Wirecutter Vacuum: The Best Picks for Every Home in 2025

So, you’re on the hunt for a new vacuum, and maybe you’ve heard the buzz about Wirecutter’s picks. Finding the right vacuum can feel like a real chore, right? There are so many options out there, from stick vacuums that zip around your house to robot vacuums that do the work for you. We’ve sifted through a ton of them to find the best wirecutter vacuum models that actually get the job done, whether you’re dealing with pet hair, dust bunnies, or just the everyday mess. Let’s dive into what makes these vacuums stand out for 2025.

Key Takeaways

• The Dyson V12 Detect Slim is praised for its lightweight design and strong suction, making it a top choice for maneuverability and power.
• For pet owners, the Tineco Go Pet Cordless Stick Vacuum is a budget-friendly option that handles fur effectively.
• Robot vacuums like the Roborock Q5 Max+ are great for daily upkeep, especially in homes with pets or kids, but they don’t replace a main vacuum.
• Upright vacuums, like the SEBO Felix Premium, remain a solid choice for deep cleaning and are often favored by those with allergies due to their bag filtration systems.
• Mop-vacuum combos, such as the Bissell CrossWave Edge, offer a two-in-one solution for homes with sealed hard floors that frequently get messy.

Dyson V12 Detect Slim

The Dyson V12 Detect Slim is a really interesting stick vacuum, and honestly, it’s pretty good at what it does. It sucks up dirt and dust like a champ, especially on hard floors. I was pretty impressed with how it handled everything from fine dust to larger bits of debris in my tests. The laser on the cleaner head is actually useful, not just a gimmick, for spotting dust bunnies in dimly lit areas. It’s also pretty lightweight, which makes it easy to carry around and use for quick cleanups.

What’s Good About It

• Powerful Suction: This thing really pulls in dirt. It did a great job on both my hardwood floors and my area rugs, picking up almost everything I threw at it. It even managed to get most of the pet hair out of the rugs, which is always a win.
• Laser Dust Detection: The "Laser Slim Fluffy" cleaner head has a light that shines on the floor, making dust visible. It’s kind of cool and definitely helps you see where you need to clean.
• Versatile Attachments: It comes with a few different tools, including a mini motorized brush that’s fantastic for furniture and car interiors. It easily converts into a handheld, which is handy for stairs or the car.
• Auto Mode: The vacuum has an auto mode that adjusts suction power based on how dirty the floor is. It seemed to work well, kicking into higher power when it sensed more dirt.

What Could Be Better

• Tiny Dustbin: This is probably my biggest gripe. The dustbin is really small, and I found myself emptying it quite often, especially when cleaning a larger area or dealing with pet hair. It also tends to get clogged a bit, so you sometimes have to reach in to clear it.
• Doesn’t Stand Up: You can’t just lean it against a wall and expect it to stay put. If you need to stop vacuuming for a moment, you have to find somewhere to prop it up, which can be a bit annoying.
• Brush Roll Issues: While the Motorbar cleaner head is good, it struggled a bit with very long hair wrapping around the brush. Also, you can’t turn off the brush roll, which can be a problem on some delicate rugs where it might be too aggressive.
• Switching Heads: Sometimes, swapping between the different cleaner heads can be a little tricky. The click-in mechanism can get stuck, which is frustrating when you just want to do a quick clean.

Other Dyson Models to Consider

If the V12 Detect Slim isn’t quite hitting the mark for you, Dyson does have other options. The Gen5detect is a step up with a longer runtime and a bigger dustbin, but it’s also heavier and a bit less comfortable to use. The V15 Detect has an even larger dustbin and more power, but again, it’s a bigger machine. For a more budget-friendly option, the V8 Absolute is still a solid performer, though less powerful than the V12. If you’re looking for something that cleans just as well but might be more budget-friendly, you might want to check out the Shark PowerDetect Cordless Stick Vacuum.

Overall, the Dyson V12 Detect Slim is a capable vacuum, especially if you prioritize a lightweight design and the laser dust detection feature. Just be prepared for frequent dustbin emptying and the inability to stand it up on its own.

Shark PowerDetect Cordless Stick Vacuum

The Shark PowerDetect Cordless Stick Vacuum is a solid choice if you’re looking for a versatile cleaner that can handle a variety of messes. It really shines with its ability to adapt to different floor types, automatically adjusting its power when it senses carpet or debris. This makes switching between rooms a breeze, and you don’t have to fiddle with settings. It’s not the lightest stick vac out there, but it’s definitely manageable and a good bit lighter than some of the bulkier options we tested.

One of the standout features is the wand’s adjustable angle. You can fold it into a right angle, which is super handy for getting under furniture like couches or beds without having to bend over too much. It also converts into a handheld vacuum, which is great for cleaning up stairs or your car. The included tools are pretty decent, too. There’s a combination tool that works as both a crevice tool and a brush, perfect for dusting shelves or getting into tight spots. It also comes with a ‘pet multitool’ that’s supposed to help with upholstery, though we found we sometimes had to manually remove fur from the brush itself.

The Shark PowerDetect offers a good balance of performance and convenience. While it might not be the absolute quietest or the lightest, its smart features and adaptable cleaning head make it a strong contender for everyday use.

Here’s a quick look at what it comes with:

• Combination Tool (Crevice and Brush)
• Pet Multitool
• Self-emptying dock (optional add-on)

When it comes to runtime, we got about 58 minutes in eco mode, which is pretty good, though Shark claims up to 70 minutes. It does get noticeably louder when you switch to the higher power modes, which is something to keep in mind. Also, while it has a five-year warranty, which is the longest among our picks, finding replacement parts like batteries can sometimes be a challenge. If you’re interested in a powerful cordless stick vacuum, the Shark PowerDetect is definitely worth considering as part of your home cleaning arsenal.

Ryobi 18V One+ HP Advanced Stick Vacuum Kit

The Ryobi 18V One+ HP Advanced Stick Vacuum Kit isn’t the flashiest or the lightest vacuum out there, but it’s a solid workhorse that can handle a lot. If you’re looking for something with a big dustbin and the power to tackle messes in your home or even your garage, this Ryobi might be a good fit. It really impressed us with how well it picked up different kinds of debris on all sorts of floors, even keeping up with some pricier models in our tests.

What We Like

• Big Dustbin: With a 33-ounce capacity, this vacuum’s dustbin is quite large, meaning you won’t have to empty it as often, which is great if you have pets or a workshop. Customers have mentioned going a whole week without needing to empty it for light cleaning.
• Versatile Cleaner Head: It comes with a single cleaner head that works on both bare floors and carpets. It has a softer brush at the front for hard surfaces and stiffer bristles at the back for digging into carpets and picking up pet hair. You don’t have to switch heads like you do with some other vacuums.
• Fast Charging: The battery charges up in under two hours, which is faster than many other cordless vacuums we tested. Plus, the battery is compatible with other Ryobi 18V One+ tools, which is a nice bonus if you’re already in their system.
• Stands on Its Own: This vacuum can stand upright by itself, which is handy if you need to pause your cleaning and don’t have a place to lean it.

What Could Be Better

• Weight and Maneuverability: It’s one of the heavier vacuums we tested, weighing over 10 pounds. The battery placement behind the handle can make it feel a bit unbalanced, and we found ourselves switching hands a lot while cleaning.
• Wall-Mounted Charger: The charging station needs to be mounted to the wall, which might not be ideal for everyone. Some people might prefer a smaller, more portable charger that can be moved around easily.
• Headlight: While it has a headlight, it doesn’t detect dust quite as well as the lights on some other high-end models.

Performance

This Ryobi vacuum really holds its own when it comes to suction power. In our tests, it did a great job picking up everything from small debris to larger particles on different floor types. It even managed to pick up sand on carpet almost as well as some of the top-tier vacuums. The three cleaning modes are useful; we found the medium setting worked well for most everyday cleaning, saving battery life, while the boost mode was great for stubborn dirt. The included attachments, like the motorized mini brush and the micro crevice tool with its flexible straws, are surprisingly effective for cleaning tight spots and upholstery.

This vacuum is a good option if you need something that can handle a lot of dirt and debris without needing constant emptying. Its ability to work on multiple surfaces with one head and its fast charging make it a practical choice for many homes.

Specs

| Feature | Specification |
| :————– | :———————————————— | :———————————————— |
| Dustbin Capacity| 33 ounces |

If you’re already invested in the Ryobi 18V One+ system, this vacuum is a natural addition to your toolkit. It offers strong performance and a large capacity, making it a reliable choice for keeping your home clean. You can find more information about Ryobi’s range of tools on their website.

Tineco Go Pet Cordless Stick Vacuum

If you’re looking for a budget-friendly option that can handle pet hair, the Tineco GO Pet Cordless Stick Vacuum is worth a look. It often goes on sale for around $150, which is a steal compared to some of the pricier models out there. In our tests, it actually did a pretty good job of picking up common messes like sand, cereal, and dust, even outperforming a more expensive Tineco model we tested. It’s a solid choice if you hate lugging out your big vacuum for small jobs.

What We Like

• Good for Pet Hair: The mini power brush attachment is surprisingly effective at getting fur off upholstery. We tried it on a velvet couch in a house with four pets, and it made a noticeable difference without much fuss.
• Large Dustbin: With a 34-ounce capacity, the dustbin is quite generous, especially compared to some smaller stick vacuums. This means fewer trips to the trash can when you’re dealing with a lot of pet fur.
• All-Floor Cleaner Head: You don’t have to swap out the cleaner head when moving from hard floors to carpets, which is a nice convenience.
• Useful Attachments: Besides the mini power brush, it comes with a crevice tool for tight spots and a 2-in-1 dusting brush for general cleaning.

What Could Be Better

• Noisy Operation: This vacuum is definitely louder than some of the other stick vacs we tested. It’s not unbearable, but you’ll notice it.
• Dustbin Reassembly: While the dustbin is large, clipping it back on after emptying can be a bit fiddly. You really need to make sure it’s secure.
• Battery Availability: The battery is technically replaceable, but finding a replacement online is a hassle. We had to contact customer service just to see if one was available, which isn’t ideal.
• Struggles on Lightweight Rugs: We noticed the brush roll could sometimes get caught on certain lighter rugs, which might be an issue depending on your flooring.

While it’s not the most advanced or quietest vacuum on the market, the Tineco GO Pet offers good cleaning performance for its price point, especially if pet hair is a regular concern in your home. It’s a decent choice if you’re on a tighter budget and need something that can handle everyday messes. For more details on its performance, you can check out WIRED’s review.

Performance Breakdown

When it comes to picking up debris, the Tineco GO Pet holds its own. It handled everyday messes like Cheerios and birdseed with ease. The cleaner head, which has both soft and stiff bristles, works well on various floor types. However, it did struggle a bit with some lighter rugs, where the brush roll would occasionally seize up. It’s not as nimble as some of the higher-end models, but it maneuvers reasonably well around furniture.

Roborock Q5 Max+

If you’re looking for a robot vacuum that really gets the job done, especially if you have pets or kids who are prone to making messes, the Roborock Q5 Max+ is a solid contender. It ranked pretty high in our tests for how thoroughly it cleaned, and it was also surprisingly quiet compared to some other robot vacuums we’ve tried. Plus, it comes with a self-emptying dock, which is a huge convenience.

This robot vacuum uses a laser navigation system, which means it maps your home pretty accurately and quickly. We found that it could map our place in just one session, and then it cleaned up our test messes – think rice, Cheerios, pet fur, and baking soda – really well, picking up almost 90% of it. It’s also pretty good at avoiding obstacles, even when it bumps into something, it seems to figure out how to correct itself faster than many others.

What We Like

• Strong Cleaning Performance: It picked up a lot of debris in our tests, handling everything from fine dust to larger items like Cheerios.
• Smart Navigation: The lidar system allows it to map your home efficiently and clean in straight lines, covering more ground quickly.
• Self-Emptying Dock: This is a game-changer. The dock sucks all the debris from the robot’s bin into a larger bag, meaning you don’t have to empty the small robot bin after every single clean.
• Quiet Operation: Compared to other robot vacuums, the Q5 Max+ and its dock are noticeably quieter, which is great if you have pets that get spooked easily or if you just prefer a less noisy home.
• User-Friendly App: The Roborock app is pretty intuitive. You can schedule cleanings, tell it to clean specific rooms, or even set up no-go zones. It can store up to four different maps of your home.

What Could Be Better

• Edge Cleaning: Like many robot vacuums, it sometimes struggles a bit with getting debris right up against walls or thresholds. It has only one brush, which means it’s not as good at sweeping things into its path as models with two side brushes.
• Thresholds: While it can handle some smaller thresholds, it might get stuck on thicker rugs or higher door transitions. It did manage to cross a 0.75-inch threshold in our tests, which is better than many, but not all.
• Customer Service: Some users have reported inconsistent experiences with customer service, though our own interactions were prompt and helpful.

Key Features

• Navigation: LiDAR laser navigation
• Suction Power: 2700 Pa
• Dustbin Capacity (Robot): 470 ml
• Dustbin Capacity (Dock): 2.5 L
• Run Time: Up to 240 minutes on bare floors in quiet mode
• App Control: Yes, with mapping, scheduling, and room selection
• Voice Assistant Compatibility: Works with Alexa, Google Assistant, and Siri (pronounce "Roborock" as "Robo Rock")

The Roborock Q5 Max+ is a really good option if you want a robot vacuum that cleans well and has smart features without breaking the bank. The self-emptying dock is a major plus, and its quiet operation makes it easy to live with day-to-day. It’s a great helper for keeping your floors tidy between deeper cleans with your main vacuum.

Overall, the Roborock Q5 Max+ is a strong performer that offers a lot of value. It’s a great sidekick for keeping up with daily dust and debris, especially in homes with pets. You can find more details about robot vacuums on this page.

SEBO Felix Premium

If you’re someone who really likes upright vacuums but wants something that feels a bit more premium and performs exceptionally well, the SEBO Felix Premium is definitely worth a look. It’s a German-made machine, and you can tell. It just feels solid, you know? It’s not like some of the flimsy plastic ones you might have tried. This thing is built to last, and SEBO has a reputation for making commercial-grade vacuums, so they know what they’re doing.

Cleaning Power

This vacuum really sucks up dirt. Seriously, it handled everything we threw at it, from fine dust to glitter and even cereal. It did particularly well on sand, which is tough for a lot of vacuums. It comes with two main cleaning heads. One is a motorized head that works great on carpets, adjusting itself to different heights. It even has a warning light if the height needs changing or if the brush gets jammed, which is pretty handy. The other head is a non-motorized parquet brush with soft bristles, perfect for delicate wood floors. It was surprisingly good at picking up fine dust right along baseboards, something the motorized head sometimes struggled with.

Ease of Use and Design

Even though it’s an upright, the Felix feels pretty good to maneuver. The handle is adjustable, which is nice because you can set it to a comfortable height. It also has a self-propelling brush on the main head, so it kind of glides across the carpet, making it feel lighter. The cord wrap is conveniently placed up high, so you don’t have to bend way down to wrap the cord. Plus, the hose storage doubles as a carrying handle, making it easier to carry up and down stairs. It even converts into a handheld vacuum with attachments, which is great for cleaning furniture or those hard-to-reach spots.

Filtration and Maintenance

For those who worry about air quality, the Felix has excellent filtration. It uses S-class filters, which are really good at trapping tiny particles. It also has a large, 1-gallon bag, which means you don’t have to change it too often – maybe every three to four months, even in a busy household. Emptying it and changing the filters is also pretty straightforward because you access everything from the top of the machine, so no need to get on your hands and knees.

What Could Be Better

It’s not perfect, though. Being an upright, it can feel a bit heavier in your hands compared to a canister vacuum. It also doesn’t have an automatic cord rewind, which is a minor annoyance. And, it’s definitely on the pricier side, costing around $750. While it performs well and should last a long time, it’s a significant investment. Some people also found the handle height adjustment a bit tricky to use. It can also be a bit noisy because of its powerful motor, so if you’re sensitive to noise, a canister might be a better fit. Lastly, you can’t just pick one up at any big box store; you usually have to order it directly from SEBO or an authorized dealer, which limits where you can buy it.

The SEBO Felix Premium is a robust, high-performing upright vacuum that offers excellent cleaning power and filtration. Its thoughtful design features and long-lasting build make it a strong contender for those seeking a premium cleaning experience, despite its higher price point and some minor usability quirks.

Attachments and Customization

The Felix comes with a few useful attachments, including a crevice tool and a triangular brush that’s good for corners and upholstery. Some people find that a specific turbo brush attachment works even better for pet hair on carpets, and you can buy that separately, along with a pet kit that includes a grooming tool. What’s also kind of neat is that you can buy different patterned

Bissell CrossWave Edge

If you’re tired of the back-and-forth between vacuuming and mopping, the Bissell CrossWave Edge might just be your new best friend. This corded mop-vacuum combo is a real workhorse for hard floors, tackling both wet and dry messes without much fuss. It consistently left our test floors looking shiny and clean. Setting it up is pretty straightforward. You just fill the clean water tank, which is a decent size at 0.75 liters, so you probably won’t need to refill it mid-clean. Then, you pick your cleaning mode – either hard floors or rugs – and you’re good to go.

When it comes to cleaning, it does a solid job. It handled wet spills and fresh messes really well in our tests. It might take an extra pass for really dried-on stuff like mud or old pasta sauce, but it gets there eventually. What’s really neat is how the mop head is designed. The right side sits flush against edges, meaning you get better coverage along baseboards and in corners than with many other machines we tried. You can even use it as a vacuum on its own if you detach the water tank, which is handy if you just need to suck up some dry crumbs.

Since it’s corded, you don’t have to worry about battery life cutting your cleaning session short. Plus, cleaning it afterward is pretty simple. The tanks detach easily, and it comes with a stand that helps with its self-cleaning cycle. Bissell also gives you a two-year warranty, which is pretty standard for these kinds of appliances.

While the debris separator in the dirty water tank isn’t the best at keeping wet and dry messes separate, it’s a minor issue in an otherwise solid machine.

One thing to keep in mind is that it’s not the most agile machine. Our testers found it a bit stiff, especially when trying to turn the mop head or get into tight spots. But for overall cleaning power and ease of use on hard floors, the Bissell CrossWave Edge is a really good option, especially if you’re looking for a reliable hard floor cleaner.

Tineco iFloor 3 Breeze

If you’re looking for a cordless mop and vacuum in one, the Tineco iFloor 3 Breeze is a solid choice. It really impressed us with how quickly and effectively it cleaned up messes, even some of the tougher ones, and it did so without costing as much as some other cordless options out there. It’s pretty straightforward to use, too. You just fill up the clean water tank, hit the button, and it starts cleaning, dispensing water and sucking up dirt all at once.

It feels light and easy to handle, not flimsy at all, and the motorized wheels help it glide along smoothly. A few people who tested it mentioned it didn’t pull their arms too much, which is nice. In our tests, it handled a milk and cereal spill in just one pass and even a dried mud stain in two passes. That’s better than some machines that cost way more.

There are two modes, eco and max, and both worked fine. You get about 30 minutes of run time, which is a bit less than some stick vacuums, but it’s still decent for most cleaning jobs. One cool feature is the self-cleaning mode. You can connect it to its dock and run a quick cycle to keep the mop roll fresh.

However, it’s not perfect. There’s a small gap on the sides of the mop head, so it doesn’t quite get right up to the edges or corners. You have to position it directly to clean along baseboards. Also, the clean water tank is on the smaller side at 0.6 liters, meaning you might need to refill it during longer cleaning sessions. The debris separator isn’t the best either; it can get overwhelmed by mixed messes, leaving you with a rather gross dirty water tank to deal with. And since the battery isn’t replaceable, you’ll have to replace the whole machine when it eventually dies, even though it comes with a good two-year warranty. Still, for a cordless mop-vacuum combo, the Tineco iFloor 3 Breeze is a straightforward model that cleans just about as well as vastly more expensive cordless cleaners, making it a good option if you want to eliminate cords from your cleaning routine.

Narwal S20 Pro Vacuum Mop

If you’re looking for a high-end mop-vacuum combo that really ups the ante, the Narwal S20 Pro Vacuum Mop is definitely worth a look. It’s an upgrade in pretty much every way, and honestly, it makes cleaning feel less like a chore. This thing is pretty smart, with five different cleaning modes to handle whatever mess you throw at it. The ‘smart’ mode is usually spot on, adjusting suction and pressure as needed, and there’s a handy trigger if you need a quick boost for really tough spots. Plus, it can lay almost completely flat, which is great for getting under furniture, and those self-propelling wheels make it feel light even during longer cleaning sessions. You can expect it to run for about an hour on a charge, depending on the mode you’re using.

One of the standout features is its debris separator. It’s the best we’ve seen, really sealing off the dirty water tank so nothing gross falls back in. Cleaning out the tank is also way easier because of this. The clean water tank itself is a breeze to remove and refill, thanks to magnets instead of fiddly latches. It holds a good amount of water, too, nearly 0.8 liters, which is pretty generous.

When you’re done, just dock it, and it’ll clean and dry the mop rolls itself. Pretty neat. For folks with vision issues, the screen is bright and easy to read, and it even has audio cues for mode changes. It looks good too, with a sleek gray finish that’s a bit more stylish than your average cleaning gadget.

What We Like

• It cleans and dries itself: The self-cleaning cycle is a real time-saver.
• Excellent debris separation: Keeps the dirty water contained.
• Lays flat: Gets under furniture easily.
• Easy-to-fill water tank: Magnetic attachment makes refills simple.
• User-friendly display: Bright screen and audio prompts are helpful.

What Could Be Better

• It’s pricey: This is an investment, costing about twice as much as some other top picks.
• Battery isn’t replaceable: Like many cordless models, the battery will eventually wear out and can’t be swapped.
• Short warranty: It comes with a one-year warranty, though you can pay extra to extend it.
• Availability can be spotty: Narwal is a newer company, so you might have to wait a bit for delivery, and replacement parts are only available online.

While the Narwal S20 Pro Vacuum Mop is a fantastic machine with some really smart features, its higher price point and shorter warranty mean it’s best for those who are truly committed to using a mop-vacuum combo regularly. If you’re not sure you’ll use it that often, you might want to consider a less expensive option first.

This machine is a solid choice if you want a cordless mop-vacuum combo that does a lot of the thinking for you. It handles both wet and dry messes effectively, and the self-cleaning feature is a game-changer for keeping things hygienic.

Eufy RoboVac 11S Max

The Eufy RoboVac 11S Max is a solid budget option if you’re looking for a robot vacuum that gets the job done without all the fancy bells and whistles. It’s surprisingly good at picking up dirt and debris, even along baseboards, which is something many pricier models struggle with. In our tests, it handled rice, Cheerios, cat litter, and even baking soda pretty well. It’s also pretty quiet, so you might not even notice it’s running.

One of the standout features is its low profile, measuring just 2.85 inches. This means it can easily get under most furniture, like sofas and beds, to clean up dust bunnies and forgotten pet treats. It’s not the smartest navigator, using a random pattern, but it’s less likely to get stuck than some more expensive robots we tested. It does come with a remote control, which is handy for scheduling cleanings or telling it to focus on a specific spot.

What we like

• Excellent cleaning performance for the price: It picked up a lot of debris in our tests, including pet hair from carpets, and did a great job along edges.
• Quiet operation: You can easily have a conversation or watch TV while it’s cleaning.
• Low profile: Fits under most furniture.
• Durable and repairable: Many parts are replaceable, making it a more sustainable choice.

What could be better

• Random navigation: It doesn’t map your home, so it can sometimes seem a bit aimless.
• No app control: You have to rely on the included remote.
• Drop sensors can be finicky: We had a few instances where it went down stairs, likely due to dirty sensors.

Cleaning Modes

The RoboVac 11S Max offers three cleaning modes:

• Standard: For everyday cleaning.
• Maximum: For tougher messes.
• Boost IQ: This mode automatically switches between Standard and Maximum when it detects carpet.

Battery Life

On bare floors in Standard mode, you can expect about 100 minutes of cleaning. If you have carpets and rugs, a more realistic runtime is around 60 minutes. It’s not the longest, but it’s decent for its price point.

Durability and Maintenance

Many users have owned earlier versions of the Eufy 11S for years with minimal issues, only needing to replace the battery after a long time. Eufy also sells most replacement parts, like brushes, filters, and batteries, on their website. This makes the 11S Max a more sustainable option compared to robots where you can’t easily replace components. It comes with a one-year warranty, and customer service generally gets good reviews.

While it doesn’t have the smart mapping or app control of more expensive models, the Eufy RoboVac 11S Max is a reliable and effective cleaner that punches above its weight class. It’s a great option for anyone on a budget who wants a robot vacuum that actually cleans well, especially if you have pets.

Where to buy

This robot vacuum is a great value and can be found at various retailers. For the best pricing, check out Eufy’s official site.

So, Which Vacuum is Right for Your Home?

After all that testing, it’s clear that no single vacuum is perfect for every single house. Whether you’re battling pet hair on carpets, dealing with dust bunnies on hardwood, or just need something quick for everyday messes, there’s a machine out there that fits the bill. We found that the Dyson V12 Detect Slim is a great all-around choice for its power and maneuverability, while the Shark PowerDetect offers a convenient self-emptying feature. For those on a tighter budget, the Tineco Go Pet is a solid performer. And if you’re already invested in the Ryobi ecosystem, their stick vacuum is a smart pick. Think about what kind of floors you have, how much pet hair you deal with, and how much you want to spend. That will help you pick the best vacuum to keep your home looking its best.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a cordless stick vacuum and who is it good for?

Cordless stick vacuums are great for quick cleanups and are usually lighter than traditional vacuums. They’re easy to carry around and store, making them ideal for smaller homes or apartments. Some models are powerful enough for deeper cleaning, but they might not have the same long-lasting power as a corded vacuum.

What should I look for when buying a vacuum cleaner?

When choosing a vacuum, think about your home. Do you have pets? Lots of carpets or hard floors? Consider how much power you need, how long you want the battery to last, and if you need special tools for pet hair or tight spaces. Also, think about how easy it is to clean and store.

Are robot vacuums as good as regular vacuums?

Robot vacuums are helpful for keeping floors clean between deep cleanings. They can handle everyday dust and pet hair well. However, they aren’t as strong as regular vacuums, especially on carpets, and might miss dirt in corners or along walls. They’re best used as a helper, not a replacement for a main vacuum.

Do vacuums with HEPA filters help with allergies?

Most vacuums tested have HEPA filters, which help trap tiny particles. But, if you have bad allergies, a vacuum that uses disposable bags is usually better. This is because emptying a bin can sometimes release dust back into the air.

How do you test and choose the best vacuums?

When testing vacuums, we look at how well they clean different floor types and carpets, how easy they are to use and move, how long the battery lasts, and how sturdy they seem. We also check customer reviews and how easy it is to get replacement parts or fix them.

Can vacuum cleaners come with attachments for different cleaning jobs?

Yes, many vacuums come with different tools, like a small brush for pet hair or a skinny nozzle for tight spots. These extra parts make vacuums more useful for cleaning furniture, stairs, and other tricky areas.
