What we do
VacVerdict reviews vacuum cleaners: robot vacuums, cordless sticks, uprights, canisters, handhelds and wet-dry vacs. Each one gets a clear verdict (Buy, Consider or Skip), a score out of 10, who it's for, who should look elsewhere and what to buy instead.
We think the most useful thing a review can do is help you rule products out. That's why we publish low scores and Skip verdicts too.
How we evaluate products
Most of our reviews are research-based. We work from manufacturer specs and manuals, independent lab tests and long-term reports from owners, and weigh them against each other. When we test a vacuum hands-on, we say so and show what we did. We never claim testing that didn't happen, and every review is labeled with how it was evaluated.
Every model is scored with the same weighted method. Read how we review.
How we make money
VacVerdict is reader-supported. When you buy through a link on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission at no extra cost to you. Commissions never change a verdict, and brands can't pay for coverage, placement or scores. Read our affiliate disclosure.
We don't show prices, because they change daily. Our links take you to the retailer, where you can check the current price.
Corrections
If you spot a mistake, such as a wrong spec, an outdated fact or a broken link, please tell us. We fix errors and update the date on the page.
