FAQ
No, and in that way, stick vacuums are a more environmentally friendly alternative than a vacuum which requires vacuum bags. Today, most models of stick vacuums are fitted with a container that traps the dirt and dust through a filter.
It depends. A stick vacuum with strong suction will suffice for cleaning most areas of your home. Traditional vacuums usually have a better suction system and are therefore a better alternative for cleaning rugs, carpets and upholstery properly. If your stick vacuum is battery powered, it also depends on how long the battery lasts since it needs to last long enough to clean your entire home.
Roughly in the same way as a regular vacuum, but it is wireless, and normally, no vacuum bags are required. Instead, the stick vacuum uses a container where dirt and debris are filtered through, which can easily be emptied. Both the dust container and the battery power are attached to the handle, which means you don’t have to drag the vacuum behind you while cleaning.
It means that the model is a stick vacuum with a detachable handle, so the vacuum can be used as a stick vacuum or a handheld vacuum.
Upright Vacuum Cleaners: 3 things to consider before buying
When choosing an upright vacuum cleaner, it's crucial to consider how easy it is to move around your home. ″Lightweight models″ are ideal if you have multiple floors or need to carry the vacuum up and down stairs frequently. Additionally, look for features like a swivel head that allows for easier navigation around furniture. If possible, test the vacuum in-store to ensure it feels comfortable and manageable.
The effectiveness of an upright vacuum cleaner largely depends on its suction power. ″Higher wattage″ often translates to better performance, especially on carpets and rugs. However, it's also important to consider models with adjustable suction settings, which can be useful for different floor types or delicate surfaces.
Many upright vacuum cleaners come with ″extra features″ that can enhance their functionality and convenience. Consider models with HEPA filters if allergies are a concern, as these can trap dust and allergens effectively. Attachments like crevice tools, upholstery brushes, or pet hair tools can make cleaning specific areas much easier. Evaluate what additional features are most beneficial for your home environment to ensure you choose a vacuum that meets all your needs.
