Top 10 Carpet and Floor Cleaners
for December 2022

The only true 3-in-1 vacuum cleaner we tested, this one sprays water to boot! It's very good on hardwood, but the floor brush is disappointing, and there's a battery drainage problem.

The Roborock JM8022A vacuum and mop robot performs each task well. The mop makes short work of hard floors, and the suction is strong enough for carpets. We like the included cleaning tablets, which dissolve in water and help make vacuuming easier.

The large-capacity, 41-ounce reusable filter bag holds more debris than Hoover's competitors, and comes with a convenient pull-out handle so you can empty it easier.

The wet and dry vacuum is handy, effective and reasonably priced. The carpet cleaner is relatively lightweight, easy to maneuver, and simple enough for anyone to use.

This lightweight handheld vacuum is a good choice for anyone looking for a lightweight handheld cleaner that doesn't disappoint.

Small, lightweight, and maneuverable, the Eureka PowerSpeed Turbo Spotlight has a flexible hose to reach places other home vacuums couldn't. However, it doesn't offer much suction power on hard floors, and it only works on bare floors and carpet with a flat beater brush attachment.

This versatile carpet cleaner is great for both carpet and tile. It cleaned well on both carpet and hard floor surfaces, but missed picking up a few tough stains.

This carpet cleaner cleans faster, has more cleaning features, and is lighter and less expensive than similarly equipped machines.

This cordless stick vacuum is portable, powerful, and very versatile. It offers good dust pickup and picks up fine dirt, pet hair and carpet fuzz with ease. But it lacks a cleaning head with direct suction for small messes.

Get the job done with one machine, this lightweight, powerful corded vacuum can clean both carpets and hard floors. Many corded models aren't powerful enough to clean carpeted stairs, but this one does.
