Sharp EC-PT1 Stick Vacuum

Moving away from your parents' place and living alone is a big deal in Japan, as it is anywhere else in the world, for psychological as much as for practical reasons. Especially in Tokyo, one of those reasons is the size of the apartments (i.e., very small) that makes them congested and difficult to keep clean. This is where the Sharp EC-PT1 Stick Vacuum shines: you won't find a better a more effective and practical vacuum cleaner for a small apartment!

It all goes down to the ratio between power and size: the Sharp EC-PT1 Stick Vacuum uses a centrifugal cyclone system that operates on two modes (standard and strong) and which in the 10-25 minutes a full charge lasts, collects all the dust from your place in its 0.13-liter bagless container. And houses it in a 208 x 230 x 900 mm (8.2 x 9 x 35.4") unit that can shrink down to a mere 89 x 187 x 370 mm (3.5 x 7.4 x 14.6") when in handheld mode. And because you also care about style, the stick vacuum comes in two colors: ash gray and ash pink!
