Full Analysis Summary
Stick vs canister vacuums
Le Monde states that the products in this guide were selected and tested independently by experienced journalists and that Le Monde receives a commission when a reader makes a purchase online.
The article says stick vacuums often match canister vacuums for everyday cleaning while offering superior maneuverability, integrated batteries and easier storage.
It warns that a canister vacuum will prove more effective for deep-cleaning thick carpets or for cleaning the floors of a large house all at once.
The article gives a price range for stick vacuums from €170 for entry-level models from major brands to over €1,000.
It advises that many buyers keep a canister for occasional deep-cleaning sessions.
Dyson V15 review and comparison
The article names the Dyson V15 Detect Absolute as the favorite and reports that at the time of publication the price was €799.
It says the V15 "offers the best performance/price ratio in the manufacturer’s range," and runs for more than an hour in eco mode.
It uses multicyclonic filtration with a single easy-to-clean filter and includes a dust-ejection emptying system.
It has a hard-floor brush equipped with a laser to highlight fine dust.
The article states the Dyson V15 Detect wins narrowly against the Samsung Jet 95 Complete VS20C95E4TB because of a more enduring battery and easier maintenance.
The article notes the Samsung is "just as capable and even a bit more comfortable in handheld configuration."
Hoover HF9 overview
The article highlights the Hoover HF9 as a mid-range pick and reports a price of €394 at the time of publication.
It describes Hoover’s pragmatic design choices, noting the HF9 stands upright on its own and provides a precise display of remaining battery life.
The HF9 comes with a full set of accessories and Hoover supplies two batteries.
With the turbo function not activated, the device can clean carpets and hard floors for almost an hour in total.
The article emphasizes the HF9’s automatic power readjustment when accessories are removed and cites its fairly substantial weight as the main drawback.
Dreame R10 overview
The article recommends the Dreame R10 as its entry-level pick at €179 and describes it as affordable, maneuverable and not too heavy, with good suction performance for its class thanks to a well-designed motorized brush.
It says the Dreame R10 is more rudimentary than high-end models and that its runtime is about half that of the Dyson V15.
The manufacturer's claim of 'up to 60 minutes' drops to 25 minutes when the main brush is fitted at medium power, according to the article.
The article explains the general trade-offs of stick vacuums—battery runtime limits, lower absolute suction than mains-powered appliances, and poorer suitability for very long-pile or fringed rugs.
It notes that whether a stick can replace a canister depends on user demand, flooring type and the runtime needed for a given home.
The article text ends mid-sentence after beginning a historical remark about the Dyson V6, so that historical point is incomplete in the source.
