8 Best Vacuums for All Floor Types 2025

Effortless power meets everyday practicality in the Eureka PowerSpeed, a vacuum that punches far above its weight—literally. At just 10 pounds, it’s one of the lightest uprights on the market, yet its 960-watt motor delivers consistent, robust suction across carpets, hardwood, and tile. The 5-height brush roll adjustment ensures optimal contact whether you’re deep-cleaning plush rugs or gliding over bare floors, solving the common frustration of having to switch machines for different surfaces. For homeowners tired of wrestling heavy vacuums up stairs or around furniture, this model is a game-changer in maneuverability and surface adaptability.

In real-world testing, the PowerSpeed handled transitions between floor types with ease, lifting embedded dirt from medium-pile carpet while leaving hardwood streak-free. The 2.6-liter dust cup is impressively spacious for a budget upright, reducing the need for frequent emptying during whole-home sessions. Onboard storage for the pet turbo brush, crevice tool, and dusting brush keeps attachments accessible and prevents loss. However, the suction, while strong for its class, begins to falter on high-pile rugs or when tackling dense pet hair buildup—areas where higher-end models clearly outperform.

Compared to pricier contenders like the Shark NV352, the PowerSpeed trades some deep-cleaning prowess and advanced filtration for unmatched value and simplicity. It doesn’t offer lift-away cleaning or HEPA-level allergen capture, but for renters, pet owners on a budget, or those with mostly low-to-medium pile flooring, it delivers reliable, no-fuss performance without breaking the bank. It’s the ideal pick for those who prioritize lightweight design and multi-surface reliability over premium add-ons.

Raw power meets smart design in the MOHOMO 650W cordless vacuum, a beast of a cleaner built for large homes that demand long runtimes and relentless suction. With a 55KPa pull and 650W brushless motor spinning at 210,000 rpm, this stick vacuum obliterates embedded debris, pet hair, and fine dust across all floor types. The V-shaped anti-tangle brush is a standout—its comb-like structure and dual bristle design prevent hair wrap while maintaining floor protection, a pain point for pet owners. Add in a self-standing build and 70-minute max runtime, and you’ve got a vacuum engineered for uninterrupted, whole-house cleaning marathons.

During testing, the MOHOMO excelled on both hardwood and medium-loop carpet, lifting tracked-in grime and pet fur with minimal passes. The OLED touch screen provides real-time feedback on battery and mode, making it easy to optimize cleaning strategy—switching to max mode for high-traffic zones, then stepping down for open spaces. The 1.8-liter dustbin is roomy, and the 99.99% HEPA-grade filtration ensures allergens stay trapped. However, the 4-hour charge time is lengthy, and the vacuum feels slightly front-heavy when using the motorized head, which can cause fatigue during extended sessions.

When stacked against the SUXIANGVAC B0FHH8NWJ1, the MOHOMO offers superior suction and runtime but at a higher price and weight. It’s best suited for larger households with pets and mixed flooring, where cleaning efficiency and air quality are non-negotiable. While not the lightest or most compact, it delivers pro-level performance in a self-standing, user-friendly package—a clear step up from entry-tier cordless models.

Balanced performance and smart engineering define the Iirios 600W cordless vacuum, a mid-range standout that delivers premium features without the premium price tag. Its 50KPa suction powered by a 600W motor tackles everyday messes with confidence, from cereal spills on tile to embedded pet hair in low-pile carpet. The soft and hard bristle roller brush is a clever innovation—automatically adapting cleaning intensity based on floor type, ensuring hardwood stays scratch-free while carpets get deep agitation. When paired with the 65-minute max runtime and wall-mount charging, it becomes a low-maintenance, high-efficiency solution for daily cleaning.

In practice, the Iirios handled most floor transitions smoothly, though it required a second pass on high-pile rugs to fully extract deeply buried dust. The self-standing design eliminates the need for wall brackets or leaning, making it easy to pause and resume cleaning. The LED display is clear and functional, showing battery level and alerts at a glance. However, the vacuum lacks advanced features like floor detection or anti-allergen sealing, and the filtration, while effective, isn’t HEPA-certified—limiting its appeal for allergy sufferers.

Compared to the Shark IZ376H, the Iirios offers longer runtime and a more durable roller brush but misses out on intelligent floor sensing and dirt-reveal lighting. It’s the ideal middle ground for homeowners who want strong, consistent performance across surfaces without paying for bells and whistles they won’t use. For medium to large homes with pets and mixed flooring, it delivers excellent value through reliability and thoughtful design.

Intelligent cleaning reaches new heights with the Shark PowerPro Reveal Plus, a premium cordless vacuum that redefines what’s possible across all floor types. Its FloorDetect Technology automatically senses surface changes, shifting brushroll speed from gentle hardwood mode to aggressive carpet mode—no manual adjustments needed. Even more impressive is the Dirt-Reveal LED, which illuminates hidden dust and allergens, ensuring nothing escapes notice. With HEPA filtration and an anti-allergen seal capturing 99.97% of particles, this vacuum is a breath of fresh air for allergy sufferers and perfectionists alike.

Real-world testing confirmed its dominance: it glided seamlessly from tile to shag rug, adjusting suction and brushroll speed on the fly. The self-cleaning brushroll eliminated pet hair wrap, a common pain point, and the LED headlights made cleaning under furniture effortless. While the 40-minute max runtime is shorter than some rivals, the handvac conversion and included tools make it incredibly versatile for stairs, upholstery, and cars. It does struggle slightly on ultra-thick carpets in standard mode, requiring a switch to max power for full debris extraction.

Against the MOHOMO B0F21GQ1DG, the Shark trades battery life for smarter automation and superior allergen control. It’s the best overall pick for homes with pets, kids, and mixed flooring, where cleaning precision and air quality matter most. Though it’s the most expensive in this lineup, its combination of innovation, performance, and health-focused design justifies the investment.

Power meets versatility in the Shark NV352, an upright vacuum that dominates in homes with stairs, pets, and mixed flooring. Its lift-away pod transforms it from a full-sized upright into a portable canister, making overhead cleaning and stair vacuums effortless—a feature most cordless models can’t match. The HEPA filter and anti-allergen seal trap 99.97% of dust and allergens, making it a top choice for sensitive households. With swivel steering and a brushroll shutoff, it pivots around furniture and switches from carpet to hardwood with ease, solving the clumsiness and surface limitations of traditional uprights.

In action, the NV352 delivered deep carpet cleaning and gentle bare-floor performance, thanks to the instant brushroll control. The wide upholstery tool made pet hair removal from sofas fast, and the long crevice tool reached tight corners without strain. While its corded design ensures unlimited runtime, the 25-foot cord can tangle, and the unit feels bulkier than modern stick vacuums. It’s also louder than cordless options, which may bother noise-sensitive users.

Compared to the Eureka NEU181A, the Shark offers superior filtration, maneuverability, and above-floor cleaning, though it’s heavier and less portable. It’s the best upright pick for families needing deep cleaning, pet support, and allergen control. While not as sleek as cordless models, it delivers unmatched cleaning power and flexibility for multi-level homes.

Compact brilliance with canister convenience defines the Eureka WhirlWind, a nimble, budget-friendly canister vacuum that excels in tight spaces and multi-surface homes. Weighing just 8.15 pounds, it’s one of the lightest canisters available, yet it packs a 960-watt motor that maintains strong suction across carpets, hardwood, and upholstery. The integrated airflow control on the handle lets you adjust suction on the fly—perfect for switching from bare floors to area rugs without stopping. Add in swivel steering and a telescoping metal wand, and you’ve got a vacuum that glides under furniture and up stairs with surgical precision.

During testing, the WhirlWind shined in cluttered living rooms and under-low-clearance furniture, where uprights struggle. The 2.5L bagless dust container is easy to empty with one-button release, and the washable filters eliminate ongoing costs. The 2-in-1 crevice/dusting tool stored in the hose handle is a brilliant touch—always within reach and impossible to lose. However, the suction, while adequate, lacks the oomph for deep carpet cleaning, and the lack of motorized brushroll means it can’t compete with uprights on high-pile rugs.

Next to the Shark NV352, the WhirlWind trades deep-cleaning power for portability and ease of use. It’s ideal for apartments, condos, or homes with mostly hard floors and light carpeting. For those who value lightweight design, tangle-free cleaning, and low maintenance, it’s a smart, no-frills solution that proves canister vacuums still have a place in modern homes.

Pet hair doesn’t stand a chance against the SUXIANGVAC B0FHH8NWJ1, a cordless vacuum engineered for homes dominated by shedding dogs and cats. With 46KPa suction and a V-shaped anti-tangle brushroll, it shreds through long hair and fur without clogging—a rare feat in its price range. The 5 ultra-bright LED lights on the nozzle illuminate dust under furniture, while the 6-layer HEPA filtration captures 99.99% of allergens, making it a dual threat for cleanliness and air quality. At just 5.5 pounds, it’s lightweight and handheld-ready, perfect for quick cleanups or full-home sessions.

In real use, it handled hardwood and low-pile carpet with ease, requiring only one pass for most messes. The 55-minute runtime covered homes up to 2,500 sq. ft., and the wall-mount charging kept it organized and always ready. The self-standing design adds convenience, letting you pause cleaning without propping it up. However, suction drops slightly on thick carpets, and the 1.5L dustbin, while decent, needs more frequent emptying in heavy-shedding homes.

Against the MOHOMO B0F21GQ1DG, it offers better portability and pet-specific features at half the price, though with less raw power. It’s the best pick for pet owners seeking a lightweight, anti-tangle, high-filtration vacuum. For households battling fur tumbleweeds, it delivers exceptional value and performance where it matters most.

Lightweight simplicity meets smart functionality in the VIPSUN cordless vacuum, a slim, user-friendly cleaner built for effortless daily maintenance. At under 5 pounds, it’s one of the lightest in the lineup, making it ideal for seniors, upstairs cleaning, or quick touch-ups. Despite its modest 30KPa suction, it handles dust, crumbs, and light pet hair across hardwood and low-pile carpet with surprising efficiency. The self-standing design and grab-and-go usability mean you can pause cleaning anytime—no wall brackets or leaning required—perfect for busy households.

Testing showed it performs well on hard floors and area rugs, though it struggles with deeply embedded debris in high-pile carpet. The 7-stage filtration and dual-cyclone system keep air clean and motor protected, while the battery indicator reduces anxiety during longer sessions. It converts easily to a handheld for stairs or car cleaning, and the retractable wand reduces back strain. However, the suction isn’t strong enough for whole-home deep cleans, and the lack of a motorized brushroll limits pet hair pickup.

Compared to the Iirios B0DRJJ28PK, the VIPSUN sacrifices power and runtime for unmatched lightness and ease of use. It’s best for smaller homes, elderly users, or those needing a secondary vacuum. While not a deep-cleaning powerhouse, it excels as a low-effort, always-ready solution for light, daily messes.
