What is Shortest runtime?
In short
The shortest runtime is how long a vacuum keeps going on one charge, measured at its lowest setting.
Runtime is how long a vacuum or cordless tool runs on one charge. The shortest runtime figure is measured at the lowest power setting, so a real cleaning session usually lasts longer than the number suggests. CUCKOO Electronics America lists 38 minutes, Aspiron 60 minutes, Buture 60 minutes, AirCraft Home 120 minutes and Beko 130 minutes on a robot. Large homes and thick carpets push you toward the longer figures.
