Amazon vacuum cleaners are some of the best on the market because the enormous online retailer carries pretty much every cleaning brand you can possibly imagine. That said, with such a vast inventory of cleaning appliances, finding the right one for your space and budget can be something of a challenge. So allow us to step in and help. We tested some of the most highly reviewed and well-loved Amazon vacuums to help narrow down the search. These are our 12 top picks.

Before you dive into the details of each model, consider our high-level thoughts: Vacuum cleaners are rarely cheap, so when you find a good one on sale—especially on Amazon—grab it! Next, there's no need to spend a ton of money on a vacuum cleaner, so before begrudgingly adding the costliest one to your cart, think about your space and what would work best. You may just need a hand vac.

So go ahead and peep our top picks. No matter which one you end up getting, you're bound to love your new purchase. Each one on our list is backed by our personal opinions after a few months of using them or by a few thousand five-star reviews. The best part? There's a massive price range, so no matter what you're looking for, you'll find something suitable here. From Dyson to iRobot, there are a lot of good options to consider, so start your search below.

Roomba 692 Robot Vacuum

"I got this Roomba for my brother after he had his first baby—weird baby gift, I know—and he and his wife loved it so much that I ended up getting one for myself," associate shopping editor Jessica Cherner admits. "I've been using it for about four months and am obsessed with it." Not only does it work well, but it's easy to use: Either program it according to your options on the app or connect it to your Alexa device and use your voice to instruct it. "I will say that it is big, so if you live in a small apartment, this may not be the best vacuum for you because it won't be able to sneak into the nooks and crannies," Cherner adds. That said, the new-and-improved sensors let the Roomba navigate under and around furniture.

Cleanview Swivel Pet Upright Bagless Vacuum Cleaner

There is nothing more gross than a vacuum cleaner bag. Think about it: It's full of the dirt, hair, and crumbs that have been accumulating for at least a few days. And when you empty the bag into the trash, some of the bag's contents always spill onto the floor, creating yet another mess. That's why we love this Bissell vacuum. There's no bag, so emptying the tank is mess-free. Onto the vacuum itself: It may look a bit bulky, but it has serious swivel capabilities, making it easy to maneuver. One reviewer notes, "I have 6 cats and 3 dogs and a lot of messy humans in my home. I have to vacuum daily just to keep all the humans from getting hairballs so I was excited to try this one...Seriously fantastic."

Navigator Lift-Away Professional Vacuum

A vacuum cleaner's aesthetic is probably the least important thing about it, but a nice-looking build never hurt anyone! Case in point: this sleek Shark vacuum that looks like something out of the future. It's not just stylish, though. It really works. In fact, it comes with a HEPA filter that can trap more than 99 percent of dust and allergens. If you want to use it on difficult-to-reach spots, just lift the detachable pod and do your thing. We're not the only ones who are obsessed. A reviewer says, "It transitions between the floor types with a quick click, and the wand and attachments are well stored and quickly accessible to make transitioning from floors to ceilings quick (when you find that giant cobweb and go OMG and need the wand like NOW.)"

Cyclone V10 Animal Cordless Stick Vacuum

"Before I impulse-purchased the Roomba, I used this Dyson," Cherner notes. "I hate to admit it, but in my experience, all Dyson products are worth their sometimes insanely high costs. They really work." It's slender enough to squeeze into even the smallest storage closets, the head (where the handle is) detaches, and it weighs only six pounds. "The attachments are the best part. There is literally a smaller head for every surface you could possibly need to clean," Cherner adds.

Robot Vacuum Cleaner

It's been a while since we saw a robotic vacuum on our list, so here's another favorite we've been eyeing for a long time. First, we have to acknowledge the price: At just $199, it's more than 70 percent off, which is reason enough to buy it. Here's how it works: It has built-in LiDAR technology capable of scanning your home, building a real-time map to navigate its way through the space. If you have a specific cleaning program you want it to follow, simply use voice control or the free app on your phone. One happy customer explains, "Having multiple dogs and allergies, these vacs are a lifesaver. Totally worth buying. I do hope they make a self emptying model but until then, these are great."

VACMOP Pro Cordless Hard Floor Vacuum Mop

This may not be the most advanced vacuum on our list, but depending on your home's needs, this affordable find may be more than enough. Not only is it a vacuum, but it's also a floor mop. For small spills and particles too small to dust, attach one of the super-soft pads to the bottom of the vacuum and simply push it around the floor. "I have all hardwood floors. I was using a standard broom and mop before and this saves so much time!" says a reviewer. "I love the ease of use and the ability to vacuum and mop at the same time. It's lightweight and has a light that makes corners easy."

Intuition BU4022 Bagged Upright Vacuum

Available in two colors, this Kenmore vacuum is a great find if you're looking for something basic to get the job done. Full disclosure: It does come with a vacuum bag, but there's a no-touch button so that you don't have to get anywhere near the gross contents of the bag. And unlike typical bag-included vacuums, this one's suction abilities don't start to fade once the bag fills. "I own a fairly new bagless vacuum cleaner. The reason why I switched from bagless to a bagged vacuum cleaner was because, when you go to empty a bagless vacuum in you house, the dirt and dander you just vacuumed gets back in to your home," A reviewer says. "For the price of the vacuum, I am impressed with the ease of use and great features—it has a great touchless bag feature and multiple attachments. I feel like the air quality in my home is so much better after vacuuming with this vacuum."

Vertex IZ483H Cordless Stick Vacuum

Shark products rarely go on sale, so while this one is 50 percent off, snatch it up before someone else beats you to it. Though it works on all surfaces, we recommend using it on carpets and rugs because the nozzle is built with spikey features that dig deep into the floor covering, pulling up hair and dust that's been trapped down there for months. One reviewer comments, "This vacuum is the best! It's so amazing that I'm throwing out my swiffer. I have all hardwood floors, two cats and one dog, so I'm constantly chasing Tumbleweed hairballs. This thing is so easy to use, it cleans my floors with ease. I am so happy with my purchase. Buy it! You won't regret it." For pet owners, there's also a self-cleaning brush roll.

Featherweight Bagless Stick Vacuum

"It's so tiny and light and thin, you'd think it would be bad," a reviewer says. "But it's great! I bought it for work in a preschool classroom. We use it everyday over the carpet and tiled areas." Well, you heard it here first! You don't necessarily need a huge and expensive vacuum for a powerful clean. It comes with different attachments that work on floors, stairs, and upholstery, so no matter how much dirt accumulates, you'll be able to use this on pretty much every surface.

WhirlWind Bagless Canister Vacuum Cleaner

This may look a bit too industrial to work (or store) in a home, but hear us out: It's good. And we aren't the only ones who think so. One reviewer agrees, "I purchased this Eureka vacuum for my home cleaning businesses specifically because it has the metal parts. It is phenomenal!" It comes with integrated airflow controls on the handle that can be easily switched from carpet to upholstery to wood floors. The reviewer adds, "The best feature is the little brush attachment—it can quickly vacuum and dust baseboards." It can also reach under pretty much any piece of furniture.

Dustbuster Handheld Vacuum

We couldn't round up the best Amazon vacuum cleaners and not include a hand-held dustbuster. "When I moved into my first post-grad apartment, I skipped the traditional vacuum and opted for a Dustbuster," Cherner explains. "I was wrong. Everyone needs a full-size vacuum, but this is amazing for small messes that don't necessarily require you breaking out the vacuum." It removes hair, dirt, and debris from carpets, furniture, and high-traffic floors, so if you're in need of something quick and easier to maneuver than a full-size vacuum, this is a good find for you.

ProHeat 2X Revolution Carpet Cleaner

Bissell is a worthy brand because it works, but it's also charitable. Every purchase supports the Bissell Pet Foundation and its mission to help save homeless pets, so if you're also an animal lover, you may want to consider buying from this brand. This vacuum may seem a little intense, and that's because, technically, it's a cleaning system (according to Bissell). It's extremely tough on pet-induced stains and can even eliminate skunk odors. "We replaced the carpet in our master bedroom before moving in 4 years ago. A year later, we got a puppy. And, yeah...pet stains," a reviewer notes. "One treatment with the Bissell and NO MORE PET STAINS."

What To Look for in an Amazon Vacuum Cleaner

Vacuum cleaners aren't usually cheap, so before you make a big investment do some research to figure out which one will work best. Here are a few things to consider.

Bag vs. bagless: Whether your vacuum cleaner comes with a bag or a dirt container is totally up to you. One is not necessarily better than the other. The former is often easier on allergy sufferers because there's hardly any (if any) contact with the dust and allergens in the bag. The latter typically has better suction power. They're both solid options.

Cordless vs. corded: Personally, we prefer a cordless vacuum because we have more freedom to bring the appliance wherever we please, but of course the disadvantage is that they have a limited run time compared with corded vacs. Corded vacuums that plug into a power source can run for as long as you need.

Wood vs. carpet: Think about what type of surface you'll be using your vacuum cleaner on the most. Luckily, most of the vacuum cleaners on our list come with plenty of attachments that work on everything from hardwood surfaces to rugs.

Are Any Vacuums Better Than Dyson?

Dyson may be one of the most well-known vacuum brands, but there are plenty of companies with products that are just as effective. We're big fans of Shark and Roomba. Plus, the qualities most people love about Dyson aren't exclusive to the brand. Simply figure out what you like about Dyson products and look for other brands that enlist the same ones. For instance, Dyson vacuums have a strong suction. So do a lot of other brands!
