Good deal – The Ultenic U16 Flex “5-star” stick vacuum cleaner at €179.99 (-10%)

It's been many years since the stick vacuum cleaner was anything new. Prices have therefore melted like snow in the sun and we can find very competitive models for less than €150, such as the surprising Ultenic U16 Flex.

The Ultenic U16 Flex reminds us that it's never smart to judge a book by its cover. While we were expecting a banal, even disreputable product, this model, with a somewhat misleading look regarding its real characteristics, has risen to the Pantheon of the best performance-price ratios in our comparison. And what’s more, brilliantly! Almost perfect filtration, high-end suction performance, easy to maintain, including a usable autonomy indicator: it's very simple, it has everything. Certainly, we would have liked a build quality perhaps a little higher, but Ultenic achieves a very big achievement here that will be difficult to surpass.

NB: The reported price drop is calculated by comparing the lowest price of the day with the average of the lowest prices charged by all merchants for the product last month, with security rules to exclude the prices of stores whose the VAT policy is not clear (so-called “gray” stores, typically in the case of imports from China).

An alternative

The Proscenic P11 Lite does not shine with its innovative technologies or bold design. It focuses on what a stick vacuum cleaner should offer by combining excellent suction performance with very low maintenance. Add to this a satisfactory autonomy and some interesting tips, such as the LED strip on the front and the telescopic tube, and you will obtain a product which, without being the most recommendable in our comparison, remains an excellent performance/price ratio.
