Despite its slim look, this 2-in-1 machine rivaled larger ones when it come to sucking dirt out of carpets in our test.  The Dyson stick vac is super easy to use and it comes with two heads — one for carpets and one for bare floors. This model is super lightweight and with the wands removed, it converts to a handheld vacuum for even more versatility. It has three power modes and includes a crevice tool and a combination dusting/upholstery tool, a mini soft dusting brush, and a mini motorized tool with a rotating brush for cleaning fabric and carpeted stairs.   

A GH Seal star, this Miele is ideal for allergy and asthma sufferers, since its self-sealing bag keeps dirt out of the air. It's a powerhouse that cleans everything from delicate curtains to deep carpets. Some consumers said it was heavy, but its cleaning power can't be beat.

This Good Housekeeping Seal holder ran for an impressive 37 minutes in our lab tests and was among the quietest we tried. We also like that the handle lays flat on the ground (by rotating it at the base), which makes it easier to vacuum under furniture and other tough-to-reach places. LED lights illuminate floors so you can see even the finest dust particles.

In our Cleaning Lab tests, the i7+ easily picked up litter, like oatmeal and sand from carpet and bare floors. Unlike other robot vacuums, when it returns home, any debris it has collected is automatically dispensed into the base and enters a sealable, replaceable bag that’s easy to swap out. It’s smart, too. With the app, you can control where it goes and which rooms it cleans. The i7+ easily found its way around furniture legs and the carrying handle makes it easy to tote from room to room.

The motorized power nozzle on this Miele canister vacuum can tackle five different carpet pile heights. The soft parquet brush is perfect for bare floors that may be susceptible to scratching, and for low loop carpets that a rotating brush might fray. Dial the adjustable suction down to clean delicate drapes and throw rugs, and crank it up to deep clean heavily soiled carpets.
