NADALY N-V28 Cordless Stick Vacuum: motor, runtime and features explained

The NADALY N-V28 is a cordless stick vacuum for homes with carpet, hard floors and pet hair. It pairs a brushless motor with a touch screen, an automatic mode and a V-shaped brush meant to cope with tangled hair. Here is what each feature means in daily use.

The motor and suction

NADALY fits a 550W brushless motor and quotes 45 kPa of suction in maximum mode. Brushless motors in general run more efficiently and wear less than brushed ones, because there are no carbon brushes rubbing. Kilopascals measure suction pressure; a higher figure means a stronger pull, though actual cleaning also depends on the brush, the airflow and the floor. NADALY says it lifts dust, pet hair, crumbs and deeper dirt from carpets, hardwood and tile. There are three suction modes.

Auto mode and runtime

In auto mode, a dust sensor detects how much debris is on the floor and adjusts the suction to match. The point is to use full power only where needed, which also stretches the battery. NADALY rates the runtime at up to 65 minutes, at minimum suction. Maximum suction drains a battery much faster, as is the case with most cordless vacuums. NADALY adds that the battery has no memory effect and runs up to 40% longer than other vacuums.

Touch screen

The screen switches between manual and auto modes, adjusts suction and shows the remaining battery. It also displays reminders when the dust cup is full and when the brush roll is clogged, which saves you from guessing why performance has dropped.

Anti-tangle V-shaped brush

Long hair and pet fur tend to wrap around ordinary roller brushes. NADALY's V-shaped roller aims to reduce that. The floor head swivels from 0° to 180° side to side and 0° to 90° up and down, which helps in manoeuvring around furniture, and an LED headlight lights up dark corners and under beds.

Dust cup, storage and attachments

The dust cup holds 1.5 L, with one-button emptying so you avoid touching the dirt. A wall mount combines charging and storage. With the included accessories, the stick can be reconfigured as a handheld vacuum for stairs, upholstery and the car. The unit weighs about 5 lb, and NADALY describes it as lightweight.

What to check before you buy

• How long you typically clean for, and whether the 65-minute figure (at minimum suction) fits that.
• The floor types in your home, and the settings you would use for each.
• Wall space and a socket close to the mount.
• Which attachments are included and whether they suit stairs, sofas or the car.
• How easy it is to reach the brush roll for cleaning, and the filter care schedule in the manual.
• Whether replacement batteries and parts are available.
• Follow the charging instructions in the manual.
