Best Carpet Floor Vacuums

A powerful canister vacuum that's efficient on carpet and features an extended cord and useful attachments. The accessories are also helpful for pet hair and human fur.

Certain vacuums are great on carpet, featuring specialized features like stiff brushroll bristles to ensure deep cleaning and HEPA filtering. Upright and canister vacuums are great for large carpeting, while stick and robot vacuums are ideal for quick cleanups and mixed flooring.

Miele Classic C1 Cat & Dog PowerLine

The Classic C1 Cat & Dog PowerLine powered by the same German-made, super-quiet motor as Miele's top bagged canister vacuum models is a powerful, versatile vacuum that works well for carpets and hard floors. It includes an electric power nozzle (SEB 227) for carpets, as well as a parquet flooring brush (SBB 228).

This variant of the C1 is the best carpet vacuum cleaner under $100 choice if you have dogs or cats, as it has the more efficient SEB pet hair brush. While it doesn't have the dedicated carpet attachment included with the flagship C3 models, it still is a great tool for cleaning both low and medium-pile rug. The floorhead made of pure suction that it uses is not suited to handle medium and large-sized debris, however the bristles on the SEB 2277 are too closely packed and short to provide sufficient surface agitation for this kind of material.

The vacuum is easy to maneuver and offers a fantastic control feel. Hand-held controls allow for a variety of settings that are convenient, including automatic power adjustment with a surface-sensitive sensor and an HEPA rated post-motor filters which are filled with charcoal to eliminate odors. The body of the canister is constructed of sturdy high-grade plastic and stainless steel. The filters and dirtbags last for a long time and are easy to maintain.

While this model is a bit more expensive than the entry-level BISSELL Big Ball, it features larger dust bin and superior performance on carpeted and bare floors. It doesn't have an onboard storage for tools like the more expensive C3 models. However it does come with crevice and upholstery cleaning tools that can be attached to a clip attached to its hose.

The Miele Classic C1 is a versatile vacuum cleaner that is one of the most reliable models on the market. It's not as robustly built as the SEBO Airbelt D4 Premium, but it has a similar high-end quality and less parts that require regular maintenance. The dirtbags are larger than those of the Dyson V10, and its powerhead and hose are detached from the body of the canister to enable it to be easier to transport into and out of storage.

A smart mode will lift the mop away from carpets and rugs.

We tested the vac-and-mop combination on a variety surfaces, including carpets and bare floors, to see how it performed in the typical home. It did well in picking up dust, pet hair, and other particles on bare floors. However it struggled to pick up finer messes from carpet. Its side brush, which is designed to catch and suck up large particles, wasn't able to pick up small items like salt or tinsel.

The X10 Pro Omni's mopping performance was far superior, however. It was able, in contrast to many dumb robot vacuums that use a lot more water, to soak up spilled liquids and not soak the floor. Its rotating disks didn't leave behind a soiled trail of wet spots and its "edge hugging" setting was remarkably efficient in getting into corners. The only drawback is that the mops require to be cleaned regularly and are difficult to reach without removing the robot.

Bissell CleanView Rewind Upright Vacuum

This upright vacuum is an excellent choice for people seeking a low-cost model that is effective at removing pet hair. It is fairly quiet and comes with a clear dust bin that allows you to observe the amount of debris it's picking up. It is simple to set up, but the crevice tool needs the use of a Phillips screwdriver. It isn't able to fit into the extension wand easily and is less flexible than other models, but it does snap into position after connecting.

This model is able to clean low-pile, medium-pile, and shag-pile carpets. It has five different carpet pile height adjustment settings that can be easily adjusted using an adjustment dial located on the bottom of the machine. It is very mobile and has a swivel steering but isn't as agile as other vacuums we tested. It does not have the longest cord, and can only reach 5 feet with its hose, limiting its stair climbing capabilities.

It also lacks an off-brush switch, which makes it harder to get into narrow spaces and corners than other models. This is a good option for those looking for a compact upright vacuum that can get rid of pet hair efficiently from a variety of surfaces.
