Verdict

The Akitas 600W (Model S12) is a corded 2-in-1 bagless stick and handheld vacuum cleaner featuring a 600-watt digital motor that generates a strong 17 kPa suction power. Weighing just 2 kg to 2.8 kg, this lightweight appliance is equipped with a 0.5L to 0.8L dust capacity tank, a true cyclonic HEPA filtration system with a washable filter, a 5-meter power cord, and a patented German Wessel Werk 2-in-1 floor brush head. Key advantages include its exceptional maneuverability, dual-speed configurations, efficient multi-surface performance on both carpets and hard floors, and integrated LED floor headlights for visibility under furniture. On the downside, the vacuum lacks an automatic cord rewind feature, requiring the cord to be wrapped manually, and some users have noted it can be difficult to empty when full.
