Dyson claims this vacuum has a runtime of 20 minutes, which we found to be surprisingly accurate: In our tests, it ran for 21 minutes on low power (8.5 minutes on high) before the battery died. Most cordless vacuums come with a variety of attachments—like crevice tools and dusting brushes—that make them even more versatile. During our testing, we frequently had to reach for crevice tools to get in the tight corners of staircases and between the cushions on upholstered furniture. You can also use these special attachments to clean curtains, vents, and more. This vacuum is NOT a toy. Please pay special attention when you are using it around a child, pet or plant. To measure noise level, we used a decibel reader with the cordless vacuum on both high and low settings and noted their findings. We also weighed each vacuum with a luggage scale attached to the handle. (By far, the lightest cordless vacuum we recommend is the Eufy HomeVac H30 Infinity, which miraculously weighs less than two pounds.) And since hair is notoriously difficult to clean even with some of the top vacuums, we also sprinkled wig hair—including short strands to resemble pet hair and long strands to resemble human hair—on those same surfaces. For carpeted surfaces, we made sure to press down so that the hair became embedded in the carpet. Testers then evaluated how much hair each cordless vacuum could remove from the various surfaces in a minute. Once completed, they inspected the brushroll for tangled hair—and if there was, they removed the hair and took note of how easy it was to clear with their hands, scissors, or an included tool (if applicable).
WARNING! DO NOT lean the vacuum against any surface (wall, edge of table, cabinet, etc) in upright position for support at any time in case it accidentally slips and falls, causing damage to the main body,. The battery capacity (vacuum run time) will reduce gradually over time. In the event the vacuum runs for less than 10 minutes every time it is fully charged, it is time to replace with a new replacement battery.Keep in mind that battery life can vary depending on the settings and attachments that you use, so it might not always be exactly what the manufacturers list. Of the vacuums we tested, the median runtime on low was 33 minutes and 15 seconds, while the median runtime on high was just 9 minutes and 43 seconds. (Generally, most models did not last as long as their advertised runtime.) For optimal performance, it is recommended to clear the dirt bin after every use. Always keep the filters clean Replace the pre-motor filter and HEPA filter yearly or whenever the air flow is weak even after proper cleaning and drying We especially appreciate this vacuum’s strong suction power, which didn’t decrease throughout the testing period. It’s also pretty lightweight and easy to maneuver, according to our tester, who says it “was easy to push around and under the furniture.” It transitioned from hardwood to carpet easily, too.
In my opinion, the Belife S11's performance speaks for itself. However, I also found the cleanup and maintenance outstanding. Cleanup One unique feature of this vacuum is its customizable configuration. While many cordless vacuums can transform into a handheld model, this one takes it a step further by allowing you to choose where you want the base of the unit: either on top for better reach under low-lying furniture or at the bottom so the vacuum is less top-heavy. Just keep in mind that at 8 pounds, this Miele cordless vacuum is heavier than most of the other models on our list—but we still found it fairly lightweight. And while the advertised battery life for this vacuum is 60 minutes, our tests found that it only lasted 33 minutes on the lowest setting before running out of power. This cordless vacuum’s head is slightly bulkier than some others we tested, which made it a little harder to clean in tight spaces without using the crevice tool. Still, it was pretty easy to use: “The vacuum maneuvers well around objects, making sharp corners,” our tester says. “However, it may miss smaller objects, like popcorn kernels, in the recessed spaces transitioning from one surface to another. The brush head is 2.5 [inches] high, so won't fit under anything more narrow than that, like furniture with short legs.” Unfortunately, the battery doesn't last forever. It is rated to operate for just 50 minutes on a single charge, and my testing found that to be pretty accurate. Although this meant I couldn't get through all three stories of my townhouse at once, it was easy enough to recharge the battery and keep going. Cleanup and Maintenance

DO NOT twist your wrist or raise your shoulder/arm excessively to vacuum at an awkward angle. This may cause injury to your muscles/ joints During our tests, we did find that we frequently had to lift the vacuum and place it directly on the mess to prevent it from just pushing the debris around. Our tester also had to empty the dustbin several times during the testing process, and they found it quite difficult to do so. It’s also worth noting that hair got tangled in the brushroll quite easily, and since it’s not removable, you’d have to use your fingers or scissors to cut the hair out. For this reason, pet owners should probably look elsewhere.
