Too Easy
Another Wednesday, another stick vacuum.
This one comes to us from Shark, a trusted brand named after a very untrustworthy fish. It features powerful suction, making it great for vacuuming up pet hair on a variety of surfaces. Plus, it’s got HEPA filtration, so you don’t need to worry about a cleaning session kicking up a bunch of nasty dust and allergens.
In other words, it’s a good vacuum. So, whether you buy it or not will depend upon two things: 1) whether you need a vacuum at all; and 2) whether you need a stick vacuum.
Now, we believe in transparency. We’re not gonna sit here and tell you a stick vac is perfect for every house. For example, if you live in a 3000 square foot minimalist ranch with expansive room after expansive room of uninterrupted white carpet, buy a corded vacuum. Otherwise, you’ll be taking frequent breaks to let your stick vac charge up.
But if you live in a modest-sized house (or a not-so-modest house that you don’t clean all at once) with some hardwood, some tile, some carpet, some nice area rugs, etc., then this would be a great investment. There’s no wheeling around, no searching for outlets. You just walk in, put the business end down, hit the button, and go.
This leads us to what might be, low key, the biggest selling point of the stick vac: since it’s so easy to use, it’s perfect for between-real-cleaning-sessions cleaning sessions.
You know what we’re talking about. You daringly eat a croissant without any plate or napkin to catch the flakes. Your kid drops a cheerio and someone grinds it into the living room rug. A particularly rainy couple days leave the mat in the mud room caked with dirt while the rest of the house appears spotless. If you’ve got a big old corded push vacuum, all these scenarios are annoying as hell. But with a stick vac, it’s not a problem. Because a stick vac is basically a dust buster on steroids.
Why, even those of you who live in the aforementioned mega-ranch house with nothing but white carpet might want to get one as a between-big-cleaning-sessions option.
Then again, two whole-ass vacuums? That’s a lot.
Then again again, if you want to buy one from us, we don’t care what your situation is.
