I'm an associate editorial director at The Spruce and live in a split-level home with my husband and toddler. My home has a mix of carpets, hardwood floors, and tile—plus, so many stairs—and my vacuums are regularly tasked with deep-cleaning rugs and picking up Goldfish, tiny pieces of spaghetti, and toast crumbs lovingly dropped around our kitchen ta

As someone who lives in a relatively small apartment, you have to be strategic in where you place your furniture, especially if it requires a power source and needs to be by a wall outlet.

It’s hard to know where to begin with the number of features loaded into these Whirlpool machines, but they all have been truly handy, especially the Load & Go dispenser that stores weeks' worth of detergent inside the machine and automatically dispenses it based on the weight of your wash load. For a large family who does five to 10 loads per week, this is a massive game-chan

I simply cannot stop raving about this vacuum . The Levoit LVAC-200 Cordless Stick Vacuum is just as good as (if not better than) more expensive and high-tech models from innovative brands, such as Dyson or Tineco—it just lacks the smart features that you don't totally n

The cost of vacuums really varies, and the deciding factor is really the type of vacuum you're looking at purchasing. Vacuums can range from $50 to up to $1,200, and our best overall vacuum has a price point we're often recommending because of its mix of value and features: $
