Stick vacuums take the hard work out of keeping your floors clean. Lightweight and efficient, these vacuums offer effortless portability and the convenience of cordless battery power. They’re perfect for taking care of common household messes, and they’re easy to store out of the way.
At Godfreys, we’ve got a large range of stick vacuums, and we want you to choose the best stick vacuum for your home. Here we’ve shared everything you need to know about stick vacuums, so you’ll be ready to make an informed choice when it comes to investing in a new cleaning machine.
Why You'll Love a Stick Vacuum
Why haul a heavy vacuum cleaner around the house when you could easily freshen up your carpets with a lightweight stick vacuum? Consider these benefits when buying a stick vacuum.
Versatility
Stick vacuums are designed for easy steering around furniture and tight corners. Many of our stick vacuums include additional accessories to help clean those hard-to-reach spaces. Some of them also feature detachable hand vacuums for convenient car cleaning, countertop cleaning and small spills.
Easy To Use
Using a stick vacuum doesn’t require much muscle, as many models only weigh a couple of kilograms. Since they’re often lighter than corded vacuums, they let you clean large surface areas quickly and easily.
Superior Safety
While corded vacuums may offer extra power, they often come with certain safety hazards. A stick vacuum allows you to move freely without tripping over the cord or needing to switch between power outlets, which is particularly beneficial if you have stairs or younger children.
Stick Vacuum Types
Thanks to their cord-free design, most stick vacuums have a similar look. However, each model comes with a unique set of features.
2-in-1 Stick Vacuums
2-in-1 stick vacuums make cleaning confined spaces less of a hassle. If you need to freshen up your benchtops, furniture or inside your car, simply detach the hand vacuum component and make the most of high-powered portable suction power.
High-Tech Stick Vacuums
All stick vacuums feature advanced cordless technology, but some models come with especially cutting-edge features. From multi-stage filtration systems to extra-long-lasting batteries, advanced cleaning features can be found in many models.
Allergy Stick Vacuums
Some stick vacuums can reduce the symptoms of allergies or asthma. These types of vacuums typically feature HEPA filters, which trap tiny dust particles and allergens to improve the air quality in your home.
Choosing the Right Stick Vacuum For Your Home
If you’re trying to compare stick vacuums, consider each model’s different features and how they align with your household’s cleaning needs. Here are the top things to consider when comparing stick vacuum models:
Cost
Stick vacuums can cost anywhere from $50 to over $1,000. It really comes down to finding the stick vacuum that has the features you want and fits your budget. If you’re looking for a stick vacuum to handle most of your carpet cleaning, it’s worth spending a little more to get that extra performance. But if you just need a quick way to clean the car or spot-clean before guests arrive, a basic model might make a better addition to your cupboard.
Vacuuming Accessories
If you’re looking for a versatile cleaning machine, stick vacuums often come with crevice tools and upholstery attachments for above-floor cleaning.
Boost Mode
Designed to handle common household messes, boost mode delivers extra suction power for tackling tough cleaning jobs.
Maintenance
To save on maintenance costs, consider investing in a stick vacuum that comes with reusable bags and filters.
Tips For Using a Stick Vacuum
Already a user-friendly option, thanks to their weight, malleability and 2-in-1 handheld benefits, here are a few tips and tricks you can employ to maximise your stick vacuum’s cleaning efficiency.
Recharge Your Stick Vacuum's Batteries
Extend your vacuum’s battery life by charging it after every use. This will also ensure the battery is always ready to go.
Use the Right Accessories
Your vacuum’s accessories aren’t just for decoration. Use your stick vacuum’s cleaning tools to get the best results.
Maintain Your Vacuum
Washing your vacuum’s filters regularly (or replacing them according to your vacuum’s instruction manual) will keep your vacuum running at peak performance for longer.
Store it Somewhere Safe
Extend the lifespan of your stick vacuum, and its charger, by storing them somewhere cool and dry, such as in a cleaning cupboard, under the bed, or in a corner.
Dispose of Dust Regularly
Stick vacuums have compact dust canisters that need to be emptied regularly to prevent the vacuum’s performance from suffering. Try to empty your vacuuums dust canister after every clean to avoid a buildup of dust and debris.
