Bieiao Cordless Vacuum

Somewhere around 20 to 40 minutes, and results are mixed. Some get through a whole house or basement on one charge, while others find it drains quickly. Recharging is slow at about 3 to 4 hours, and the odd battery has quit charging within a year. Low power is the setting to use when the Bieiao has a big job ahead.

Yes, for the price. Suction is strong on both carpet and hard floors, and that comes up again and again. It's a 250 W stick, so the Bieiao won't dig like a corded upright, but everyday dirt and pet hair are well within reach.

Mostly, with one catch. Emptying is simple, but the release button is easy to hit by accident mid-clean, which dumps the bin on the floor. Some also have to pull out the inner part or clear clogs by hand. Keep your fingers clear of that button while you vacuum with the Bieiao.

Yes. At 2.7 lb it's easy to grab for quick daily passes and easy to handle around furniture and on stairs. A couple of mentions also put it on the quiet side, though that comes up less often than the weight. For a small home that gets a quick clean most days, the Bieiao fits well.

Battery level, the suction mode and clog alerts. The clog alert is the useful part, since it tells you when to stop and clear a blockage instead of guessing. A light on the floor head shows dust on dark floors and under furniture, and the screen keeps the Bieiao's battery level in view so a charge doesn't run out by surprise.
