Stick vacuums are all the rage right now, but many cost upwards of $500 — which is a lot of money, particularly in a cost-of-living crisis.
This is perhaps one of the reasons an affordable stick vacuum sold on Amazon is going viral.
The Akitas V8 3-in-1 Cordless Upright Handheld Stick Vacuum usually costs $129.99, but for a limited time only shoppers can pick it up for just $110.49.

The vac also weighs just 2.4 kilograms, which is very light if you need to lug it around a larger space.
Its cordless design makes the gadget super flexible and it’s energy-efficient with both eco mode and max mode.
It even has a little LED light much like a Dyson so you can see where you’re cleaning.
Others love the 2-in-1 Crevice Nozzle, which is slim in design with an angled tip, perfect for cleaning corners and crevices.

Those who have bought the vacuum have raved about it, and there are many five-star reviews.
“Great vacuum,” one shopper wrote.
“Ideal for our apartment and well worth the money. Works great to vacuum dog hair on shaggy carpet, little less so on low-pile carpet. The lights are really helpful and the battery life is decent too. Absolutely worth the money and would recommend.”
Another added: “Very pleased.
“This thing is awesome. The battery lasts for ages, the suction is great and the light on the floor attachment makes finding all dirty easy and it works a treat with low lighting.”
While a third said: “Great little vacuum, lightweight and strong suction. Cannot fault, well price and would buy again and/or recommend highly”.
