Best Vacuum Cleaner For Cleaning Carpeted Stairs
by: Chris from GoVacuum

If you are looking for a good vacuum for only cleaning carpeted stairs, I would recommend getting a electrical (not battery operated) hand vacuum cleaner with a roller brush.

Really the best hand vacuum that we carry for vacuuming carpeted stairs is the Dirt Devil M0105 Purpose for Pets Hand Vac.

Even if you don't have pets in your home, the Dirt Devil M0105 Hand Vac is great for cleaning carpeted stairs, as well as upholstered furniture, and even your car seats! What sets this Dirt Devil apart from most other hand vacuums on the market is the powerful motorized brush roller.

Most other hand vacuums on the market just use suction to clean, which will not clean near as well on carpeted stairs then one with a motorized roller brush. The roller brush actually agitates the carpet to loosen the embedded dirt, debris, or pet hair, then the vacuum motor vacuums it up.

Another benefit of having a motorized head on this hand vacuum is that it will help in restoring the nap of the carpet on your stairs.

Stairs are typically the highest traffic area in your home. The agitation of the motorized brush roller helps restore the nap of the carpet on your stairs, and also deep cleans deep embedded dirt.

The Dirt Devil M0105 also includes a five-piece tool set contains a crevice tool, an extension wand, a dusting brush, a 24-inch flexible hose, and a special pet-hair upholstery brush. These added tools allow you to clean the corners and crevices of the stair case as well.

With a 20 foot cord, you can easily vacuum the entire stair case without having to unplug the vacuum in the middle of your stairs. The only negative things I can say about this vacuum is that it's a little loud, and the bagless cup is kind of cumbersome to empty.

I highly recommend this vacuum to anyone that has carpeted stairs, and especially anyone with carpeted stairs and pet hair to deal with. Stairs are never fun to vacuum (probably the least vacuumed area of my home!), but with a small, lightweight, easy to use hand vacuum like the Dirt Devil M0105, it makes the task a lot more manageable.

As with every purchase from GoVacuum, you will always get a 60 day in-home trial period with all purchases. This allows you try the vacuum out in your home, on your on stairs. If you're not 100% completely satisfied with the purchase, simply return it to GoVacuum within 60 days and receive a 100% full refund, no restocking fees or shipping charges will be deducted.
