Munich – The decisive question before buying a vacuum cleaner is whether it should be a
cordless device or a vacuum cleaner with a cable
.
Whether it's Black Friday or any other day.
As a comprehensive test by Stiftung Warentest shows, cordless vacuum cleaners are significantly more expensive than competing corded devices, often costing more than 700 euros.
In very few cases, these cost more than 300 euros.
On top of that, none of the corded vacuum cleaners received a grade worse than "satisfactory" in the test results of the consumer advocates.
The cordless devices tested, on the other hand, show a clear drop in performance during the test.
In concrete terms, this means that only a few of the devices are good, while many are rated "sufficient" or even "poor".
But first we want to clarify which device is suitable for whom – in order to be able to make a
purchase decision for Black Friday 2022
at all.
We then turn our attention to the results of the practical test.
Seven decision-making aids in Black Week 2022: Corded or cordless vacuum cleaner?
Endurance:
Good cordless vacuum cleaners already give up after twelve to 16 minutes at full power.
Cable vacuums score points here and are more practical in large apartments or for extensive spring cleaning.
Energy consumption should therefore be taken into account in every purchase decision.
According to consumer advocates, cable models consume about twice as much electricity as cordless vacuum cleaners over the entire life cycle of the device.
One point that consumers should definitely take into account when buying a new one in view of the current energy crisis: the vacuum cleaner's hunger for electricity.
Practical handling:
Cordless devices are much more practical on stairs and have an advantage over cable vacuum cleaners that are often shaky and heavy.
In addition, cordless devices are more manoeuvrable and can be converted into a handy small vacuum cleaner in just a few simple steps.
Allergy sufferers:
Here the consumer advocates recommend the vacuum cleaners, which hold back the dust very well.
Models with a dust box are rather unfavorable for people who are allergic to house dust.
Because when the box is emptied, a lot of dust is usually thrown up.
According to the tester, cordless vacuum cleaners with small containers are particularly unsuitable for this.
Bagged teats that are easy to remove are preferable in this case.
Classic cylinder vacuum cleaners offer a large selection here.
Animal hair:
Here it is important to look closely.
Because even good canister vacuum cleaners often reach their limits.
Cordless vacuum cleaners with electric brushes can score points here for successfully removing animal hair.
Noise
is also an important criterion: according to the test result, only a few canister vacuum cleaners are good and quiet at the same time.
Those with a battery, on the other hand, are usually uncomfortably loud.
Some models reached a sound level of more than 80 decibels in the carpet test.
Value for money:
Cable vacuums with a good quality rating are available for less than 100 euros.
For a cheap, good cordless vacuum cleaner, on the other hand, consumers have to spend a lot.

After the fundamental decision - battery or cable - the consumer advocates cleaned the parlors with the test models under stricter conditions.
It turned out that many cable vacuum cleaners had a hard time picking up coarse debris and animal hair from the carpet.
The
models from Bosch and Miele
(promotional link) managed this best.
The
Philipps
vacuum cleaner had a harder time when it came to "vacuuming", but it also got the grade "good" in the overall rating.

A different picture emerges when looking at the cordless vacuum cleaners.
Only two models from Bosch deliver good results when vacuuming.
Running time, volume, energy performance caused a point deduction in the overall rating of the Dyson.
All in all, the overall rating for this model is still “good”.
cordless vacuum cleaner | test verdict | price in euro |
Bosch BSS825CARP | Good (grade 2.4) | 630.00 |
Bosch BSS825ALL | Good (grade 2.3) | 605.00 |
Dyson V11 Absolute Extra SV17 | Good (grade 2.2) | 730.00 |
People with allergies to animal hair and house dust should consider when buying that contact with the collected dirt is often unavoidable.
More cable vacuums with bags are suitable for them.

and the

with "good".
The prices for these models are between 110.00 and 234.00 euros.
All in all, the new test results (Issue 2/2022) show that corded vacuum cleaners often perform better than cordless vacuum cleaners when it comes to suction power.
According to Stiftung Warentest, however, the ecological balance of the wireless devices is better overall than that of the cable vacuum cleaners.
This is often due to the actively rotating brushes during cleaning.
As a tip when buying a device, the testers advise consumers to make sure that there is always a spare battery for a cordless vacuum cleaner.
And this should also be available many years after the purchase of the device.
Otherwise, the ecological balance will be unfavourable.
Consumers would then have to buy a new device prematurely and unnecessarily.
Incidentally, the previous year showed that consumers preferred to buy electronic devices when hunting for bargains on Black Friday 2021.
Smartphones took first place in consumers' shopping baskets.
Bagless vacuum cleaners took 5th place. Radiant heaters and rowing machines, on the other hand, did not score.
That should change at least for radiant heaters this year.
They are now in high demand among customers due to the energy crisis.
If you miss Black Friday or want to benefit from further deals, you can look forward to discounts of up to 60 percent on
