Stick vacuum cleaners

The stick vacuum cleaner has become the go-to for quick cleaning, since it comes off its dock and works without plugging in. What really separates models is battery life at the power level you actually use, the weight felt in the arm and whether the battery can be replaced once it weakens. The advertised maximum run time matters less than it seems: it is often measured on the lowest setting.

Suction power
Measures the appliance’s maximum electrical power: the longer the bar, the more effective the suction should be on demanding floors.
Price
This criterion positions the stick vacuum’s price against other models on the market: the longer the bar, the better the deal.
Battery life
This criterion measures how long the device runs on a full charge: the longer the bar, the longer it cleans without recharging.
Quietness
Noise level in operation, in decibels. The longer the bar, the less you notice the appliance.
Suction power
This criterion measures the suction strength of the device: the longer the bar, the more effectively it picks up dust and debris.
Dust bin capacity
This criterion measures the volume of the dust bin: the longer the bar, the less often it needs emptying.
Charging time
This criterion measures how long it takes to fully recharge the battery: the longer the bar, the sooner the device is ready to use again.

Price brackets by tier

Orders of magnitude, not displayed prices: a price only appears on Kalyneo once it has been collected from a merchant, with its collection date.

Under €100

A light model with a fixed battery, fine on hard floors or a small flat, though suction drops fast on carpet.

€100 to €250

A removable battery, steadier power and carpet attachments, with enough runtime for an average home.

Over €250

Strong suction held across every speed setting, finer filtration and a swappable battery to cover a whole house.
