As well as being very quiet, it is designed to efficiently clean your dishes, with water coming from multiple angles and a bottom-spray arm mechanism with four rotating blades. Customers on Appliances Online also rate it highly, with an average of 4.7 stars from over 96 reviews.

Four factors that can help you find the best stick vacuum cleaner for your home

1. Battery life and charge times

As cordless stick vacuums are, well, cordless, you’ll need to consider the downtime needed to recharge. Depending on the area you want to use the vacuum for, consider how long you’ll need a charge to last – because there’s nothing worse than a vacuum that stops working midway through your cleaning routine. 

2. Capacity

Whether you’re using your cordless stick vacuum for the whole house, a designated area (i.e. your home office), or spot cleaning during the week, it’s important to have a vacuum cleaner with a big enough dustbin to clean the whole space. The same goes for water tanks if you choose a cordless vacuum-mop combo. Generally, the bigger the dustbin, the more convenient. However, it’s also important to consider how much ‘extra’ weight you want to carry around due to a larger dustbin. 

3. Floor-type suitability

If you have mixed flooring within your home, you’ll want to ensure your cordless stick vacuum has the capability to work efficiently on all surfaces or have different attachments to make this possible.

4. Vacuum accessories

Different rooms have their unique quirks. Maybe the master bedroom has a hard-to-reach corner, or maybe you’ve been dying to get rid of the dust lining the skirting board – having different attachments for every *unique* task will make cleaning easy breezy.

What are the benefits of bamboo bed sheets? 

Bamboo comes with many benefits but key ones include the following:

• Bamboo is a natural fibre that has excellent moisture-wicking and thermal insulation properties
• Bamboo is the fastest-growing renewable fibre and requires less water than cotton or linen to grow
• It has a silky smooth feel that is cool against the skin

Are there any downsides to bamboo bed sheets? 

According to Hayley, even the fussiest sleepers will enjoy sleeping in bamboo bed sheets, but there is one exception. “If you’re a fan of a crisp or structured bed, then it’s probably not the right fabric for you.” If this is you, we recommend cotton sheets or linen sheets instead. 

How do you care for bamboo bed sheets? 

Bamboo bedding requires some special care when laundering to ensure it stays soft and lasts as long as possible. “We recommend washing it inside out and on its own,” says Hayley who also recommends selecting a cool water temperature and a mild detergent. 

What are the signs of good quality bamboo bedding? 

Hayley says it’s important to check the sheets you’re considering purchasing are labelled as”hypoallergenic” and indicate that they’re soft to the touch. She also advises you to opt for sheets made using the Lyocell process. “This method uses organic solvents which results in a more environmentally friendly fibre – one that is high-strength and has natural antibacterial properties.”
