When you’ve gotten three totally different flooring in your 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 totally 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, after all, are twofold: the chance of the battery working out, and the canister restrict on how a lot mud and dust it will probably collect. I’ve tried just a few 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 fees your vacuum but additionally will auto-empty it into the bigger canister in stated base station. Immediately, there isn’t any canister-emptying step to cope with after every vacuuming session: I simply pop it within the station, and it takes care of itself.
It is a fairly useful 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 always 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 straightforward 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 somewhat cutout within the base station to retailer that crevice accent, plus an influence wire 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 ground vacuums just like the Dyson Ball Animal 3 Further—that one has about 1.5 liters. Meaning you will have loads of vacuuming periods earlier than you should 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 in a position to vacuum a whole ground of my home, cat litter and all, without having to take an emptying break, however households with plenty of deep-pile carpeting or fluffy canine 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 via the vacuum’s filter, tube, brush attachment, and naturally, the not too long ago emptied dustbin. You possibly can hear the sound change when it switches from simply emptying into the “cleansing” stage of pushing air via the vacuum. Each phases are fairly noisy and remind me of the sound you hear when a robotic vacuum is emptying itself into an analogous base station.
