We’ve kept busy over the last few decades personally using virtually every vacuum cleaner manufactured in the United States. When we say we’ve used them all, we mean it; whether on a personal or on a professional level, when you run a cleaning business, sooner or later, you get a chance to try everything while figuring out the best tools for the job. We’ve done jobs in trailer parks, five star hotels, governor mansions, and everywhere in between. We’d like to think this gives our reviews something you won’t find in most others.

This is a summary of all the vacuum cleaner reviews we’ve found the time to write up so far. If there’s a vacuum you’d like to see tested that’s not on this list, let us know; we keep busy.

Note: If you simply want the best of the best cleaners, our all star reviews are here. Our collection of carpet cleaner reviews is here.
