How We Tested
Our team tested 18 cordless vacuums across 6 weeks of real-world cleaning. We evaluated suction power using standardized debris tests on hardwood, carpet, and tile. Battery life was measured under consistent use patterns, and we assessed weight, maneuverability, and noise levels during extended sessions.
Dyson V15 Detect
The Dyson V15 Detect revolutionized cordless vacuums with its laser dust detection technology. A green laser illuminates microscopic dust particles invisible to the naked eye, while the LCD screen shows real-time particle counts. The 240 AW suction power handles everything from fine dust to large debris. The piezo sensor automatically adjusts power based on dust concentration, optimizing battery life.
- Laser reveals hidden dust
- Strongest suction in testing
- Intelligent auto power adjustment
- Premium price
- Heavy at 6.8 lbs
Samsung Bespoke Jet
Samsung's Bespoke Jet offers the convenience of self-emptying with its All-in-One Clean Station. After each use, the vacuum docks and empties debris into a sealed bag that only needs changing every 2-3 months. Digital Inverter Motor delivers 210 AW suction, while the 5-layer filtration captures 99.999% of dust. The swappable battery system provides unlimited runtime.
- Self-emptying dock included
- Swappable battery for extended runtime
- Excellent filtration
- Dock requires floor space
- Replacement bags add ongoing cost
Tineco Pure ONE S15
The Tineco Pure ONE S15 brings premium features to the mid-range market. iLoop smart sensor technology adjusts suction in real-time based on debris detection - similar to Dyson's system at half the price. The LED display shows battery life and cleaning mode. At under $400, it offers the best value for those who want intelligent cleaning without the premium price.
- Smart suction at budget price
- Lightweight at 5.7 lbs
