WYZE Cordless Vacuum

On a single charge, expect 20-30 minutes of runtime. ECO mode stretches this to 50 minutes. Higher suction modes drain the battery faster. A second battery pack doubles your total runtime to 100 minutes.

It works well on hard floors, tile, and low-pile carpets. Performance drops on deep-pile rugs or heavily soiled floors.

The noise level is moderate, similar to other stick vacuums. It's not excessively loud but may not suit noise-sensitive spaces.

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.
