Product Information

The DS4095’s ability to effectively pick up fur and debris nearly matches that of the Dyson V12 Detect Slim. The manual advises avoiding direct contact with the fragrance pod and to keep it away from children and pets, and Shark wouldn’t give us information about its ingredients. Carolyn Forté brings more than 40 years of experience as a consumer products expert to her role as executive director of the Good Housekeeping Institute's Home Care and Cleaning Lab. The Shark also tends to get bogged down on thick carpeting; if that's a problem, the Miele Triflex HX1 is a good alternative, even if it has a smaller dustbin and a shorter battery life. In our baking-soda cleaning test, this Ryobi model extracted 96% of the debris—nearly as much as the Dyson V12 Detect Slim picked up.

We then ran the top performers in a multi-person, multi-pet, multi-rug home for several weeks to see how they handled a variety of surfaces and messes (cat and bunny litter included).In terms of performance, it does a great job dealing with debris on bare floors and carpeting, though it does fall ever so slightly short of the Dyson V15 Detect on low-pile carpeting and bare floors. This design can feel uncomfortable to use, and we found ourselves switching hands frequently while vacuuming.

Its cleaner head swivels 180 degrees, allowing it to reach into tight corners, around table legs, and between furniture better than other vacuums we’ve tested. Ease of use: Because a vacuum must not only perform well but also make cleaning less of a chore, we weigh how heavy it is and measure the run time for battery-operated models. Replaced Tineco PURE ONE S11 with Samsung Jet 60 Pet as the 'Best Mid-Range Cordless Stick Vacuum' pick due to current product pricing. The controls are clear and easy to use and it comes with a wall-mountable caddy that holds all the vacuum's attachments — even a flexible hose — so nothing gets lost. Its battery recharges in under two hours—faster than that of any other vacuum we tested in our latest round.Once you add the rotating brush or another attachment that requires power, battery run time goes down. The Ryobi 18V One+ HP Cordless Pet Stick Vac Kit with Dual-Roller Bar is a well-rounded workhorse, though it’s heavy and harder to maneuver on stairs. Predicted brand reliability is based on estimated problem rates for newly purchased cordless stick vacuums, not covered by an extended warranty or service contract, within the first five years of ownership. Battery performance is also strong for a budget-friendly cordless vacuum; you can expect a max runtime of almost an hour when you use the vacuum in its most energy-efficient mode, which exceeds the pricier Samsung Jet 60 when running in a similar configuration. And while it comes with a backup battery, one battery had enough charge to give us over 53 minutes of run time on low speed and almost get us through vacuuming all the floors in a 2,000-square-foot home.

Its large, 27-ounce dustbin, which is more than double the size of our other top pick’s bin, won’t quickly fill up with debris or fur. Simply turn it on to shine an angled beam of light directly in front of the vacuum to illuminate and nab the tiny pieces of dust and hair you can’t easily see in normal light. This Ryobi stick vac is made from thick plastic and metal, and it feels sturdier in construction than the Dyson V12 Detect Slim.We ran into a similar problem with the Bissell ICONpet Turbo Edge: After we emptied its bin, reinserting the bin was impossible. They are lightweight and easy to grab when you don’t have the time (or the energy) to lug out your full-size canister or upright vacuum.

In our tests, we found the suction to be powerful and the three cleaning modes — min, mid and max — suitable for cleaning any type of flooring we encountered. The V12 Detect Slim’s roughly 12-ounce dustbin is minuscule, capable of storing less than half as much debris as that of our other top pick. In our testing, the head readily captured 6-inch strands of hair, but the brush was less effective with 18-inch-long hair.At their best, cordless stick vacuums are versatile, shape-shifting creatures that transform into different configurations with the help of useful attachments.
