You don't use the cordless to vacuum the whole house. You use it for
jobs that would be inconvenient or awkward with any mains powered
machine, such as the top of pictures, picture rail, top of doors, that
sort of thing.

Fairy nuff. I do have a small cordless for small things like that.

Use the right tool for the job.

Many here seem to think a cordless can replace a mains one. As do the many
ads on TV.
