The 2025 Stick Vacuum Blacklist: 5 Models You'll Regret Buying

#3 -- Anko Cordless Stick Cleaner EV-6803-S259

Score: 54
Price: $189
Retailer: Kmart

Nearly $190 for what? A vacuum that's hard to push, has a filter that falls out, and doesn't clean near walls? No thanks.

This model gave us the most usability headaches. And at this price point, that's just insulting. For a cleaner that tries to look high-end, the performance is bargain-bin.
