A big hit in the household appliance market, the stick vacuum cleaner is gradually threatening the canister vacuum cleaner in homes. And for good reason, the “floor maintenance” category has been pulling the small household appliance (PEM) sector upwards for years according to GIFAM (group of home appliance brands). Indeed, it occupies a quarter of the entire PEM with growth of 6.1% in 2019.
This enthusiasm is not surprising since this device offers maneuverability that is increasingly worked on by manufacturers, suction power sometimes identical to that of canister vacuum cleaners and increasingly long autonomy. In addition, it gets rid of the electric wire and the dust bag.
Long confined to the role of secondary vacuum cleaner in homes, some current models can now claim the title of main device in small spaces. On-board motors are more and more powerful, lithium-ion batteries are more “generous”; the brushes provided (often motorized) allow vacuum cleaners to efficiently and quickly clean all types of floors in the house. The stick vacuum cleaner can now be considered as the only vacuum cleaner in the home, at least for small and medium-sized areas.
Rowenta, Kärcher, Miele, Dyson, Bosch, Philips, Xiaomi… all these brands offer cordless vacuum cleaners at varying prices. From entry-level to high-end, prices range between €80 and €800.
