You can drill into the following article for in-depth recommendations on each sub-category. In the list, here’s a selected top pick for your handy help.
SAMSUNG Jet 90 Complete Cordless Stick Vacuum
Use it on low for area rugs, medium for bare floors and max for deeper pile carpets. It even cleans lightweight throw rugs and mat. The Samsung also comes with a free-standing charging base that can be tucked into any corner for out-of-the-way storage. The package includes a fluffy brush roll head for wood floors, a small turbo tool for upholstery and mattresses and a flexible attachment for greater reach in addition to the usual crevice tool and dusting brush. The wand telescopes, with the dust cup and filter is easy to empty and clean.
IROBOT Roomba s9+ Robot Vacuum
It can map and remember multiple rooms and floor plans and it beat all other robot vacuums for quickly and effectively spot cleaning a small area. It detects carpet automatically to ramp up suction only when needed, and its dual rubber roller brushes won’t clog with pet hair like bristles have a tendency to do. When it’s finished cleaning, the vacuum returns to its charging base, and dirt is automatically transferred into a large-capacity bag for mess-free disposal.
WORX 20V Cordless Cube Compact Vacuum Cleaner
Not your typical handheld vac, the Worx model has a unique compact, boxy shape, removable battery that fits into other Worx tools and a top handle. Its crevice and brush tools store right on it, and a built-in flexible hose reaches four feet. The model can easily pick up all the debris and pet hair, even without using the max power setting. The hose makes it easy to reach into tight spaces, and it can run for 23 minutes at standard power on one charge. Although it’s a little heavier than other handheld vacuums, you don’t need to hold it up to use it.
ROBOROCK S7 Robot Vacuum and Mop Cleaner
Robots that vacuum and mop are all the rage, but the Roborock S7 stood out for how thoroughly it covered our test areas — barely missing a speck of the debris we put down and navigating smoothly around obstacles we placed in its path. It’s fully featured and easy to use. The smartphone app was helpful and easy to navigate. In mopping mode, the Roborock uses sound waves to scrub stuck-on stains from bare floors, and the pad automatically lifts when it senses carpet to keep from wetting it as it vacuums. Features like a child lock and cleaning controls are easily accessible on the robot’s top, and it even responds to voice commands.
BISSELL APEX Upright Vacuum Cleaner
If you prefer bagless vacuums, but still want a model that filters out tiny particles, the Shark APEX is a great option. It has very good cleaning performance on both carpeting and bare floors. It is one of the quietest models. Because it converts from an upright to a canister with the press of a button, tackling stairs and nabbing pesky dust bunnies lurking in corners or hiding behind furniture is easy to do without missing a step. The entire vacuum is sealed for better dust retention and that the HEPA filter, unlike others that need replacing, is washable. Pet owners will appreciate the brush roll that’s designed to minimize messy hair tangles.
BISSELL AirRam Cordless Stick Vacuum Cleaner
This GH Seal–holding cordless stick vacuum ran for a full 37 minutes. The handle lays flat on the ground (by rotating it at the base), which makes it easier to vacuum under furniture and in other tough-to-reach places. The dust cup is well-placed and easy to empty. Keep in mind that it doesn’t come with any attachments and isn’t able to be converted to a handheld vacuum, but for simplicity and performance.
BISSELL Pet Hair Eraser Turbo Plus Upright Vacuum Cleaner
The vacuum cleaner addresses all of pet owners’ greatest woes, and it comes fully loaded with features that’ll suck up every last bit of unwanted pet hair. A tangle-free brush roll keeps pet hair from clogging the bristles, and a hair spooling system inside the canister contains the mess so emptying is easier and cleaner. Its sealed allergen system traps fine particles, and the filter uses Febreze technology to eliminate those stale odors that vacuuming up pet hair can generate.
MIELE Complete C3 Vacuum for Soft Carpet
It’s equipped with a telescoping wand, a dusting brush, an upholstery tool and a crevice tool to tackle stairs, lamps shades, ceiling moldings and more. Even hard-to-clean plush carpets are no match for the power nozzle and brush roll that adjust to five different levels to make easy work of powering through dense rug or carpet pile to lift dirt, dust and pet hair. Allergy sufferers will love the high filtration bag and HEPA AirClean filter that prevent dust from being released back into the air. Miele vacuums do the best job of picking up and trapping dust and dirt.
DYSON V15 Detect Cordless Vacuum
Selected as one of the best stick vacuums, the V15 conquered dirt and microscopic dust. You will be impressed with the bare floor brush that beamed a laser on the floor to spot and pick up even the tiniest bits of debris that were otherwise invisible to us. The assortment of cleaning tools that accompany the vacuum as well as the clear LCD display that indicates battery life and real-time performance like particle pick up. Three powerful suction modes — eco, medium or auto, and boost — allow you to adjust the suction up or down to grab heavy dirt or protect delicate rugs as you move through your house. In auto mode, the vacuum senses whether it’s on bare floor or carpet and adjusts the power and runtime accordingly. It’s cordless and has a 60-minute run time, so the only reason you’ll need to stop cleaning is because the job is done!
