Good deal – The Kärcher VC 6 Cordless OurFamily “4 stars” stick vacuum cleaner at 199.99 €

With its VC6 Cordless OurFamily, Kärcher is trying its hand at a stick vacuum cleaner. This first attempt results in a rather simple model, which focuses on the essentials, without many frills other than a removable battery.

By relying on now well-known technologies, Kärcher ensures that its VC6 stick vacuum cleaner does not suffer from any major design defects. Certainly, the remaining autonomy indicator is reduced to its simplest expression and certain competing stick vacuum cleaners are more attractive thanks to their additional functionalities or a more extensive set of accessories. The VC6 still benefits from some welcome additions (the suction mode selector, in particular), but it is above all its effectiveness on all types of floors which largely argues in its favor.

Strong points

• Good suction performance on all types of floors.
• Fractional or continuous suction, your choice.
• Easy maintenance.
• Sound level contained.

Weak points

• Inaccurate battery life indicators.
• Few accessories provided.

Alternatively

The Proscenic P12 stick vacuum accomplishes its mission efficiently, while containing the dust in its collector. It stands out as the manufacturer’s best model and a prime competitor for the medal for the best performance-price ratio in our comparison, even if everything is not perfect. The Vertect light, a pale copy of an idea much better exploited by Dyson, leaves a more than mixed impression, just like the whistling emitted by the machine and its autonomy a little too much. just to our taste.
