It depends on the mode your in and surface. If your just using it for hardwood floors or tile About 20 min. If your using it on carpet and tile its about 15 min. I purchased mine reconditioned and have a lot of issues with the trigger. But it still works. I hear the new ones are much more reliable and better battery life. Its a great little Vacuum, but not sure if it cost is justified.

It can take 5-24 hours of initial charge time for these (depending on how big the battery is) and the manual for the unit I have says "for best performance, recharge at least every 3 months or after each use." The recharge time after that first one depends on how long it's been and how drained the battery is possibly talking another 24 hours.

If you don't fully charge the battery the first time, is can develop a memory and you will never get the "full use" of it. ALWAYS charge anything with a rechargeable battery at least 12-24 hours before use (cell phones, cordless phones, GPS, etc) it will just ensure you don't need a new battery for years.

No--you plug it in to recharge and it takes a few hours, which would probably use up batteries. But you get about 6 hours talk time once it's fully-charged. Although as it has gotten older, I'm finding I now get about 4 hours. Need to replace soon.

It usually takes somewhere between 6-8 hours. Like you said, it's 6000 mAh, so it does take a while... I will usually plug mine up at night, before I go to bed, and it will be charged when I get up the next morning.

It is rechargeable. It is charged by a 120 volt ac charger that comes with it. If not used the instructions say to recharge about 3-6 months to fully recharge it.

You can use it after recharging it for only a half an hour or less, but I would recommend fully charging it. The time it takes to charge depends on your power source.

Hello - I no longer use the device do to double billing - however when I used it - it would work betwen 18 -36 hours without charging it - I connnected it directly to the battery to keep it working without having to remove it and recharge it.

It depends on how low the battery level is. If you are charging it from 0 then it will take about 1.5-2 hours.

I bought mine a month ago, and have used it every week. If I use it for about a half hour, it will recharge in about 45 minutes, if I use it for a whole hour and drain more power out of the battery it takes closer to an hour to recharge. Saying I used it for half an hour may sound like I'm really hardly using it, but the weight on the outer end makes using it for anything over an hour very tiring. Initial chargeup for the battery is about an hour and a half and then you're ready to go. I really like mine so far!

I do think it depends on how much you have used it as a power source, mine can last for weeks before I need to charge it, If I use it as the charger for my phone it runs down quicker but still seems to stay charged for a very long time before it needs a charge

From what I noticed, it last a lot longer between charges. It seems like it will go for a good four+ hours before needing to recharge.

You can plug it in to recharge it, and I have used it while plugged in. I believe the instructions say not to do that, but it works.

If you mean how long does it take to recharge it, I honestly don't know. I just put it on the charger before I go to bed and it's always ready by morning.

It will last between 8 and 12 hrs depending on use. I usually recharge after each use which is about 3 to 4 hours. Hope this helps. Patricia M.

No, it charges the battery and it will last seven to ten days before charging again.
