Better Homes & Gardens selected the Simplicity S60 Spiffy as the "Best Budget" vacuum. They evaluated a number of vacuums for portability, ease of use, weight, design and other factors. Here's what they found. 

BHG found that the Spiffy worked better on hard floors than their battery-powered stick vacuum. It had stronger suction. And that's exactly why we designed it as a corded stick. Drawing power directly from an outlet, the Spiffy can power through messes better than a battery stick vacuum.

Better Homes & Gardens tested the Spiffy on dirt and shredded paper, among other types, and found it very effective.  It pulls crumbs and debris from cracks and crevices. It excels on hard floors like wood, laminate, or tile. 

With its combinatoin of maneuverability, performance, and low price point, the Spiffy is a great choice for those with hard floors, or with mobility challenges. It's easy to use and maintain. Perfect as a holiday gift!
