eufy Cordless Handheld Vacuum Cleaner
This handheld vacuum is cordless and lightweight, weighing just 1.2 pounds. It features one-pass suction power and its compact design and added crevice tool makes it perfect for cleaning in corners or along walls. Additionally, this is easy to charge with an included USB micro cable.
Our Testing Experience
One of our team members was inspired to purchase this vacuum after seeing a huge pile of crumbs that her son made after eating some crackers. “I use this every day, multiple times a day,” she says. “It’s so much faster than pulling out a dustpan and broom, and I use it mostly on the kitchen chairs and floor. It’s attractive enough that I don’t mind it sitting on my counter, where it can easily be reached for post-meal cleanup. It’s not the most powerful vacuum, but it’s perfect for what I use it for. It’s also quiet and light enough that my son now uses it to clean up after himself!”
BLACK+DECKER dustbuster
If you want a cordless, handheld vacuum that packs a little more power, consider this Black+Decker model that boasts 20V of power and cyclonic action for stronger suction. It has a 15-ounce capacity and can be used on carpet and bare floors. The unique pivoting nozzle makes it easy to maneuver in tight areas, and the wide-mouth design grabs more dirt at once. This product also has an easy-to-empty dirt bowl and filter, both of which are easily washable in your sink or tub.
SAMSUNG BESPOKE Jet Cordless Stick Vacuum
If you’re in the market for a high-powered, tech-focused cordless stick vacuum for hardwood floors and low-to-mid-pile carpets, this is a great option. It delivers strong suction with 210 AW of power and, since it is optimized to clean a variety of floor types, does not require switching brushrolls mid clean. Furthermore, this vacuum’s dustbin can be emptied into the clean station with the touch of a button for maximum convenience.
Our Testing Experience
When we tested this vacuum on hardwood floors it was easily the favorite model for everyone on our team. We particularly loved how easy it was to maneuver and its sleek design. It also performed well on all types of debris, from bits of cereal to tiny specks of glitter.
Eureka Flash Lightweight Stick Vacuum Cleaner
This two-in-one stick vacuum cleaner is a great budget pick that features a motorized floor nozzle that can easily switch between carpets and hardwood floors. At just over six pounds, it is lightweight and easy to move around your floors. This vacuum also features advanced swivel steering for even more control around tight spaces, and it has an LED headlight for seeing into dark areas.
Shark Navigator Lift Away Upright Vacuum
This powerful upright vacuum can clean carpet, hardwood, and upholstery and also includes a detachable lift-away function for cleaning stairs and furniture. This vacuum has a HEPA filter that traps allergens, dust, and pet hair to keep your floors fresh. It also comes with a crevice tool for corners or along walls.
Our Testing Experience
I personally own this vacuum and it consistently delivers excellent cleaning throughout my house. Switching between carpet and bare floor cleaning is a breeze and only requires adjusting a switch on the front of the device. It’s also easy to maneuver and lightweight. I’ve found that this vacuum was able to deliver a powerful suction that doesn’t leave behind any dust or dirt and makes the carpet look and smell fresh. The lift-away function is easy to use and is particularly helpful when cleaning stairs or hard-to-reach areas like corners or underneath beds.
Dyson Ball Animal Total Clean Upright Vacuum
This heavy-duty upright vacuum is all about maneuverability. It has a unique ball design that allows for easy pivots and precise maneuvering. It features a self-adjusting head that automatically raises and lowers to maintain powerful suction across both carpet and hardwood floors. This vacuum also has an instant-release wand which can be extended to clean blinds, the top of a staircase, or any other hard-to-reach area.

BISSELL Little Green Multi-Purpose Portable Cleaner
This deep-cleaning carpet cleaner is the perfect handy device for getting rid of tough stains like wine spills or pet stains. It has a powerful suction that works on carpet and upholstery and can also eliminate odors with its Spot and Stain formula with Febreze.
Our Testing Experience
When I used this cleaner to get rid of difficult pet stains on the carpet from my Chihuahua-Italian greyhound mix, it worked quickly and effectively. Our little guy sometimes has accidents on our carpet, and I found that this cleaner does well to eliminate both stains and related odors. Its lightweight, compact design is easy to use and takes up minimal closet space, and I was impressed with its large tank that needs minimal refills.
Shark StainStriker Portable Spot Eliminator
This portable stain remover from Shark has a no-frills design that fights to eliminate stains and odors from your carpet. It can pull out dirt, grime, and liquids from deep within your carpet for a full and complete clean. It uses a dual-activated cleaning formula with OXY that can wipe out hard-to-remove stains and also comes with a crevice tool for tight spaces.
iRobot Roomba j7+
Robotic vacuums are the most convenient way to keep your home clean. This product is equipped with iRobot’s PrecisionVision Navigation system which identifies and avoids obstacles as it works, and delivers a powerful power-lifting suction with bristles that pull in dirt, debris, pet hair, and more. Additionally, this vacuum has a smart mapping feature, so you can set schedules and control which rooms you want to clean directly from your smartphone.
Budget-Friendly Alternative
For a more budget-friendly pick from the same brand, you can also consider the iRobot Roomba 692, which is less powerful and doesn’t run as long, but still provides smart mapping and features dual multi-surface brushes.
Our Testing Experience
One of our team members owns the (now-discontinued) version of this robot vacuum, the i7+ and has had it running daily for over 4 years. She claims, “While it doesn’t provide as deep of a clean as a traditional upright vacuum, it has been a lifesaver by keeping things tidy throughout the week, especially with the auto-emptying bin. A must-have if you have pets. In my experience, it’s easy to set the schedule and specify zones where you don’t want the vacuum to venture into if you find it keeps getting stuck somewhere.”
Shark RV2310 Matrix Robot Vacuum
Another excellent robotic vacuum model is this product from Shark. It features a self-cleaning brushroll and strong suction that cleans both carpets and hardwood floors with ease. This vacuum moves in a grid to take multiple passes over dirt and debris in your home to ensure it is fully clean. It also has precision home mapping that learns every inch in your home and works to avoid objects on the floor.
BISSELL CrossWave Multi-Surface Cleaner
This product delivers the functionality of both a vacuum and a mop in one convenient device—and now at an incredible price. This product can be set to power vac mode to remove stuck-on dirt and debris or power mop mode for routine vacuuming and mopping simultaneously. It is completely cordless, making it easy to use anywhere in the home, and it uses tangle-free technology to minimize hair wrap and clogs.
Eureka Cordless Wet Dry One Hard Floor Cleaner
This cordless wet-dry vacuum is easy to maneuver: it weighs under 9 pounds and features a flexible brush head and advanced swivel steering that helps clean hard-to-reach areas. When you’re done mopping, just press the button on the base for three seconds to activate the self-cleaning function, automatically flushing the inner tubing and brush roller. The dual-tank system separates clean and dirty water, so you can always wash your floors with fresh, clean water.

For those in the market for a more powerful portable hand vacuum to use in their workshop or garage, DeWalt has this product on sale. This device can clean areas with either its front utility nozzle or flexible rubber hose and features a half-gallon tank—larger than most handheld models—that’s easy to empty and clean.
