Take a look at your normal hygiene maintenance or home improvement schedule. Usually, when do you do the general cleaning of your apartment or room, mainly on holidays, right? Now wouldn’t it be awesome if you could use this vacation to get some work done quick and enjoy, maybe watch a movie on TV or put a nice CD in the audio player? The idea is to relax in a day that you have for yourself. Reasons like this compel companies around the world to come up with new innovations. Thus the portable vacuum cleaner was born.

Once this cleaning machine reached homes, people realized what they had been missing all along. Not only was it much lighter than a bagged upright vac, it was also lighter and more flexible than a bagless canister vac. Even to this day, the main argument in favor of portable vacuum cleaners, despite their relatively lower suction power compared to larger ones, has been the light weight and great compactness of the device. It is so compact that one can easily use it with one hand in case the other hand needs to be occupied. It’s not uncommon to see people catching up with friends on their phones while cleaning their rooms with a portable model. Yes, it’s that easy.

If you live in a relatively large house, you would obviously be terrified of having to carry or drag around a giant vacuum cleaner. If you have to climb stairs in those houses and drag the big boat or heavy bag, save yourself everyone the trouble and buy a portable machine. They weigh so little that even children can use them without any problems. It doesn’t really hurt to instill some hygiene habits in kids, does it?

There are two main varieties of portable vacuum cleaners: corded and cordless. Now here’s the important thing to remember before deciding which product to buy based on variables like ease and mobility. The cordless portable cleaner is obviously more mobile and can be easily used in outdoor places such as parking lots and on the road. In fact, when traveling long distances in your own car, it’s a really ‘cool’ idea to take a portable vacuum.

However, for all the benefits that a cordless portable vacuum offers in terms of movement, its main purpose, the ability to suck up dirt, depends on the life of the battery inside. If the battery is old or running low, it naturally affects the suction power, and in the worst stages, it can barely suck. From this point of view, a corded model is more practical if you are indoors, since you will never have to compromise on suction since the power is always constant.
