About The Vacuum List

The Vacuum List is a comparison database for vacuums: 279 models across 45 brands and 9 machine types — robots, cordless sticks, uprights, canisters, and hard floor washers — from $40 basics to $1,988 flagships. It exists because vacuum research is miserable. The specs are scattered across manufacturer pages that all claim to be revolutionary, suction numbers aren't even measured in the same units, and the honest information lives in thousand-comment owner threads. This site squeezes all of it into one sortable table.

Specs come from manufacturer documentation, prices are approximate snapshots, and the pros, cons, and owner insights on each model page are distilled from public owner discussions and long-term reviews. We don't run a test lab, and we won't pretend to. When enough owners complain that a dock is enormous or an app is a maze of nested menus, that goes in the cons.

The full methodology — where every number comes from, why star ratings are rare here, how the lists are ordered, and how the site makes money — lives on How we compare.

The catalog was last refreshed on September 4, 2026. New models get added, prices get corrected, and discontinued vacuums get flagged as we notice them. If something looks off — a dead model, a stale price — that's a data bug, not an ad.
