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

#5 -- Living & Co SL595B Cordless Stick Vac

Score: 59
Price: $125
Retailer: The Warehouse

Slightly better than the Kmart vacs---but not enough to recommend.

It's loud, poorly designed, and, you guessed it, has a non-replaceable battery. Once the battery dies, it's landfill material. Again.

If your goal is to clean your floors and your conscience, this vacuum does neither.
