Vekto Stick
Every room on one charge, and you will never cut hair off the roller again. Suction that brings the carpet pile up and pulls the grit out from underneath. Up to an hour on one charge, upstairs and down in one go, and a bin you empty once a run.
Three-bed semi, stairs, laminate down and carpet up. Did the whole house and the car on one charge with plenty left, then stood it in the corner and walked off. The green light showed me a hallway I thought was clean.Claire B. · York
Grab it off the wall, whizz round the whole place, hang it back up. Here is what changes in the first week.
Drag the handle. Left is a normal hoover roller after a week in a house with a dog. Right is the Vekto Stick roller after the same week.
Drag to compare
A 500-watt motor pulls 55 kPa of suction on Max. In plain English, it picks the bits up instead of pushing them round the floor. The crumbs under the high chair, the grit in the hall carpet and the mud off the car mats come up on the first pass. Not the third. Mid handles the carpets. Eco does the laminate and most of the house.
Three modes, chosen with a button on the body, and the screen tells you which one you are in.
The battery runs up to an hour on Eco. That is a three-bed semi with a hall, stairs and landing, then the car, with charge to spare. Then it charges on the wall dock in about four hours, with both tools hanging beside it. Leave it on the dock between cleans or not, as you like.
Stop halfway to answer the door and it stands where you leave it, balanced on its own head. No leaning it against the wall, and no drilling unless you want to. The wall dock is in the box if you do.
The roller is V-shaped with comb teeth built into the head. As it spins, the V pushes hair to the centre and the teeth strip it off and it is sucked straight up into the bin. Long hair, dog hair, cat hair, the thread off a rug. It ends up in the bin.
No scissors, no unpicking, no flipping it over on the kitchen floor on a Sunday.
Five green LEDs across the front of the head light the floor at a low angle. That is the angle that makes fine dust and pale pet hair show up against laminate or a skirting board. The first time you use it in a hallway you thought was clean is a small shock.
Under the bed, under the sofa, the dust balls along the skirting boards. It shows you what you missed, then picks it up.
Hold it over the kitchen bin, press the button, the bottom drops open and the dust falls out. Your hands never go near it. The bin holds 1.5 litres, nearly three times the size of a Dyson V8's. The whole house in a two-pet home is one empty, not three. Six filter stages and a washable filter keep 99.99% of the fine dust inside the machine. None of it blows back into the room.
The filter rinses under the tap. A second one is in the box. There are no filters to keep buying.
Pull the wand off and the body is a handheld with the same suction, so the stairs are a doddle, one step at a time. The crevice tool reaches down the side of the car seat and flips to a brush for the dashboard. The wide sofa nozzle does the cushions, the mattress and the dog bed. Both tools hang on the dock so they are there when you need them.
Every tool, the charging dock and a spare filter are in the box. The screen shows battery, mode and any alert.
A cordless hoover comes down to three things. How hard it pulls, whether the hair gets past the brush, and how much fuss it is. Here is how Vekto Stick handles each one.
A 500 W motor pulls 55 kPa of suction at the head, enough to lift grit out of the carpet. The motorised roller brings the pile up on carpet and sweeps laminate, with the green LED showing you where the dust is.
The V-shaped roller drives hair to the centre where comb teeth strip it off and it is sucked up. It goes into the bin as loose hair, not a rope around the brush.
Six filter stages hold 99.99% of fine dust in the machine. The 1.5-litre bin means one empty for the whole house. The battery runs up to an hour, upstairs and down in one go. And it stands up on its own wherever you stop.
Covered for two years, with 60 days to try it in your own home.
What the first month looks like in a typical home with pets, stairs and a mix of floors.
The hallway you thought was clean lights up with fine dust and pale hair. It is a small shock. Then it is gone.
You flip it over out of habit. Nothing wrapped. The hair is in the bin where it belongs.
Every room, the stairs, the landing, the sofa and the car, and the battery is not flashing. It goes back on the wall.
You hoover more because it takes five minutes and the hoover is by the door. The big one has not been out since.
You have read the reviews: "60 minutes" that turns out to be 20 with the head on. Here is the straight answer.
Up to 60 minutes is on Eco, the quiet mode, with the floor head attached, not the head-off number some brands quote. That is how most of a house gets done. Mid gives you about 35 minutes for carpets. Max is about 20 minutes and it is for the mess, not the whole house.
A three-bed semi with stairs and a landing is 25 to 40 minutes of hoovering. The point is finishing the house, not the number on the box.
It stands up on its own when you stop. The bin holds a whole house. The dock charges it with the tools hanging beside it. The reasons people go back to the plug-in one are gone.
Twenty years fixing cordless hoovers that packed up just out of warranty. This is the one he tells his customers to buy, so they do not have to come back.
Two things come through my door every week. A roller strangled with hair, and a cordless with a dead battery sealed inside it. The customer has to choose between a repair that costs half the price of the hoover and a new hoover. Vekto Stick stops the first one and makes the second one rare. The V-roller actually strips hair. I have tested it with a bag of my own dog's. And a 1.5-litre bin with a big washable filter means the motor is never fighting a blocked filter. No pulsing, no cutting out halfway round. That is why I tell people to buy it.

Same goal: a clean house without a fight. Three very different bills.
Great on day one. Then the hair wraps the roller and the little bin fills twice a clean. When it conks out just out of warranty, it is £65 a pop for a battery or the same again for a new one.
Twenty minutes on a charge on a good day and a roller that wraps on the first pass. No spares, and nobody to call when it packs up.
Proper suction, the whole house on one charge, a roller that does not wrap and a bin you empty once. It stands on its own and every tool is in the box. Covered for two years, with 60 days to try it at home. Delivered free and fast from our UK warehouse.

long hair, threads, rug fluff, pet hair, the lot.
and most say the corded one has not been out since.

Light enough to carry up one-handed and do each step as a handheld. The green light on the front shows crumbs along the edge of the carpet I'd been walking past for years. Wife noticed the stairs before I said anything.
Laminate downstairs, carpet up, one dog who moults like it's her job. Did the whole house on one charge with plenty left and I have flipped the head over ten times looking for hair. Nothing on it. My old one got the scissors every Sunday. Still a bit suspicious honestly.
Pulls harder than the big name I paid double for and the bin holds a whole clean of the house. Three long-haired daughters and not one thread on the roller. It is a bit heavy held up high for the cobwebs, so the corded one keeps that job. Dock took ten minutes. Four stars for the weight.
Lives on the wall by the kitchen. I grab it three times a day. Under the high chair is thirty seconds. Emptying it over the bin without touching anything is the best part of my week right now.
Didn't need a big hoover, needed one I'd use. Sofa with the little brush, floors on the low setting, charges on the shelf by the door. Quieter than my flatmate's.
Wanted something for the car and thought I'd get a proper hoover for the same money. Skinny tool gets down the side of the seats. Then I did the house on the same charge. The corded one's been under the stairs since May.
Two screws for the mount, a click for the wand, a charge, and it is your hoover.
Hang it on the dock or plug the cable into the body. About four hours from empty. The screen shows the level.
Wand into the body, floor head onto the wand. The crevice tool and the sofa nozzle hang on the dock so they are always with it.
Two screws, and the dock charges the stick and holds both tools. Or skip the drill: it stands on its own in the corner. A hoover you can see is a hoover you use.
The spare filter, the sofa nozzle and the charging dock are in the box, not sold separately. Keep the box for 60 days in case you want to send it back.
For people who want the whole house done in one go, and are done with hoovers that pack up just out of warranty.
If the first list sounds like your home, this is the hoover. And you have 60 days to try it at home.
