"Bissell's PowerClean FurFinder for $210: This is a great stick vacuum, and it was our previous top pick. It does an all-around good job on all kinds of flooring, comes with a nice range of accessories, and has the FurFinder tool to help with pet hair. It's still a great vacuum, especially if you have pets, but unless you're using the FurFinder tool frequently, you can get the slightly cheaper regular Bissell PowerClean for a similar experience."
"The Black & Decker Powerseries Extreme Max is a great stick vacuum that's cheaper than most others. It stands up on its own and has three power levels you can easily control on the handle, and it handled well on the different surfaces in my home. I liked this vacuum a lot, but it didn't stand as stable as the Bissell above did, and the handle felt a little plasticky compared to it and other vacuums I tested."
Several honorable-mention stick vacuums deliver solid cleaning performance at lower prices but exhibit specific trade-offs. Bissell IconPet Turbo Edge ($366) picks up hair and cat litter, converts to a handheld, and has a longer battery, yet struggles with small cereal pickup and cannot stand upright. Bissell PowerClean FurFinder ($210) performs well on various floors and includes pet-focused accessories, while the regular PowerClean offers similar value for less frequent FurFinder use. Bosch Unlimited 10 ($699) offers multiple modes and a bendable design but sometimes fails to retain debris despite a 10-year motor warranty. Black & Decker Powerseries Extreme Max ($209) provides strong value, upright standing, and multiple power levels, though stability and handle quality trail slightly behind higher-tier models. Dirt Devil Power Swerve Pet ($72) remains a budget option with mixed longevity results.
