Similarly, can a stick vacuum replace a normal vacuum?
Traditional (corded)
So although some stick vacuums are definitely a substitute for a full vacuum – and the performance gap is closing – we can't say that's the case for most models out there. Since we have to choose, the barrel/upright still wins.
Subsequently, question is, what is the advantage of a stick vacuum? Stick vacuum cleaners are comparatively lighter and smaller in size than traditional vacuum cleaners. They are easy to move and ideal for spot cleaning spills. One of the main benefits of the stick vacuum cleaner is its lightweight. Being a lightweight device, even elderly people can easily use the vacuum cleaner.
Similarly one may ask, are upright vacuum cleaners better?
Upright Vacuums
Pros: Uprights tend to cost less than canister vacuums and cut a wider cleaning swath. They're generally better at deep-cleaning carpets—particularly the bagged models. Most are relatively easy to store because they stand up on their own.
Are stick vacuums less powerful?
A high voltage lithium ion battery gives you a longer run time than a less powerful, lower voltage stick vacuum, so you don't have to stop and charge the battery as much, and higher end vacuums generally charge faster so you get what you pay for.
