  Collected 100 percent of large debris on hard floors in testing.
• Pet-Ready Features ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 5.0
  Sealed canister and HEPA filtration make it a strong choice for pet owners or allergy sufferers, especially when combined with its solid pickup on both carpets and hard floors, though the non-anti-tangle brush means long hair can still wrap.
• Under-Furniture Pickup ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 5.0
  The EasyReach bending wand and low-profile floorhead make it particularly good at reaching under beds, sofas, and other low furniture without much bending.
• Weight ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 5.0
  Exceptionally light at about 5.8 lb, which makes it easy to handle and carry.
• Bin & Bag ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 4.5
  Larger roughly 1.0 L dust bin for fewer trips to empty compared with many budget sticks.
• Filtration / Dust Containment ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 4.5
  Sealed canister tested well, making it a better choice for allergy or pet households at this price.

  LED headlights on the cleaning head improve visibility on hard floors and under furniture, making it easier to see what you are picking up in dimmer areas.

  EasyReach bending wand and nimble steering help it maneuver around furniture and tight spaces.
• Price & Value ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 4.5
  Typically priced around the mid-100-dollar range and often discounted, it offers excellent value for households that prioritize light weight and sealed filtration over swappable batteries.
• Stair Cleaning ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 4.5
  The very light body and nimble head make it particularly comfortable on stairs, where it feels less tiring and more precise than heavier rivals.
• Carpet — Medium-Pile Pickup ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 4.0
  Picked up about 95 percent in a carpet test; a bit less agitation than the B+D but still solid.
• Ongoing ownership costs (bags, filters, batteries) ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 4.0
  Replacement HEPA filters come in affordable multi-packs, making long-term filter costs lower than many similarly priced cordless sticks.
• Suction & Airflow ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 4.0
  Suction and airflow numbers are a bit lower than the Powerseries Extreme but still strong enough to deliver about 95 percent carpet pickup and complete pickup on hard floors in testing.
• Build quality & durability ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 3.5
  Lightweight construction and mid-range pricing mean it feels less rugged than premium vacuums, and like most sticks in this class it is best treated as a several-year appliance rather than a long-term, repairable machine.
