A cordless hoover might just be the niftiest bit of cleaning kit out there, making a quick whizz round the lounge and up the stairs a five minute job, rather than a huge chore.
For lucky Amazon Prime shoppers in the market for a new one, the 4.2 starred Akitas Cordless Vacuum Cleaner Upright Handheld Stick Lightweight Rechargeable Lithium Battery Good For Carpet, Pet Hair (AKV8) is currently £59.48, down a whopping 41% from £99.99.
It has a 40-minute runtime, ideal for hoovering flats and smaller homes in one go. It’s lightweight—weighing 2.4kg—so it should be easy to manoeuvre and lug upstairs. Bagless and cordless, it also comes with an eco setting and adaptor for getting into tight corners.

Elsewhere, the Daewoo ‘Cyclone Freedom’ Cordless Vacuum Cleaner Stick Handheld Rechargeable Bagless Silver Green is £79.99 from Debenhams. It deals with pet hair, dust and crumbs and is particularly handy for car interiors.
Or for shoppers with a bigger budget, the Dyson Cyclone V10 Absolute is currently £299.99, down from £379.99. Its charge means 60 minutes of hoovering time and it captures 99.99% of microscopic particles, plus detangles pet hair as it vacuums it up.
One customer said of the Akitas Cordless Vacuum Cleaner on Amazon: “We bought this more than a year ago and we can’t praise it enough. It is easy to assemble. The different tools are all you need. It cleans well. It’s easy to charge. It’s light. An excellent product and not expensive.”
Another said, “I am impressed with this vacuum cleaner as it holds its charge for cleaning a three-bedroom house, and the suction picks up the tiniest particles of dust. Having a “ busy” household with my older children living at home, pets, and a dark hardwood floor with carpeted stairs, I like to vacuum daily without it feeling like a chore. With this vacuum, I can clean the floors in 10 to 15 minutes.”
A third said: “I love this hoover – I really wanted a cordless hoover as I knew it would motivate me to do the cleaning a bit more, as having a corded hoover is such a faff when you’re trying to clean the whole house. This is a great design, so much easier to use, nice and light – I actually enjoy hoovering with it. It’s quick and easy to empty as well. Got rid of my old vacuum. The battery also lasts a long time – my house is only tiny so it may be different for someone with a large house, but I can easily get the whole house hoovered on one charge. Love it, totally recommend.”
However, one shopper said: “Great little hoover although the charge doesn’t last for long, great for stairs.” Another added: “Easy to use but you need it on the boost setting to clean reasonably well. Just a problem that there is no attachment to enable stairs etc. to be cleaned, but for the money a good buy.”
