The 5 Best Vacuum Cleaners With Good Suction - Black Friday 2020 Reviews

The Miele Complete C3 Alize PowerLine is the best vacuum with good suction for bare floors that we've tested. This canister model offers outstanding performance on bare floors. It can pick up pet hair as well as small and large debris without a problem.

It has a suction power adjustment feature that can be set to one of seven different levels, which is handy if you have a couple of rugs or carpets covering your bare floors. Thanks in part to this feature, it also delivers great performance on low-pile carpet as well as shaggy, high-pile carpet. You can use it in a semi-handheld mode if you need to get hard-to-reach places too, and its handle has an LED light so that you can clean shadowy areas more easily. It's very easy to maintain as well.

Unfortunately, it has a couple of recurring costs, including its dirtbag. Luckily, the dirtbag is quite large and can hold a lot of debris before it needs to be replaced. This vacuum also has an okay range, but some users may find its hose length to be a little short. That said, it offers a versatile and powerful overall performance that's great for tackling laminate or linoleum flooring. It's among the best hardwood vacuums we've tested as well.

The best vacuum cleaner with good suction for carpet that we've tested is the Dyson Ball Animal 2. This upright does a fantastic job on low as well as high-pile carpet as it can pick up most per hair as well as small and large debris. You can also use it in a semi-handheld configuration so that you can get into crevices and other narrow areas.

Its head can automatically adapt itself to the surface type it's cleaning, which helps it deliver an outstanding performance on all surface types, including bare floors. Thanks to its ball design, it has good maneuverability when you need to move it around. Dyson also includes several accessories, including a dedicated pet grooming tool as well as more traditional brushes for cleaning upholstery or delicate objects like lampshades. Maintenance is somewhat easy too and it has virtually no recurring costs, as its filters are designed to be washable while it also uses a bagless design.

Unfortunately, it has a plasticky build quality and its parts lack easy-clip mechanisms, so it can be a little tricky to put pieces together or to take them apart. It also has a bulky design which some may find a bit heavy to carry around. That said, if you're looking for a powerful clean on carpet, this is also among the best vacuums for high-pile carpet that we've tested.

The Eureka Mighty Mite is the best budget vacuum cleaner with good suction that we've tested. If you're looking for a powerful model on a budget, it can easily clean pet hair and debris from bare floors. It also maintains a great performance on low-pile carpet, like the inside of your car.

Although it's entirely made from plastic and it feels a bit cheap, it's quite lightweight and portable. There's a slip ring on its hose that you can open or close to adjust its suction level. You can also reconfigure it by removing part of its wand and attaching one of its tools like its combination hard bristle brush and upholstery tool to clean different surface types more effectively. It offers good performance on high-pile carpet, although it struggles a bit more to pick up small and large debris. It's outstandingly easy to maintain, too.

Unfortunately, its cord and hose lengths aren't very long, so you may need to change electrical outlets to clean a large room. Its disposable dirtbag is also a source of recurring costs as it needs to be replaced when full. That said, the dirtbag is quite large, so you most likely won't need to empty it very often. If you're shopping for the best vacuums for suction on a budget, it's a suitable choice.
