The vacuum cleaner world is dominated by bagless options, and it’s long been thought that bagged offerings are the older, less-cool versions of these modern (often cordless) machines. But when the Halo Capsule X burst onto the scene in 2020, the brand flipped the script to bring a cool, unique, and cordless bagged vacuum to the market. And while it has style, I wanted to test whether it also has substance.
Throughout my career, I’ve tested some of the best vacuum cleaners on the market and come to realise that the best cordless vacuum cleaners are more my style. The ease of movement is second to none and practicality is at the forefront of their design. However, the Halo Capsule X is different to anything I have ever tested before. Aiming to merge the ease of a cordless with the practicality and dust-free nature of a bagged vacuum cleaner, it has the potential to fill a gap I didn’t realise was there.
