Cordless Stick Vacuum: Uncompromising Power Meets Freedom? Our Review of the V12

Tired of hauling out the old, noisy, and bulky cylinder vacuum for a simple cleaning task? Do you dream of quick and efficient cleaning without playing hide-and-seek with power outlets? The cordless stick vacuum is the solution. But the market is vast: between expensive Dyson vacuums, Rowenta models, and budget options, how do you choose an appliance that combines freedom, power, and battery life without breaking the bank?

This is precisely the challenge taken up by the Vactidy Blitz V12 (marketed as the Vexilar V12 in some international markets). This new-generation cordless vacuum promises to combine the performance of a corded vacuum with the flexibility of cordless operation. But does it deliver on its promises? That's what we're going to find out.

Why Choose a Cordless Stick Vacuum? The Undeniable Advantages

The cordless stick vacuum is not just a gimmick. It has revolutionized the way we clean:

• Total freedom of movement: No cord to drag around, no outlet to search for. It's perfect for quickly moving from the kitchen to the living room, or even for use as a cordless car vacuum.

• Lightweight and maneuverable: Much lighter than a cylinder vacuum, it's easy to store in a small closet and carry upstairs.

• Ideal for daily cleaning: Perfect for small tasks, pet hair messes, or crumbs on hard floors (hardwood, tile).

However, budget models often fall short on three points: suction power, battery life, and build quality. It is on these points that the Vexilar V12 aims to make a difference.

Vexilar V12: Our Review After Testing

The Vexilar V12 positions itself as a serious alternative to big brands. Here's what we think.

1. Surprisingly Powerful Suction

The crucial question for a cordless vacuum is: "Does it actually pick up dirt well?" With the V12, the answer is yes. Its modern motor generates a very respectable 50000Pa suction power, capable of handling dog hair embedded in carpets or crumbs on rugs. It easily rivals many entry-level corded vacuums.

2. Battery Life That Delivers on Its Promise

With up to 50 minutes of runtime in standard mode, the V12 easily meets the needs for a quick and efficient cleaning session in an apartment or medium-sized house. You won't have to interrupt your cleaning to recharge it. This is a major advantage over some cheap cordless stick vacuums that struggle to exceed 20 minutes.

3. Versatile and Practical

The V12 comes with several brushes and accessories, making it a complete tool:

• A motorized brush head for carpets and rugs.

• A soft roller brush for hard floors that won't scratch them.

• An extension tube and a crevice tool for hard-to-reach places (under furniture, corners...).

• Its bagless system is economical and easy to empty.

4. An Ergonomic Design

Lightweight and well-balanced, it's easy to use, even for elderly users. Its brush head swivels 180°, allowing you to clean under furniture effortlessly.

V12 vs. The Competition: Who Is It For?

• Vs. High-end cordless stick vacuums (Dyson, Rowenta): The V12 offers very similar performance at a often much more accessible price. It's an excellent alternative if your budget is limited.

• Vs. Budget vacuums (Lidl Parkside, etc.): It stands out with superior suction power and battery life, as well as better build quality. It's a more cost-effective investment in the long run.

The Verdict: The Vexilar V12 is for you if you're looking for a powerful, reliable, and versatile cordless stick vacuum without paying the premium for big brands. It's perfect for daily use in an apartment or house, especially if you have pets.

Conclusion: A Cordless Vacuum with Muscle

The Vexilar V12 rises to the challenge brilliantly. It proves that a cordless stick vacuum can be powerful, long-lasting, and affordable. While it might not replace an ultra-powerful cylinder vacuum for the annual deep cleaning of thick-pile carpeting, it becomes the essential tool for 99% of daily cleaning tasks.
