Lightweight vacuum

I didn't remove the battery unit! It happened when I was not even here!

I have bought the reduced Shark as recommended. Thanks for help with this.

Doodledog The rechargeable stick vacuums all charge different ways. It was a feature I very specifically did not want when I bought mine. I wanted a removeable battery.

My stick cleaner lives in the broom cupboard, where there is no point nearby for charging and I did not want to have to move the whole apparatus somewhere else to charge it. When I have finished using it, the battery goes in the utility room where we have a whole bank of points for recharging batteries and I always know where it is.

My cleaner is a Beldray, one of the cheapest, one feature it has is that you can take the whole motor/dust collector off the top of the stalk when not using it and park it on a hook further down the stalk, so that the whole device is not top heavy when not in use. The weight is all at the base, so you can just stand it upright in the broom cupboard with out needing to anchor it to anything to stop it falling over.

Yes I know, but the Air Ram doesn't operate like that, which is why I was asking. You can remove the battery (eg to change it if you keep a spare one) but it also charges with the battery in situ. The OP said that she didn't like the vacuum because the battery unit is hard to remove, and I was pointing out that it is not necessary to remove it.

Anyway, the issue is now solved, as Luckygirl has a new one.

But why do you need to remove th battery? I just plug the charger into mine, and the battery lives inside the unit.

Does your look like the one in the photo, or are we talking about different models?

Been wondering about this. I just plug mine in every few weeks, and it just goes, glides, effortlessly, with one hand. Not good if you want to use tools, however.

And can carry it upstairs effortlessly with one hand!
