The options below from our fave brands like Dyson, eufy, and Shark are Amazon bestsellers that honest reviews say clean up even the most stubborn of messes—including thick dog hair, excess dirt from a house full of kids, and hard-to-reach dust. (Plus, Prime shipping!) Cleaning can be a drag, but doing it with these hi-tech vacuums makes it So. Much. Easier.

Ahead, find the best vacuums on Amazon for any type of mess and any type of floor.

Of course, we had to include a robot vacuum—because who doesn’t love hands-free cleaning?! This device boasts two hours of battery life and a super sleek design. It even connects to your phone via an app that’ll create a visual layout of your home with specific rooms and no-go zones. Plus, reviewers love that it's pretty quiet compared to other vacuums and requires no manual labor to use.

THE REVIEWS: “This one has some really fantastic features. The first being that you can change the suction power per room. That means that a room with carpet can have a different suction power than the rooms with wood floors. Next, for people with long-haired pets, this vacuum will not only empty itself, but it will also clean the rollers and cut off the hair from the rollers. And for any pet owner that has had to sit and cut the hair off the vacuum roller bar, this is a game changer.”

If your floors are in need of a vacuum that does it all, let us introduce you to this high-tech option from Dyson. The cordless vacuum has four different attachments, a super powerful suction, and can remove dirt on any type of flooring. Plus, the Fluffy Optic cleaner head illuminates small specs and dust that you wouldn’t even realize are there! Deep cleans just got *so* much easier thanks to this multi-use cleaner.

THE REVIEWS: “I was very impressed with this vacuum, I was so skeptical because of the price but I bit the bullet and did it. And I’m glad I did! We have four dogs. Yes four. I specifically bought this for the attachment to clean the couch and chairs. Man am I glad I did. I couldn’t believe what it picked up! All I can say is WOW!”

Tight on space? This sleek and compact nine-pound baby is incredibly easy to store because the handheld portion can be detached, and the vacuum is self-standing. The bright LED lights are also a must-have for hard-to-see dirt in hard-to-reach places. Reviewers also looove the flexible swivel and low-profile design on this one—it makes vacuuming under furniture a breeze!THE

REVIEWS: “Why didn't I get this sooner. Lightweight, powerful. Makes vacuuming easy and quick. Love that it has a light and swivels to get into corners. Even goes under the bed..and it's white! Perfect for my tile floors and no more annoying cord to get in the way.”

If you’ve ever been appalled by copious amounts of clumps of hair and dirt on your floor, then this is *the* vacuum for you. Not only does the under-$200 device have a specific attachment to tackle pet hair, but it also comes with a crevice attachment that makes sucking up debris on shelves and under furniture an absolute breeze.

THE REVIEWS: “I love, love, love this vacuum. It’s so easy to put together and handle. It's amazing how much easier it is to use without a cord dragging along behind you or always having to move the cord to one side or the other. It charges quickly and does not take up much storage room. I have 2 dogs that shed and this powerful vacuum picks up the hair with no problem and the brush does not get clogged.”

Multi-surface powerful suction, plus a detachable nozzle and technology that traps allergens and dust inside the vacuum makes this top-rated vacuum perfect for people with pets or allergies.

THE REVIEWS: "I love this vacuum. I've had expensive vacuums before... and hated them from the second or third use. I've had cheapo vacuums that worked for a bit but crapped out within a few months. I have never enjoyed vacuuming. I always vacuumed as little as ~absolutely~ necessary. With the Shark Navigator, I actually enjoy vacuuming," writes one reviewer. "I mean, I'm still not doing it for fun ;) but I'm also not actively avoiding it! I end up vacuuming the whole house anytime it's out just because it's actually not an insufferable chore with the Shark."

If you've got mostly hardwood floors, consider this compact cordless one, which features a powerful suction vacuum and a debris-absorbing spray mop in one. Oh, and don't worry—dirty pads can be removed with the touch of a button, so you don't have to touch them at all.

THE REVIEWS: "I recently bought the Shark Vacmop and my initial impression is very positive! I like how it scrubs the floor while also picking up small debris," writes one reviewer. "What’s great about the Vacmop is you get to put whichever cleaning fluid you like to and don’t have to go to the store to get refill bottles! I usually put a mixture of Pinesol and warm water, it does the trick! I also was impressed by the weight of Vacmop. It's very easy to maneuver and not bulky. I have used it for small messes and kids bringing dirt into the house on their shoes as well as cleaning entire floors of my house. Highly recommend trying the Vacmop, I am positive you will be impressed just like I was."

This under-$200 pick allows you to switch between a vacuum to capture dirt and debris, a steamer to eliminate germs and bacteria, or both at the same time (!!!) with the touch of a button.

THE REVIEWS: "Dude.... game changer. Throw your mop away. Throw out your mop, your broom, your husband, everything!!!! I have a lot of moving bodies in this house. I also have 100 percent hardwood floors on multiple levels of the house. There’s a one-eyed cat here, a pit bull, a bearded dragon, three small humans, and a husband. This thing makes my house look like I’ve lived here for 80 years, by myself, knitting on my couch and not moving the entire time," writes one reviewer. "Trust me you won’t regret buying this. As far as the amount of steam, I think we’re used to seeing a bunch of steam pouring out of the top of our old steam mops. This literally pushes all the steam against the floor. Don’t underestimate it."

If you're sick of having to empty your handheld vacuum all the freaking time, add this one—which features a surprisingly large (and washable!) dirt bowl—to your cart.

THE REVIEWS: "I've only had this product a few days, but so far it's great. It has good suction and comes with two attachments (a brush and a crevice tool). The wall mount is really convenient too (you do need a drill to install it)," writes one reviewer. "I have limited counter space in my house, so getting it off surfaces really helps declutter."

With a name like Dirt Devil, you should expect the best of the best from this vacuum—and it delivers. Features include full 180-degree movement swivel steering and a quick-release extension wand for 10 feet of extra reach, just to name a few.

THE REVIEWS: "Most amazing vacuum ever! If you have a dog that sheds profusely like mine, you need this! My dog doesn't shed little hairs, she sheds big black fuzz balls... the kind that is usually harder to vacuum up. What's also great is that it's super light, and so convenient as far as emptying and using the wand, and just in general," one reviewer writes.

Reviewers say the powerful brush combined with the "insane suction" will actually fluff your carpet and make it look brand-spankin' new.

THE REVIEWS: "I bought this because I moved to a new place after a divorce and I didn't get the 'shared' vacuum in the divorce. (I'll blame my divorce attorney for that transgression!)," writes one reviewer. "This is a fine, if not an entirely heavy household necessity—I'm able to make those 'newly-vacuumed triangles' on my wall-to-wall carpeting. Easy to dump the stuff out, too."

The extra-large dirt cup makes this vacuum perfect for those all-day spring cleaning sessions because you won't have to empty it very often. It's specifically designed to tackle all of your pet-related cleaning problems, including stubborn dog hair and dirt on furniture.

THE REVIEWS: "Best vacuum I've ever owned. This vacuum is AMAZING. I vacuumed with my old vacuum, then let my Roomba vacuum, and immediately after I vacuumed with this one," one reviewer writes. "I had 3/4 of a dirt bin full of dust and dirt. My carpets and rugs are completely rejuvenated."

This lil gadget pivots up to 200 degrees to make cleaning any and every top shelf easy peasy.

THE REVIEWS: "Portability and power is great. It's encouraged my 5-year-old son to clean hard-to-reach places in his room and around the house. Functionally it changes angle which is easier to get between cushions," writes one reviewer. "Cleanups are simple with the side door, but sometimes long debris like grass, straw, and dry spaghetti noodles, get stuck in the spot between the snorkel and have to be manipulated out which is a hassle but it works well in spite of that. The battery lasts about 20-25 minutes."

Since no two homes are the same, everyone’s vacuum needs are going to vary! So, when shopping for a vacuum it’s important to consider factors like the size of your rooms, type of flooring, and what features you’re gonna need to get your house looking brand spanking new!

If you have a larger home with lots of carpets and rugs, a corded vacuum with unlimited power might be the best choice (so your battery doesn’t run out mid-clean). If you’re cleaning a smaller space consisting of mostly hardwood floors and lots of furniture, a cordless and flexible vacuum would be best. And if you’re looking for a maintenance clean, we recommend a robot vacuum so it can automatically clean while you do other things (like relax or just generally live life)!

If you’re looking for a deeper clean, you should def invest in a vacuum with some extra attachments. If you want to get into those nooks and crannies that have lots of pesky dust and hairballs, you should make sure your pick has a longer crevice attachment. This extender is great for reaching under furniture and on top of shelves. Many vacuums also have pet-specific attachments which are designed to pick up shedded fur. And a brush attachment is best for cleaning off cushions, car seats, and other pieces of furniture (especially those covered in fabric). Many of our fave picks have multiple attachments, so take a look and decide which attachments fit your needs!

Aside from attachments, vacuums have a bunch of added features that are designed to make cleaning a *little* more enjoyable. In order to catch minuscule pieces of dirt and dust, many devices have built-in lights that illuminate hidden messes. Another important feature is hands-free emptying, so you can discard your debris without making another mess around the trash can (because that would defeat the purpose of allll the cleaning you just did!).
