Car crumbs, sofa hair, dusty blinds: 10 reasons people keep this 2 in 1 vacuum in the glovebox and the kitchen drawer

1. The gas station vacuum takes your money and leaves the crumbs

You pull up to the machine, pay for a few minutes and race the timer with a hose as wide as your arm. Then it cuts out with half the back seat still covered in crackers.

The Stellora 2 in 1 lives in your glovebox instead. It is a cordless vacuum and a blower in one handheld body, about 1.2 lb and recharged with a USB cable, and it comes out the moment somebody spills.

2. Sofa crumbs and pet hair come out of the cushions

The sofa is the back seat of the house. Snacks fall into the gap between the cushions, and the dog leaves a layer of hair on the arm every evening.

The crevice nozzle goes down the gap where the big vacuum's head never fits, and the brush head loosens the hair from the fabric so the suction can pull it into the clear bin. Two minutes, and nobody had to move the furniture.

3. Flip it to blower mode and the vents finally come clean

The vents are the part of the car nobody cleans, because nothing cleans them. A vacuum pulls at the surface, and the dust is packed in behind the slats.

Take the bin off, put the blower nozzle on, and the Stellora pushes air out instead of pulling it in. Dust comes out of the vents, the gear shift surround and the seat rails, and a minute later you vacuum it up with the same device.

4. The big vacuum stays in the closet for the small jobs

Coffee grounds by the machine, toast crumbs along the counter, the bits under the kitchen table. Dragging out the big vacuum for that turns a two minute job into a project, so it waits until the weekend.

The Stellora sits in a drawer and comes out with one hand. Hold the button, run the nozzle along the counter edge, click the bin open over the trash. Done before the kettle boils.

5. Dog hair comes off the back seat with the brush head

Anyone who drives a dog anywhere knows the back seat never really recovers. The hair works its way into the fabric, and a bare nozzle just skates over the top of it.

Put the brush head on and switch to super mode. The bristles loosen the hair from the weave, the stronger suction pulls it into the clear bin, and you can watch the seat come back as you go.

6. The stairs stop collecting dog hair in every corner

Stairs are where a full size vacuum is at its worst. You balance it on one step, the hose barely reaches the next, and the hair stays packed into the corners.

At 550 g the Stellora goes up the stairs with you. The brush head works the hair out of the carpet edge, the crevice nozzle gets the corner, and you move on to the next step.

7. It gets into the car seat and the gaps the big hose never reaches

The worst of the mess is never on the floor mat. It is in the buckles of the kid's car seat, in the gap between the seat and the console, down the seat rails and along the stitching.

The long thin nozzle and the crevice nozzle are made for exactly those places, and switching between attachments takes seconds, so you use the right tool instead of forcing the wrong one.

8. The blower dusts the blinds without a cloth

Wiping blinds slat by slat mostly moves the dust from one slat to the next. With the bin off and the blower cone on, the Stellora pushes the dust off the whole run in one sweep.

Then put the bin back and vacuum up what landed on the sill. The same trick works on keyboards, shelves and the leaves on the windshield.

9. Six attachments, no bags, and it packs into its own case

Plenty of vacuums keep charging you after you buy them, in bags and replacement filters. The Stellora has no bags at all. The dirt goes into a clear 400 mL bin, and the HEPA filter inside rinses under the tap.

Everything fits in the zip carry case: the device, all 6 attachments, a spare HEPA filter and the USB cable. Put a bow on it and the Christmas gift is done.

Buy 1 includes 2 HEPA filters. Buy 2 adds a 4x HEPA filter pack, free.

10. Tired of vacuums that quit? Try this one for 60 days

If you have bought a cheap vacuum or blower before and watched it give up, that is fair, and you are not alone. One reviewer wrote that they were sick of constantly buying low quality vacuum blowers before trying this one.

It has two modes: standard, which is quieter, for everyday dust, and super mode for stronger suction on mats and pet hair. The child lock means a tap does nothing; you hold the button for 3 seconds to switch it on.

Live with it for 60 days. If it ends up in a drawer, send it back for a full refund.
