8 Best Dyson Vacuums

We know this vacuum falls in the Dyson animal range, but there’s no reason you shouldn’t get it, even if you don’t have any pets. The crazy amount of suction you get with this machine makes it ideal for households with small children – and for those that track a lot of dirt in.

While the self-adjusting cleaning head should make it easy to move from hard-surface floors to carpeting, the suction is so strong that some users find it easier to switch the machine off and back on when moving between surfaces. But, you won’t have to do too much unplugging to reach across rooms; the cord is 31’ (which is rather impressive).

The quick-release wand is easy to use, but a little tricky to put back in…which is a shame. But, as far as upright Dyson animal vacuums go, you may not need to use the release too much for standard cleans – as the suction power pulls from the edges better than most.

Accessories include a stair tool, combination tool, and a tangle-free turbine tool – and there’s an extra-large capacity. Unlike other machines, there’s a single wheel housing which can take a little getting used to, but the low center of gravity it gives makes it easy to maneuver (despite its weight).

This vacuum does an impressive 270 AW suction. It requires less effort to get dirt, pet hair and microdust in almost all types of flooring and stares.

No more back problems because this vacuum cleaner has accessories and tool deep clean different floorings, stares, and furniture. It has a whole-machine HEPA that trapped bacteria and allergens in your home. Additionally, this vacuum is easy to clean with just one click  to empty its hygienic bin.

This vacuum well worth your money especially if you have pets or children that cause a lot of dirt in your home. It will save you more because it can lasts for years with the same amazing cleaning ability.

This is easily one of the best lightweight vacuum options on the market, making it a strong choice for multi-story homes that only want one vacuum. That said, it may not be the best for homes with pets or loads of people living in it; the capacity of any stick vacuum just works against those conditions.

That said, the soft roller cleaning head (which is one of two, making this suitable for all surface types) does a fantastic job of picking up both small and large debris, so you can use it as a broom as well as a vacuum. And, it seems to be as quiet as sweeping too.

There are two power modes, which means you can obtain a thorough clean – even in high-traffic areas, but you should know that using the MAX mode will reduce the time you can spend cleaning before you need to recharge (which takes about four hours).

The docking station is wall-mountable, which many users find helpful. But, it doesn’t have enough storage space for all of the accessories, which are enough to tackle just about every cleaning job you can imagine.

Considering its status as one of the best lightweight vacuums – Dyson or otherwise – the stick release for conversion to a handheld is useful. But there are those that don’t like having to hold the pistol grip while working.

With the increased suction power from previous models and the easy release of the dustbin, this is definitely the best stick vacuum on the market; if this type of vacuum is right for your home, this is the one you want.

Its tough suction power has a maximum mode of 115 AW with 150% more brush bar power to dig out large and small debris and dust from hard floors.

This vacuum cleaner is cordless, lightweight, and handy. It allows you to quickly gets deep seated dirt while capturing allergens for a cleaner air using HEPA filtration. The bin only needs a single click to eject all the dirt for more convenient use.

This Dyson V8 Absolute vacuum cleaner is powered by a new lithium ion-battery that has 4 hours minimum charging time before first use and has up to 40 minutes run time of powerful suction.

We’re not going to pretend this is the best Dyson vacuum for everyone; it’s not. But if you really want a powerful, but lightweight Dyson (with all the sucking power this brand is known for), this budget option does more than the price tag would suggest.

It works with a trigger rather than an on/off switch, but that does help to maintain battery power for this vacuum (which is important given the limited battery life of this model – somewhere around 20 minutes).

The weight – and the distribution of it – makes this a contender for the best lightweight vacuum out there. And that works hand-in-hand with the mountable docking station, which conveniently holds the crevice and multitool attachments; you won’t struggle to carry this up and down stairs to put it away.

Unfortunately, the small capacity of this Dyson vacuum means you’ll spend some time emptying the dustbin during your first several cleans. But, as long as you don’t have a busy home and you vacuum often-enough, you won’t spend as much time emptying as time passes.

• Flooring types: All

• Cord: Cordless
• Battery life: 20-minute max charge
• Suction power: 100 AW
• Suction technology: 2-Tier Radial Cyclone

  • H: 47.5

This vacuum has a maximum suction mode and powerful motor inside its brush bar with stiff nylon bristles that clean deep dirt and dust on low carpets and hard floors.

The charging time for this vacuum requires 3.5 hours minimum before first use. A full-charge can last up to 30 minutes run time. The instant release trigger enables you to only use battery life when the vacuum is in use.

The vacuum ergonomically transforms into a handheld for quick spot cleaning in difficult to reach places. It is lightweight and cordless for a hassle-free cleaning. The convenient docking station allows you to charge and store your vacuum so it is always ready to use.

It is pricey but it all worth your penny because it makes your quality cleaning easy, convenient, and powerful.

Dyson does a range of handheld vacuums; there are five – but the only difference between them is the attachments that come with each model.

In addition to the V6 Trigger (which is the base model), you’ll find:

• V6 Baby + Child
• V6 Top Dog
• V6 Car + Boat
• V6 Mattress

Since the specs of the V6 Trigger are the same as the others, it’s fair to question including any Dyson handheld models at all.

The answer is simple; if you need a handheld vacuum, you want to get a Dyson – they are leaps and bounds ahead of the competition. No matter which variant you go with, or the accessories you use (the V6 Trigger only comes with a crevice attachment), these are maybe the only handheld vacuums that actually pick up everything they’re meant to.

If you really want to, it’s possible to pick from the V7 range, but the difference between the two, given the types of jobs handhelds are meant to tackle, tends to boil down to price. (Perhaps later editions will have more substantial developments.) Though, you can get a little extra cleaning time from the newer model.

The one thing that we would really change about this handheld Dyson vacuum is the inclusion of a wall mount. But, this isn’t a deal breaker for most users as the 6’ cord makes it easy to find a convenient charging area.

• Flooring types: Small jobs

• Battery life: 20-minute max charge
• Suction power: 100 AW

This Dyson V6 Trigger has three times more maximum suction power than other handheld vacuums. It’s wonderfully strong suction does not lose in time. It can provide 6 minutes of higher suction to tough areas in your home floors, car, and furniture.

This handheld vacuum is lightweight and ergonomic that is easy to grip for easy handling. The cordless design makes your life easier which lets you move the vacuum without thinking of the cord to be tangled.

It has up to 20 minutes run time of powerful suction. The trigger grip can be released instantly and battery is only used when doing the vacuuming task. This vacuum has a fade-free lion battery to provide 1.5 times more power than DC34.

You might be used to upright vacuums, but there are a few good reasons to make the switch to a canister vacuum.

Firstly, these vacuums are easy to maneuver as your dragging rather than pushing the bulk of the machine around as you work.

But, perhaps more importantly, you don’t need to make the switch to attachments when you want to work around furniture or get underneath pieces that sit a little higher off the ground. (Plus, this one has excellent suction power at the edges.)

Together, these make canister vacuums brilliant for homes with a lot of obstacles. With the core components placed in the ball, you really can turn and work quickly.

And with this Dyson canister vacuum, you don’t need to worry about the machine toppling all over the place when you work quickly; it will right itself when that happens, a feature that sets this Dyson apart from competitive brands.

We’re especially fond of the extra attachment you get that allows you to use accessories from older models (and some other brands) with this machine. The retractable cord is another benefit, though it could be longer.

With all the benefits, we feel obliged to mention that this is a heavier machine, which means it’s not necessarily ideal for anyone that hates lugging vacuums up and down the stairs unless it will live semi-permanently on one floor. But, in no way do we think that’s a deal-breaker for this vacuum; it’s one of the best Dyson has ever made.

This multi-floor vacuum release a powerful suction to make the transition from travertine tile to rug and carpet a breeze. It can reach up to 45 feet and has excellent performance especially in dusting.

This vacuum has a good built-in storage and the canister is easy to detach for emptying. You don’t need to bend down just to clean the dirt, its turbine tool has a brush bar that can be controlled by handle. Though it is a bit bulky, it is one of the best Dyson vacuum for ease use.

This Dyson ceramic shaft vacuum cleaner features a powerful suction device that will deep clean your home from top to bottom. It is lightweight and cordless which makes it great for quick clean up. No need to worry about your pet hairs, this versatile vacuum cleaner with stiff nylon bristles does an amazing job in picking up even the tiniest dirt particles. It allows you to choose from the three power options and whether you want the suction in low or high settings. 

Cleaning the vacuum filter is quick and easy with easily removeable attachments. It’s also noise-free, which is a plus if you have a baby or little kids at home. However, even though it is powered by a battery, its not removable so you cannot back it up when it runs out of charge.

So far, this Dyson Cyclone V10 vacuum cleaner can be used handheld and definitely looks great. To activate the vacuum, simply hold the trigger. However, the trigger can make your fingers sore once held for too long.
