Best Carpet Floor Vacuums

A powerful canister vacuum that is effective on carpet and features an extended cord and useful attachments. The accessories are useful for pet hair and human fur.

Certain vacuums are made to excel at cleaning carpets, with features such as HEPA filtration and stiff brushroll bristles. Upright and canister vacuums are ideal for extensive carpeting, while stick and robot vacuums are ideal for quick cleanups and mixed flooring.

Miele Classic C1 Cat & Dog PowerLine

The same German-made, super-quiet 1220-watt motor that Miele's top of the line bagged canister models and the Classic C1 Cat & Dog PowerLine is an efficient and versatile carpet vacuum that also works well on hard floors. It comes bundled with both an electric power nozzle for carpets (SEB 227) and a parquet floor brush (SBB 228).

This C1 version is great for pet owners or cats as it includes the SEB pet hairbrush, which is more effective. While it's not equipped with the carpet attachments that are which is included in the top C3 models, it does a great job cleaning both low and medium-pile carpets. The SEB 2277's sole suction floorhead isn't designed to handle medium or large-sized debris. The bristles are too short and tightly packed to effectively move the surface of this kind of material.

The vacuum is simple to operate and has a great feel. Hand-held controls offer a range of options, including an automatic power adjustment using a surface sensor. the HEPA rated post-motor filters that are loaded with charcoal to eliminate odors. The canister is constructed of high-quality plastics and stainless steel. The dirtbags and filters last a long time, and are easy to maintain.

The model is more expensive than BISSELL's entry-level Big ball however it comes with a larger dustbin and performs better on carpeted or plain floors. It doesn't have an onboard tool storage like the more expensive C3 models. However it does come with upholstery and crevice cleaning tools that can be affixed to a clip on its hose.

The Miele Classic C1 offers impressive versatility and is one of the most reliable vacuums on the market. It's not as sturdily built as the SEBO Airbelt D4 Premium, however it has the same quality of feel and has fewer components that require periodic maintenance. The dirtbags are larger than those of the Dyson V10, and its powerhead and hose are detached from the canister body to enable it to be easier to transport into and out of storage.

Levoit Vortex IQ 40 Cordless Stick Vacuum

This Levoit cordless cleaner is a great choice for those who are on a budget. It also has lots of cleaning power. It's the most expensive of the two Levoit cordless vacuum offerings, but it still costs less than a robot vacuum with all the bells and whistles. It also includes an adjustable crevice tool that telescopically extends and a dusting brush, which you wouldn't typically find on other vacuums at this price point. The hose is also quite long and allows you to clean your furniture, stairs, and other hard-to-reach areas of your home.

Robot Vacuum Mops vacuum and mop that can be controlled by an app. It can map multiple rooms and set custom cleaning scenarios and no-go zones while a smart mode can detect carpets and rugs to lift the mop out of them. It also comes with a self-emptying dustbin and a multi-function dock that empty and refills the water tank, cleans and then dries the mopping pads automatically.

From there, you can either choose an automatic schedule or an individual cleaning session that will require you to begin and stop manually.

We tested the vac-and mop combination on a variety of surfaces including carpets and plain floors, to determine how well it performed in the typical home. It did well in cleaning dust, pet hair and other debris on unfinished floors. However, it struggled to remove larger messes from carpet. Its side brush was designed to catch large particles and then suction them up, but it was unable to take smaller objects like tinsel or salt.

The X10 Pro's mopping capabilities, however, was much superior. In contrast to other robot vacuums, it didn't use a lot of water and was able to soak up spilled liquids without leaving the floor too wet. The rotating disks did not leave behind a trail of wet spots and its "edge hugging" setting was remarkably effective at getting into corners. The only downside is that the mops require to be cleaned periodically and are hard to reach without removing the robot vacuum cleaner carpet.

Bissell CleanView Rewind Upright Vacuum

This upright vacuum is a great choice for pet owners looking for a vacuum that is affordable and effective at removing pet fur. It is relatively quiet, and the large, clear dust bin makes it simple to identify the debris it's collecting. This vacuum is simple to set up, however the crevice tool needs the use of a Phillips screwdriver. It's not able to fit into the extension wand as easily as some other models and isn't as flexible but it does snap in place once it is connected.

This model is designed to clean floors with no dust carpets, medium and low-pile carpets and shag carpets. It has five carpet pile height settings that can be easily adjusted by turning a dial at the foot of the machine. It is extremely maneuverable and has a swivel steer, but is not as agile as other vacuums that we test. It doesn't have an extended cord, and its hose can only reach five feet, which limits its ability to climb stairs.

It is also missing a brush roll-off switch which makes it difficult to reach into tight corners and spaces. This is a great choice for those looking for a lightweight upright vacuum that is able to remove pet hair effectively from multiple surfaces.
