When fully charged, the battery provides enough power to operate the vacuum for a certain amount of time, depending on the model and usage.

To use a cordless vacuum, you simply turn it on and use it to clean floors, carpets, and other surfaces as needed. The vacuum uses a motor to create suction, which pulls dirt and debris into a dustbin or bag.

One of the main advantages of cordless vacuums is their portability and convenience. Because they don't have a cord, they can be easily moved from room to room and used to clean areas that are hard to reach with a traditional corded vacuum.
