A vacuum cleaner is a necessity in any home, especially if you have children and/or pets. Stick vacuum cleaners are often also cordless vacuum cleaners, and are light yet effective. They may be considered the best vacuum cleaner for several reasons:
- Portable and manoeuvrable: Stick vacuum cleaners have a slim and compact design to effortlessly move around furniture and reach tight spaces while being light enough for single-hand use.
- Convenience: Most stick vacuums are cordless, eliminating the need to find power outlets or deal with tangled cords. This makes it easier to move from room to room without any restrictions.
- Versatility: Stick vacuums usually come with adjustable suction settings and attachments to handle a range of surfaces. You can use them to clean floors, carpets, furniture and even car interiors.
- Compact: If you have limited storage space, a stick vacuum’s slim profile makes it easy to store in closets, utility rooms or even mounted on a wall.
Choosing the best cordless vacuum cleaner
While most stick vacuum cleaners may look very similar, their ability to do a good job of cleaning up can vary greatly. Here are the factors that you should look at when you are deciding on which model to buy:
- Suction power: Strong suction ensures efficient cleaning on various surfaces, including carpets, hardwood floors and tiles.
- Battery life and charging time: Longer battery life allows for extended cleaning sessions, while a shorter charging time ensures minimal downtime between uses.
- Dust cup capacity: Larger cup capacity means less frequent emptying for longer cleaning sessions.
- Filtration: Filtration systems, for example, HEPA filters trap fine dust particles and allergens.
- Weight: Choose a model that is light and comfortable to hold for extended periods without causing strain.
- Cleaning modes and attachments: Adjustable suction settings adapt to different surfaces, while attachments like crevice tools, brush heads, and upholstery tools increase the vacuum’s effectiveness on various surfaces.
- Maintenance and storage: Look for models with easy-to-clean components such as washable filters and detachable brush rolls. Some models come with wall mounts or docking stations for convenient storage and charging.
