5 Best Vacuum Cleaners 2019 – Reviews of Top Rated Vacuums

The Shark Navigator Lift-Away from SharkNinja is named so to describe how it allows you to detach or “lift away” the body of the vacuum from its base. This design is very convenient because you can use it as a canister vacuum for high corners instead of having to be weighed down by its heavy base.

The lift-away design also means that you can use this to clean the interiors of your car. There is another lift-away model that can do this, but that is a lot more expensive than this one.

SharkNinja uses “never loses suction” cyclonic technology for this vacuum. Just like other modern vacuum cleaners, this model has a washable foam filter and a HEPA filter so if you have allergies, this is a great budget option.

The swivel steering is very helpful. It greatly improves the ease of use and maneuverability, which makes this model a good choice if you tend to have problems with mobility.

The only gripes we think you may have are that first, this model does not have a caddy that holds everything together and the power cord is a little shorter than that of other Shark models.

We like the Dyson V7 motorhead vacuum mainly because of its light weight and sleek design. This model does not take up too much space, which makes it a good option for condos, dorms, and other residences with limited space.

The cordless V7 is also unique because it serves as a sort of middle ground between handheld and upright vacuums. The price is not bad; it is right in the middle of cheap vacuums and the extremely expensive ones.

It comes with many modular tools that can be attached and detached easily. In a nutshell, you can use the V7 for any part of the house and even your car.

On one full charge, the V7 can run for about half an hour on standard settings. The suction power is nearly similar to that in higher-end Dyson models. In our opinion, this is substantially valuable.

Miele Compact C2 Electro+ is ideal if you are willing to invest in a vacuum cleaner that has been proven to be quite powerful on both bare and carpeted flooring. This model is relatively expensive, but it is actually the cheapest one that has the manufacturer’s powered floor brush, a carpet tool designed to work on all types of carpets.

Because it works so well on soft carpets and low- and high-pile carpets, it is even recommended by some soft carpet sellers and manufacturers. It also comes with a parquet floor brush, which can be used even on delicate premium hardwood floors.

If you have premium flooring material that you want thoroughly cleaned but at the same time protected, you may benefit from using this machine.

One of its key features is its sealed 12-stage air clean filter system. With an Air Clean FilterBag and an HEPA-certified filter, the C2 can reportedly retain up to 99.99% of particles measuring as small as 0.3 micron.

Another thing we love about Miele’s vacuum cleaner is its telescoping wand, which is made of stainless steel. It does feel strong and sturdy, so your dollars may go a very long way with this model.

There are also numerous features here that may appear small at first but really make a difference over time. For example, the C2 has a “bag full” indicator, which tells you if the bag needs changing.

The capacity of the self-sealing dust bags is 3.7 quarts, which is fairly sizable in our opinion.

Miele’s C2 does not have a lot of reported issues. A lot of times, its wide handle grip gets criticized for being too big for small hands, making maneuvering difficult. The brush is also a little loud.

In general, we still see the C2 as a worthy item on this list. It is disproportionately more expensive than its contenders, but we believe that its formidable price tag is well justified.

The DEEBOT N79 is a robotic vacuum cleaner from ECOVACS. Like all things robotic, this one has quickly gained attention on e-commerce sites and continues to sell to hundreds or thousands of consumers wanting to make their cleaning a lot less difficult.

​For a robotic vacuum cleaner, the DEEBOT N79 is midpriced. It is not as expensive as those that have been around for a much longer time, but it is not cheap either.

Like other budget robotic vacuum cleaners, the DEEBOT N79 does not have high-end features, such as high-capacity batteries and camera-based navigation. In fact, all it comes with are a spare filter, a cleaning tool, a remote, a charger, and two additional brushes.

This vacuum cleaner cleans well when it cleans. We say it like that because it either picks up dirt well or does not get rid of it at all. Also, the DEEBOT N79 can sometimes have difficulty transitioning from low (bare floor) to high (carpeted surface) because of its design.

All in all, we think that the DEEBOT N79 is a good budget robot vacuum. It is still not the best robot available on the market today but still offers a lot of value for money.

If you are looking for a very cheap vacuum cleaner, we think it is safe to recommend the Dirt Devil Simpli-Stik corded, bagless stick vacuum. This model is noticeably very light, weighing just around 3.4 lbs, so you can bring it nearly anywhere and taking it upstairs should not be too much work.

The brush roll fitted in the Simpli-Stik is good at getting rid of pet hair and dry debris on bare floors. It can clean on carpeted floors as well, which is great because you rarely ever see homes nowadays that have purely bare or carpeted floors alone.

The Simpli-Stik can also be converted easily to a hand vacuum. You remove the floor nozzle and the handle. Meanwhile, the crevice tool can be stored in the handle when not attached to the hand vacuum.

The only things you may have issues with are the power cord, which is a little shorter than that of common corded models, and its super light body, which tends to make it feel flimsy at times.

Overall, this vacuum cleaner from Dirt Devil is a practical option for those with small spaces, such as dorms or condos, and do not have special requirements. The Simpli-Stik pretty much has all the standards covered!
