner for cleaning crevices, a vacuum cleaner for the care of furniture and curtains. The latter became possible thanks to a special attachment. The main brush is also special - it is equipped with LED backlight. The heart of the vacuum cleaner is an inverter motor, which, together with SuperSilent technology, allows you to achieve a fairly quiet operation, the noise level is comparable to the top models of well-known brands. The suction power and container volume are also on par with more expensive vacuum cleaners. But the V9 Cyclone has problems with autonomy. The model is equipped with a 2000 mAh battery and can operate on a single charge for about 20 minutes - a weak indicator, even for budget vacuum cleaners.

pros

• Price;
• 4 modes of use;
• Ease;
• Compactness;
• Brushless motor;
• Large suction power;
• Backlight on the main brush.

Minuses

• White, easily soiled;
• Weak autonomy.

The vacuum cleaner is not bad, but even among state employees there are worthy competitors with better autonomy. Suitable for express room cleaning. For a complete cleaning of the apartment, it is better to choose any of the above options.

REDMOND RV-UR380

A vacuum cleaner from a domestic manufacturer is quite popular in our country. The high demand is explained by the price of 9,900 rubles and a 2-year manufacturer's warranty. The suction power of this model is noticeably lower than all previous rating participants - only 80 watts. In practice, this is enough for collecting rather large fractions even from carpets; it just takes more time to clean. In terms of autonomy, the vacuum cleaner shows standard 30 minutes for the budget segment. When operating in turbo mode, this figure is reduced by at least half. The peculiarity of the model is the presence of an informative LED display - not every expensive vacuum cleaner can boast of such an option.

pros

• Price;
• LED display with current information on the operating mode and battery status;
• 2 year warranty.

Minuses

• Heavy;
• Quite large and less maneuverable compared to competitors;
• Suction power is mediocre compared to competitors.

Not a bad budget alternative to domestic production. Suitable for those who are forced to save. In other cases, I highly recommend paying attention to the Hoover H-FREE or Xiaomi Jimmy JV53. The first option is interesting with a large container, a convenient, maneuverable backlit brush, and the second is versatile, thanks to a large number of nozzles.

Tefal TY6545RH

Few know, but a French brand, without whose ideas we can not do without vacuum cleaners. Model TY6545RH had the honor to close the top ten. This is the most budgetary option with the minimum configuration, nevertheless, it copes with the cleaning function no worse than the REDMOND RV-UR380. It is also more than 1 kg lighter than the competitor and has an enlarged container for collecting dust. The turbo brush is equipped with LED lighting, making it easy to clean in dimly lit areas. Additional attachments are not provided. Autonomy up to 30 minutes. The price is 7,000 rubles.

pros

• Price;
• Brush illumination;
• Ease;
• Compactness;
• Large container.

Minuses

• Non-separable design;
• Weak suction power, cannot cope with coarse debris;
• Package contents - no additional attachments and storage stands;
• Judging by user reviews, there is a certain percentage of defects.

Not a bad budget solution for daily cleaning, perhaps the best vacuum cleaner in its price segment. Competitors with similar characteristics from other brands cost several thousand more. On the other hand, users complain about the weak electronics of the device, which quickly breaks down. Is it worth the risk in the desire to save as much as possible - you decide, at least check the correct design of the warranty card.

In my opinion, it is better to dig up and purchase vacuum cleaners, the reliability and performance of which are appreciated by thousands of users. Xiaomi Jimmy JV53, Morphy Richards 734055 and Hoover H-FREE remain optimal in terms of price-quality ratio. At the same time, each has its own disadvantages and none of them can replace a full-fledged vacuum cleaner by 100%. Dyson V11 Absolute is beyond the power of this, despite the leadership in suction power in the rating, you should not overpay tens of thousands of rubles for it. Regarding budget vacuum cleaners, the following can be noted, they are all approximately the same in key characteristics and it is not easy to make an objective choice in favor of a certain model. In my opinion, the Weissgauff V9 Cyclone is the best in the segment up to 10,000 rubles - German quality, lightness, compactness and backlight on the brush. Its disadvantage is autonomy, according to this criterion, it is insignificant, but inferior to competitors in its price segment.

Which of the ten vacuum cleaner presented did you like. Or maybe you have your own leader among upright vacuum cleaners that didn't make it to my rating.Write about it in the comments.

Varieties of vertical vacuum cleaners

A variety of modifications of vertical vacuum cleaners are presented on store shelves. Some of them are wired, others are battery operated, there are washing and carpet models.Let's take a closer look at the varieties according to the power source and the stupidity of the dust collector.

Differences by power source

Wired

The power reaches 300 W, it is enough to collect dust even from pile carpets. Conventional vacuum cleaners at a similar price have a higher power - up to 500 watts. Corded vacuum cleaners are the best choice for cleaning carpets, as the power of rechargeable ones is always lower. In addition, they do not limit the usage time of the power supply charge.

The absence of a battery also reduces the overall weight of the structure, which opens up room for designers to increase the weight and power of other components - the motor or filters, add functionality, for example, wet cleaning or ionization of the outgoing air.

Please note that not all models have an automatic cord rewind so that you do not need to manually wind it around the vacuum cleaner every time, choose with this function.

Wireless

Battery powered vacuum cleaners are distinguished by their autonomy, small size and wide application. Their niche is premises without access to the network or of a large size, where it is inconvenient to use wires. Cordless models are considered safer, as you cannot receive a strong electric shock from them.

Battery powered models are fully collapsible and foldable, they are often very compact, can be used as car vacuum cleaners.. When choosing, you should pay attention to the type of the installed battery, Li-lon batteries are considered more durable in comparison with NiMH cells.

The disadvantage of cordless vacuum cleaners is that the engine is not as powerful as in vacuum cleaners with a network connection, the significant weight of the structure, which adds the battery.

Different types of dust collectors

Dust collectors in vertical vacuum cleaners are no different from conventional modifications and can be represented by paper and cloth bags, a container with a cyclone filter or an aqua filter.

Bags

Available in disposable and reusable fabric or paper bags. The cloth bags are reusable and should be replaced once a month. Paper bags are disposable; after each cleaning, such a bag is thrown away with the collected waste.

In this modification, the bag itself acts as a filter, consists of several layers that do not allow dust to enter the device motor. In modern vacuum cleaners, they are supplemented with fine filters and a HEPA filter at the outlet.

Cyclone filter

If the vacuum cleaner uses cyclonic filtration, it is equipped with a plastic container. Getting into the container, the litter swirls, the centrifugal force presses it against the walls, and the clean air passes further to the motor and the outlet, where it is met by additional fine filtration. The advantage of this container is its ease of cleaning and high suction power, in comparison with bags. The cyclone filter does not require replacement, with the exception of its fabric elements providing fine filtration.

Aqua filter

The filtration system uses a container with water, dust and debris settles in it, and the purified air passes on. The advantage of the design is air humidification, a high degree of filtration, no filter replacement is required. At the end of cleaning, the water from the container is drained, the container itself is cleaned. The downside of the design is its price and bulkiness.

Detergents

The vacuum cleaner is complemented by a structure for supplying clean water, a tank for collecting contaminated water. It can be powered from the mains or from the battery. Detergents also perform dry cleaning. It can be used for washing hard floors and carpets, collecting liquids, freshening and humidifying the air in the house. The model also has disadvantages - a large mass and worse maneuverability, high cost.

Advantages and disadvantages of vertical vacuum cleaners

Pros:

• Compact, require little storage space.
• The weight is less than that of conventional models, easily overcome thresholds and are carried to other floors, can be used by weight.
• There are no separate hoses, which are often confused and interfere with movement.
• No need to take off and put on parts before and after use.
• Some models can be used as a removable handheld vacuum cleaner.
• Autonomous work in case of battery power supply.

Minuses:

• The power is lower than conventional models. Even wired models show less power compared to stationary vacuum cleaners.
• Battery-powered modifications have a short run time and take a long time to charge.
• The garbage container is relatively small.

Criterias of choice

1. Suction power. The more powerful the engine, the more the electric fan spins inside the device, which means that such a device will suck small debris and dirt into the dust collector without problems and delays. Do not confuse power consumption with suction power. The limiting indicator of the efficiency of the vacuum cleaner is 800 watts. But more often, you can find models with a suction power from 150 to 600 watts.
2. The weight. Still, this is an important parameter, because the entire device will be in your hands. Our rating includes both weighty models and lighter ones, pay attention to this indicator. Sometimes, the upright vacuum cleaner has to be lifted and held on weight - for example, when it is necessary to collect cobwebs from the ceiling. The lightweight model will not cause you any inconvenience.
3. The volume of the container for collecting waste and its type.
4. Filters. They can be foam, fibrous, electrostatic, carbon. The most effective are HEPA filters - porous membranes that trap even the smallest dust particles - from 0.06 microns. But any of the listed filters must be cleaned regularly and changed in a timely manner - then you are guaranteed high-quality cleaning and removal of unpleasant odors in the room.
5. Battery capacity, charging time and battery life. It is best to choose Li-lon batteries, they have an advantage in all respects over NiMH.
6. Noise during operation - the indicators declared by the manufacturer do not always correspond to reality, it is best to test the model in a store.
7. Equipment - included nozzles and brushes, hanging bracket, charging station, maintenance tools and more.
