Collection: Vacuum Cleaners

The right vacuum depends on your floors, your home's size and how you like to clean. A cordless stick vacuum suits quick daily pickups; a barrel vacuum has the power and capacity for a whole-house clean; a robot vacuum maintains floors on a schedule with no effort. Carpet and pet hair need stronger suction and the right brush head. Think about your floor types, whether you have pets, and how much of your cleaning you want automated.

What type of vacuum suits your home?

Each format suits a different cleaning style:

• Cordless vacuum (stick): light and grab-and-go for daily crumbs and quick passes, limited by battery run time.
• Barrel or canister vacuum: corded with strong steady suction and a large dust capacity, best for a thorough whole-house clean.
• Robot vacuum: runs on a schedule and maintains floors between proper cleans, though it needs a reasonably clear floor.
• Handheld vacuum: compact for car interiors, stairs and small spills.

What vacuum works best on carpet and pet hair?

Carpet and pet hair need a motorised brush head, not just suction, because a spinning brush bar agitates the carpet pile and lifts embedded hair and dirt that plain suction leaves behind. For pet households, look for a turbo or motorised pet tool, and a tangle-resistant brush design, since long hair wraps around standard brush bars and has to be cut off. A sealed system with a good filter matters too if anyone has allergies, since it stops fine dust and dander blowing back out. On hard floors, a soft roller head is gentler and picks up fine dust better.

Bagged or bagless vacuum?

Both have real advantages. A bagless vacuum empties into the bin with no ongoing bag costs, and you can see when it's full — but emptying releases dust back into the air, which matters for allergy sufferers, and the filters need regular washing. A bagged vacuum traps dust in the bag so emptying is cleaner and better for allergies, and it usually holds more before needing attention, but bags are an ongoing cost. Tip: whichever you choose, clean or replace the filter regularly, since a clogged filter is the most common cause of a vacuum losing suction.

Common questions

What vacuum is best for pet hair?
One with a motorised brush head and a tangle-resistant design, since a spinning brush lifts embedded hair that suction alone misses. A sealed filter system helps with dander and allergies.

Are cordless stick vacuums powerful enough?
They handle daily cleaning and hard floors well, and many manage carpet with a motorised head, but run time is limited by battery. For deep whole-house cleaning, a corded barrel vacuum has more staying power.

Do robot vacuums replace a normal vacuum?
Not entirely — they maintain floors between proper cleans and work best on clear, uncluttered floors. Most households use one alongside a stick or barrel vacuum for thorough cleaning.

Why has my vacuum lost suction?
Most often a clogged filter or a full dust container, followed by a blockage in the hose or brush head. Clean or replace the filter regularly, since this is the usual cause.
