Whether you hate vacuuming or find it a welcome distraction, we can all agree on one thing: it’s important to have a vacuum cleaner that can clean quickly and efficiently, providing all of the tools that we’ll need to get into every nook and cranny. Needs differ between people and households, but here we have a list of the best plug-in vacuum cleaners to suit everyone.
We’ve focussed on just the plug-in vacuum cleaners in this list, but you can check out our guide to the best cordless vacuum cleaners if you want something battery powered. While cordless cleaners may be getting more powerful, and there are models suitable for whole-home cleaning, the humble plug-in cleaner still deserves a place in many homes. Not least, because these vacuum cleaners run at higher suction levels by default and they never run out of battery, so you can clean for as long as you want.
We also review wet and dry vacuum cleaners. These are generally cylinder cleaners and suck dirt into a bag, but they can have a filter added that lets them suck up wet mess, too. These are really designed for mucky jobs, such as DIY.
Upright cleaners are a little neater, combining everything into a single body. Just plug them in, lean them back and start pushing. We rate all vacuum cleaners based on how easy and comfortable they are to use and point out who they’d be good for.
Suction power is important for any vacuum cleaner. We measure power in airwatts (AW), which is a mark of efficiency based on the suction ability and airflow (the higher the better). Simply listing suction power alone doesn’t tell the true story, so be wary of reviews and specs that quote this.
Suction power alone doesn’t tell you everything about cleaning quality, as many cleaners now use rotating floor brushes that agitate dirt, and therefore require less overall suction power. As a general rule, a plug-in cleaner with a powered floor head should generate over 200AW, one without a standard floor head should generate 300AW or more.
Wet and dry vacuum cleaners are a different beast again, and are even more powerful so that they can suck up water and the kind of debris you’d get from DIY jobs. Expect these to get to around 400AW.
Raw power is an indication of quality, but we use real-world tests to see how well each vacuum performs. We test their ability to pick up dirt from carpet and hard floors, and how well the floor head cleans to the edge of the rooms, using a single pass. The reason for this is that the best vacuum cleaners should be able to tackle any mess quickly, without multiple sweeps.
As this list is about form, we’ve listed plug-in vacuum cleaners at a wide range of prices for all budgets, with each review clearly explaining where a product is good and any flaws it might have.
