BUTY BULU Cordless Stick Vacuum

Hard floors are its strength. Hardwood, tile and thin rugs come out clean, but the BUTY BULU struggles on thicker carpet, and plush pile is where it falls short most. Some carpeted homes still get good dirt and hair pickup, so low-pile carpet is a fair test of what it can do.

Usually not. The rating is up to 40 minutes from six 2200mAh cells, yet a single charge often covers about one room. Only a few find the BUTY BULU outlasts their expectations. Recharging takes a long time, and in some units the battery stops holding a charge after a few months.

It's a gamble. Plenty of units keep working after months of daily cleaning, but others quit or lose suction within the first year, some within the first month. That spread is wide enough to test the BUTY BULU hard while any return window is still open.

Sometimes. Pet hair pickup is good overall, with cats and dogs alike, but a couple of reports mention hair catching in the wheels or around the brush. A small cutting tool comes in the BUTY BULU box for slicing hair off the roller.

Yes. At 3.8 lb the BUTY BULU is light enough to carry up and down stairs, and small enough to store in a closet or a bathroom corner. The motorized floor brush has LED lights, and a dusting brush and crevice tool cover furniture and corners.

With one click, so the dirt goes into the trash without handling it. The filter stack (cyclone, mesh, sponge and dual HEPA filters) comes out for cleaning.
