Our Approach to Vacuum Cleaner Reviews

You can’t rely on a manufacturer’s claims to judge a vacuum cleaner. That’s why we’ve designed an extensive review process that involves assessing the vacuum on multiple types of floor, verifying manufacturer claims, checking how easy the vacuum is to use around the home, and comparing its performance to similar models.

Once we understand the vacuum’s strengths and weaknesses, we give it a rating in several categories. The final score of the vacuum is the average of these ratings. You may want to read our reviews of the Shark WV200UK and Miele Complete C2 PowerLine as examples of how we review vacuums.

You’re probably wondering how we rate each model. Here’s a list of some of the factors we consider:

Price
Suction power and motor reliability
Cleaning performance (carpets, stairs, hard floors, and pet hair)
Battery life (for cordless models)
Dirt capacity
Filter system
Ease of use
Weight and size
Warranty

While it’s not possible to devise a universal rating system, due to the differences between various types of vacuum such as upright or robotic, we try to be as consistent as possible when judging a model. Even so, we recommended reading reviews in full so you have a deeper understanding of the advantages and drawbacks of a certain model.
