Only a powerful plug-in upright or canister vacuum can truly deep-clean your carpets and floors. We recommend four.

Any vacuum can clean bare floors, but some models make it a little easier. We think the Miele Classic C1 Pure Suction does an excellent job.

We recommend six vacuums that have the tools, power, and maneuverability to tackle pet fur in your carpets, on your couch, or in your car.

Robot vacuums never get bored or tired, so with little effort on your part, they can keep your floors consistently tidy.

Power cords got you wound up? We’ve tested dozens of cordless stick vacuums to find those with the best combination of cleaning power, comfort, and convenience.

For a dependable, versatile, and affordable cleaner, we prefer a bagless upright, but we have recommendations for other types of vacuums as well.

Handheld vacs ferret out crumbs from cushions, dirt from car seats, and fur from sofas. We recommend the Ryobi 18V One+ Performance Hand Vacuum Kit.

The new Dyson Gen5detect is long on upgrades but falls short of the maneuverability and overall convenience that a great cordless stick vacuum should deliver.

We tested six cleaners that can vacuum and mop at the same time. The Bissell CrossWave plug-in is the best you can get.

New pressure washers are getting smaller and quieter, with plenty of scouring power for outdoor surfaces.
