Bush Stick to Handheld Bagless Vacuum Cleaner

Product Information

With a cordless unit, this starts with a battery rundown test, to see how long the battery lasts at each of its power settings on short-pile carpet with the floor head attached. It’s incredibly powerful – so much so that Dyson ceased development of new corded cleaners because of this vacuum – and we agree that the V10 is easily good enough to replace your old upright if you’re hoping to upgrade. The vacuum glides around your floor like a hovercraft, with a unique joint between the handle and the floor head that lets you spin and rotate the vacuum into the tightest places. It can’t quite match the most powerful cordless vacuums on the market for cleaning power but it did well in our tests, and it also comes with anti-hair wrap tech so you don’t need to get your hands dirty removing tangles. In this way we can see exactly how good the device is at collecting these tricky materials from both types of surface.

The AEG QX9 is an unusual cordless stick vacuum: instead of a stick with the motor at the handle and a motor head attached to the bottom, it’s made up of an alloy frame with a space in the middle where the vacuum resides. Accessories: Keep an eye out for detachable hoses or pivoting nozzles for awkward spaces; crevice tools for sofa cushions and tight spots; and powered vacuum heads for stubborn carpets. Nobody loves cleaning, but cordless vacuum cleaners make the whole ordeal a little bit more bearable. com Limited is an Introducer Appointed Representative of CarMoney Limited who are authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority, FRN 674094. while the heaviest can weigh more than 2kg – that may not sound like a big difference, but you will notice the extra weight when you’re holding a handheld vacuum at arm’s length.The models on this list range in longevity from under ten minutes up to one hour, which is a pretty good cross-section of cordless vacuums more generally. It has many of the benefits of a cordless stick but it’s heavier duty and configured for more serious work. With a tiny bin and low suction power, the specification doesn’t look that great, but by introducing an incredible new type of motorised floor head, Dyson has created a cordless vacuum cleaner that’s perfect for small flats with hard floor throughout. Even if a model has a small bin, however, it’s not a deal-breaker as long as the bin is quick and easy to empty. When it’s upright you can let it go and hey-presto, it waits there, ready to resume cleaning when you want to restart.

As with most sticks, the Henry Quick can be operated as a handheld, or connected to its floor head with an extension wand. With a vacuum this small, you can’t expect the kind of power we find on larger models, but it still performed surprisingly well in our cleaning benchmarks, collecting 85% of the tricky spillages we tested it with.The main difference between the Henry Quick and most of its rivals is that it uses a bag to collect the dirt. New to this model is the dual roller floor head which features both a regular brush roller and a soft roller for tackling hard floors. This means you don’t have to switch floor heads when you move from carpet to hard floor, which saves both time and hassle. For lifting pet hair from furniture and upholstery, it comes with a motorised mini accessory, which is also handy for smaller areas such as stairs and mats. Considering how powerful it is, the Dyson V10 Cyclone has an excellent battery life of up to 60 minutes in the default mode and 30 minutes on the more powerful “Max Boost” setting.

When it’s full, it can be ejected from the vacuum straight into the bin, avoiding the dusty cloud often created by bagless vacuums. In our tests, we saw this help the vacuum perform as thorough a job on our controlled spills of cereal and flour as we’ve seen from any cordless vacuum, including more expensive models. Anyone looking for something with a bit more power than a cordless stick should seriously consider the Shark ICZ300UKT.The models on this list range from tiny handhelds with 250ml capacities to larger uprights with up to 1. All the vacuuming power is kept in the floor head, including the collection system, which uses small 0. On the flip side, however, keep in mind that even a seemingly miserable eight-minute battery life will be enough to deal with a car interior or unexpected kitchen spillage.

To test each vacuum’s cleaning ability, we weigh out measured quantities of flour and Cheerios, and spill each one onto both carpet and hard floor. We also use each vacuum intensively in a range of regular household chores to test in real world conditions. They’re wonderfully convenient and are able to handle most dirt spillages without you ever having to drag the cumbersome Henry out from under the stairs. One of the best is its DuoClean floor head, which incorporates both a fluffy roller and a brush bar in a single unit.For our hair and fibre tests we comb real cat and dog hair into wilton carpet and then time how long it takes for each vacuum cleaner to suck it all up, the best can do it in less than 30 seconds, the worst take more than three minutes.
