wired.com Nena Farrell 2025-10-06 04:03:00

Honorable Mentions We haven't tried a vacuum yet that we absolutely hate. These ones below are solid vacuums, and in some cases are much cheaper than our top picks, but we didn't like them as much. Bissell IconPet Turbo Edge for $200: Bissell's OG stick vacuum is a popular model that's been around for a while. It does a good job picking up hair and cat litter, and easily turns into a handheld vac too. The battery lasts a little longer, but former WIRED reviewer Medea Giordano wasn't impressed

Robot vacuums that can both mop and sweep your floors have improved significantly in recent years.

That sounds completely incorrect until you fact-check its star and realize that yes, Daredevil premiered on Netflix in April 2015.

Robot vacuums are impressive devices that will clean your floors well without complaining (much). As prices have dropped, these busy little bots have become less of a luxury and more of a necessity.
