Stick Vacuums

Stick vacuums are known for moving easily from one location to another, making it easy to complete household chores and tasks quickly. Since the production of the first powered vacuum cleaner in 1901, cleaners evolved into machines that accommodate consumers' preferences and living spaces. These portable vacuum cleaners, available at Staples®, include helpful features to tackle small and large jobs as well as everyday cleaning errands at home or in the office. As well as stick vacuums, there is also a range of other vacuums and cleaning supplies available at Staples. Shop for the most popular brands including Shark Vacuums, Hoover Vacuums, and others.

Consider Features of Stick Vacuums
Handheld vacuums simplify storage issues by taking up less space. Swivel steering and the low weight contribute to ease of use when vacuuming under and around furniture and objects. These bagless vacuums, available in multiple colors, have washable filters and dirt cups that are easy to clean. Battery-powered vacuums usually run for 20 to 25 minutes between charges. Two-speed models allow users to choose slow or high to conserve battery life when less suction is necessary.

Most of these stick vacuums come equipped with bumpers to protect floors, walls, and furniture from damage while vacuuming. The built-in, height-adjustment feature helps the cleaners transition between floors, rugs, and carpets. Devices equipped with edge-cleaning bristles remove dirt when vacuuming close to edges and rims. Some alert users when it's time to clean the filters and when the battery charge level is low, due to an internal, sensing mechanism features.

Uses for Stick Vacuums
These cleaning instruments suck up pet hair, crumbs, and dust that accumulate in houses, offices, cars, and other abodes. The vacuums remove dust from draperies, fabric upholstery, and computer keyboards, keeping these areas free of dirt. Use a stick vacuum to remove pollen from window screens, spider webs from ceilings, and dust from kitchen appliances, especially hard-to-reach areas under the refrigerator. Owners take these vacuums with them on vacations and camping excursions for easy cleanup.

What Factors Influence Buying Stick Vacuums?
Stick vacuums are suitable for hardwood, vinyl, and carpeted floors to fit the needs of various buyers. Some models may include rotating brushes with on-off switches for all floor types, to help gather debris and trap lint when vacuuming the carpet. Buyers can use cordless or robotic vacuums for small jobs such as cleaning stairs and corded varieties work for whole-home or office cleaning. These sweepers move between rooms and floors without requiring extra effort. Users can reach tight spaces such as reading nooks or recessed corners using these cleaning utensils.

What Accessories Are Available for Stick Vacuums?
A soft brush accessory glides over baseboards and furniture to remove dust, while a low-profile nozzle cleans under beds, tables, and desks. The same tool allows users to reach up high to clean ceiling fans and shelves. Use the crevice tool as a detailing attachment when cleaning your vehicle, dryer vent, and air ducts. Many crevice tools come with extensions, which store on board the cleaner, to complete various tasks. The charging stand may include a storage compartment for house accessories.

Do Stick Vacuums Convert to Hand Vacuums?
Many models include a detachable hand vacuum featuring a quick-release button for easy removal. The additional tool is an on-the-spot cleaner for unexpected spills and helps users clean up quickly in preparation for visitors or clients.
