5 Best Lightweight Vacuum Cleaners Good lightweight vacuum cleaners are surprisingly hard to find. There are plenty around, but many are light because they're rubbish, not by design. We've picked out the best we've tested to save you being duped.How light is 'lightweight'?This is an important but tricky question to answer. Everyone's view will differ slightly, but we've defined lightweight to be any vacuum cleaner that tips the scales below or around 5kg. While some weigh closer to 2kg or so, we chose 5kg because it's half as much as the heaviest we've tested.Many top-end uprights and larger cylinder vacuums weigh in the region of 8kg, while one we tested tipped the scales at a faintly ridiculous 9.7kg. Of course, weight doesn't always mean a cleaner that's easy to use or move around, but 5kg or less is light enough for most people to carry.Watch: First look at Dyson's new robot vacuum cleaner, the 360 EyeCorded or cordless?There's a mixture of corded and cordless in our lightweight vacuum cleaner list, but which should you choose?

The cordless models are by far the lightest, so if being as light as possible is all you really care about then a cordless vac is what you need.But there are couple of things to consider first. All the cordless models are bagless, which means you might prefer a corded model if you suffer from allergies. Moreover, while the best cordless vacuums clean very well, most aren't as powerful as a corded model.All our full reviews feature visual comparisons, though, so you can see the difference and decide for yourself.Lightweight Vacuum Cleaners – Recommended | Corded – An effective and cheap vacuum cleaner that's easy to carry.

However the product worked just fine - given to an old relative who found the regular sized vacuum to heavy to use. the long handle kept disconnecting from the the bottom of the vacuum cleaner. bit late to change as i had taken the product abroad. This is a useless machine.Waste of money you can do a better job just using a cloth. Unless you want the power of a cheap cordless with the inconvenience of a non retractable cable dont waste your money Had this a few years now and wish i never bought it. Bought this for my Mum. She said it is absolutely easy and so light to use she is really pleased with it. Bought to replace another cheap vacuum cleaner from Hoover.It has no fine filter, so fine dust like dust from a DIY job (brick hole) would go out the other end. This was purchased for a 92 year old and she loves it. light to use it around house!
