How we test handheld vacuum cleaners

Carpet cleaning

How we test carpet cleaning

This score shows how well this handheld vacuum cleaner sucks up dust and small debris from Wilton carpet. The best models will suck up almost everything in their path, while others can suck up less than 10% of it.

Ease of Use

How we test ease of use

The overall ease of use score takes account of the manoeuvrability, ease of maintenance and versatility of each machine. Our ease of use tests make up 22.5% of the total test score compared with 75% for suction performance and 2.5% for noise. We evaluate how easy each machine is to use in a real car, at various heights, on stairs and how easy each machine is to empty, clean and maintain.

Hard floor cleaning

How we test hard floor cleaning

How well this handheld vacuum cleaner sucks up dust and debris from hard floors. The best models have no trouble sucking up bits of various sizes, and the worst struggle to lift anything and clog up easily during use.

Allergen retention

How we test allergen retention

Allergen retention is how well each vacuum retains the fine dust and allergens that it sucks up. The best (four or five-star rated) can trap nearly all of these fine particles within the machine and so are very suitable for allergy sufferers.

Pet hair

How we test pet hair

For the pet hair test we comb real cat and dog hair into carpet and time how long it takes to suck it up, with the worst models leaving hair behind even after two full minutes of continuous cleaning.

Fibre removal

How we test fibre removal

We test how quickly a vacuum will vlean upholstery of short fluff and fibres.

Noise

How we test noise

The noisiest vacuums make a similar din to a busy road, while the quietest will allow you to carry on your conversation.
