Expert Answers to Your Stick Vacuum Cleaner Questions

Our experts have answered your most frequently asked questions about stick vacuums to help you determine if they’re the right cleaning solution for you.

What are stick vacuums good for?

Stick vacuums are incredibly convenient. They’re lightweight, cordless, and don’t require heavy canisters or power plugs. This makes them perfect for daily cleaning, quick spills, and picking up dropped crumbs, no matter where the mess is.

Are stick vacuums worth it?

Stick vacuums are definitely a worthy investment, whether you use them as your main vacuum or as a quick option for daily cleaning. They offer convenience, can be used on floors, furniture, and more, and come in various models to fit every budget.

Are stick vacuums better than barrel vacuums?

Stick and barrel vacuums each have their strengths, so one isn’t necessarily better than the other. Stick vacuums are designed for convenience — they’re lightweight, cordless, and versatile. Barrel vacuums, on the other hand, are corded and focus on power, suction, and handling tougher jobs with a large dust bin capacity.

Stick vacuums are ideal for quick spills and daily cleaning, while barrel vacuums may be better suited for deep cleans or larger homes.

Can you use a stick vacuum on carpet?

Stick vacuums are a great option for carpets, even those with longer, shaggier fibres. They generally provide sufficient power for regular cleaning jobs, especially premium models.

For deeper carpet cleaning, you might consider using a bagged vacuum or carpet shampooer occasionally.

How long does the battery last on stick vacuums?

Battery life varies by model and cleaning task. Basic stick vacuums typically offer around 25 minutes of runtime, while premium models with multiple batteries can provide up to 120 minutes of cleaning time!

Many stick vacuums come with docking stations that charge the vacuum while neatly storing it, ensuring it’s always ready for use.

Can you clean your car with a stick vacuum?

Stick vacuums are highly versatile. With a few attachments, they can clean almost anywhere — including your car.

Simply remove the larger vacuum neck to convert your stick vacuum into a handheld vacuum. Combine it with the included upholstery tools, crevice brushes, and more to easily clean between car seats.
