Which vacuum cleaner brand is best?
Dyson, Miele, Shark, Bissell and LG are some of the most popular vacuum brands, especially for stick and corded models. But when you look at robot vacuums, brands like Roborock and Dreame spring to mind.
Colin Jones, a category expert at Appliances Online, adds that robot vacuums are a particularly competitive sub-category for brands.
“Established names known for their high-quality stick vacuums have begun expanding into the robotic vacuum cleaner market, however, we are also seeing a number of newer brands entering the market, which provide good navigation and sleek designs.”
So, there isn’t one best vacuum brand everyone will agree on. But taking a closer look at the top brands can help you choose the right one for your home.
Dyson
Dyson was founded by the inventor of bagless vacuum cleaners, James Dyson, who launched the first model in the 1980s. So it’s no wonder the brand has a strong reputation for vacuum cleaners with powerful suction, filtration and innovation.
Dyson stick and barrel/corded vacuums are particularly popular, but the brand also sells a robot vacuum and handheld models.
Recently, Dyson launched the V16 Piston Animal range, which the brand describes as “the most powerful anti-tangle cordless vacuum”. And earlier in 2025, it launched the thinnest stick vacuum on the market, the Dyson PencilVac Fluffycones. This vacuum already has over 800 global reviews on the Dyson website, and an average rating of 4.8-stars.
“It’s incredibly lightweight and easy to handle, making quick cleanups a breeze. The battery life and suction power are more than sufficient — perfect as a companion to my Dyson V12,” one customer shared in a 5-star review.

To put this in perspective, Shark vacuum recommended retail prices start from $199 for a handheld vacuum and go up to $999 for the Shark Stratos Cordless Pet Pro Vacuum Plus. In comparison, Dyson vacuums start from $449 for a handheld vacuum and go up to $1549 for stick vacuums – with the 360 Vis Nav robot vacuum retailing for $1999.
“Has very good suction, easy to use. Doesn’t take long to recharge,” one Australian shared in a 5-star review of the Shark Clean & Empty Cordless Vacuum on Amazon, where it has a 4.6-star average from a handful of ratings.
It also has a 4.5-star rating from over 45 customers on Myer, where another customer shared: “Fantastic handheld vacuum. Good suction and light.

I’m in my seventies and I find it easy and light to use,” one customer shared in a 5-star review on Appliances Online, where the CrossWave had a 4.7-star average from a handful of reviews.

Other factors to consider when choosing a new vacuum cleaner
Beyond the vacuum cleaner brand, it’s important to think about the type of vacuum and what features will have the biggest impact for your home.
Appliances Online category expert Colin Jones told Better Homes & Gardens it’s good idea to “take into account the layout of your home, whether it is single-storey or double-storey.”
“For some people, moving a large vacuum cleaner from room to room or carrying it upstairs can be a challenge, especially since some models are quite heavy,” he said.
Other factors include:
- The type of flooring in your home (hardwood, tiles, carpet, rugs or mixed flooring)
- Whether you have pets
- The type of furniture and features you want to vacuum around
- If there are special areas you want to vacuum, such as ceilings, windowsills, the car etc
- If you want a floor cleaner that mops as well
So the vacuum cleaner brand could be a starting point for choosing a model. Or you could go the other way and focus on a type of vacuum, then choose one from a brand you want.
