Masterpart 2 in 1 Stair Tool & Dusting Brush For Shark Lift-Away & Rotator Vacuum Cleaners

Product Information

This is a lightweight vacuum that’s quite easy to lift, and the steerable head absolutely comes in handy. It comes with several attachments that all prove useful and are simple to switch out (although there’s unfortunately no room for the attachments to live on-board). Additionally, we really enjoyed the boost mode, which provided extra power, as well as the long battery life and ability to change into a handheld vacuum when needed. Evaluate Dirt Build-Up: If your stairs tend to accumulate heavy dirt or pet hair, consider attachments with powerful suction capabilities like the stair tool or crevice tool that can effectively lift and remove debris.

It depends on how much you use them. Stairs tend to get a lot of footfall, so regular cleaning is a good idea. By this, we recommend once a week to stop grit, dirt, and dust from accumulating. This vacuum transitions from hardwood to carpet with ease, and attachments like the built-in dusting and crevice tool come in handy time and time again. Additionally, emptying out the dustbin when it’s full with its hygienic ejection mechanism is a breeze. On the downside, it is a pretty heavy device at a little over 7 pounds, and you may need both hands to hold it up properly as you work. Still, there’s plenty about this vacuum that makes it a great choice. While the vacuum conveniently turns into a removable hand vac as needed, it doesn’t come with any attachments, so it’s not the best gadget for pet hair or upholstery cleaning. It’s also very loud, which we understand can be bothersome. But if you’re looking for a low-cost vacuum that’s especially good for small spaces, then this is absolutely a solid choice. Brush your carpet by hand before vacuuming to free any dirt and dust that is lodged within the fibres.Mileage will vary for all household appliances depending on how much you use them and how well you maintain them. “You want your vacuum to last longer than five years,” says Jankowski. He suggests looking for features that will help you maintain it more easily, like an automatic detangler, which he says is a must-have for pet owners. “This will help you avoid belt damage from pet hair being caught in the rollers,” he explains. This article was written by Rachel Simon, a writer for Real Simple, Better Homes & Gardens, The New York Times, and many other publications. We tested many vacuums on stairs and evaluated them on effectiveness, ease, portability, and more. For expert insight, we spoke to Whitney White, Airbnb cleaning specialist. We have tested nearly 300 different vacuums, both in our Lab and in our homes. When testing upright vacuums specifically, we evaluated each model based on its effectiveness on various floor types and upholstery, along with maneuverability, noise level, simplicity of setup, ease of emptying of the dust bin, and overall value. Overall, easily the best vacuum for dealing with stairs. Cleans on carpet, hard floor and can deal with pet hair plus it can do the rest of the house too.

Additionally, vacuum hoses are usually quite short, so you need to carry the vacuum up and down stairs to get rid of all dirt and dust. Plus it’s impossible to clean the vertical part of steps using an upright’s floor tool. For hard floor stairs, avoid a brush bar as this can scratch the surface. Instead, use a hard floor attachment or soft dusting brush. It’s much easier if the hose is long enough to reach all the way, but the compromise is often reduced suction power. Tips For Vacuuming Stairs With an Upright For carpeted stairs, use a tool with a brush bar, such as a mini turbo tool. The rotating brush can agitate carpet fibres and remove more dirt.The first thing to remember is that the type of floor affects the best stair vacuum. If you have carpeted stairs, you’ll need a powered brush bar to dig deep into the fibres. This is especially important if you have pets. Finally, after every few uses don’t forget to clean your attachments too! Rinse them under warm water (but make sure they’re totally dry before using again) so they can continue working effectively.
