How to choose a vacuum cleaner or robot vacuum
Type of vacuum. A robot cleans floors every day without effort, but it usually cannot reach stairs, corners or upholstery. A cordless stick vacuum is handy for quick cleaning in any room, while a corded model needs no battery charging and suits larger areas.
Dust container. Most of the models with this specification in our range are bagless (251), with some using dust bags (87) and some combined (26). A bagless bin saves you buying bags, but emptying it releases dust. A bag is more hygienic, which is why allergy sufferers often prefer it.
Robot navigation and mopping. Robots with a laser sensor (LiDAR) or camera plan a route and clean a room in rows, while simpler ones move at random. If you have rugs, check that the robot detects carpet and can climb door thresholds. A self-emptying station reduces how often you need to empty the bin by hand.
Battery and spare parts. The runtime of a cordless vacuum depends heavily on the suction mode, so for a large flat it is worth choosing a model with a replaceable battery. Filters, brushes and bags need replacing, so make sure they are easy to find before you buy. The Accessories subcategory is meant for such items.

Frequently asked questions
Can a robot vacuum replace a regular vacuum cleaner?
Usually not. A robot keeps hard floors and rugs clean from day to day, but it will not clean corners, stairs or furniture. Many people run the robot daily and use a hand-held or stick vacuum now and then.
Is a bagged or bagless vacuum better?
It depends on your habits. A bagless vacuum saves you the cost of bags, while a bagged one keeps the dust sealed when you dispose of it, which is easier for allergy sufferers.
What vacuum should I choose for a home with pets?
Choose a model with a strong brush head that is easy to clean, since pet hair wraps around brushes quickly. A robot helps pick up shed hair every day, and a cordless stick vacuum is handy for furniture and stairs.
What is the difference between a cordless and a corded vacuum?
A cordless vacuum runs on a battery, so you can clean without a cable, but its runtime is limited. A corded model runs without interruption and generally suits larger areas or more thorough cleaning.
