Vax ONEPWR Blade 4

The ONEPWR Blade 4 shows how far budget cordless models have come. It handles day-to-day cleaning across carpet and hard floors competently, its removable ONEPWR battery clicks out to charge or swap for a spare, and the 0.6L bin is larger than several pricier rivals so you empty less often. Run time is around 45 minutes, and while you miss out on the sensors, sealed HEPA filtration and outright suction of the flagships, the core cleaning is solid and the washable filter keeps running costs down. For a spare-room, first-home or second-vacuum purchase, it is hard to beat on value.
