Find the Vacuum Cleaner that’s perfect for you
Make an informed decision before you buy
A ConsumerReports.org subscription provides you with:
Recommended Vacuum Cleaners: We’ve found that high-priced, feature-laden vacuum cleaners don’t necessarily perform better. In fact, you can find a quality vacuum for $400 or less.
Buying guide: We’ll help you decide which types (upright vs. canister) and features (bag vs. bagless) will serve you best over the other options.
Where to shop: We surveyed readers and asked them to rate the best places to shop, online and off, for large and small appliances.
Ratings & Reliability: Our trained testers tried over 40 vacuum cleaners so you wouldn’t have to. We evaluated for performance including: carpet, bare floors, tool airflow, noise, emissions, handling and more.
