Akitas U10 Stick Vacuum Cleaner

Some jobs don't need a full-size vacuum. The Akitas U10 Cordless Stick Vacuum Cleaner is the sort of machine you'll probably reach for when the kids have finished breakfast, the dog's brought half the backyard inside, or you just want to tidy up before visitors arrive.

Powered by a 22.2V lithium-ion battery, it runs for up to 40 minutes on a single charge. The 150W motor provides reliable suction for everyday cleaning, while the motorised floor head with LED lights makes it easier to see dust under furniture and along skirting boards. It also converts into a handheld vacuum in seconds, which comes in handy for stairs, upholstery and even the car.

At just 2.15kg, it's light enough to carry around the house without feeling cumbersome. The 0.8L dust container empties easily, and the washable HEPA filter helps keep maintenance simple.

If you're after a lightweight cordless vacuum but aren't sure which model is worth buying, we're always happy to answer your questions and point you in the right direction.
