Stick vacuums
 

Tell me about your stick vacuum & why you like it or hate it. I’m considering one for lower level. We don’t have animals.

I've had several over the years and they all ended up at Goodwill. I don't think they have enough power and are worthless on carpet. They're okay on hard flooring but i prefer my little Oreck tank type vacuum for that.

I have an upright Shark that works well & I can go from carpet to hard floor with no problem. I'll also use a Swiffer under the table & beds. Some stick vacs aren't strong enough for carpets.

I too love my Shark. Quite powerful and works well on carpet.

I have a Shark and love it, easy to handle, lightweight, great suction and it's easy to clean. I have no carpet except area rugs and I have a fur kid, it works great picks up dust, dirt and fur.

I have a Dyson I purchased last spring (when my DIL and grandsons came to live with us due to Covid)…It was a life saver with a 6 and 3 year old and their dog. The one I have does a great job on wood floors and carpet, works wonderfully for quick cleanups without having to drag out the large canister vacuum. I know Dyson can be pricey but I had a gift certificate and coupon for Bed Bath Beyond. I am going to purchase on for my summer cottage…

I have a Dyson that I purchased reconditioned from Amazon. Very powerful and love it. It is chargeable. Also have a big floor model Dyson and wouldn't have anything else.

A couple of years ago I bought a Shark that easily trades out heads for hardwood floors. The hardwood floor attachment has a dust pad and is great. I use it upstairs where I can switch between laminate floors in my sewing room to carpet in the other rooms.

When my Dyson died last year after 15 years I bought another Shark. The one with the swivel head. It works great on carpet and picks up enough debris from kitchen tile to prepare for mopping.

I have a Dyson. I have hard wood floors and I love that I can turn off the beater bars while vacuuming. I live in an old 2 story house and recently bought my 2nd Dyson. Now I don't have to carry one up and down stairs.

I have a Dyson stick also. It's great on my carpet and tile floors. Another GREAT thing about it is it comes with a couple attachments...the flat skinny one is the one I used the most. It gets up close to my baseboards and such. AND - I can also sweep my car out with it...it works so great! I can run out and do my car in about 10 minutes.

Does your Shark have a cord or is it cordless? I really like that brand and am looking for a cordless stick vacuum. TIA

I have six or seven of the cheap ones from Walmart. I have hardwood floors that show every crumb. I keep one in each closet so it's easy to spot clean dust bunnies and easy to get under the beds and furniture. I keep one in the laundry room, pantry, and foyer closet. They sure are handy. My grands from age two has played with them, kids sure love a vacuum cleaner. LOL I have a Dyson regular one for the rugs. It does okay but nothing amazing.

I really like my Dyson. The suction and ease of use is great. However the first one I had only lasted about 5 years before the battery died. And it seemed that the longer I had it, it kept losing the battery charge. I did buy another one though because I really really liked it. I loved my regular Sharp vacuum, but I hated the cord.

For hard surfaces I like the Swiffer Stick vac. Cordless. I have two Dysons. The old purple one which works great after all these years. Maybe 20. And a cordless one. They all get used.

I have a Eureka RapidCleanPro that is excellent & cordless. I don't have carpeting, so can't comment on that, but it's a gem on wood floors.

I have the shark rocket and it really picks up good. I mainly have hardwood floors with two room size rugs/carpet. It does a real good job.

I love them for our hardwood stairs and floors, and just to do a quick pick up of things on carpeting. We have a Dyson at our NC house. We'll move that to TN eventually so I bought a cheaper model on Amazon for the TN house and frankly like it just as much.

I couldn't stand to be without them.

My Shark is corded but it is a very long cord. I live in a mobile home & can vac about 3/4 of the length before moving the plug in.

My son has a Dyson that he said is incredible. He loves housework. I told him he would have made a great "housewife" LOL

I keep buying Sharks ( but not a stick). They work well but I may get one of those Dysons that you charge when I need a new one. He loves his.
