9 Best Vacuum Cleaners

Performance: If you want a vacuum cleaner suitable for every room in your home, this is the bad boy for you! Not only is it lightweight, but it’s designed to be easily moved around hardwood floors, carpets, and even up/down stairs. You’ll find that it’s very comfortable to work with for hours at a time.

The motor produces some pretty impressive suction, ensuring that the vacuum cleaner picks up everything from mud spots to dirt to debris to pet dander. Sadly, the added power also makes this the noisiest vacuum cleaner on our list. Definitely not a machine to use if someone is trying to sleep or watch TV anywhere in the house.

Features: The main feature of this vacuum cleaner is its canister, which collects the dirt and is easily removed for emptying and cleaning. This is ideal for those who are sick of dealing with vacuum bags and want a user-friendly machine.

The controls are easy to use, and you’ll be able to switch the vacuum from carpet to hardwood floors with the press of a button. The machine comes with the typical accessories (crevice tool, dust brush, etc.). Thanks to its three-stage filtration system (including a post-motor filter), you can clean your home without worrying about kicking dust up into the air. Just like the Easy Empty Dirt Cup (canister), the filters can be washed and re-used.

Price: At $65, this is a very well-priced appliance. You’ll find it offers good durability, functionality, and versatility—sadly, customer service is poor, so you’d better hope you don’t need to return it for any reason.

Performance: If you’re looking for a great upright vacuum cleaner to use at home, you’ll love this Shark appliance. Not only is it highly versatile—you can simply lift the canister out for easy portability—but it also delivers pretty good performance for the price. Though it doesn’t produce suction on par with the top-rated models on the market, it’s also 1/3 or 1/4 the price of competitors.

Unfortunately, a number of users have complained about the customer service offered by Shark. In the event of a break down, Shark either failed to honor the warranty, took forever to respond to their complaints, or wouldn’t replace the product because it was bought on Amazon. However, the majority of users have stated that the machine is durable, with no faults or flaws for the 5-year warranty period.

Features: This is one of the most feature-rich vacuum cleaners on the market. Not only is it a canister vacuum (easier to clean, no bags needed), but it’s designed with a quick release switch that allows you to lift the canister out of the upright vacuum shell. This allows you to get into crevices, under tables, and behind furniture with ease. It’s also great for hitting the corners of your stairs and in your car.

The Anti-Allergen Seal Technology offers excellent protection against 99.9% of dust and allergens, and the HEPA air filters will prevent the debris from escaping the cleaner as you vacuum. Not only is it designed with a versatile swivel, but there are even built-in LED headlights to make vacuuming under furniture and in dark environments a breeze.

Price: At $180, this is a vacuum cleaner definitely worth its salt. Though it’s slightly lacking in suction power and overall performance, it’s incredibly user-friendly, versatile, and easy to use. At the price, you won’t find a better upright vacuum cleaner!

Performance: If you’ve got a workspace you want to keep clean, this is the machine for you. Not only is it designed to suck up wet and dry objects, but it also comes with a 210 MPH blower to blow any sawdust or dirt out the garage door.

The vacuum cleaner struggles with larger objects (nails, for example), but it’s a BOSS when it comes to small particles. You’ll find that it leaves your home or work space clean in a matter of minutes. Best of all, it comes with a muffler that dampens the noise, making it a surprisingly quiet machine.

Features: The vacuum cleaner comes with a 12-gallon tank that can hold a surprising amount of garbage before needing to be emptied. Thanks to the extra-large emptying nozzle at the base of the vacuum cleaner, you can clean it out in a matter of minutes. The cord is a bit short (just 12 feet), but the extra-long hose more than makes up for it. You get all the typical additions (crevice tool, car nozzle, and utility nozzle), plus a few more (2 extensions, an air/noise diffuser, a blower nozzle, and reuseable foam sleeves).

The controls are set in the top of the machine, with a special dust-sealed design that makes it resistant to damage and wear. With its stainless steel container and the two-stage industrial motor, it’s a machine worth its price!

Price: At $120, this is one of the cheaper vacuums you’ll find on the market. It’s durable, reliable, and definitely a wet/dry vacuum cleaner worth owning. Best of all, it comes with a 2-year warranty to cover any defects or faults.

Performance: If you love to grill, you’ll definitely want this vacuum cleaner on hand. It’s designed with a metal hose and canister that is heat-resistant, meaning you can suck up the ash and coals before they have fully cooled. The suction power is excellent, thanks to the 10 Amp motor, and you’ll love how effectively it sucks up even the finest particles. You’ll never have to worry about dust or ash in the air after cleaning your grill with this bad boy.

The filter system within the vacuum cleaner is fire-resistant, not to mention fully washable and replaceable. The main downside of this vacuum cleaner: it can’t handle large coals without clogging, and the air filters get clogged fairly quickly.

Features: The vacuum cleaner DOESN’T have the fancy accessories you get with other appliances on our list, but it only has a brush nozzle, turbo nozzle, and straight extension wands. It may not be as versatile for your home interior, but boy can it get a grill clean!

The 16-foot cord and 7-foot hose give you more than enough reach to clean your grill even if you don’t have a plug outside. Thanks to the 2-stage air filtration system, you can get your grill very clean without kicking up any dust at all.

Price: For just $65, this is a great-priced vacuum cleaner. While not the most versatile machine, it’s a grillmaster’s best friend.

Performance:

If you want a high-performance handheld vacuum cleaner, this Black and Decker appliance is the one for you. Not only do you get quality power from the 20-volt motor, but the output remains consistent throughout the entire battery charge. No weakening suction as the battery drains, just full speed ahead until it’s time to recharge. And with its 3-stage filtration system, you get dust-free air with every use.

The lithium battery has a longer lifespan than your average handheld vacuum cleaner, so you get up to 15 minutes of use from this bad boy instead of the industry average of 8-10. Lithium batteries have a long lifespan, so you’ll find you can get a lot of re-charges from the vacuum cleaner before it’s time to change batteries.

The vacuum cleaner isn’t annoyingly loud, but it does a great job of sucking up all dirt and debris. It can be a bit of a chore to clean or empty (thanks to the oddly designed access door). However, the fact that it has a flexible nozzle means you don’t need a bundle of accessories to do a good job. It’s an all-in-one that provides everything you need for a clean home.

Features: There are no attachments because there are none needed. The pivoting head is able to get into all the cracks and crevices as efficiently as any attachment would. The nozzle has its own built-in brush and crevice tool that you can extend or retract as needed.

One of the great features of this vacuum cleaner is its compact design. When not in use, it’s designed to fold up surprisingly small. It can sit on the charging dock and take up very little space until you need it. It’s lightweight, easy to carry, and features a comfortable, ergonomic handle that’s easy on your wrists.

Price: At $68, this is one of the pricier handheld vacuum cleaners on our list. And yet, it’s definitely worth paying a bit more for, considering its compact size, long-lasting battery, powerful suction, and quality design. It’s a vacuum cleaner built to last!
