PURKINN Cordless Vacuum

Battery runtime is 20-30 minutes per charge, depending on which mode you use. Eco mode lasts longer; Max mode runs shorter.

The 200W brushless motor generates 28,000Pa of suction across three modes. It handles light to medium cleaning tasks well, though it may not match the power of corded models for heavy debris or deep carpet cleaning.

At 2.8 lbs in handheld mode, it's lightweight and easy to move around furniture and into tight spaces. The stick-to-handheld conversion takes seconds, making quick cleanups convenient.

For pet hair, look for strong suction (roughly 20,000 Pa or more on a robot vacuum, 150 AW or more on a cordless), a tangle-resistant brush roll, a dedicated pet tool, and HEPA filtration, which by definition captures 99.97% of particles at 0.3 microns. Dyson, Shark and Bissell all make well-reviewed pet models. Use the Pet Hair Specialist filter on our comparison table to see which ones are in stock and what they cost right now.

Most manufacturers suggest replacing filters every 3 to 6 months, depending on how often you vacuum and whether you have pets. HEPA filters usually last 12 to 18 months if you clean them regularly. Washable foam filters on bagless models should be rinsed every 1 to 2 weeks and dried fully before going back in. Replacements typically run $15 to $50. A clogged filter chokes airflow, so suction drops noticeably well before the filter looks dirty.
