The Best Stick Vacuum Easy To Use Guide

The Best Stick Vacuum

The newcomer from Xiaomi not only managed to convince us with good overall suction performance. During our tests, we were indeed able to appreciate a beautiful overall design, very pleasant to use, from the screen indicating the mode chosen and the battery level to the various and practical accessories. Note the presence of a water tank with mop, which will appeal to the most manic even if it does not exempt from a real cleaning with water. Its noise level is also very significant compared to the Dyson and Rowenta models tested.

Xiaomi G10, the best value for money in the models we have tested.

We have inspected each piece meticulously to assess design quality and practicality.

We paid attention to the ergonomics of the engine block and comfort.

We then evaluated the performance.

It was then the opportunity to measure the noise emitted by the device.

Besides the main brush, we also took the time to test the supplied accessories.

Finally, we checked the criterion of autonomy.

This stick vacuum cleaner is distinguished by a series of advantages such as ease of maintenance, a removable battery and an efficient HEPA filter. According to the opinions collected, its operation is particularly quiet (64 dB at minimum power and 69 dB in Boost mode) and the whole is intended to be handy and easy to use. Very effective on hard floors, you can select two suction levels according to your needs. All these data combined give it a very interesting quality / low price ratio.

Living up to the reputation of the Dyson brand, the V11 Absolute is a cordless vacuum that is both practical and efficient. It is effective on both hard floors and carpets and automatically adapts the suction power to the floor covering detected. Its autonomy can go up to 60 minutes, double what we usually find on stick vacuum cleaners. The LCD screen makes it easy to use by showing the remaining battery life and the activated power level.

This model is the newer and improved version of the Air Force 360 ​​that we had the opportunity to test. It is distinguished by good ergonomics: in addition to its main head equipped with a row of LEDs, it easily converts into a hand-held vacuum cleaner and its handle folds up to easily pass under furniture. Efficient on all types of soil, it is equipped with a patented cyclonic technology with two power levels. The 0.65 L tank can be completely removed for emptying. On the other hand, the autonomy of 35 minutes is a little weak compared to the average and the noise level disturbs some users.

Dyson V8 Animal+ (see the test) (499 € at the time of publication): An interesting old model. Even if the more recent models display better characteristics (especially in terms of autonomy), the V8 does not demerit and allows access at a lower cost to the formidable quality of Dyson suction. Our tests have in any case convinced us, with the exception of the absence of locking the trigger, which strongly penalizes its ergonomics and pushed us to exclude it from our main selection.

Dyson V15 Detect Absolute (€ 699 at the time of publication): The hyper technological novelty. The latest addition to the brand is equipped with both a laser dust detector and microparticle sensors that it counts and measures in real time. It also automatically adapts its power to the level of dust detected. There is also something new on the accessories side, with a mini brush of conical shape that is intended to be self-detangling. If we have not yet been able to test it, the opinions consulted online are already very enthusiastic. Only the price puts us off a little.

How did we test?

When unpacking each device, we made sure to inspect each part meticulously, in order to assess its design quality and practicality, especially during assembly.

We paid particular attention to theergonomics the engine block, taking into account its weight, but also the comfort from grip to use, at the level of the handle and the suction activation trigger.

The system emptying the tank was also examined, since it is a task to be repeated frequently.

If there maneuverability vacuum cleaner is obviously an important criterion, our various suction tests have above all enabled us to assess the performances on several types of surfaces, namely hard floors, carpets, short pile and high pile rugs.

To do this, we took turns scattering salt, rice and animal hair.

If several modes were offered, each was the subject of its own test. It was also an opportunity to measure the noise emitted by the device according to the power chosen.

Besides the main brush, we also took the time to test the accessories supplied, including the storage station, the strength and design of which are not to be neglected.

Finally, the criterion ofautonomy could be checked at the same time, as well as the ease or not to assess the remaining battery level, the proposed charging mode and the time required for a full charge.

How to choose your stick vacuum cleaner?

Increasingly popular, the stick vacuum cleaner has almost supplanted all other vacuum cleaner models on the market. Practical for those who are forced to regularly vacuum their main living space, this device, at the same time compact, wireless and efficient, has serious advantages.

A brief overview of the criteria to pay attention to when making your purchase:

• Ergonomics : its format, more compact and lighter one canister vacuum, is the first reason for favoring the stick vacuum cleaner. Some models are even able to stand upright without support. It is also more manoeuvrable, freeing you from both the heavy sled to pull behind you and the wire that limits the range of action. Before purchasing, always test the grip of the device to see if the grip and trigger are comfortable enough for you. Weight is also an important criterion.
• The power : in terms of figures, it is difficult to really assess what a vacuum cleaner is worth without testing it, power being the combination of several factors. From a practical point of view, it is interesting to choose one equipped with several power levels, to adapt to all floor coverings.
• Autonomy : at present, this varies from 30 to 60 minutes at normal power. At maximum power, this data is greatly reduced, sometimes to less than 10 minutes. The larger your interior, the longer the battery will have to last. Also take a look at the full recharge time, varying from 2 to 5 hours.
• The reservoir : it is generally smaller than on a canister vacuum cleaner, with a capacity often less than 1 L. This therefore forces you to empty it more often, but the maneuver is generally facilitated by a contactless emptying system.
• The noise : it is not the least noisy vacuum cleaner model, because it is difficult for manufacturers to soundproof a device of this size without impacting its weight. The average is around 80 dB, but can necessarily rise even higher at maximum power.
• The accessories : the variety of these makes it possible to multiply its use in all corners of the house. We appreciate for example the presence of a long nozzle, for the corners and the baseboards and of a brush dedicated to the suction of fabrics (in particular for the owners of animals). Most stick vacuum cleaners can also turn into hand vacuum cleaner. The storage station is also an interesting accessory for saving space, especially if it allows simultaneous recharging.
