Affordable cordless cleaning with a decent punch

The Beko PowerClean CyclonStorm VRT76325VW is a cordless stick vacuum that aims to give you the freedom of cable-free cleaning without the premium price tag. With up to 60 minutes’ run time and a 2-in-1 design that converts into a handheld, it’s clearly pitched at busy homes that want something light, simple and ready to grab.

Beko tends to sit in the value end of the market and this model follows that pattern, undercutting many big-name cordless rivals while still promising strong suction and a modern feature set, including an LED screen and multi-cyclonic filtration.

Owners rate it around 4.2 out of 5 from a solid number of reviews, suggesting that while it’s not flawless, most people are pleasantly surprised by how much performance they get for the money.

Who this cordless vacuum is best for

This Beko cordless vacuum is well suited to small and medium-sized homes that want a main cleaner without spending hundreds of pounds. The 60-minute maximum run time is generous for the price, making it ideal if you like to do the whole house in one go rather than in short bursts.

It’s a strong fit for mixed-floor households. The brush and suction setup is designed for carpets, hard floors, tiles and vinyl, so it will cope with typical UK layouts where you move from hallway laminate to bedroom carpet and tiled kitchens.

If you’re moving from a heavy corded cleaner or buying your first cordless stick, the simple controls, clear LED screen and relatively compact body will appeal. The handheld option makes it practical for stairs, car interiors and quick spills, so it’s also handy for families who are constantly chasing crumbs and pet fluff.

On the other hand, if you live in a very large house, or you expect premium extras like app control and auto-empty docks, this is more of a budget-conscious workhorse than a flagship gadget.

What we like

The standout advantage here is the run time. Up to 60 minutes on a single charge is impressive in this price bracket and means you can usually get round the whole home without worrying about the battery conking out halfway.

The CyclonStorm multi-cyclonic system separates dust and air for more consistent suction, so you’re less likely to experience that noticeable drop in power as the bin fills. Coupled with a respectable 100 AW of suction, it should handle everyday debris and pet hair well on both carpets and hard floors.

Three power levels give you proper control: lower settings for light daily dusting and a higher boost for ground-in dirt. The LED screen that shows battery life and filter status is a nice touch usually reserved for pricier models, helping you avoid nasty surprises mid-clean.

Practical touches round out the package: it’s bagless with a 0.5-litre bin, the filter is removable and washable, and you get useful tools including a crevice tool and motorised brush. The fact it can be wall mounted keeps it tidy and always ready to grab.

Where it could be better

The 0.5-litre dust capacity is on the small side, especially if you’ve got pets or a lot of carpet. You may find yourself emptying it more often than you’d like during a deep clean.

Charging takes around 5 hours for a full battery, which feels quite slow compared with some newer cordless models. If you forget to plug it in after a clean, you might be waiting a while before you can use it again at full power.

Noise is rated at 80 dB, which is fairly typical for a cordless but not especially quiet. If you’re sensitive to sound or often clean late at night, this is worth bearing in mind.

Finally, the HEPA 12 filtration is decent but not top tier. Allergy sufferers may prefer a model with a higher-grade HEPA filter, and there’s no mention of advanced anti-hair-wrap tech or soft rollers for delicate floors, which some mid-range rivals now include.

Everyday use

Living with the Beko PowerClean CyclonStorm is largely about convenience. Being cordless and battery powered, it’s easy to grab for quick jobs without dragging a cable and hunting for sockets. The stick design makes it nimble around furniture, and transforming it into a handheld for stairs or the car is straightforward.

The LED screen plays a bigger role than you might expect day to day. Being able to see how much battery you have left at a glance helps you decide whether to run it on a higher power level or save that boost mode for stubborn patches.

Maintenance is simple. The bagless bin is quick to empty, and the washable, removable filter means ongoing running costs are low. The motor protection filter and multi-cyclonic design should also help keep performance more consistent between cleans.

Noise is noticeable but not excessive for a cordless. You’ll be aware it’s on, particularly in smaller rooms, but it shouldn’t be unbearable. The included tools and motorised brush give you the flexibility to tackle skirting boards, upholstery and pet beds without swapping to another appliance.

Performance and features

In terms of raw performance, the Beko delivers up to 100 Air Watts of suction, which is strong for a budget-friendly cordless. Combined with the CyclonStorm multi-cyclonic system, it’s well placed to deal with everyday dust, crumbs and pet hair across carpets and smooth floors.

The three power settings mean you’re not locked into a one-size-fits-all mode. Light cleaning can be done on the lower setting to maximise that 60-minute run time, while higher power comes into its own for high-traffic areas, rugs and more stubborn dirt. This flexibility is particularly useful in mixed-floor homes.

Filtration is handled by a HEPA 12 system with removable, washable filters and a motor protection filter. This will capture fine dust and some allergens, keeping exhaust air cleaner than basic cyclone-only models. It’s not the absolute highest HEPA grade, but it’s a reassuring step up from simple mesh filters.

On the usability side, the LED screen is a standout feature at this price. Showing both battery life and filter status, it stops you guessing when a filter clean is due and helps you avoid squeezing in “one last room” only for the battery to die. LED headlights on the floor head are another thoughtful bonus, lighting up dust under sofas and beds so you can see what you’re actually picking up.

Accessories are sensible rather than flashy. You get a motorised brush for more effective carpet cleaning, a dusting brush and crevice tool for edges and awkward spots, plus a wall mount and charger. The removable battery is a welcome touch for long-term ownership, as it gives you the option to replace it down the line rather than scrapping the whole vacuum.

Value for money

At around £76, this Beko sits firmly in the budget end of the cordless vacuum market, where many big-brand rivals often cost several times as much. For that outlay you’re getting up to 60 minutes’ run time, 100 AW suction, multi-cyclonic filtration, a removable battery and an LED display – a feature mix that would have been firmly mid-range not long ago.

The AO user rating of 4.2 out of 5 from 25 reviews backs up the idea that you’re getting strong value. Most owners seem satisfied or impressed given the price, with any compromises (bin size, charge time, noise) being understandable trade-offs rather than deal-breakers at this level.

If you want top-tier filtration, ultra-quiet operation or advanced anti-hair-wrap heads, you’ll need to spend more. But as a cost-effective way to ditch the cord and still get respectable cleaning performance, it offers very good bang for your buck.

Our verdict

The Beko PowerClean CyclonStorm VRT76325VW is a well-judged cordless vacuum for households that want the freedom of cable-free cleaning without the premium price tag. Strong suction, up to an hour of run time, and a clear LED screen make it feel more expensive than it is, while the 2-in-1 design and included tools cover most everyday jobs.

It’s not perfect: the bin is modest, charging is slow and noise levels are fairly typical rather than whisper-quiet. Allergy sufferers and those with very large homes may also find its specification a bit basic for their needs.

For small to medium homes, first-time cordless buyers and anyone upgrading from a clunky corded model on a budget, though, it’s an easy product to recommend. You’re getting a capable, convenient cleaner that should handle daily messes with ease, at a price that’s hard to argue with.
