When you will have three totally different flooring in your home, like I do, utilizing a cordless stick vacuum is the important thing ingredient to retaining them clear. It is simple to hold round to totally different areas, compact sufficient to hoover two staircases with out pulling a muscle, and nonetheless broad sufficient to hoover a complete residing and eating space in a couple of minutes.
The downsides, in fact, are twofold: the danger of the battery operating out, and the canister restrict on how a lot mud and grime it may well collect. I’ve tried just a few stick vacuums, however the one which makes these two downsides really feel nonexistent is the Tineco Pure One Station 5 vacuum. That is as a result of it comes with a freestanding charging station that not solely holds up and costs your vacuum but additionally will auto-empty it into the bigger canister in stated base station. Abruptly, there is not any canister-emptying step to cope with after every vacuuming session: I simply pop it within the station, and it takes care of itself.
It is a fairly helpful package deal that prices a reasonably penny as effectively. However the freestanding charging and emptying base station has made the Pure One Station 5 really feel extremely handy and fewer irritating than having to continually empty a tiny canister. Plus, it is highly effective sufficient to suck up cat litter and sneaky mud bunnies in addition to my toddler’s Hansel and Gretel-esque meals trails round the home.

The vacuum is simple to construct, coming with the vacuum base, Tineco’s ZeroTangle brush, and a tube to attach the 2 collectively, plus a 2-in-1 crevice brush and the bottom station. There’s a bit of cutout within the base station to retailer that crevice accent, plus an influence wire to energy the suction within the base station and cost the vacuum.
The bottom station has a 2.5-liter dustbin capability, bigger than you’d discover on our favourite ground vacuums just like the Dyson Ball Animal 3 Further—that one has about 1.5 liters. Which means you may have loads of vacuuming classes earlier than it is advisable to empty the bottom station. The dustbin on the precise vacuum itself is way smaller, however a traditional measurement for a cordless vacuum. I used to be often nonetheless in a position to vacuum a complete ground of my home, cat litter and all, while not having to take an emptying break, however households with numerous deep-pile carpeting or fluffy canine might fill this up a lot sooner.
The station guarantees to each empty the connected dustbin and self-clean the vacuum by pushing air by means of the vacuum’s filter, tube, brush attachment, and naturally, the just lately emptied dustbin. You possibly can hear the sound change when it switches from simply emptying into the “cleansing” stage of pushing air by means of the vacuum. Each levels are fairly noisy and remind me of the sound you hear when a robotic vacuum is emptying itself into an analogous base station.
