Best Stick Vacuums

We found the LEVOIT LVAC-200 to be a handy cleaning companion. Its lightweight design made it easy to maneuver around furniture and up stairs. The anti-hair wrap feature was a standout, saving us time we’d normally spend untangling hair from the brush roll.

The battery life impressed us. We cleaned our entire downstairs on a single charge using Eco mode. The LED lights on the vacuum head were helpful for spotting dust in dimly lit areas. We appreciated the 2-in-1 crevice tool for reaching tight spots.

On hardwood and tile, the LVAC-200 performed well. It picked up dust and pet hair effectively. However, we noticed it struggled a bit on thicker carpets. The dust bin is on the smaller side, so we had to empty it more often during big cleaning jobs. While not a deal-breaker, it was noisier than expected on the highest setting.

We’ve been using the Shark Rocket Pet Vacuum for a few months now, and it’s become our go-to for quick cleanups. At under 10 pounds, it’s a breeze to carry up and down stairs. The swivel steering makes it easy to navigate around furniture and into tight corners.

The LED headlights are a game-changer. They light up dust and pet hair we would have missed otherwise. We love how it converts to a handheld vacuum for cleaning furniture and car interiors. The included pet tools work well for removing stubborn fur from upholstery.

While the suction is strong, the corded design means we have to switch outlets when cleaning larger areas. The dust cup fills up fast with all the pet hair it picks up. We find ourselves emptying it more often than we’d like. Still, for its price and performance, we think it’s a solid pick for homes with furry friends.

When we tested the Shark Rocket, we were impressed by how light and easy it was to maneuver. At just 7.6 pounds, we had no trouble carrying it up and down stairs or lifting it to clean cobwebs from corners. The swivel steering made it a breeze to navigate around furniture legs and other obstacles.

We found the suction power to be strong on both carpets and hard floors. The Dust-Away attachment did a nice job picking up fine debris from our hardwood and tile. On carpets, it pulled up pet hair and ground-in dirt effectively. The ability to switch between floor cleaning and handheld mode was really handy for tackling different areas.

One downside is the corded design, which meant we had to unplug and replug as we moved between rooms. The dust cup is also on the small side, so we had to empty it fairly often during big cleaning jobs. But for everyday upkeep, we think the Shark Rocket offers great performance in a compact package that’s easy to use and store.

The Q5 Pro impressed us with its cleaning power. Its 550W motor and 45KPa suction made quick work of dirt, dust, and pet hair on both hard floors and carpets. We found it especially effective on our area rugs, pulling out embedded debris we didn’t even know was there.

Battery life is a standout feature. We cleaned our entire 1500 sq ft home on a single charge, with power to spare. The wall-mounted charging dock is handy, keeping the vacuum stored neatly and always ready to go.

We appreciated the smart OLED display, which clearly shows battery life and suction mode. The touch controls are responsive and easy to use. While the Q5 Pro isn’t the lightest stick vac we’ve tested, its ergonomic design helps offset the weight during extended cleaning sessions.

The Eureka RapidClean Pro impressed us with its lightweight design. At just over 5 pounds, we found it easy to carry around the house and up stairs. The stick vacuum felt comfortable to use for extended cleaning sessions without causing arm fatigue.

We appreciated the 40-minute runtime, which was enough to clean our entire first floor on a single charge. The battery life indicator was helpful, letting us know when it was time to recharge. Switching between low and max power modes was simple with the fingertip controls.

The LED headlights were a standout feature. They lit up dark corners and spaces under furniture, helping us spot dust and debris we might have missed otherwise. We also liked how the vacuum could lie flat to reach under beds and sofas.

On hardwood and tile, the RapidClean Pro picked up dust, pet hair, and small debris effectively. It struggled a bit with larger pieces on carpet, but did well on low-pile rugs. The dust cup was easy to empty, though we had to do it frequently due to its small size.

While using the vacuum, we noticed it was quite loud. This might be an issue for those with sensitive ears or sleeping children. Despite this drawback, we found the Eureka RapidClean Pro to be a solid choice for quick cleanups and daily maintenance on hard floors and light carpeting.

We tested the Nioga 6-in-1 cordless vacuum and were impressed by its cleaning ability. The 400W brushless motor provides plenty of suction for everyday messes. It picked up dust, pet hair, and small debris easily on both hard floors and carpets.

The LED display is a nice touch. It clearly shows battery life and suction level. We found this helpful for knowing when to recharge or adjust settings. The vacuum ran for about 40 minutes on low power, close to the claimed 45 minutes.

We like the included accessories. The crevice tool and brush attachments help with hard-to-reach spots. The wall mount is handy for storage. While not the lightest option, it’s still easy to maneuver. The 150-degree swivel on the brush head lets us clean under furniture without much effort.

The filtration system seems effective. It uses a 5-stage cyclone system and HEPA filters to trap small particles. We noticed less dust in the air after vacuuming. The extra set of filters is a thoughtful addition.

For the price, this Nioga vacuum offers good performance and features. It’s a solid choice for those wanting a versatile cordless stick vacuum without breaking the bank. While it may not quite match top-tier brands, it gets the job done well for most homes.

The AceVac 11 impressed us with its cleaning power. Its 550W motor pulled up pet hair, dust, and debris from our carpets and hard floors with ease. We liked how the V-shaped brush roll stopped hair tangles, making it great for homes with pets.

The battery life stood out to us. We cleaned our whole house on a single charge, thanks to the 60-minute runtime. The smart touch display was handy for switching power modes and checking battery life. We found it simple to use and responsive.

We appreciated the big 1.6L dust cup. It meant fewer trips to the trash can during big cleaning jobs. The 8-stage filtration system caught fine dust well, leaving our air feeling cleaner. While it’s a bit loud, we felt the cleaning power made up for the noise.

We tested the SOWTECH Stick Vac on various surfaces in our home. Its 20Kpa suction impressed us, easily picking up dust, crumbs, and pet hair from hardwood and tile. The vacuum felt light and easy to maneuver at just 3.3 pounds.

We liked the 6-in-1 versatility. The floor brush worked well on hard surfaces, while the included attachments let us clean furniture and tight spots. The 23-foot cord gave us good reach without constantly unplugging.

The cyclone filtration system caught fine particles effectively. We found the dust bin easy to empty, though it filled up quickly during big cleaning jobs. The cleaning head felt a bit wobbly, but it didn’t impact performance much. For the price, we think this SOWTECH vac offers good value for basic cleaning needs.

At just 2.6 pounds, the Bissell Featherweight Stick is one of the lightest vacuums we’ve tested. We found it super easy to carry up and down stairs or from room to room. Its slim design lets us clean tight spaces and store it in small closets with no fuss.

We like how this vacuum transforms into three different tools. The stick mode works well for floors, while the handheld setup is great for furniture. We used the stair tool to clean our steps quickly. The included crevice attachment helped us reach corners and baseboards.

During our tests, the Featherweight picked up surface debris well on hard floors. It struggled a bit with deep carpet cleaning, but that’s expected for its size and price. The 15-foot cord gave us decent reach, though we had to switch outlets for larger rooms. We emptied the small dust bin often, but it was simple to do. For light cleaning tasks in apartments or as a backup cleaner, this Bissell offers good value.

We tested the Shark Pet Cordless Stick and found it to be a solid choice for cleaning both carpets and hard floors. The suction power impressed us, picking up pet hair and dirt with ease. We liked how it transformed into a handheld vacuum, making it easy to clean stairs and furniture.

The large dust cup was a nice feature, letting us clean longer without stopping to empty it. The LED lights on the front helped us spot dirt in dark corners. We found the vacuum easy to use, with simple controls and a lightweight design.

On the downside, the 40-minute runtime felt short for larger homes. It took 4 hours to recharge, which was frustrating when we needed to clean again quickly. The vacuum was also quite loud, which might bother some users. Despite these issues, we think the Shark Pet Cordless Stick offers good value for its price and cleaning power.
