Verdict

The Akitas V10A is a lightweight, 2-in-1 cordless stick and handheld vacuum cleaner powered by a 30V 8-cell lithium-ion battery and a 3rd Generation 450W Brushless Digital Control (BLDC) motor that delivers up to 45,000 Pa of suction power. Key features include a motorized tangle-free turbo brush head equipped with green LED lights, a washable HEPA filtration system, and three power levels providing a runtime of up to 60 minutes in ECO mode, 25 minutes in normal mode, and 10 minutes in max mode. While its lightweight 2.15 kg design, low 68dB noise level, and included wall mount make it highly maneuverable and convenient for multi-surface cleaning, notable drawbacks include a long 4 to 5-hour recharge time and a heavily restricted 10-minute battery life when operating continuously on its maximum suction setting.
