8 Best Floor Vacuums of 2025

This cordless powerhouse redefines what budget-friendly vacuums can achieve. With 28KPa of max suction and a V-shape anti-tangle brush, the CHEBIO A16 obliterates pet hair and fine debris across hardwood, tile, and carpets—without constant brush cleaning. Its 1.5L dust cup and 45-minute runtime mean fewer interruptions, making it perfect for homes where speed and efficiency are non-negotiable. If you’re tired of vacuums that clog, stall, or die mid-clean, this one’s engineered to eliminate those frustrations.

In real-world testing, the flexible motorized floor head with 180° swivel navigation glides under sofas and beds like a pro, while the LED headlights expose dust bunnies lurking in shadowy corners. The dual suction modes let you stretch battery life on hard floors or boost power for carpet deep-cleaning. However, while it handles low-to-medium pile rugs well, thick carpets reveal its limits—suction dips slightly under prolonged high-load use. Still, the fully sealed cyclone system with HEPA filtration ensures 95% of ultrafine particles stay trapped, a rare win at this price.

Compared to the bulkier Shark NV360, the CHEBIO trades raw power for lightweight agility and cordless freedom, making it ideal for quick daily sweeps in small-to-mid-sized homes. It’s not built for whole-house marathons, but for targeted, efficient cleanups—especially around pets and high-traffic zones. When stacked against the Tikom V500, it lacks an LED display and slightly less suction, but offers better dust capacity and longer runtime at the same price point.

Don’t let its featherlight frame fool you—this budget-savvy stick vacuum packs a surprising punch for spot cleaning. At just 3.3 lbs, the Bissell 2033 is a go-to for quick pickups on sealed hardwood, tile, and low-pile rugs. Its 2033 watts of motor power may sound impressive on paper, but real strength lies in its instant-on suction and no-fuss crevice tool, making it perfect for kitchen spills, breakfast crumbs, or post-pet meal messes. If your cleaning routine is reactive rather than rigorous, this vacuum answers the call without breaking the bank.

During testing, it excelled at surface-level debris and light dusting—especially on countertops and stairs—but revealed its limits on embedded dirt and carpets. The 0.67L dirt cup fills fast during whole-room cleaning, and the corded design limits range, though the 15-foot power cord covers most small rooms. It doesn’t deep-clean, nor does it handle pet hair well—strands wrap around the roller with ease. Still, as a secondary vacuum for light-duty tasks, its three-in-one versatility (stick, handheld, stair vacuum) makes it a clutter-cutting hero.

Against the Eureka Blaze, it offers similar portability but less maneuverability and no swivel steering. It’s no match for cordless models like the LEVOIT LVAC-200 in runtime or filtration, but it wins on instant power and zero charging anxiety. For renters, dorm dwellers, or anyone needing a no-frills cleanup tool, this vacuum delivers barebones efficiency at a rock-bottom price—a true utility player, not a star.

Step into the canister comeback with the Eureka WhirlWind—a sleek, no-nonsense machine that proves bagless canisters still have soul. At 8.15 lbs, it floats across floors with swivel steering precision, wrapping around furniture and stairs like a dancer. The 2.5L dust container is a game-changer—few vacuums at any price let you clean for weeks without emptying. Combined with 960 watts of consistent suction, it delivers deep carpet cleaning and bare-floor polish without power fade, making it a rare true dual-surface performer in the budget zone.

Real-world use shows it shines in homes with stairs, area rugs, and cluttered layouts. The telescoping metal wand extends reach without wobbling, and the integrated crevice tool and dusting brush mean no lost attachments. The automatic cord rewind is a small luxury that pays off daily—no more manual coiling. However, the hose is shorter than ideal, and while it handles pet hair better than most canisters, long strands still cling to the brush. Still, the washable filters and zero bag costs make long-term ownership delightfully cheap.

Next to the Shark Rocket HV301, it offers more capacity and quieter operation but lacks the convertibility to handheld mode. It’s heavier than stick vacuums but offers superior airflow control and sustained suction. For allergy sufferers, pet owners, or anyone with mixed flooring, this canister delivers maximum clean for minimal cash—a stealthy overachiever in a world obsessed with cordless flash.

This tech-forward stick vacuum doesn’t just clean—it communicates. The full-color LED touch screen is a revelation, displaying battery life, suction mode, and error alerts in real time, turning cleaning from guesswork into a guided experience. With 40KPa of suction and a 450W motor, the Tikom V500 pulverizes pet hair, litter, and crumbs with authority, while the 6-stage HEPA cyclone system traps 99.99% of allergens—making it a top pick for sensitive households. The wall-mounted dock doubles as a charging station and storage hub, keeping everything organized and ready.

In action, the 6-in-1 versatility stands out—switching from stick to handheld takes seconds, ideal for cars, stairs, or couch crevices. The motorized head with 6 LED lights illuminates hidden dust under beds, and the 180° horizontal swivel makes tight corners manageable. Battery life hits around 35 minutes on high, less than claimed, but the detachable 6*2000mAh battery allows for spare swaps. Still, the 1.3L dust cup requires more frequent emptying than larger models, and the plastic build feels less durable than premium rivals.

Against the CHEBIO A16, it offers smarter controls and stronger suction, but at the same price, sacrifices dust capacity and runtime. Compared to the Shark NV360, it wins on tech and portability but lacks lift-away convenience. For tech lovers and pet owners who want total control and visibility, the Tikom V500 delivers next-gen cleaning intelligence—a digital dashboard for your floors.

Meet the corded comeback king—a vacuum that trades battery anxiety for uninterrupted, wall-powered performance. At under 9 lbs, the Shark Rocket HV301 is a featherweight with muscle, delivering consistent suction on both carpets and hardwood without fading. The swivel steering makes it feel like an extension of your arm, gliding around chair legs and tight corners with surgical precision. With fingertip surface controls, you instantly switch from deep carpet scrub to gentle bare-floor mode—no guesswork, no lag.

In daily use, it excels as a whole-home workhorse, especially in multi-room cleans where cordless models would tap out. The handheld pod detaches effortlessly, letting you clean ceilings, car interiors, or lampshades in seconds. The easy-empty dust cup is genuinely hygienic—no dust clouds—and the included upholstery, crevice, and anti-allergen tools cover nearly every surface. However, the cord management isn’t perfect, and the handheld unit lacks a wall hook, making storage slightly awkward.

Next to the Eureka WhirlWind, it offers better versatility and easier conversion, though less dust capacity. It’s pricier than the Bissell 2033 but delivers real deep-cleaning power. For those who hate recharging, need floor-to-ceiling reach, and want zero power drop, this Shark is a no-compromise workhorse—a corded classic done right.

This upright titan blends muscle, maneuverability, and smart design into one formidable machine. The lift-away pod is the star—pop it off and clean under beds, on stairs, or above furniture like a pro. With brushroll shutoff, you seamlessly switch from carpet deep-clean to bare-floor glide, protecting hardwoods without changing tools. The HEPA filter and anti-allergen seal trap 99.9% of dust and dander, making it a breath-of-fresh-air for allergy sufferers. At 0.9 quarts, the dust cup lasts longer than most uprights, reducing emptying frequency.

In practice, it dominates large homes with mixed flooring. The swivel steering keeps it nimble despite its size, and the powerful suction devours pet hair, cereal spills, and embedded dirt. However, it’s heavier than stick vacuums, and the cord rewind, while functional, isn’t as smooth as Eureka’s. The motorized brushroll struggles on ultra-thick rugs, occasionally bogging down. Still, for deep weekly cleans, it’s hard to beat.

Versus the Shark Rocket HV301, it offers larger capacity and better above-floor cleaning, but less portability. Compared to the LEVOIT LVAC-200, it’s bulkier but delivers superior carpet agitation and allergen control. For families with pets and kids who need one vacuum to rule them all, the NV360 is a premium performer worth the investment—a true cleaning command center.

Engineered for pet parents and allergy warriors, the LEVOIT LVAC-200 is a tangle-taming titan that makes daily hair battles vanish. Its tangle-resistant roller slices through fur—dog, cat, or human—without constant cleaning, a rare win in the cordless world. With up to 50 minutes of runtime, it outlasts most rivals, easily covering medium-to-large homes on a single charge. The 5-stage filtration system captures dander and micro-dust, turning it into a silent guardian for clean air. Lightweight and balanced, it feels effortless to push, even during long sessions.

On test runs, it crushed pet hair on upholstery, hardwood, and low-pile carpets, though it struggled slightly on high-pile rugs where suction dipped. The easy-empty dust bin is genuinely mess-free, and the washable filter and roller reduce long-term costs. Attachments like the 2-in-1 pet tool are thoughtful, but the lack of LED lights means dark corners stay hidden. Still, for homes where fur is forever falling, this vacuum is a daily lifesaver.

Against the CHEBIO A16, it offers longer runtime and better hair handling, but less suction power and a smaller dust cup. Compared to the Tikom V500, it lacks smart features but wins on battery endurance and pet-specific design. For those who prioritize low maintenance and allergen control, the LVAC-200 is a quiet champion—not flashy, but fiercely effective.

Tiny but mighty, the Eureka Blaze is the ultimate space-saver for compact living. At just 4 lbs, this 3-in-1 wonder transforms from stick to handheld in seconds, making it perfect for dorms, RVs, or studio apartments. The swivel steering adds surprising agility, letting it pivot around tight corners where bulkier vacuums fail. With a 2-amp motor and 240W power, it handles cereal spills, dust, and light debris with ease—especially on hard floors and low-pile rugs. The onboard crevice tool ensures you’re never unprepared.

In real use, it’s ideal for quick cleanups and spot jobs, not deep cleans. It lacks the suction for embedded dirt or thick carpets, and the small dust bin fills fast. But for grabbing crumbs from under the couch or cleaning car seats, it’s fast, light, and always ready. The washable filter keeps maintenance low, and the price makes it a no-brainer as a secondary vacuum.

Compared to the Bissell 2033, it’s lighter and more maneuverable, though slightly less powerful. It doesn’t match cordless models in runtime, but wins on instant readiness and portability. For students, travelers, or anyone tight on space, the Blaze is a compact cleaning companion that proves big features can come in small packages.
