TOP 17 best vertical vacuum cleaners for home

Vacuum cleaners have evolved over a century. Today, full-fledged cyclonic vacuum cleaners are still relevant. But they are stepped on their heels by compact wireless verticals. Their main advantages are small dimensions, convenient use and autonomy.

At the same time, in terms of power, they are still inferior to conventional, wired ones, but this does not prevent them from adequately cope with light everyday cleaning. The engine remains the key influencing factor. Top models are equipped with brushless motors - powerful, quiet, durable.

These vacuum cleaners are quite expensive, but even among them there are decent options at an affordable price. There are also good vacuum cleaners for those on a limited budget. Most often they are equipped with old-style engines, do not have additional functionality, are inferior in autonomy, but they do a good job of cleaning. Several of these models were included in this rating based on the high ratings of users and experts, but as expected they are in the second 5. The first contains innovative vacuum cleaners with powerful inverter motors and other advantages.

TOP 10 Best Cordless Upright Vacuum Cleaners

Xiaomi Jimmy JV53

The winner of the rating was a newcomer to the market, which in a few months conquered hundreds of thousands of users around the world with its performance. In the Russian Federation, sales of this vacuum cleaner started at the beginning of this year. Despite this, he already has his fans in our country. A brief overview provides an understanding of the reasons for high demand:

1. brushless motor (100,000 rpm) - quiet and durable.
2. suction power 125 Aut. At the moment, only Dyson V11 is more powerful, but it also costs several times more.
3. Large-diameter flexible brush with a combination of hard and soft fibers for better cleaning and polishing results.
4. A large number of attachments.
5. Dual-Cyclonic filtration system. The efficiency of the air purification system reaches 99%.
6. Effective removal of dust mites from furniture with a special nozzle.
7. Removable battery. Simple battery replacement, with a new one, in case of failure, unlike the Dyson V11 Absolute and Xiaomi JIMMY JV71 models, whose owners will need special skills or the help of service center specialists.
8. You can purchase a second battery and increase the autonomy of the device.
9. RF certification.

pros

• Price;
• Ergonomics - convenient location of control buttons, telescopic tube;
• Complete set (nozzle with an electric brush for the floor; nozzle with a small electric brush; large and small slotted nozzles, nozzle with a brush for furniture and clothes, wall mount);
• Quality of cleaning with minimal dust in the air;
• Brushless motor;
• Powerful removable battery - up to 45 minutes of battery life;
• certification in the Russian Federation;
• Detailed instructions in Russian with intuitive schemes.

Minuses:

• the impossibility of vertical parking without the use of wall mounts;
• Translation of the instruction into Russian is incorrect in some parts.

Acceptable price . Xiaomi Jimmy JV53 is an improved version of the JV51 model. However, she has not undergone global changes. Of the differences, an easy update of the design (change of color accents) and a slightly increased suction power can be noted. Considering that it is only 25% more expensive than its predecessor and at the same time remains one of the most affordable of its kind. This vacuum cleaner deservedly deserved takes 2nd place in the ranking. The best solution in terms of price-quality ratio.

Xiaomi Jimmy JV53 cordless vacuum cleaner can be bought in online stores.

Dyson v11 absolute

It differs from the leader of the rating for the better by the greater suction power of 185 watts in the volume of the dust bag (0.76 liters against 0.5). In addition, it boasts an intuitive control, which was realized using the LCD display. It displays information about the battery status, operating mode, and in case of emergency (blockage in the system, go to the need to clean the filter) - a warning message. But the main feature of the model is the proprietary digitally controlled Dyson V11 engine, and a system of dynamic load sensors. Sensors automatically determine the type of surface, the level of contamination, allowing you to adjust the power of the motor in real time (works only with the main brush). This gives the highest quality cleaning combined with energy savings. By the way, the model has a fixed battery with a capacity of 3,600 mAh - up to 60 minutes of battery life. Ergonomics of the model deserve special attention. The set includes 9 nozzles for different purposes, a convenient storage system for the vacuum cleaner itself on the wall bracket, and nozzles in special trays of the bracket and on the vacuum cleaner tube using a complete clip. The whole effect is overshadowed by the mass of the device, the vacuum cleaner is too heavy, and the protruding dust collector also carries the center of gravity forward, which leads to the need for additional efforts to hold the vacuum cleaner. Also, compared to Xiaomi Jimmy JV53, it works more noisily. Price .

pros

• Quality of materials and assembly;
• Equipment;
• Ergonomics - convenient use and storage of a vacuum cleaner and nozzles;
• The volume of the container for collecting dust;
• Automatic adjustment of engine power in real time;
• High suction power;
• Informative LCD display;
• Autonomy up to 60 minutes;
• 2 year warranty.

Minuses

• Price;
• Slippery handle;
• Heavy;
• Noisy;
• Non-removable battery;
• Dry cleaning only - unjustifiably taking into account the price.

The high price and weight of 3 kg, together with the poor location of the dust container, are the two main complaints of users to this vacuum cleaner. If this does not bother you, you can buy this model. On the other hand, saving almost three times, with a slight loss in productivity and autonomy of the vacuum cleaner, is very tempting. If the financial issue is acute for you, I recommend Xiaomi Jimmy JV53 or Morphy Richards. They can handle the cleaning no worse, and without automatic adjustment of the motor power and LCD display, it is quite possible to do.

Morphy Richards 734055

It differs from the rating leaders by its compactness, lightness, and therefore improved maneuverability. The latter is also achieved through the use of three possible configurations:

1. Vertical - the location of the main working unit of the vacuum cleaner directly above the brush - is convenient when cleaning carpets and other floor coverings.
2. Handstick - the working part of the vacuum cleaner is located on the handle on top for high-quality cleaning of inaccessible places (for example, under or behind furniture).
3. Manual - without a tube. The compact version of the vacuum cleaner is convenient to use for cleaning furniture or the passenger compartment.

The vacuum cleaner meets all modern canons - 4 levels of air purification, suction power of 110 watts, autonomous operation up to half an hour. Users note the high build quality and solid materials. The extension tube is made of aluminum, the body of the vacuum cleaner itself and the nozzle are made of high-quality plastic. Price .

pros

• Design;
• Light in comparison with competitors (2.75 kg);
• Compact (1140x240x150mm);
• Quiet. The noise level is almost twice lower than that of the leaders of the rating;
• Quality of materials and assembly;
• 3 configurations;
• 2 year warranty.

Minuses

• Options (only 2 brushes included);
• Average autonomy.

The model is positioned by the manufacturer as a device for daily cleaning of small apartments. It has a premium design, looks more expensive than the leaders of the rating. At the same time, Morphy Richards 734055 is more compact and maneuverable.. But the key factor that enabled this vacuum cleaner to get into the top 3 is the price, it fully corresponds to the quality, materials, assembly, and operation of the device - the best option in terms of price-quality ratio, if you do not need additional nozzles and functionality.

Share in the comments how you think a cordless vertical vacuum cleaner can completely replace a standard wired vacuum cleaner.

Xiaomi JIMMY JV71

One of the easiest vacuum cleaners in the TOP 10. It weighs less than one and a half kilograms, while in terms of functionality and performance it is not much inferior to the rating leader Jimmy JV53. Equipped with a similar brushless motor with a capacity of 100,000 rpm, identical in volume to the container. Moreover, it has an expanded complete set. A brush for the ceiling and corrugation appeared in the box of this vacuum cleaner for easy cleaning. Already familiar nozzles have undergone some changes and become more convenient to use - a special lock allows you to change the length of the nozzle for furniture and crevice nozzles for cleaning in hard to reach places. A nice feature of the vacuum cleaner is the ability to store in an upright position without any supports. However, the stand is included. It is simple, floor, with guides for the power supply. On the body of the vacuum cleaner there are connectors that automatically connect to the charger when installed on a stand. Price .

pros

• Price;
• Design;
• Ease;
• Compactness;
• Ergonomics (a large number of convenient nozzles, storage in an upright position without supports and supports);
• Autonomy;
• Good suction power.

Minuses

• Non-removable battery.

The vacuum cleaner, by today's standards, is almost perfect, but it’s worth considering whether additional nozzles and the possibility of vertical parking are so important for you to overpay for it . In my opinion, Xiaomi Jimmy JV53 is a priority in terms of price. Not everyone will feel a bit more weight in practice. The vast majority of users note the ease of use of the JV53 and do not complain about its weight.

Hoover H-FREE

Closing the top five is another compact and fairly lightweight device (2.4 kg) from the American brand, which launched the world's first vacuum cleaner almost 100 years ago. The suction power of the model is ≈ 130 kW. In this parameter, it can easily compete with all models in the ranking, except for the Dyson V11 Absolute. Features of the model:

• backlight on a turbo brush - convenient cleaning in the dark corners of the apartment;
• innovative H-LAB FLAT & DRIVE nozzle - the ability to switch the nozzle angle between 90º and 180º with a gentle movement of the hand for greater maneuverability in hard-to-reach places. In addition, it is equipped with a hinge, with a special stopper that allows you to fix the vacuum cleaner in a vertical position, and store it without any supports;
• The volume of the container for collecting dust of 0.8 l is one of the best indicators on the market and the best in this rating.
• Price

pros

• Price;
• Brand name;
• Easy (relative to competitors);
• Compactness;
• Good suction power;
• Equipment;
• Large container;
• innovative nozzle H-LAB FLAT & DRIVE;
• LED backlight on the brush;
• parking mode for a large electric brush.

Minuses

• Mediocre autonomy (up to 25 minutes).

A vacuum cleaner from a brand that has become a pioneer in this direction. There can be no doubt in the reliability and performance of the device, and its attractive price makes it one of the most sought after on the market. In defense of a small autonomy, which is almost half the average, I can note that due to the special design of the nozzle of this vacuum cleaner, the time required for cleaning in inaccessible places is reduced. As a result, 25 minutes is enough to clean the average apartment. It is not necessary to clean the container after each cleaning, as you have to do with most modern vertical vacuum cleaners.

Bosch BCS61113 Unlimited 6

The famous German brand offers a rather interesting device, which occupies an honorable 6th place in the rating. The vacuum cleaner is the most compact in the manufacturer's line. It is equipped with a proprietary brushless motor DigitalSpin and a turbo brush AllFloor Power, which allows cleaning of any surface. The battery of the device is part of the Power for ALL system and will go up to several dozens of Bosch tools for home and garden. At the same time, it is worth noting a low level of device autonomy (up to 30 minutes). The package is modest in comparison with the top models, but the possibilities of a turbo brush, a flexible crevice nozzle and a nozzle for upholstered furniture are enough for everyday cleaning. Price .

pros

• Brand name;
• Ease;
• Compactness;
• Universal removable battery compatible with other Bosch devices.

Minuses

• Price;
• Fair autonomy;
• A small dust bag.

A good option to maintain cleanliness in the apartment, but part of the price is an additional payment for the brand. The competitors from Xiaomi discussed above surpass this model in autonomy and functionality, while they are cheaper, and Morphy Richards 734055, at the same price, boasts a premium design and 3 modes of operation. So if you are not a fan of Bosch, and you do not have other devices with which you can use a compatible battery, it is better to give preference to the leaders of the rating.

PRO-EXPERT V9

An interesting offer located on the border of the budget and mid-price segments. “Under the hood” of the device is a powerful brushless motor. For air purity, 4 stages of filtration are responsible. The advantages of the model are light weight and low noise level during operation. The suction power is not inferior to vacuum cleaners of the middle price segment, about 130 watts (3 levels are available). All the necessary nozzles for high-quality cleaning are included. Autonomy up to 50 minutes. Price .

pros

• Price;
• Brushless motor;
• Equipment;
• Ease;
• Compactness;
• Ergonomics - a convenient handle at an angle of 60 degrees, a good arrangement of control buttons;
• Low noise compared to more expensive models;
• High suction power;
• 3 operation modes;
• Manufacturer's warranty for 2 years (1 year for a vacuum cleaner and another 1 year for an engine).

Minuses

• Not found

The vacuum cleaner is excellent for its price, although many still do not want to trust little-known brands, preferring, for example, Xiaomi technology. To some extent, this is justified and I support such buyers by recommending Xiaomi Jimmy JV53. - More thoughtful ergonomics and rich equipment, justify the overpayment in .

Weissgauff V9 Cyclone

The 8th place is occupied by the representative of the German brand Weissgauff, which can already be attributed to the budget segment, because it costs only . For this amount, a 4-in-1 vacuum cleaner is offered. Like Morphy Richards 734055, it can be transformed into a standard vertical vacuum cleaner, a portable vacuum cleaner, a vacuum cleaner for cleaning crevices, a vacuum cleaner for cleaning furniture and curtains. The latter was made possible thanks to a special nozzle. The main brush is also special - it is equipped with LED backlight.The heart of the vacuum cleaner is an inverter motor, which, together with SuperSilent technology, allows for a fairly quiet operation, the noise level is comparable to the top models of well-known brands. The suction power and container volume are also on par with more expensive vacuum cleaners. But with autonomy, the V9 Cyclone has problems. The model is equipped with a 2000 mAh battery, and can operate on a single charge for about 20 minutes - a weak indicator, even for budget vacuum cleaners.

pros

• Price;
• 4 modes of use;
• Ease;
• Compactness;
• Brushless motor;
• High suction power;
• Backlight on the main brush.

Minuses

• White, easily soiled;
• Weak autonomy.

The vacuum cleaner is not bad, but even among state employees it will find worthy competitors with better autonomy. Suitable for express room cleaning. For a full cleaning of the apartment, it is better to choose any of the above options.

REDMOND RV-UR380

A vacuum cleaner from a domestic manufacturer is quite popular in our country. High demand is explained by the price in and a 2-year manufacturer's warranty. The suction power of this model is noticeably lower than all previous rating participants - only 80 watts. In practice, this is enough for collecting rather large fractions even from carpets, it is just that you will have to spend more time cleaning. By autonomy, the vacuum cleaner shows standard, for the budget segment, 30 minutes. When working in turbo mode, this figure is reduced by at least half. A feature of the model is the presence of an informative LED display - not every expensive vacuum cleaner can boast of such an option.

pros

• Price;
• LED display with current information on the operating mode and battery status;
• 2 year warranty.

Minuses

• Heavy;
• Large enough and less maneuverable compared to competitors;
• Suction power is mediocre compared to competitors.

A good budget alternative to domestic production. Suitable for those who are forced to save. In other cases, I highly recommend paying attention to the Hoover H-FREE or Xiaomi Jimmy JV53. The first option is interesting with a large container, a convenient, maneuverable backlit brush, and the second is versatile, thanks to a large number of nozzles.

Tefal TY6545RH

Few people know, but the French brand, without whose ideas we can not do, also produces vacuum cleaners. TY6545RH models had the honor to close the top ten. This is the most budgetary option with the minimum configuration, nevertheless, it copes with the cleaning function no worse than the REDMOND RV-UR380. It is also more than 1 kg lighter than the competitor and has an enlarged container for collecting dust. The turbo brush is equipped with LED lighting, making it easy to clean in dimly lit areas. No additional nozzles are provided. Autonomy up to 30 minutes. Price .

pros

• Price;
• Backlight brush;
• Ease;
• Compactness;
• Large container.

Minuses

• Non-separable design;
• Weak suction power, cannot cope with coarse debris;
• Complete set - there are no additional nozzles and supports for storage;
• Judging by user reviews, there is a certain percentage of defects.

A good budget solution for daily cleaning, perhaps the best vacuum cleaner in its price segment. Competitors with similar characteristics from other brands cost several thousand more. On the other hand, users complain about the weak electronics of the device, which quickly breaks down. Is it worth the risk in the desire to save as much as possible - you decide, at least check the correct design of the warranty card.

In my opinion, it is better to dig up and purchase vacuum cleaners, the reliability and performance of which are appreciated by thousands of users. Xiaomi Jimmy JV53, Morphy Richards 734055 and Hoover H-FREE remain optimal in terms of price-quality ratio. At the same time, each has its own drawbacks and none of them can replace a full-fledged vacuum cleaner by 100%.This is beyond the power of the Dyson V11 Absolute, despite the leadership in suction power in the rating, you should not overpay for it. Regarding budget vacuum cleaners, the following can be noted, they are all approximately the same in key characteristics and it is not easy to make an objective choice in favor of a certain model. My opinion, the best in the segment before is the Weissgauff V9 Cyclone - German quality, lightness, compactness and backlight on the brush. Its disadvantage is autonomy, according to this criterion it is insignificant, but it is inferior to competitors in its price segment.

Which vacuum cleaner out of ten presented did you like. Or maybe you have your own leader among upright vacuum cleaners that didn't make it to my rating. Write about it in the comments.

Varieties of vertical vacuum cleaners

A variety of modifications of vertical vacuum cleaners are presented on store shelves. Some of them are wired, others are battery operated, there are washing and carpet models. Let's take a closer look at the varieties of the power source and the stupidity of the dust collector.

Differences by power source

Wired

The power reaches 300 W, it is enough to collect dust even from pile carpets. Conventional vacuum cleaners at a similar price have a higher power - up to 500 watts. Corded vacuum cleaners are the best choice for cleaning carpets, since the power of rechargeable ones is always lower. In addition, they do not limit the usage time of the power supply charge.

The absence of a battery also reduces the overall weight of the structure, which opens up room for designers to increase the weight and power of other components - the motor or filters, add functionality, for example, wet cleaning or ionization of the outgoing air.

Please note that not all models have an automatic cord rewind so that you do not need to manually wind it around the vacuum cleaner every time, choose with this function.

Wireless

Battery powered vacuum cleaners are distinguished by their autonomy, small size and wide application. Their niche is premises without access to a network or of a large size, where it is inconvenient to use wires. Wireless models are considered safer, as they cannot receive a strong electric shock.

Battery powered models are fully collapsible and foldable, they are often very compact, can be used as car vacuum cleaners.. When choosing, you should pay attention to the type of the installed battery, Li-lon batteries are considered more durable in comparison with NiMH cells.

The disadvantage of cordless vacuum cleaners is that the engine is not as powerful as in vacuum cleaners with a network connection, the significant weight of the structure, which adds the battery.

Different types of dust collectors

Dust collectors in vertical vacuum cleaners are no different from conventional modifications and can be represented by paper and cloth bags, a container with a cyclone filter or an aqua filter.

Bags

Available in disposable and reusable fabric or paper bags. The cloth bags are reusable and should be replaced once a month. Paper bags are disposable; after each cleaning, such a bag is thrown away with the collected waste.

In this modification, the bag itself acts as a filter, consists of several layers that do not let dust into the motor of the device. In modern vacuum cleaners, they are supplemented with fine filters and a HEPA filter at the outlet.

Cyclone filter

If the vacuum cleaner uses cyclonic filtration, it is equipped with a plastic container. Getting into the container, the litter swirls, the centrifugal force presses it against the walls, and the clean air passes further to the motor and the outlet, where it is met by additional fine filtration. The advantage of this container is its ease of cleaning and high suction power, in comparison with bags. The cyclone filter does not require replacement, with the exception of its fabric elements that provide fine filtration.

Aqua filter

The filtration system uses a container with water, dust and debris settles in it, and the purified air passes on. The advantage of the design is air humidification, a high degree of filtration, no filter replacement is required. At the end of cleaning, the water from the container is drained, the container itself is cleaned.The downside of the design is its price and bulkiness.

Detergents

The vacuum cleaner is complemented by a structure for supplying clean water, a tank for collecting contaminated water. It can be powered from the mains or from the battery. Detergent modifications perform dry cleaning. It can be used for washing hard coatings and carpets, collecting liquids, refreshing and humidifying the air in the house. The model also has disadvantages - a large mass and worse maneuverability, high cost.

Advantages and disadvantages of vertical vacuum cleaners

Pros:

• Compact, require little storage space.
• The weight is less than that of conventional models, easily overcome thresholds and are carried to other floors, can be used by weight.
• There are no separate hoses that are often confused and interfere with movement.
• No need to take off and put on parts before and after use.
• Some models can be used as a removable handheld vacuum cleaner.
• Autonomous work in case of battery power supply.

Minuses:

• The power is lower than conventional models. Even wired models show less power compared to stationary vacuum cleaners.
• Battery-powered modifications have a short runtime and take a long time to charge.
• The garbage container is relatively small.

Criterias of choice

1. Suction power. The more powerful the engine, the more the electric fan spins inside the device, which means that such a device will suck small debris and dirt into the dust collector without problems and delays. Do not confuse power consumption with suction power. The limiting indicator of the efficiency of the vacuum cleaner is 800 watts. But more often, you can find models with a suction power of 150 to 600 watts.
2. Weight. Still, this is an important parameter, because the whole device will be in your hands. Our rating includes both weighty models and lighter ones, pay attention to this indicator. Sometimes, the upright vacuum cleaner has to be lifted and held on weight - for example, when it is necessary to collect cobwebs from the ceiling. Lightweight model will not cause you any inconvenience.
3. The volume of the container for collecting waste and its type.
4. Filters They can be foam, fibrous, electrostatic, carbon. The most effective are HEPA filters - porous membranes that trap even the smallest dust particles - from 0.06 microns. But any of these filters must be cleaned regularly and changed in a timely manner - then you are guaranteed high-quality cleaning and removal of unpleasant odors in the room.
5. Battery capacity, charging time and battery life. It is best to choose Li-lon batteries, they have an advantage in all respects over NiMH.
6. Noise at work - the indicators declared by the manufacturer do not always correspond to reality, it is best to test the model in the store.
7. Equipment - included nozzles and brushes, hanging bracket, charging station, maintenance tools and more.
