Vacuum cleaners are dime a dozen these days. Some are available in robotic form, others are handheld models. With the market so saturated for vacuum cleaners, we rarely see a new brand carve a niche for itself. That is not the case with French startup Deglace, which aims for success with Fraction, which it claims to be the “world’s first fully modular vacuum cleaner,” currently being displayed at CES 2026.
The Fraction cordless stick vacuum cleaner from French startup Deglace has already proven its appeal, smashing funding records during a highly successful Kickstarter campaign. Now, the innovative device, touted as the world’s first fully modular vacuum cleaner, is taking center stage at CES 2026, where Deglace is presenting its groundbreaking repairable and upgradable design to a global tech audience.
The stick vacuum boasts a 100-percent modular design. This implies that the base unit, motor, powerhead, tube, brushes, flat nozzle, as well as the wall-mounted charging dock, are all repairable and upgradable. “The user can swap out components like the motor, battery, cyclone, filters, or brush head as needed, and upgrade the motor for more power or add batteries for extended runtime,” the company informs.
Aside from modular design, the Fraction vacuum cleaner excels with its flawless functionality. The device features a dual HEPA 14 filtration system, capturing 99.97 percent of allergens, pet dander, and dust. In addition to the HEPA filtration system, it includes a built-in UVC light that neutralizes bacteria, viruses, and dust mites upon contact.
The “Neural Predictive AI” system also provides real-time monitoring of airflow, motor, battery health, and filters to detect issues before they happen. The system sends alerts via a 1.28-inch circular HD OLED screen placed on the vacuum cleaner. According to the company, the vacuum cleaner provides 80 minutes of runtime on a single charge, with swappable batteries, allowing double or triple cleaning time.
The device is powered by a 200-watt brushless motor that offers twice the suction of standard uprights. The modular vacuum cleaner boasts 250 Air Watts of suction, surpassing the Dyson V15 Detect; however falls short in comparison to the Samsung Bespoke AI Jet Ultra. The vacuum cleaner features three adjustable suction modes (Eco, Normal, Power) and relies on “Neural Predictive AI” tech that optimizes suction based on floor type and resistance, saving energy.
The body of the vacuum cleaner is crafted from aerospace-grade 6061 aluminum and comes in black or white finishes. The full kit includes a base unit, powerhead, crevice tool, dusting brush, soft brush, hard brush, mini brush, flat nozzle, and wall-mounted charging dock. Not to mention, a Deglace app (iOS/Android) for easy part replacements and warranty support. Interested individuals can place orders on the Deglace official website. During the Kickstarter run, the Fraction modular vacuum was priced at $500; we are not sure if that would be the case post-CES as well.
