It also features a detachable hose, stair tool, and tangle-free turbine tool, among other attachments. The vacuum transitions easily from hardwood floors to carpets, too, and it comes with a range of height settings so you can adjust it as needed. Whether coffee grounds, cereal, corn kernels, hair or lint, the Dyson removed these with ease in just a few passes. This vacuum thoroughly collects and removes all different types of debris, sucking them instantly into the dust cap without tangling them in the roller. We like it for its strong suction and hair detangling ability, making it a great choice for anyone with pets, in particular. If you’re willing and able to splurge on your vacuum, consider this upright model from Dyson. It's fairly large and heavy, setup can be complicated, and it can spit some larger debris. Type: Cordless stick | Weight: 6 pounds | Cord Length: N/A | Battery Life/Runtime: 60 minutes | Dustbin Capacity: 0.8 liters But power-wise, it more than does the trick, and its ergonomic design means that you won’t get too tired while using it unlike with many other vacuums.

This is a fairly high-priced vacuum, especially since it doesn’t come with any other attachments or an extra battery, and it’s also a bit difficult to set up. It also features a digital display where you can check on airflow issues, power levels, noise settings (it comes with three) and more, and the vacuum’s battery life can last an impressive 60 minutes.

It comes with a mini motorized tool as well as a long-reach crevice tool to reach tight corners, and its lightweight, swiveling design makes it easy to change up the angle.

When used on both stairs and hardwood floors, this vacuum moved smoothly over both surfaces and was 100 percent effective at picking up pet hair and coffee grounds.

Love the ease and feel of a cordless stick vacuum? This lightweight and portable vacuum from Samsung has seriously strong suction, among several other perks. It's a bit difficult to set up and comes with only two attachments. Type: Upright | Weight: 16 pounds | Cord Length: 25 feet | Battery Life/Runtime: N/A | Dustbin Capacity: 0.9 liters But if you’re okay with the device’s weight, then you’ll be glad you picked up this affordable vacuum. Still, that size does make it a heavy vacuum and thus difficult to move around steps, and there’s no portable attachment to help with reaching those more awkward areas. And despite its large size, the vacuum was still easy to maneuver around and under furniture. Plus, the dust cup is large enough for fairly long cleaning sessions. You can go from carpet to hardwood and vice versa, thanks to the brushroll shutoff feature. This vacuum comes with a detachable pod and nozzle so you can get into hard-to-reach areas, as well as an upholstery tool and a crevice tool, both of which did an excellent and quick job getting rid of debris and hair. It’s a reasonably priced, easily assembled device with powerful suction and swivel steering, making it a great tool to have at your disposal. You can’t go wrong with a classic upright vacuum, and we’re big fans of this option from Shark. It's heavy and difficult to move around steps. Type: Cordless stick | Weight: 4.2 pounds | Cord Length: N/A | Battery Life/Runtime: 20 minutes | Dustbin Capacity: 0.2 liters This vacuum is on the pricier end, though, which might be a deterrent to some shoppers, especially if they only want to splurge for a vacuum that has a super long battery life and a high-capacity dustbin, both of which this device lacks. Plus, it’s fairly simple to assemble, despite its many parts. And because the vacuum is so lightweight, it takes almost zero effort to lift, even to reach a high shelf on a bookcase.Īdditionally, the vacuum moved very smoothly over the stairs and was not too loud, either. The primary cleaning head is designed to swivel and glide easily across hardwood-it comes covered in a soft nylon to capture large debris, while the anti-static carbon fiber filaments simultaneously remove fine dust. This vacuum comes with multiple helpful attachments, including a mini motorized tool ideal for small surfaces and a light pipe precise tool that’s great for narrow spaces. The Omni-Glide+ doesn’t come with a beater brush of any kind, so it’s not going to scratch your hardwoods (just keep in mind that this means it won’t be effective on carpet). It’s a compact, lightweight vacuum that’s far more powerful than its design lets on: It proved fast and effective at picking up hair and debris in our testing.

It doesn't have a super long battery life or a high-capacity dustbin.įor a highly effective and easy-to-use vacuum that’ll do wonders on your hardwood floors, we recommend this option from Dyson.
