Do any of the cordless vacuum cleaner brands come with interchangeable batteries? As in, as you're cleaning with one battery in the vacuum, the other can be charging or pre charged so if it runs out you can just carry on going instead of waiting hours to finish.

Dyson and Bosch websites are painful and uninformative

Sorry mate, I'm stuck here in the 21st century, until my time machine starts working to take me back to the 70s I'll have to make do with an equal share of housework and women who don't look like they're getting a naked piggyback off Davy Crockett

You need a hex key to get the battery off a Dyson cordless, so while they are fixable if the battery dies, they're definitely not built to be interchangeable.

Also I'm not sure how your strident views on gender equality with regard to household chores fit with an insistence on shaved fannies...

Stop being tight and big nosed and buy a Dyson.

neebody vacuums all their house in one day surely? Our Dyson will do most of it on 1 charge but we get into a routine of what to hoover when--suppose that is easier now than when 3 kids were at home

Makita 18v. Same batteries and charger as we use on site.
Spare batteries available in tool shops and eBay. You’ll also be able to use batteries on makita drills, planes, jigsaw, circular saw, multi tool, radio, coffee maker etc. Tell me what the coffee makers like as no one at work wants to be the first to buy one. I think they even do a hover lawn mower?
Jekyll and Hyde batteries are available on eBay already for approx half the price of genuine ones. Jekylls used to only appear once manufacturers changed their battery shape but now cordless tools are such a big concern the pirates are on the case within weeks of a battery shape change. Dewalt jekylls appeared on eBay a month after I sold off my cordless dewalt stuff cheap on eBay as my batteries were all dead and replacements were going for £120 plus at the time.

I don't make the rules
 
I've got a Vax air cordless and it came with two batteries so you can just switch over if it runs out while using it. The middle section lifts out which makes cleaning stairs etc. easy as well.

Dinnar. Just bought a 99 pund hoover cordless for our lass to clean the crumbs up from under the dining chabble after the kids. She loves it. I can't see any being good enough to replace our corded Dyson for a proper deep clean though, especially with the debris our 2 little sods generate. However this seems to be good enough to keep on top of things till the big fella comes out...
 
I don't get the love in with Dyson mind. Had 2 now, 1st model, and one from about 3 years back. 1st was average at best. 2nd, that would have retailed at nigh on 500 notes (I got cheap), was f***ing abysmal. My 80 quid Electrolux was far better. C unt also used to fall over, if you pulled it in anything other than a perfect straight line. :evil:
