How to choose

Runtime and batteries

Runtime sets how long you can clean before charging, and batteries decide whether that runtime comes from one battery or two. The Shark runs up to 40 minutes, the BLACK+DECKER runs up to 44 minutes, the Tikom runs 32 minutes, and the Klarpul runs up to 140 minutes with 2 batteries in ECO mode. Match runtime to the size of the space you clean, and check the mode, since ECO, Mid, and Boost runtimes differ for the Klarpul.

Dust cups and filtration

The Shark has an XL dust cup, the Klarpul has a 1.8 L dust cup, and the Tikom has a 1.3 L dust cup. The Shark, Klarpul, and Tikom use HEPA filters, while the BLACK+DECKER uses cyclonic filtration with a disk filter. Check dust cup size and filter type before you buy.

Tools and storage

Tools decide what a stick vacuum can clean beyond floors, and storage decides where it lives between cleans. The Shark converts to a handheld vacuum with a crevice tool and a Pet Multi-Tool, and the BLACK+DECKER converts to a hand vacuum with a crevice tool. The Tikom uses a wall-mounted charging dock, the Klarpul stands on its own, and the Shark clips at the base of the wand for freestanding storage. Compare tools and storage with your home.
