Runtime vs continuous use

Cordless runtime varies by power setting and battery condition; corded models can run as long as needed within cable reach.

Canadian winter cleanups

Frequent small cleanups around entrances can favour convenience, while larger carpeted homes may value uninterrupted runtime.

Battery replacement

Check whether the battery is replaceable and what a replacement costs in Canada.

Storage and charging

A cordless vacuum needs a practical charging location without creating a trip or electrical-cord problem.
