Buying a new vacuum cleaner can be a confusing proposition. There are a variety of models, brands and styles to choose from. Each claims to be the best for cleaning up pet hair, and to keep families tidy. And they come in costs that range from under $100 to well over $1,000. You need to consider more than just how easy the vacuum cleaner is to use as well as the number of equipment it comes with and how powerful its suction. Think about the surfaces you’ll be vacuuming and how your home is organized. Also , consider whether you would prefer bags, bagless, corded, or cordless model.

The Good Housekeeping Institute Cleaning Lab will be able to help. We’re especially interested in vacuum cleaners as a segment. We’re constantly receiving new samples to test and, as a member of the ASTM International F11 Cleaner Committee, we meet and communicate twice per year with engineers and technical experts from every brand to develop and shape the vacuum cleaner test standards we all use to assess efficiency, user-friendliness, durability and more.
