The modern vacuum cleaner market is dominated by cordless models, but having tested a whole bunch of vacuums of different kinds, I’m here to tell you you shouldn’t discount a corded model. Sure, it’s a bit less convenient to have to plug and unplug as you go, but if you can get over that, then corded vacuums have many big benefits.
The suction power is typically superior to cordless vacs, and they tend to last longer overall, too. And, of course, you’ll never have to pause mid-clean and wait for your vacuum to recharge.
