Verdict

The Amazon Basics 18P0C-DC is a lightweight, 2-in-1 cordless stick and handheld vacuum cleaner powered by a 150W DC motor and featuring a 0.7-litre dust bin capacity. Its main characteristics include a motorized brush head suitable for both hard floors and carpets, alongside one-click mode transitions for versatile upholstery and car interior cleaning. The primary pros of this model are its highly portable, ergonomic design and a versatile Li-ion battery that delivers up to 40 minutes of runtime on its slow setting and 15 minutes on the normal setting. However, its notable cons include relatively limited suction compared to premium models and significantly reduced battery longevity when operating under heavier workloads.
