The 10 best models in comparison

With or without a bag? Cordless or canister vacuum cleaner? Many people ask themselves these questions when buying a vacuum cleaner. In our weekly ranking we show you the ten different devices in comparison.

Buying a vacuum cleaner is now about more than just vacuuming up dirt. Watt numbers hardly play any role anymore, as they have been limited to a maximum of 900 watts by the EU eco-design guidelines.

Many people are therefore interested in other features: Can the device also clean carpets? How high is the power consumption? How much space does the vacuum take up? And: Does it remove animal hair?

The best cordless vacuum cleaners and canister vacuum cleaners in comparison

Stiftung Warentest took a closer look at the best-selling canister and cordless vacuum cleaners. In an extensive practical test, the consumer organization determined how well the devices can clean carpets, hard floors and upholstery, how loud they are and how much electricity they use. The selected cordless vacuum cleaners were also examined in terms of running time and power loss.

Blowing out dust that has been sucked in is also included in the analysis. But: “We experienced unpleasant surprises with individual models in this test,” says Stiftung Warentest. In the following ranking we show you the ten best cylinder vacuum cleaners and cordless vacuum cleaners in comparison.

The Dyson Cinetic Big Ball Multi Floor 2 comes in tenth place in the comparison Quality rating 3.6. The bagless vacuum cleaner scored “very good” in the safety category. However, the environmental properties and handling reduced the result with satisfactory ratings. Stiftung Warentest was not convinced by the suction properties at all. Verdict: “sufficient”.
