Stick vacuums are small, lightweight, and powerful. They are convenient for quick pick-ups, and can maneuver into tight places that regular vacuums can't fit into. Most models can also be used in other places such as under beds, tables and furniture (almost anywhere your full sized vacuum can't get to). Most people use these machines for their kitchen floors because their regular vacuums are too heavy and ineffective on floor surfaces that aren't carpeted.
