AGARO Supreme Cordless Stick Vacuum (₹9,999) offers the best value with 25 kPa suction, 60-minute battery life (low mode), and 2-in-1 convertibility. For budget-conscious buyers, AGARO Regency (₹6,599) is the most affordable option with decent 7 kPa suction and 33-minute runtime. Both include HEPA filters and work well for daily Indian home cleaning.

A:

Runtime varies by mode: Low/Eco mode: 30-60 minutes (sufficient for most Indian homes), Medium mode: 20-30 minutes, High/Turbo mode: 8-15 minutes (for deep cleaning only). For a typical 1000 sq ft home, 30-35 minutes is adequate to clean all rooms. Always start with low mode and switch to high for stubborn dirt to maximize battery life.

A:

Yes, with the right attachments. Motorized brush heads agitate carpet fibers for deep cleaning but can scatter debris on hard floors. Best practice: Use motorized brush for carpets, switch to hard floor nozzle for tiles/marble. Models with auto-adjust features (like Eureka Forbes Pro15) automatically optimize brush speed for each surface. For Indian homes with mixed flooring, ensure your vacuum includes both attachments.

A:

Suction power (kPa) measures actual cleaning effectiveness - how strong the vacuum pulls dirt. Higher kPa = better cleaning. Motor wattage (W) indicates power consumption and motor strength. However, higher wattage doesn't always mean better suction - modern BLDC motors deliver high suction at lower wattage. Focus on kPa rating (aim for 15+ kPa) rather than just wattage when comparing models.

A:

Essential maintenance tips: 1) Empty dustbin after every use to maintain suction, 2) Clean/wash HEPA filter monthly (if washable), 3) Remove tangled hair from brush roll weekly, 4) Charge battery fully before first use, 5) Store in cool, dry place (avoid extreme heat), 6) Don't run vacuum with full dustbin - damages motor, 7) Replace filters every 6-12 months. Proper maintenance extends life to 4-5 years.

A:

Yes, excellent for pet hair. Choose models with motorized brush heads and suction power 20+ kPa (like KENT Zoom Turbo or AGARO Supreme). Motorized brushes agitate and lift embedded pet hair from carpets and upholstery. HEPA filters capture pet dander and allergens. Clean brush roll weekly to prevent hair tangles. For heavy pet shedding, consider models with removable, washable brush rolls for easier maintenance.

A:

Annual costs breakdown: Electricity: ₹200-400 (very low power consumption), Filter replacements: ₹1000-2500 (every 6-12 months, or ₹0 if washable), Battery replacement: ₹2000-5000 (every 2-3 years). Total annual cost: ₹1500-3000. Washable HEPA filters save ₹1500-2000 annually. Budget brands (AGARO, KENT) have cheaper replacement parts than premium brands (Dyson, Eureka Forbes premium range).

A:

Buy cordless if: You have multi-level home/stairs, need to clean cars, want easy storage, have good electrical outlet distribution. Buy corded if: You have very large home (>2000 sq ft), need unlimited runtime, want maximum suction power, prefer lower cost. For typical Indian apartments (1000-1500 sq ft), cordless offers better convenience. For large independent houses, consider both or opt for high-capacity cordless models (50+ min runtime).

A:

Best service networks: Eureka Forbes (nationwide presence, established network), KENT (good coverage in metros and tier-2 cities), AGARO (growing network, good online support). Most cordless vacuum issues are filter-related rather than mechanical, so online spare part availability matters more than physical service centers. Always verify filter availability on Amazon/Flipkart before purchase. Buy from brands with 1-2 year warranty and responsive customer support.
