Which should you buy?
The Pure One Station 5 is the clear pick on raw spec strength, leading by 14.5 points on the Mars Score. The margin is wide enough that the underdog only makes sense if its individual strengths line up with what you specifically need.
The VortexIQ 50 doesn't pull ahead on any single popular-comparison spec — its strengths sit in the spec table groups rather than the headline advantages.
Pick the Pure One Station 5 if you carry the device everywhere and weight or thickness has been the deciding factor before. Its strongest claims are suction (aw), battery, weight.
Both ship with comparable dustbin, cordless, so those specs don't separate the two — focus on the differences below.
Bottom line: the Pure One Station 5 is the safer default. The other model is the right choice only when its specific advantages line up with your priorities.
