Ask Katie Reed, a passionate fur mom who was purchasing a new one annually up until three years ago when she moved to her current place. “I’ve tried so many vacuums. We have two animals, and one is a Sheltie with a lot of hair who sheds what feels like all day long,” Reed explains. “We also have a lot of different surfaces, plus stairs.” A new house was the perfect excuse to splurge on a cordless Dyson (which, unsurprisingly, makes a couple of appearances on this list). “I haven’t felt the need to buy or even look at a new vacuum, so I’ve already saved hundreds of dollars,” she continues. With an ease of use, variety of attachments, light weight and powerful suction, it continues to check every box. However, even Reed admits the perfect vacuum may not exist. “I have yet to find one that actually does it all,” she says. That’s why it’s important to keep your priorities top of mind when looking for the best vacuum for your life. Are you using yours daily like Reed and need something simple to maneuver? Or do you have all hardwood and want something that can handle both the vacuuming and mopping? From my own experience to Reed’s anecdotes to hours of research, this list of the 15 best vacuums encompasses something for everyone, including budget buys, robot options, techie splurges and more.
