What are the advantages of stick vacuums?

Stick vacuums are light and compact compared to traditional vacuum cleaners. This makes them easy to maneuver through and around furniture, but also lets you clean surfaces from the floor to the ceiling with ease. At the same time, stick vacuums are more flexible than traditional hand vacuums and can be used to clean floors.

Are cordless stick vacuums better than cordless hand vacuums?

While both types are lightweight and easy to move, stick vacuums can be much more versatile, with a wide range of potential attachments that make them great for easily cleaning floors, upholstery, and other surfaces, plus getting into hard-to-reach spots. Many cordless stick vacuums are basically convertible handheld vacuums.

How long do stick vacuums last?

Cordless stick vacuums will work until their battery wears out, which is typically between 3 and 5 years depending on how often you use it. Corded stick vacuums last as long as the motor operates, which you can extend by keeping the dust container emptied and clean.

What surfaces are best for stick vacuums?

Hard surfaces like tile, laminate, and wood floors are generally best for stick vacuums, but some models and attachments let you switch to cleaning carpets and rugs. Canister and upright vacuum cleaners are other great options for cleaning a wide range of surfaces.
