Stick vacuum cleaner: 5 advantages it will bring you when cleaning

Is vacuuming one of your least favourite household chores? Maybe it's the heavy and clumsy vacuum cleaner whose cord keeps getting tangled under your feet. A revolution in cleaning can be brought to you by a practical stick vacuum cleaner, the advantages of which we will present in this article.

A stick vacuum cleaner is a great household helper, which differs from other types of vacuum cleaners in many features. If you're thinking about buying one, or if you're just tired of dragging a heavier wheeled vacuum cleaner around the apartment, we'll help you decide. We will compare its advantages compared to other types of vacuum cleaners and evaluate who it is suitable for.

What types of vacuum cleaners do we know?

The current market offers a wide selection of household vacuuming and cleaning appliances. Individual types differ in design, functions and method of use. The most common vacuum cleaners include:

• Floor vacuum cleaners – classic, relatively powerful vacuum cleaners that can be pocket or bagless. In the first case, they suck dirt into a replaceable bag, in the second into a container that can be easily emptied. Cyclone vacuum cleaners are a specific type that use cyclonic airflow technology to separate dust and dirt.
• Stick vacuum cleaners – easily portable and compact vacuum cleaners that are ideal for quickly cleaning smaller spaces. More advanced models are wireless, which increases their practicality even more. Their performance is often lower compared to floor vacuum cleaners.
• Hand-held vacuum cleaners – very small and portable vacuum cleaners with relatively low power, which are not intended for floors or large areas. They are suitable for cleaning small dirt, for example from a car, sofa or hard-to-reach places.
• Robotic vacuum cleaners – modern automated devices that can vacuum without manual operation. They have different modes and special sensors for detecting obstacles, some can even wash the floor. It is possible to control them from a mobile application.
• Industrial vacuum cleaners - they are intended for cleaning larger and more demanding surfaces, for example in warehouses and other work areas. They can vacuum even difficult dirt. Therefore, they have greater power and dimensions.
• Vacuum cleaners - they are basically devices for wet vacuuming and deep cleaning of textiles, for example carpets and upholstery (couches, armchairs, beds...). They combine vacuuming and wet cleaning.

What are stick vacuum cleaners

A stick vacuum cleaner is a type of vacuum cleaner with a vertical structure. There is no large collection container, wheels or hose with nozzle. This vacuum cleaner instead takes the form of a stick with a handle and a small collection container. It is therefore very compact and practical. It is easy to store and you can have it at hand at any time. It is perfect for express vacuuming and will save you a lot of time.

5 advantages of stick vacuum cleaners

Stick vacuum cleaners are becoming a common part of modern households, where great emphasis is placed on both functionality and aesthetics. Their advantages include:

1. Compactness

The biggest advantage of stick vacuum cleaners is their small size and compactness. The vacuum cleaner will not take up half of your closet, but you can always have it hanging/leaning on the wall and ready for use.

2. Simple handling

These devices are very light and easy to operate. You can control them with just one hand and save yourself a lot of effort. You can easily reach all corners of the apartment with them. Plus, they're usually wireless, allowing you to move freely without tangled cables.

3. Nice design

Stick vacuum cleaners are designed to be not only practical, but also visually beautiful. They usually have a modern design and attractive colors that you can match with your home design. You no longer have to hide your ugly vacuum cleaners from the world.

4. Versatility

Stick vacuum cleaners are very versatile and suitable for cleaning various spaces. They cope best with smooth paving, but are also suitable for cleaning carpets. They also often have a removable part that works as a handheld vacuum for cleaning furniture, cars or hard-to-reach places.

5. Silent operation

Since stick vacuums have less power, they are usually quieter than traditional floor vacuums, especially when compared to older models of vacuums. You won't bother anyone by using them.

Disadvantages of stick vacuum cleaners

Of course, even in the case of perfectly practical stick vacuum cleaners, it is necessary to mention a few negatives. They are mainly:

Weaker performance

As we have already mentioned, the performance of a stick vacuum cleaner may be lower compared to classic ones, but modern models can offer sufficient suction power for common household needs. However, if you want to use this type of vacuum cleaner for more demanding tasks or larger surfaces, its performance may not be sufficient for you.

Charging

In the case of wireless vacuum cleaners, the disadvantage can be limited battery life and the need for regular charging. The battery capacity can vary, but usually the vacuuming time is limited to 20 to 60 minutes depending on the model and power. Usually, more expensive and more advanced models will give you more battery capacity.

Emptying

Since stick vacuum cleaners do not have classic bags and have a collection container with a smaller volume, more frequent emptying is logically necessary. It is ideal after every vacuuming and sometimes during it.

Who is a stick vacuum cleaner suitable for?

Each type of vacuum cleaner is suitable for different needs and requirements. So who is the rod ideal for? 

YES

Reach for it if you are looking for a helper for quick and easy daily household cleaning, especially a smaller apartment. You will especially appreciate it if you need to vacuum often, for example if you have a dog, cat or children at home. Stick vacuum cleaners will be loved by all who are looking for practicality, storage, nice design and don't want to stretch too much with a large vacuum cleaner.

NIE

If you need a vacuum cleaner for more demanding tasks, for example for very dirty floors and carpets, or for oversized spaces, a stick vacuum cleaner will not be ideal for you. In this case, look for a more robust vacuum cleaner with great performance and suction power that can handle anything. And if you are one of those who just want to put their feet up (literally) and let the vacuum cleaner do its job, choose a robotic one.
