How to choose
Runtime for a small room
Every pick here runs on a battery, so runtime decides how much you clean on one charge. The Meskos lists up to 65 minutes, the KARDV and Dyson list up to 60 minutes, and the Shark and BLACK+DECKER list up to 40 minutes. Check the mode behind the figure: the Meskos gives 65 minutes in Eco mode and 25 minutes in Max, and the KARDV gives 60 minutes in Min mode and 20 to 25 minutes in Max mode.
Weight and storage
Weight matters when you carry a stick vacuum up stairs or lift it to a shelf. The Meskos and KARDV weigh 5 lb, the Dyson weighs 5.17 lb, the Shark weighs 7.05 lb and the BLACK+DECKER weighs 8 lb. For storage, the Meskos and BLACK+DECKER stand on their own with no leaning, and the KARDV charges on a wall mount.
Brushes and hair
Pet hair and long hair wrap around a brushroll, so the brush design matters. The Shark has a self-cleaning brushroll that removes long hair and pet hair as you clean. The Meskos and KARDV use V-shaped anti-tangle brushes, the Dyson Motorbar de-tangles wrapped hair, and the BLACK+DECKER has an anti-tangle brush bar. If hair pickup is your main job, compare these brush designs before the runtime figure.
