If cleaning ain’t your thing and you’re not quite ready to let a laser-guided robot do your dirty work, this cordless upright cleaner called the Best Stick Vacuum is on hand to help make the task quick and easy (and save you flying off the handle when you spill something in a rush).
Suctioning salt and oatmeal on the first pass in testing at the HS Institute (unlike lesser models that required three or more attempts), the Best Stick Vacuum removed debris from both carpeted and hard surface floors, was the easiest model to maneuver, and as a result – scored highest for ease of use.
Including an 18-volt lithium-ion battery that recharges in just 3 hours (rather than the lengthy 18 hours of other models), the Best Stick Vacuum provides 20 consecutive minutes of suction per charge, has a low-profile cleaning head for easy access to hard-to-reach spaces and is available now from Hammacher Schlemmer for $199.95.
