On the downside, the atrocious dustbin falls off the vacuum anytime you bump it, replacement filters aren’t always in stock, and its bare-floor cleaning is just okay. (It’s not as great at digging out pet hair or fine dust.) This vac also runs on the same batteries as a lot of Black+Decker power tools, so spares are plentiful and affordable. For a stick vacuum at this relatively low price, it’s surprisingly effective on short- and even medium-pile rugs-at least for gritty types of debris like crumbs or sand.
If you want a decent cord-free carpet cleaner but don’t want to spend much, the Black+Decker Powerseries Extreme 20V Max is (usually) the least-expensive model we’d recommend. The V8 in particular is overpriced and also seems to be about two to three times as prone to premature battery malfunctions as a typical cordless vacuum, according to our AI analysis of owner reviews. Their battery lives are about average and, we think, ample for most uses (roughly 35 minutes for the V8), but they use built-in (or screw-in) battery packs, so it’s impractical to swap in a spare battery as some owners would like to be able to do. Dyson sticks are fine on bare floors but nothing special. Although they’re quite light, their trigger-style power switch can feel uncomfortable because you need to keep it squeezed constantly to make your vacuum run. The thicker the rug and the clingier the debris, the bigger the advantage Dyson has over any other competitor at this price.īut Dyson sticks aren’t our top pick (anymore) because we don’t think their rug-cleaning power is so superior that it offsets their disadvantages compared with other cordless vacuums. If you want a cordless vacuum that can actually deep-clean your rugs, the Dyson V8 series–which includes the V8 Absolute, the V8, and the V8 Animal–will come closest to doing the job for less than $500. Like most cordless vacuums now, the S11 works with extra battery packs that you can buy to extend the run time (though they’re $90 each), and it can function as a handheld vacuum, too. On big messes, the S11 automatically bumps up the suction, too.
The S11 also has a built-in dust sensor, which we found to be surprisingly helpful: Whenever you roll over debris, an LED ring changes colors to give you a visual cue that you’re actually vacuuming something. And based on an AI-assisted analysis of customer reviews, we’ve found that most S11 owners are perfectly satisfied with its cleaning power. While it won’t pull as much dust or hair out of rugs as some other models near this price (including the Dyson V8 series, one of our runner-up picks), the S11 is strong enough that we’re comfortable recommending it considering its other advantages over its competitors.
The S11’s best trait is how comfortable it is to handle even during long cleaning sessions (you can realistically get about 30 minutes on a fully charged battery pack), as it feels lighter and easier to steer than any of its close competitors.įor the price, it did an above-average job of cleaning rugs and bare floors in our testing. It sort of wins by default, because every other cordless stick vac with a similar battery life and cleaning ability has some kind of serious downside.
The Tineco Pure One S11 is our top pick because it’s pretty good (not great) at the important stuff, and it doesn’t have any major flaws.
