Best Cordless Cleaners of 2025
Enjoy the freedom of cordless cleaning. Battery-powered stick vacs, wet dry vacs, and deep cleaners offer top-notch cleaning without the restriction of a power cord.
Here are seven best-performing devices which are always ready to go.

What are the benefits of cordless cleaning tools?
It’s easy to see the appeal of using a cordless stick vac or other battery-powered cleaning device. You can clean your whole home without having to stay tethered to a power outlet, and you can easily clean your car or patio furniture without having to hunt for an extension cord.
How to choose a cordless cleaner
Anytime you search for a new cleaning device, you will likely want to take in consideration some key stats, such as how large the dirt tank is – bigger means fewer trips to the waste bin mid-clean – and what tech innovations are included, such as FurFinder™ Headlights, which make it easier to see debris. For cordless cleaners specifically, runtime is a good number to know.
Best cordless hand vac for a quick cleanup
Pet Hair Eraser® Cordless Pet Hand Vacuum

For a precise and powerful clean, reach for the Pet Hair Eraser® Lithium Ion Cordless Pet Hand Vacuum.

The machine holds a charge for up to 17 minutes1 of cleaning power and has a large 0.7-liter dirt bin.
Best cordless hard floor cleaner for edge-to-edge cleaning
CrossWave® OmniForce™ Edge Multi-Surface Cleaner

Yes, you can vacuum and mop at the same time with the CrossWave® OmniForce™ Edge Multi-Surface Cleaner. But this wet dry vac also has a vacuum-only setting, so you can use it for dry messes that don’t need mopping. It has a runtime of up to 30 minutes2 and was designed to clean all the way to the baseboards with ZeroGap™ Technology. The machine’s Turbo Mode uses extra solution and suction on stubborn messes.
Best cordless hard floor cleaner for spotting messes
CrossWave® OmniFind™ Multi-Surface Cleaner

“Find” is in the name of the CrossWave® OmniFind™ Multi-Surface Cleaner, and for good reason: the wet dry vac has built in LED FurFinder™ headlights, which use high- and low-beams to brightly illuminate pet fur and debris. You can vacuum and mop for up to 25 minutes2 with this machine, which – like all CrossWave® models – cleans hard, sealed floors and refreshes area rugs.

The Little Green® Mini Cordless Portable Deep Cleaner delivers the same spraying and scrubbing performance as the original machine, removing spots and stains from upholstery and carpet for up to 20 minutes3 at a time. Its small footprint – the dirty tank holds just 13.5 ounces – makes it easy to move and store.
Best cordless stick vac for everyday cleaning
PowerClean® FurFinder™ Stick Vacuum

Cordless convenience with up to 40 minutes4 of runtime is just one selling point of the PowerClean® FurFinder™ Stick Vacuum, which weighs just 7.3 lbs.

You get the same 3-in-1 design, 7.3 lb weight, state-of-the-art FurFinder™ headlights, and powerful upholstery tool. But this top-of-the-line model has a motor with 80W more power, delivers up to 50 minutes4 of runtime (10 minutes more than the FurFinder™ version), and has a self-cleaning FurGuard™ Brush Roll which tackles long hair without tangling.
Cordless cleaning questions and answers
Q: What are the benefits of cordless vacuums, deep cleaners, and floor cleaners?
A: Cordless cleaning tools offer convenience and flexibility. No need to hunt for an outlet or untangle a cord as you move between rooms, clean stairs, and reach into tight spaces. Cordless vacuums, mops, and deep cleaners are a hassle-free solution for quick cleanups and spot cleaning.
Q: Are there specific cordless vacuum models that are better for pet fur?
A: Yes, some cordless vacuum models, such as our Pet Proven® certified machines, are engineered with pet owners in mind. They include specialized features and attachments designed to tackle stubborn pet fur and other dry messes. For instance, a Tangle-Free Brush Roll keeps fur and hair from wrapping around the bristles, FurFinder™ Headlights illuminate pet hair and kitty litter, and HEPA and SMARTSEAL® filtering systems capture microscopic pet dander that can trigger allergies.
Q: Are there specific cordless deep cleaners that are better for pet accidents?
A: Absolutely. Our Pet Proven™ certified cordless deep cleaners can be paired with a BISSELL® cleaning formula to effectively remove every trace of yucky pet messes. Through a combination of spraying, scrubbing, and suction, pet urine and other bio-messes can be washed out of carpet and upholstery. Having a cordless machine can help you spring into action, as you don’t even need to plug in the machine before you start to clean. (Learn how to remove pet urine from carpeting.)
Q: What are the best methods for maintaining a cordless cleaning device?
A: Proper maintenance of your cordless vacuum, upholstery cleaner, or hard floor cleaner is similar to that of corded machines. To keep suction strong, should regularly empty the dirt bin after each use or whenever it reaches the fill line. Clean or replace filters following the instructions in the owner’s manual and inspect and clean the brush roll and hoses regularly, removing any debris. With a cordless cleaner, you’ll want to keep the machine charged in between uses so it’s always ready to tackle sudden spills and messes.
