If you want an affordable, versatile vacuum cleaner—nothing fancy, but something dependably solid—look for a bagless upright vacuum that costs about $150. It will work well for most people in most homes. (The Shark Navigator line has been our favorite for this style for many years.) But if you’re looking for something different, we’ve also rounded up the best of the rest—from cordless sticks and long-lasting canisters to cheap handhelds and even robots—for all types of homes.
Our pick
Shark Navigator Lift-Away NV352
This reliable, effective, easy-to-use, and reasonably priced bagless upright vacuum cleaner will work well for most people in most homes. It’s our pick for six years running.

Best overall vacuum
Photo: Sarah KobosThe best affordable bagless uprights work well with just about any type of vacuumable debris (including pet hair) and floor type (including most carpets, wood, tiles, or anything else). And they should last at least five years without much maintenance (no new belts are required) and with minimal cost (the filters are washable, and these vacs don’t need bags).
On the most common types of flooring (like low- or mid-pile nylon carpeting and most bare floors), great bagless uprights work almost as well as the strongest overall vacuums (like Miele canisters, among some others), often for much less than half the cost. They’re easier to maintain than cheaper uprights and most canister vacuums, and should last longer than all but the sturdiest high-end machines. Read more about the best upright vacuums.
Consider an affordable bagless upright vacuum if:
- You want quality on a budget: The good bagless upright vacs are reasonably priced, have no recurring costs, and should last for at least five years. Getting one is the best way to stretch your dollar when buying a vacuum cleaner.
Skip an affordable bagless upright vacuum if:
- You’ll avoid cleaning because you need to unravel the cord. No shame! Cordless vacuums and robot vacuums are a lot more convenient to use.
They do cost a lot more than plug-ins with similar cleaning power, though. - You have delicate flooring. If you have hand-knotted rugs, or soft wood or tile that’s prone to scratching, you might want a canister vacuum with a cleaning head that’s designed for these surfaces.
(If our current pick, the Shark Navigator Lift-Away NV352, is out of stock, you could consider the NV354, which is the same base model with different accessories.)

Best canister vacuum
Photo: Michael MurtaughIf you like your floors to stay very clean, and you’re willing to pay big bucks for a vacuum that will last a decade or more, get a high-end canister vacuum.
It’s a big investment, but it can pay off in the long run.
The best canister vacs are arguably the best vacuum cleaners. Their big, high-suction motors and versatile, adjustable cleaning heads do an excellent job cleaning all types of floors (even delicate or high-pile rugs) without being too unwieldy to handle, since the weight is distributed among their different parts. They should last for at least a decade (usually much longer), and tend to do an excellent job of maintaining great indoor air quality—though you’ll need to pay for fresh bags and filters every few months for as long as you own the vacuum. Read more about the best canister vacuums.
Consider a high-end canister vacuum if:
- You want something that will last a long time. They don’t make most stuff like they used to, but great vacuums are an exception to that rule.
- You want excellent performance across the most types of flooring. These vacuums can suck fine dust out of nearly any rug (even high-pile), so it’ll look, feel, and smell better for longer.
- Indoor air quality is a top priority. Canister vacuums’ bags and tightly sealed airways are great for removing allergens and irritants from your home. For bonus points, add a HEPA filter.
Skip a high-end canister vacuum if:
- You prefer uprights. Some people just can’t get comfortable dragging a little pod behind them while they clean—especially with a cord attached to it. There are plenty of uprights that can handle all floor types like most canisters can, and some of them have excellent cleaning power, too.
- You don’t want the costs and responsibility. You’ll need to buy at least a few fresh bags and filters every year, and you should expect to lug the vacuum to the shop once or twice a decade for repairs or maintenance.
- You have lots of hairy pets. Fur fills bags quickly. Get a bagless vacuum if you’re worried about the cost of bags getting out of control.
Upgrade pick
Miele Complete C3 Calima
Praised by nearly everyone as excellent, this nimble canister vacuum works on any kind of flooring, runs quiet, and should last for decades. It’s great for those with asthma and allergies, but it requires bags.
An approximation of the relative cleaning power of different types of vacuums. Illustration: Sarah MacReadingBest cordless stick vacuum
Photo: Michael HessionFor most people, great cordless vacuum cleaners are now strong enough to replace plug-in vacuums. But cordless vacs cost more, they don’t last as long, and unless you spring for a really high-end model, they may not have enough run time to clean big homes in a single pass.
All that said, cordless vacuums make it so easy to clean that you may just be fine with those tradeoffs.
They’re especially life-changing if you live in an apartment or smaller house with a cramped floor plan, because they’re so thin and light and easy to steer, and there’s no cord to get caught on any corners. And even in bigger homes, you may find that you get used to cleaning just a few rooms at a time, so that battery life isn’t such a big deal. The best cordless models are strong enough to clean as well or nearly as well as plug-ins, even on most types of rugs.
Most cordless vacuums also double as handheld vacuums now, so you can buy one vacuum to clean your floors and your car. Read more about the best cordless vacuums.
Consider a cordless vacuum if:
- You live in a small apartment or house. It’s much easier to vacuum a home that has a cramped floor plan when there’s no cord getting caught.
- You don’t want to deal with a cord. It takes just a few seconds to grab your cordless vacuum and start cleaning—no obstacles, no excuses!
Skip a cordless vacuum if:
- You want the most value for your money.
When you compare cordless and plug-in models that have similar cleaning power, the cordless models cost more and die sooner. The best cordless vacuums can now clean nearly as well as the best plug-ins, if you’re willing to pay for one.
Our pick
Tineco Pure One S11
The Tineco S11 is one of the lightest, most comfortable-to-use stick vacuums that also have enough cleaning power to work pretty well on most rugs (though it’s not quite the best we’ve tested). A unique dust sensor makes it easy for you to focus your efforts on areas that are actually dirty.
Upgrade pick
Dyson V15 Detect
If you want a cordless vacuum that fully replaces a plug-in, a high-end Dyson is as close as it gets. The Dyson V15 is actually better than lots of plug-in vacuums at cleaning rugs. Owners love the auto-adjusting suction.
Best robot vacuum
Photo: Michael HessionIf you’re interested in a robot vacuum and willing to pay for one, then hell yeah, get one.
They don’t clean rugs as deeply as traditional vacuums do, and they never navigate perfectly (though some are getting pretty close). But they can keep your floors tidy, with very little effort and oversight on your part. They’re particularly advantageous for pet owners, but most people are pleasantly surprised by how much stuff robot vacuums manage to pick up.
Some simple but effective robot models are about the same price as good traditional vacuums. Meanwhile, higher-end models add advanced features like targeted area- or room-specific cleaning, or even a self-emptying feature. (Roomba introduced smart-mapping software for our top pick in March 2022, but we haven’t tested it yet.) Read more about the best robot vacuums.
Consider a robot vacuum if:
- You have pets. Most people don’t have the time to keep up with the mess that a shedding pet creates. But robots never procrastinate or get bored or have other plans, so they’ll have no trouble picking up the pet hair almost as fast as it falls.
- You simply will not use a regular vacuum. A robot that runs for an hour every other day will keep your home so much tidier than 20 minutes of you half-heartedly pushing a traditional vacuum a few times per month.
Skip a robot vacuum if:
- Your home is filled with robot hazards. Dog turds, stray charging cables, tall thresholds, black rugs, and general messiness can all cause problems for bots—though some expensive models are getting a little better at dealing with them.
Our pick
iRobot Roomba i3 EVO
The i3 is better than competitors at getting pet hair out of rugs, and its nimble nav system consistently and thoroughly cleans large spaces. Like any iRobot Roomba, it should be durable.
iRobot Roomba i3+ EVO
This is the Roomba i3 packaged with a charging dock that automatically sucks all the debris out of the robot after a cleaning session.
It works! And it makes it even easier to own a robot vacuum.
Budget pick
Eufy RoboVac 11S
This affordable robot vacuum is quieter and fits under more furniture than any other model we’ve tested. While it works best in small spaces, it rarely gets stuck and does a good job on bare floors and short-pile rugs.
Best budget vacuum
Photo: Michael MurtaughWe’re not comfortable recommending any specific vacuums that cost less than $150 (except when the models we just mentioned go on sale). Plenty of vacuums cost less than that, and some of them actually work pretty well—at least when they’re brand-new. But even the good ones tend to wear out quickly and often can’t be repaired at all. It will usually pay off in the long run to spend a little more today on a vacuum that will last longer.
All that said, if you insist on spending less and just need something convenient to use for a couple of minutes per day to tidy up small messes on bare floors—and not to clean rugs—just go for the cheapest thing you can find on Amazon (or wherever). The cheapest plug-in models cost around $35, and cordless models start around $90. Don’t expect anything great.
Budget pick
Black+Decker Powerseries Extreme 20V Max
The Black+Decker cleans the best of any cordless vacuum we tested in its price range. Though its dustbin is a pain and its bare floor cleaning only so-so, it effectively strips rugs of gritty debris. Bonus: It uses affordable Max batteries.
Budget pick
Shark Navigator Lift-Away Deluxe NV360
This model is essentially the same as the NV352, our top canister vacuum pick, with very minor differences. It runs cheaper than the NV352 too, which makes it a solid choice if you’re working with a smaller budget.
Best handheld vacuum
Photo: Michael MurtaughIt’s handy to have a little handheld vacuum to deal with small messes. Today’s handheld vacuums can be surprisingly strong without costing too much. The best ones have enough oomph to quickly suck up crumbs, grit, and other types of obvious debris, with adjustable nozzles that can make it easier to get at hard-to-reach spots without wrenching your wrist. Read more about the best handheld vacuums.
Our pick
Black+Decker 20V Max Lithium Pivot BDh3000PL
This handheld vacuum’s distinctive pivoting nozzle and powerful suction make short work of tidying up around the home or in the car.
Runner-up
Best vacuum for pet hair
We’d argue that robot vacuums are the best tool for cleaning up pet hair because they can dutifully keep up with the mess at a pace that few humans have the time or patience to match.
But if you don’t want a bot, then any decent vacuum cleaner will work fine. There’s no special design that makes vacuums especially adept at picking hair up off of floors. Even the cheapest vacuums can pick up pet hair off a bare floor, and any vacuum that’s good at getting dust out of rugs will also be good at digging pet hair out of rugs.
You don’t even have to limit yourself to models that have the words pet or animal in their names. That just means they come with a tool for getting pet hair off of upholstery, or (occasionally) that a vacuum’s brush roll won’t tangle easily. Those are nice features! But plenty of vacuums with names that don’t include animal or pet have these features, too.
One edge case to consider: If you have a lot of hairy pets, like four golden retrievers or a half-dozen long-haired cats, you might want to avoid bagged vacuums. Pet hair fills bags quickly, and the cost of replacing bags so frequently can add up.
Our pick
Shark Navigator Lift-Away NV352
Any decent vacuum can clean up pet hair, so don’t fret about this. Our favorite vacuum is good whether or not you have pets.
Our pick
iRobot Roomba i3 EVO
The i3 is better than competitors at getting pet hair out of rugs, and its nimble nav system consistently and thoroughly cleans large spaces. Like any iRobot Roomba, it should be durable.
Best vacuum for allergies and asthma
If you have asthma or severe allergies, and indoor air quality is crucial to your health, a high-quality bagged vacuum is a safe bet. Our favorite high-end vacuums do an excellent job of sucking up allergens and irritants—and keeping them contained during disposal.
There’s a bit of controversy on this topic. Experts disagree on the traits a “clean-air” vacuum needs to have. The Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America (AAFA) says that some bagless vacuums are okay in this regard. (It’s worth noting that AAFA is sponsored by Dyson, which makes only bagless vacuums. No other major vacuum brands sponsor AAFA. So that’s a potential conflict of interest, though the AAFA certification testing is pretty rigorous, and we don’t doubt that bagless models have produced good results on this tough test.) But most boots-on-the-ground salespeople and technicians told us that they would not recommend bagless models for households in which air quality was a major concern, because the act of emptying a bagless vacuum re-pollutes your air. We’d recommend erring on the side of caution with a bagged, sealed-system vacuum that has a HEPA filter.
What if you don’t have asthma or severe allergies? Well, it never hurts to have a HEPA filter on a vacuum, but they’re overkill for many people.
Also, a vacuum can come equipped with a HEPA filter but have mediocre overall filtration, if the transfer points throughout the vacuum don’t have rubber gaskets. So don’t be fooled into paying extra just because a vacuum has a HEPA filter.
Our pick
Miele Complete C3 Calima
The Complete C3 is a bagged vacuum (they trap dust and dander better than bagless vacs), and the C3 is one of the tightest-sealed machines out there. This model comes standard with a HEPA filter.
Best vacuum for bare floors
This is the easiest task for a vacuum cleaner, and you don’t need anything special. But if you want to make the job a little easier, there are a couple features to consider.
For a mix of bare floors and rugs, the surest bet is to get a vacuum that lets you turn the brush roll on or off.
An aggressive brush can scatter certain kinds of debris on bare floors, or even scratch certain types of flooring, so it’s helpful to be able to switch it off. Most plug-in vacuums (including the upright and canister models we recommend) have this option, though it’s less common among cordless vacuums.
If you don’t plan to clean rugs (or at least not very deeply), you can get a vacuum that’s purpose-built for cleaning bare floors. Most of these are “suction-only” models, without a brush roll (and some of these are dirt cheap). But a few of them use a specialty soft-fabric brush roll to help “hug” the debris toward the intake. Read more about the best vacuums for hardwood floors.
Also great
Miele Classic C1 Pure Suction
This quiet and long-lasting suction-only vacuum is great for bare floors and flat rugs. You can easily upgrade to a different cleaning head if you eventually buy low- or medium-pile rugs.
Buying Options
$349* from Amazon
*At the time of publishing, the price was $299.
Best vacuum for high-pile carpets
High-pile carpets (like shag, frieze, saxony, cable, or long plush) pose a problem for some vacuums: The long fibers can tangle around the brush roller and/or block the intake, essentially choking the vacuum.
If you have any carpeting like that, and you want to clean it thoroughly, your best bet is to get a vacuum with an adjustable cleaning head—one that can rise or fall with the carpet height.
Alternatively, you can try to clean longer rugs by turning off the brush roll or turning down the suction (if your vacuum has those options). Read more about what makes a vacuum great on carpet.
Our pick
Miele Complete C3 Calima
This all-around excellent canister vacuum has an adjustable cleaning head that can rise or fall to suit different types of flooring, including high-pile carpets.
If it’s still hard to clean the densest rugs, you can also turn down the suction.
Best vacuum for cars
If you like to keep your car tidy, any handheld vacuum can work, but one with an accordion hose and clip-on tools will make the job easier. This style is also great for cleaning up around the house. Read more about the best car vacuums.
Our pick
Black+Decker 20V Flex BDh3020FL
Decent suction, a 4-foot flexible hose, and clip-on tools help this handheld vacuum reach spots in your car and home that other models at this price can’t touch.
Frequently asked questions
Which vacuum has the strongest suction?
We’re not sure, and we don’t think it matters.
Suction is important, but it’s not the only thing that makes a vacuum great at cleaning. While suction lifts debris off the ground, airflow is also crucial for moving debris into the dustbin, and you need good brush-roll action to work the debris out of carpet fibers, too. Our overall favorite vacuum, the Shark Navigator Lift-Away, had some of the best cleaning performance of all the vacuums we’ve tested.
Which is better, bagless or bagged vacuums?
It depends. On one hand, bagless models have no recurring costs. On the other, bags can help a vacuum last longer by keeping debris out of hard-to-clean parts that will slowly clog the machine over time. Air quality experts tend to advise that bags are better for people with allergies or asthma because they’re easier to throw out without spilling debris or kicking up a plume of dust. Bags will, however, need to be replaced several times a year, and if you have pets, they’ll tend to fill up faster, and the costs can add up.
Are expensive vacuum cleaners worth it?
Sometimes.
Paying more (sometimes a lot more) for a vacuum can get you a longer lasting machine (if we’re talking Miele canister vacuums) or it can get you more convenience and longer battery life (if we’re talking Dyson cordless sticks). In both the cases of Miele canister vacs and Dyson cordless sticks, you’re going to get excellent cleaning performance. If you pay more for a robot vacuum, you’re more likely to be able to control its cleaning pattern, and to get a self-emptying dock. It really depends on what you’re looking for. Most people are very happy with vacuums that cost around $150, and some of them can last for many years.

11 Best Vacuums of 2022
We updated this article in October 2022 to ensure all picks tested and vetted by the Good Housekeeping Institute Cleaning Lab were in stock with correct pricing.
When shopping for a new vacuum, decision paralysis can hit when you’re given so many options with seemingly endless brands, styles and models to choose from, not to mention prices ranging from budget-friendly vacuums under $100 to well over $1,000.
And right now is a great time to shop, since you can score huge savings on a vacuum during Amazon's Prime Early Access Sale. While most vacuum cleaners should work well on low- to medium-pile carpets and bare floors, choosing the best vacuum cleaner for you and your home means also thinking about more than just the surface you’ll be vacuuming.
Thankfully, the Good Housekeeping Institute Cleaning Lab is here to help. We have tested hundreds of different types of vacuum cleaners, putting together lists of the the best robot vacuums, top-performing HEPA vacuums, best-in-class handheld vacuums and so much more. We consider bagged and bagless, corded and cordless models and test how easy each one is to maneuver, what tools it comes with and its overall performance. Because we test each model three times for cleaning performance and suction, our latest test of 20 models quickly multiplied into 320 separate tests. Models that were considered for our 2022 Cleaning & Organizing Awards were tested in the lab by our cleaning experts and by our panel of consumer testers too.
From all of our testing and data tabulation, we chose these models as the best vacuum cleaners of 2022.

How we test vacuum cleaners
In the Good Housekeeping Cleaning Lab, vacuum cleaners are a major product review category: We're constantly getting new samples in for testing, and as a member of ASTM International's F11 Vacuum Cleaner Committee, we meet and interact twice yearly with engineers and technical representatives from all brands to help develop and shape the vacuum cleaner test standards we all use to assess performance, ease of use, durability and more. All vacuums are tested exactly the same way for more accurate performance comparisons, and our tests are based on the ASTM International industry standard test methods.
With a custom-built, automated machine that makes the same number of passes over the same test carpeting (pictured below), we objectively measure how well each vacuum removes dirt deeply embedded into medium-pile carpet.
We even have a separate machine to clean the carpets between test runs so one result won't influence the next. We look at how well the vacuums remove large and small debris, like gritty sand and dried orzo pasta, from hardwood, tile and linoleum flooring, how well they clean along edges and how much suction they draw through the tools. We use industry-standard rayon fibers to simulate pet hair that we evenly spread on a carpet’s surface to see how well each machine cleans it up. Using the same custom-built, automated machine we use for dirt removal testing, we measure how well each vacuum picks up "pet hair" from carpet.
Jodhaira Rodriguez/Good Housekeeping
In addition to performance testing, we test for ease of use of each vacuum cleaner. This testing includes evaluating maneuverability, battery run-time for cordless vacuum cleaners, the ease of the controls and how simple it is to empty and clean the dust cup or to change the bag. We also factor in the weight of each model.
All special features and claims are assessed, and we even give the owner's manual a grade.
Because maneuverability can be different from one consumer to the next, we have consumer testers rate the vacuums’ maneuverability by running them on a bare floor and carpet, around corners and under furniture. They rate the ease of removing the dust cups or bags and the ease of operating the vacuums’ controls. For sound measurements, we work with Quiet Mark, an independent global sound certification program, to objectively determine the loudness of each model and any other features like battery charge indicators, brush roll control buttons and other tools and accessories are noted and tested too.
How to find the right vacuum cleaner for your home
Unfortunately, there isn’t a single, universal vacuum that’s perfect for everyone, but there are some things to consider to help you make the best decision.
✔️ Bag or bagless: Both types clean well in Good Housekeeping Cleaning Lab tests.
Bagless models come with a dust cup and filter assembly that needs frequent emptying and cleaning. The advantage is that you don’t have to stock up on bags or ever worry about running out of them. They can be messy to clean and empty, though, and may not be the best choice for those with allergies to dust. Bagged vacuums are easier and neater to maintain, plus great for allergy sufferers as all dust and allergens remain sealed in the dust bag. All you do is toss the bag when it’s about ⅔ full. You do need to keep a supply of replacement bags on hand.
✔️ Power source: Decide whether you want a vacuum with a cord, which can limit how far you can vacuum until you need to find another outlet, or whether you prefer cordless, which has a battery life you'll need to monitor between charges. You can also opt for a robot vacuum, which does the cleaning for you and goes back to recharge on its own when it’s time, but the charging base must remain connected to a power outlet and should not be moved so the robot knows how to get back to it after cleaning.
✔️ Attachments: The handy attachments that come along with your vacuum are equally important. A motorized power nozzle can help you clean carpets and rugs more efficiently, while a crevice tool can help you reach tough spots that tend to collect dust, such as behind a couch or dresser. There are also tools such as a mini-turbo brush that work wonders when it comes to getting your pet’s hair off furniture.
✔️ Space: Last but not least, let the space that you live in guide you. If you live in a small apartment, you can consider a corded vacuum or one that doesn’t need as much battery life; if you have multiple floors, you'll want a longer run time and bigger dust cup. If you have stairs, you’ll need a vacuum that can easily go up and down each step all while picking up dirt and dust. If you have a lot of carpet in your bedrooms, an upright vacuum cleaner or canister with rotating brush roll will do the best job, whereas a vacuum cleaner with soft bristles or a brush roll that can be turned off is better suited for hardwood floors.
What is the best type of vacuum cleaner to buy?
✔️ Choose an upright vacuum cleaner if your home is mostly wall-to-wall carpeting and all on one floor. In our Cleaning Lab tests, upright vacuum cleaners do the best job of removing ground-in, embedded dirt from carpeting because they are usually heavier than other styles and the weight of the nozzle helps them reach deep into the carpet pile for better cleaning. Uprights can weigh anywhere from 10 to over 20 pounds, which can be heavy to carry up and down stairs. If your home has more than one level and you prefer an upright, consider keeping one on each floor. Most uprights feature on-board hoses, wands and tools for vacuuming crevices and upholstery and cleaning above-the-floor spaces like door frames and crown moldings. If you’ll be using an upright vacuum to clean bare floors and low loop or pile rugs, we recommend selecting a model where you can adjust the height of the nozzle and switch off the rotating brush to avoid scattering debris and damaging flat and delicate surfaces.
✔️ Opt for a canister vacuum cleaner if your home has lots of stairs and bare floors. Many full-size canister vacuums come with a power nozzle that has a rotating brush to mimic that of an upright. We recommend this attachment if you prefer a canister and have deep pile carpets in, say, just the bedrooms. Otherwise, you’ll see a long flat attachment or brush that can be used on bare floors and low, flat rugs. Canisters can be heavy, too, but are easier to pick up and carry with two hands. All have hoses and attachments for dusting, upholstery and crevices. Because the motor and canister can be placed out of the way, these vacuums are easier to maneuver into tight spaces and to use on stairs than uprights are.
✔️ Consider a stick or pole vacuum cleaner if you are looking for a lightweight, quick picker-upper for bare floors and low pile rugs. The cleaning performance of this type of vacuum is getting better and better, and it may be the only vac some homes require.
Most are slim enough to stash in a corner or closet for speedy clean-ups. They come corded or cordless, and in our Cleaning Lab tests, we’ve found rechargeable ones usually run anywhere up to one hour, so you’ll need to keep them plugged into an outlet to keep them fully charged and ready to go. Second batteries are also helpful so you always have a backup. Most have rotating brushes for efficient floor and rug cleaning, and many convert to or have a hand vacuum on board so it’s like having two vacuums in one. Most come with attachments, like dusting brushes and crevice tools and charging stands for storage.
✔️ Go with a robot vacuum cleaner if you want to get your cleaning done while you’re out of the house or doing something else. Robot vacuums use cameras and lasers to map their way around your rooms, so they don’t miss a spot. Today’s robots are more sophisticated than ever. Most can be controlled with an app on your phone, and some are even voice-enabled. Many can return to the home base for a recharge and then go back to cleaning wherever they left off.
Robot vacuums are great maintenance cleaners, but won’t replace a full-size vacuum. They fit easily under most beds and furniture to clean the spots you likely skip.
✔️Pick a handheld vacuum cleaner if you need a compact tool to quickly clean up dry spills on bare floors and surfaces or to nab lint, pet hair and other debris on fabrics or carpeting. Some come with hoses and attachments; others can pick up wet spills too. Handheld vacuums come corded or cordless and are easy to take outside to clean the car.

1. Atvel G9 vacuum cleaner
Cordless vacuum cleaners typically have less power than corded vacuum cleaners (due to limited charge), but can be just as effective with brushes. As for the degree of air filtration, lightness, functionality and convenience, wireless models have long outperformed their classic counterparts.
The new vacuum cleaner from the American manufacturer Grand Stone is far ahead of the competition in terms of technical innovation.
First, the air filtration system consists of six stages, two of which are HEPA fine filters (class 10 and 12). Therefore, the system delays up to 99.996 percent particles down to 0.3 microns. The vacuum cleaner is equipped with a brushless motor with a frequency of 125,000 rpm, which has an intelligent control system. The system itself increases power where necessary, and in the event of a blockage or loss of tightness, the vacuum cleaner will be turned off for protection.
The battery level is displayed on the OLED display. Operating time in standard mode - 60 min.
Secondly, this is the only cordless vacuum cleaner so far that has two rotating brushes at once. The first is for large debris, the second for wool and hair. Thus, the vacuum cleaner is equally effective on any surfaces and against any debris. Additionally, the nozzle is equipped with a light for cleaning dark places. The kit also includes 4 additional attachments for different purposes, and charging is carried out on a floor or wall charging base (both included).

How to choose a vacuum cleaner
Choosing a vacuum cleaner is a very responsible business.
When buying, you need to be guided by several parameters: do you suffer from allergies, do you have pets and what level of energy efficiency does the device have. "KP" gives advice to customers in the form of a small memo on choosing a vacuum cleaner.
Maneuverability
When choosing, consider whether you can easily control, pull and lift the vacuum cleaner. If possible, check the operation of the device on different surfaces - carpets, hard floors and others. A number of problems are often found in the process: rebalancing on vertical machines, lack of flexibility, heads sticking on hard floors due to poorly designed cleaning heads.
Surface
Look for a vacuum cleaner with a nozzle that matches the type of floor in your home. Carpets - Turbopump with rotating brush to help you remove dust and dirt. Wooden or tiled floors - washing and with gentle cleaning modes for such coatings.
Filter
The filter is another important thing to consider when buying a vacuum cleaner.
