When you might have three completely different flooring in your own home, like I do, utilizing a cordless stick vacuum is the important thing ingredient to protecting them clear. It is simple to hold round to completely different areas, compact sufficient to hoover two staircases with out pulling a muscle, and nonetheless vast sufficient to hoover a whole 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 could possibly collect. I’ve tried a couple of 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 mentioned base station. Abruptly, there is not any canister-emptying step to take care of after every vacuuming session: I simply pop it within the station, and it takes care of itself.
It is a fairly helpful bundle that prices a fairly 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 continuously 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 cutout within the base station to retailer that crevice accent, plus an influence twine 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 flooring vacuums just like the Dyson Ball Animal 3 Further—that one has about 1.5 liters. Meaning you may have loads of vacuuming periods earlier than you could empty the bottom station. The dustbin on the precise vacuum itself is far smaller, however a standard dimension for a cordless vacuum. I used to be often nonetheless capable of vacuum a whole flooring of my home, cat litter and all, without having to take an emptying break, however households with plenty of deep-pile carpeting or fluffy canines might fill this up a lot quicker.
The station guarantees to each empty the hooked up 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’ll be able to hear the sound change when it switches from simply emptying into the “cleansing” stage of pushing air by means of the vacuum. Each phases are fairly noisy and remind me of the sound you hear when a robotic vacuum is emptying itself into the same base station.
