Product Information

Manufactured by a company that prides itself on its high ethical and environmental standards, the vacuum consists of parts are almost all replaceable, and the company offsets its carbon footprint with each sale. If you want a cordless vacuum that is more likely to last and less likely to end up in the landfill, choose either of our two top picks, both of which have replaceable batteries and other parts.

The Shark also tends to get bogged down on thick carpeting; if that's a problem, the Miele Triflex HX1 is a good alternative, even if it has a smaller dustbin and a shorter battery life.

The DS4095’s ability to effectively pick up fur and debris nearly matches that of the Dyson V12 Detect Slim.

Its combination tool allowed for quick switching between a wide nozzle and a brush; we found the brush particularly handy for dusting bookshelves and windowsills.The auto mode is particularly helpful, as the dust sensor detects dirt and triggers increased suction power when necessary; for example, in our tests the V12 Detect Slim regularly went into boost mode near a cat litter box.

We also examined other sources of delight or dismay, including the dustbin emptying process, the vacuum’s ability to stand up on its own, and the presence of any extras such as a headlight or an LCD screen.We paid special attention to each cleaner head, ruling out models without a motorized brush roll, because suction and airflow alone can’t remove dirt. Plus, they boast longer run times, more attachments, more innovative features and are better able to zap pet hair and clean along edges than models of just a few years ago. Although it has a very good overall performance, it doesn't perform as well as the Dyson V15 Detect on any surface type. This design can feel uncomfortable to use, and we found ourselves switching hands frequently while vacuuming.
