How to choose

Battery and chargingAim for a removable battery or enough runtime for your floor plan; quick charge is a plus.
Brush typeAn anti-tangle brush limits hair wrapping around the roller, especially with dogs and cats.
Power and modesBoost mode is for carpets; eco mode saves battery for everyday hard floors.
Filtration and binFine filtration (ideally HEPA) and an easy-empty bin avoid putting allergens back into the air.
VersatilityHandheld mode and attachments (sofa, corners) make a real difference day to day.

FAQ

Is a cordless stick enough with pets?

Yes for daily upkeep, especially on hard floors. For thick carpets and heavy shedding, a boost mode and a good brush are essential — a canister or robot remains useful as a complement.

How do I extend battery life?

Use eco mode on hard floors, empty the bin regularly and avoid leaving the battery fully drained for long periods.

Do I need an auto-empty dock?

It's a premium convenience: less contact with dust. It isn't essential if you can empty the bin easily after each use.
