Hinged Vacuum Cleaners

The 'Bolt Ion Stick Vacuum' Can Fold to Fit Under Tight Spaces

— August 18, 2016 — Lifestyle
Traditional push vacuums have seen many technological advancements over the decades, but the Bolt Ion Stick vacuum from Bissell may very well be the most versatile cleaning machine yet. The slim and lightweight vacuum comes with a hinge just past the dust cartridge, allowing it to fold up for convenient storage and making it easier to vacuum under hard-to-reach pieces of furniture.

While folding up for storage is certainly a plus, the fact that the Bolt Ion Stick vacuum can still provide suction while making use of the hinge is its main draw. With the ergonomic design, consumers no longer need to get down or their hands and knees to vacuum under coffee tables or couches. The vacuum cleaner will ultimately save time and effort for households everywhere.

Industry Implications
