The Best Cordless Vacuums And Lightweight Vacuums

---

The ideal lightweight cordless vacuum combines:

• Feather-light handling—easy to maneuver and carry.
   
• Strong suction despite compact size.
   
• Decent battery life for sustained cleaning.
   
• Convenient attachments and easy maintenance, especially dustbin emptying.
   
• Filtration features for households with pets or allergy concerns.

Weighing just 2.6 lb at the handle, this model impresses with Dyson-grade performance in a compact, agile package. It’s perfect for grab-and-go cleanups, above-floor tasks, and tight spaces, though the small dustbin and shorter 20-minute (medium-power) runtime are worth noting.

Praised for its versatility, powerful suction, swivel head, and user-friendly touchscreen—this model is well-suited for households juggling different floor types. Battery life ~39 minutes in low mode. 

A standout for maneuverability, this vacuum is light (~4 lb), with a dual roller head ideal for gliding across hardwood and tile. Its compact design makes cleaning around furniture almost effortless. Battery life is around 30 minutes in normal mode

An excellent value with robust suction, just 3.75 lb weight, green laser (like Dyson's), and flexible wand. The materials and packaging feel budget-friendly, but performance per cost is strong

A top performer for versatility—veted for both hard floors and carpets, pet hair pickup, a flexible design, and good filtration. Battery life is decent, though weight is slightly higher than featherweight models

Often cited as one of the best overall cordless vacuums, not solely for lightweight design but performance. Laser dust detection, powerful suction, up to ~60 minutes battery, and excellent for hard floors and pet hair. Some users point to its high cost and small dustbin as tradeoffs
