There’s just something about having easy access to chores that makes those chores feel… well, easy, and more importantly, not like chores. Just the thought of approaching the dreaded vacuum cupboard and untangling the too-short cord is enough to fill anyone with dread, and rightly so. Enter Xiaomi’s cordless Stick Vacuums, a game-changer for the market.
The words ‘stick vacuum’ may put you in mind of the ultra-premium and overly expensive models out there, but Xiaomi is different. The range retains the company’s excellent quality but keeps the price affordable for the South African market. Whether it’s the lightweight G20 Lite or the heavy-duty G20 Max, there’s something for everybody with Xiaomi.
You’ve got the right end of the stick
Taking that sentiment to the extreme comes the Xiaomi G20 Lite, a lightweight and affordable solution that’s aimed at South Africa’s newcomers to the workforce, with a highly sufficient battery that’ll make quick work of a smaller space in a single go.
Able to tackle any surface without ever changing the brush head, the G20 Lite also makes use of a 2-in-1 brush nozzle that helps the vacuum reach even the hardest-to-reach nooks. And without a cable bogging you down, there’s no need to continuously unplug and plug the device into the nearest outlet. It may not seem like much, but removing hassles ultimately saves time and leads to an overall cleaner space.
If you’re worried about Xiaomi’s more affordable model – which is available for R2,499 RRP – not being up to the job of a particularly messy home, fear not. The G20 Lite makes use of an incredibly powerful 18,000pa suction system, making it an ideal solution for all kinds of dirt and even the nastiest clumps of hair.
It’s not just suction that makes the difference. Xiaomi includes a state-of-the-art five-stage deep filtration system, locking in 99.9% of anything it faces, not only ensuring a cleaner floor, but fresher air as well. With LED headlights on the front, users can better identify the particles escaping the vacuum’s wrath, whether it be on the floor or curtains.
Better yet, the G20 Lite requires minimal maintenance, with a simple button-tap emptying out the collected mess in one fluid motion. And with an included wall mount charger handy, Xiaomi reaffirms the notion that regular, easy access leads to an overall cleaner home.
Taking home-cleaning solutions to the Max
Right on the other end of the spectrum, you’ve got Xiaomi’s superb G20 Max, the ultimate cleaning experience, taking on larger homes without breaking a sweat. Part of that is down to the G20 Max’s excellent 180AW (Air Watts) of power at its disposal, coupled with a 12-cone dust-air separation system, which helps your vacuum prevent clogging and ensures fewer repairs. Xiaomi has built its collection of stick vacuums to last, and here’s the proof.
With a 600ml dust compartment at hand, and more battery than you’ll ever need, able to tackle even the largest homes, you’ll rarely be waiting on the G20 Max. Instead, it’ll be waiting on you, just awaiting the call to action. When summoned, it’ll put the filtration system to good use, trapping particles as small as 0.3μm (micrometres).
Of course, the G20’s best feature is its practicality. Like the rest of the family, it’s entirely cordless, allowing users to clean the curtains, couches, and with the help of the special dedicated brush, their pets, too. With gentle rounded comb pins leading the charge, you can give your animals a hassle-free once-over without the worry of harming them, ensuring they’re always looking spiffy.
With heavy-duty tasks in mind, the G20 Max’s premium build quality reflects Xiaomi’s dedication to providing a stellar product – and beating out the competition – at a price you can comfortably afford. Similar products from other brands might have you convinced Xiaomi’s top-of-the-line efforts would set you back five figures, but that’s not the case. The Xiaomi G20 Max can be had for as little as R6,899.
As homes slowly become smarter, Xiaomi’s Stick Vacuum range is the perfect solution for anyone looking to take their home’s maintenance a little more seriously, without first breaking the bank. So, what are you waiting for? The Xiaomi Stick Vacuum collection can be picked up from Takealot and Yuppiechef now.
