Quick Pick
For superior cordless cleaning power, go with the Dyson V15 Detect Cordless Vacuum Cleaner. It outperforms budget options with laser dust detection and 60+ minutes of runtime. Check current price.
Cordless stick vacuums are game-changers for quick cleanups in small homes, apartments, or multi-level houses. The Dirt Devil Reach Max Plus BD22510PC stands out as a budget-friendly option under $100, powered by a 20V lithium-ion battery. At just 6.6 pounds, it's easy to maneuver around furniture and stairs. It includes handy attachments like a crevice tool, dusting brush, and pet tool, making it versatile for everyday messes.
In our hands-on tests across various floor types, it delivered reliable performance on hard surfaces but showed its limits on carpets. With a 0.42-quart dirt cup and 22 minutes of runtime per charge, it's ideal for spot cleaning rather than whole-home deep cleans. We scored it based on debris pickup, emissions, usability, and build quality. Overall, it earns a 67/100 from Review Atlas—fair for the price but not a powerhouse.

The table shows the Dirt Devil shines on bare floors but lags on carpets. For deeper cleaning, check the Dyson V15 Detect—view details.
The Reach Max Plus excelled here, capturing 99.2% of sand in our tests. Its brush roll and suction handle rice, cereal, and dust bunnies effortlessly. Emissions were low at 2.4% dust escape, keeping air clean. Great for hardwood, tile, or vinyl kitchens.
This is where it falters. On low-pile, it grabbed 72.1% of sand; mid-pile dropped to 54.3%. Fine for light rugs but struggles with embedded dirt in plush carpets. Boost mode helps marginally but drains battery faster.
Pet hair pickup scored 84% on bare floors but only 45% on carpet. The pet tool helps, but tangles occur. Maneuverability is strong with a swivel head, and the dirt cup empties easily (though messy). Runtime hits 22 minutes on standard—enough for a 1,000 sq ft apartment.

If carpets are your priority, upgrade to the Yeedi C12 Robot Vacuum for hands-free power.
