A Cordless Vacuum Makes RV Cleanup a Breeze
No matter what kind of RV you have, having a cordless vacuum on board makes it a cinch to keep dirt, dust, and pet hair under control.
So much so, that at least a few RV manufacturers are now tucking a cordless vacuum cleaner into the walk-in closet of the primary bedroom.
However, since most RVs don’t presently come with a cordless vacuum, you’ll probably want to add one to your arsenal of cleaning supplies.
Because an cordless vacuum is a total game changer when it comes to keeping the RV clean, especially for pet owners.
However, there are an awful lot of cordless vacuums on the market these days.
It can be hard to discern which vacuums are going to work for you and which ones aren’t up to the task.
After all, nothing “sucks” worse than a vacuum cleaner that doesn’t suck. With that in mind, I researched to find the best cordless vacuums specifically for RV use.
In this article I’ll share what to look for in a cordless vacuum for RV use as well as my Top 3 picks for cordless vacuums for RV use.
How to Choose the Right Cordless Vacuum for RVs
Here are six things you’ll want to consider when choosing the best cordless vacuum cleaner for your RV.
- Budget: The cost of a cordless vacuum cleaners ranges between $50 and $1,000. Generally speaking, you get what you pay for. That said, if you want more battery life and suction power, you’ll find it in the mid-price range. And if you want more bells and whistles, opt for a higher-priced model.
- Battery Life: Look for a vacuum with enough battery power to handle your entire RV.
- Suction Power: Pet owners will be happiest with a vacuum cleaner with lots of suction power.
- Weight and Size: A heavy, bulky vacuum cleaner can make vacuuming feel like the chore that it is. Aside from that, a small footprint is especially important in the limited confines of an RV. In addition, weight can be a big consideration for weight conscious RVs.
- Attachments and accessories: The best cordless vacuums offer a variety of accessories and attachments that allow you to clean floors and upholstery as well as allowing you to vacuum nooks an crannies with ease.
- Dustbin Size: While a larger dustbin means less frequent emptying, it also adds to the overall size and weight of the vacuum. In an RV, you might not need a larger dustbin (unless you have pets). Most of the time, a smaller (but not tiny) easy-to-empty dustbin is a practical trade-off.
- Storage: Look for a cordless vacuum that comes with it’s own wall mounting system so you can easily tuck it out of the way when it’s not in use.
