Product Information

While it doesn't have a surface-type adjustment feature, it's less expensive and requires less demanding maintenance. Thankfully, it does a good job of handling smaller debris, roughly the same size as grains of rice, as well as pet hair. Incredibly versatile, it can be used as a stick vacuum, a hand vac, or attach the hand vac directly to the floor nozzle to easily clean stairs. Perfect for whole home cleaning, the multi-surface floor nozzle can tackle both hard floors and deep carpets.

The Dyson V12 Detect Slim, the Ryobi 18V One+ HP Cordless Pet Stick Vac Kit with Dual-Roller Bar, and the Kenmore Elite CSV Max Cordless Stick Vacuum DS4095 (PDF) all have washable filters. It's an exceptional performer in terms of debris pickup and has a slightly more comfortable-to-use control scheme than the Dyson V15 Detect. The battery is one of the most common failure points on cordless stick vacuums, so Dyson’s swappable design means you won’t have to toss the whole vacuum if the battery goes bad. Those that convert to a hand vac or have hand vacuums on board can also clean upholstery, stairs and even the car.Though heavier than other vacuums we've tested, the Miele Triflex was easy to use with features like fingertip controls, battery indicator lights, a bright headlight on the wide floor nozzle and a lifetime HEPA filter that never needs washing or changing. We looked for batteries that charged within four hours or less, and we considered it a plus if a vacuum’s run time exceeded 30 minutes and its battery could also work in a variety of tools from the same company.

We also preferred models from which we could easily remove the brush roll for detangling and cleaning without special tools. Using deep analytical testing and writing expertise in appliances, cleaning, textiles and organizational products, she produces cleaning and home care advice for GH, has authored numerous books and bookazines for the brand and partners with the American Cleaning Institute to co-produce the Discover Cleaning Summits. The battery offered up just under 30 minutes of run time on the lowest power setting with the power nozzle attached, which is less than others in our test.One point in its favor is that it comes with two batteries that can be charged simultaneously, effectively doubling your potential runtime and making it a great option for longer cleaning sessions. Its cleaner head swivels 180 degrees, allowing it to reach into tight corners, around table legs, and between furniture better than other vacuums we’ve tested. We also found that debris often gets stuck in the dustbin’s upper segment, requiring you to reach in and pull it out. Its battery recharges in under two hours—faster than that of any other vacuum we tested in our latest round. Brush rolls also help collect debris on bare floors but can sometimes cause debris to scatter and should only be used if they're soft enough not to scratch your floors.
