Read these reviews on the best cordless vacuum cleaners in Malaysia!
Types Of Cordless Vacuum Cleaner
Cordless vacuum cleaners can branch further into the following types:
- Upright vacuum cleaners – Bigger and usually more powerful
- Stick vacuum cleaners – Handheld with a slim storage container at the other end (handle)
- Cylinder vacuum cleaners – Dust container on wheels connected to a long flexible hose
How To Buy The Best Cordless Vacuum Cleaner
A cordless vacuum cleaner needs to be comfortable to use!
It’s supposed to lighten your household chores after all! And not be a burden in the process!
But what else should you look for?
1. Price/Budget
The most reliable cordless vacuum cleaners (and the convenience they offer) come at higher prices that you would expect.
Either way, you’re looking to spend in the range of RM350 to RM4,000 for one of these!
Some are double the price of a regular vacuum cleaner!
2. Features To Look For
- Convertible to a handheld vacuum
- Long battery life (i.e. runtime)
- Short charging time
- Big dust capacity
- LED lights at the head so you can see what’s under your sofa/bed
- Lightweight
- Accessories for different situations (i.e. dust mite brush, narrow nozzle, etc)
- Flat head profile to reach under furniture
- Bagless/ with bag – most are now bagless
3. Suction Power
If your goal is to just eliminate dust bunnies and the occasional strands of hair, then you don’t really need a powerful machine!
Which tend to be louder, consume more power, and heat up faster!
For allergy sufferers, do pay extra attention to the next item!
4. Filtration System
Behind the same logic for air purifiers:
Vacuums should have a filtration system to prevent dust that they suck in from escaping out again through the vents! Otherwise, what’s the point?
The best filtration systems are high grade HEPA filters. Bonus if you can find one that’s removable and washable!

1. Corvan Cordless Vacuum
Vacuums at this affordable price range normally have a short warranty but not this one by Corvan! It has LED lights for the floor brush, which only a few of the cordless vacuums (in this list) do!
We find that the ergonomic handle and lightweight build makes it pleasant to use. And you don’t need to constantly hold the trigger down to vacuum!

Crossing clean over the RM3,500 mark, is this the best cordless vacuum cleaner in Malaysia? Maybe yes, if you’ve never tried a Dyson cordless vacuum cleaner before!
Pet owners in particular, fully appreciate the power of this machine! Because it picks up so much, you’ll probably have to empty the small bin a few times!

3. Dyson Cyclone V10 Absolute
Why did we bother including this? For starters, it’s lighter than the Dyson V11. And with considerable suction power (150AW) too! Still higher than the majority of cordless vacuum cleaners in Malaysia!
According to users, the build quality is great. But it just makes it into the bearable threshold of human hearing (<85dB). Battery lasts quite long unless you turn on the max mode!
Verdict:
A cheaper and lighter (by ~0.4kg) alternative to the Dyson V11 Absolute. By cheaper, we mean ~RM700 to RM1,000! Another selling point is the fluffy head for hardwood floors!
- Run Time: 60 minutes
- Charging Time: 3.5 hours
- Bin Size: 0.54 L
- Filtration System: Fully-sealed filtration system
- Weight: 2.5 kg
- Dimensions: 1241 x 241 x 248 mm

- Very short running time on max mode
- Dust bin takes some effort to clear
4. Airbot Hypersonics Cordless Vacuum Cleaner
The maximum run time of the Airbot Hypersonics surpasses the Airbot’s Supersonics at low-mid speed. And it can hold more dust before you have to empty out the bin!
Compared to other models like the Dreame V11 and Dibea F20max, it is cheaper (including accessories and spare parts) and more powerful. It doesn’t maneuver easily though.
Verdict:
A budget cordless vacuum cleaner with strong suction. Cleaning carpets is not its strong point but it works well enough on hard floors and pet fur. We recommend it for smaller homes (short runtime)
- Run Time: 15 – 50 minutes
- Charging Time: 4.5 hours
- Bin Size: 0.8 L
- Filtration System: HEPA Filter
- Weight: 2.4 kg

- Of the 3 Airbot models, this is the heaviest
5. Dibea F20 MAX Cordless Vacuum Cleaner
Boasting a short charging time, the Dibea F20 MAX Cordless Vacuum Cleaner is an improvement on the former D18 model. But noisier!
It has adequate suction power – users find it strong enough to suck out hair, dust, and fur from carpets! You just have to get used to the weight!
Verdict:
Much cheaper but comparable to the (and maybe even better than) Dyson V8! This cordless vacuum does not come with dust mite brush. But that can be purchased separately.
- Run Time: 20 – 55 minutes (Eco mode)
- Charging Time: 2 – 3 hours
- Bin Size: 0.5 L

You don’t have to keep your finger on the trigger constantly! And it’s surprisingly better on carpets than hard floors!

One unique feature of this cordless vacuum cleaner is the digital display (touchscreen). Which shows you how much battery you have left and how dirty your floor is!
Reviews on this vacuum note that it’s powerful but quiet! With a premium feel to its build! Eco mode is good enough for low pile carpets and hardwood floors alike!
Verdict:
Some say the TINECO Pure ONE S12 EX is a good match for the older Dyson models! However, it’ll take some time to get used to the attachments but they do increase the versatility of the vacuum!

Dreame V11 is more powerful (10AW) than its predecessor. Featuring the new motor (Dreame SPACE 4.0 High-speed Motor). With 50% improved run time (90 minutes) too on eco mode.
Users comment that the vacuum handles well. And the suction power is strong even when it is in eco mode!
Verdict:
Beautiful and functional, the Dreame V11 Cordless Vacuum Cleaner by Xiaomi is solidly built too! It’s just not very effective on carpets! And you can’t replace the battery if it expires!
- Run Time: Up to 90 minutes
- Charging Time: 4 hours
- Bin Size: 0.5 L
- Filtration System: 5 Stage in-depth filtration system

9. Bossman Kaden PRO K3
Bossman Kaden (by PerrySmith) has another similar model (Pro K2):
An obvious difference between them is the color (K3 is purple while K2 is red). But besides this, the K3 does pack more accessories. Including a roller brush with LEDs and a motorized dust mite brush head!
And users can’t get enough of that roller brush with built-in lights! However, the suction strength of this vacuum cannot match a regular vacuum (with cord). A major con is the lack of a proper HEPA filter!
Verdict:
Incredibly friendly on your budget, with LED lights, decent weight, and suction for daily cleaning. Pretty quiet too! Not for larger homes or spot cleaning for food spills!

Conclusion
After Dyson’s success, new cordless vacuum cleaners have appeared in the market. With similar features and performance! The current limitation is the weight and battery run time (max 60 minutes)!
They’re also certainly not cheap! But you don’t know what you are missing until you try one of the best cordless vacuum cleaners in Malaysia!
