This stick vacuum cleaner presents the best quality/price ratio in our comparison

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 flaws. Certainly, the remaining autonomy indicator is reduced to its simplest expression and certain competing stick vacuum cleaners are more attractive thanks to their additional features or a more comprehensive 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.

The second best quality/price ratio

The Dreame T20 Mistral combines all the qualities you would expect from a stick vacuum cleaner. It vacuums very well whatever surface it passes over and the multicyclonic filtration with which it is equipped prevents dust from leaving the collector to saturate the filters or redeposit in the room which has just been cleaned. In addition, it multiplies the little tips (screen, changing the operating mode, etc.) to make life easier for the user. The only downside is that its autonomy seems a little light to us, even if its removable battery can be changed on the fly.
