Stick vacuums and sweepers are vacuums that assist both homeowners and business owners in keeping their floors clean. Traditionally these vacuums are best when cordless though a few do come with cords. The corded sweepers take away the advantage of convenience and thus are not recommended. The key features of sweepers and stick vacuums are:

• Light weight, typically weighing 3-8 pounds


• Rechargeable, typically many will have rechargeable batteries or are wall mounted


• Flexibility as many typically allow for fine debris and large debris to be picked up


• Battery life of 15 minutes or more allowing for quick pick ups or a room to be vacuumed efficiently
