Best overall vacuum
This vacuum offers powerful suction, lift-away functionality so you can use it on upholstery and for other needs, anti-allergen technology with a HEPA filter, and a large capacity dust cup for longer cleaning sessions. Setup is straightforward as well, and it has brush-roll shutoff for automatically shifting between carpet and harder surfaces.
Best value stick vacuum
This vacuum accomplishes something many have not: ZeroTangle technology that prevents hair from pets and human wrapping the brush and preventing optimal performance. It automatically adjusts suction to prevents overuse of the battery, which helps it run for up to 60 minutes before you need to charge.
