With all the vacuum options available today, it can be difficult to find the right one for your needs. Depending on what functions you prioritize, you may even want several different types of vacuums.
Each type of vacuum cleaner has its own specialty area: stick vacuums are more lightweight and can be cordless, allowing for quicker cleaning, whereas robotic vacuums can be great for day-to-day maintenance. But neither can compare with the power you would get from an upright or canister vacuum.
All of these high-performing vacuums have warranties that will last for years to come. And whether you are looking for Cordless, Bagless, UV-C Light, or Water Vacuums, we’ve listed the most popular vacuum choices to help you decide which is the best vacuum for you in 2021.
