Best cordless vacuum for pet hair: Dyson V15 Detect

The Dyson V15 Detect is the company’s latest stick vac, and it has plenty of bells and whistles. It’s also the most powerful cordless vacuum we’ve tested.

Even if it was only vacuuming hardwood, mid-pile, or low-pile carpeting, the V15 still managed to leave a tuft in its wake. It also removed almost all of the sand particles we dropped onto the floor.

Best midrange cordless vacuum: Tineco A11 Hero

The Tineco A11 Heroes stick vacuum is our second-best performer when it comes to cordless vacuum testing. It’s also officially bumped the Shark Pro Pet Cordless from our top pick.

The Hero vacuum cleaner is more effective at removing sand deposits from low- and mid-pile carpet. It’s also cheaper than the Shark.

The A11 Hero cordless vac was able to remove pet hair from hardwood floors and midpile carpeting without causing too much damage. However, it left some strands visible.

Best midrange robot vacuum: Neato D7

The Neato D7’s robotic vacuums are more durable and can handle more dust and dirt than the Roomba. It’s also cheaper than most of the competing models.

The Dyson S9 Plus is a far better vacuum cleaner than the S10 Plus for cleaning hardwood floors, as it collects 95% of the sand that we put down. It also cleaned dust and dirt from mid-pile rugs more effectively.

The D7 is a smart vacuum that can clean up more while still covering more ground with its built-in lidar laser navigation system.

You can also control the robot through the Neato app, which works seamlessly with Alexa and Google Assistant. It lets you set up areas of the home that are off-limits to cleaning.

Best budget cordless vacuum: Moosoo M X6

The Moosoo M X6 is a low-cost, bagless vacuum cleaner that’s capable of delivering a satisfying performance even though it’s not a household name.

The stick vac picked up 99% of the sand test on hardwood floor. On low-pile carpet, it only picked up 41.3%. The M X6 was able to pick up more sand across thick mid-pile carpet.

Black rice was a breeze to pick up. Its high particle pickup average was over 90%.

The Moosoo M X6 is a good choice if you’re a dog owner. It doesn’t seem to leave traces of dander on the surface, but if you’re a pet owner, this is a bad idea.

If you’re on a tight budget, but still want a vacuum cleaner, then the Moosoo M X6 is a good fit for you. It has a built-in vacuum cleaner that’s designed to work seamlessly with most household items.

Best budget robot vacuum: Eufy Robovac 11S Max

Even though it’s only $236 right now, the RoboVac 11S Max can still clean hardwood floors with an impressive 71% removal rate. Its ability to pick up dirt makes it a good choice for removing floor debris.

The Eufy’s navigation system took quite a bit of time to get used to. Despite this, it was still able to clean up our test room.

Best overall robot vacuum: iRobot Roomba S9 Plus

The iRobot Roomba S9 Plus is a great vacuum that’s equipped with a built-in suction device. It’s also capable of removing dirt and dust.

On hardwood floors, the Roomba picked up 93% of our test sand, but it struggled to clean up after low-pile carpeting. It also earned a low average dust and sand pickup rate of 28%.

When it came to removing dirt from our carpet, the iRobot Roomba robot vac cleaned up more than 70% of it. It was also able to remove more dog hair and dander than any other vacuum in the test group.
