What this guide helps with
Cordless sticks excel at quick passes; uprights and canisters often carry stronger sustained suction for carpet. Robots maintain open floors but rarely replace stairs and upholstery work. Bagged paths help some allergy routines; bagless saves bag cost with more dust dump exposure.
