Deciding on a new vacuum cleaner can be a chore in itself. With so many new models and features available on the market to choose from we’ve compiled a list of our best cleaners that are perfect for every job.
Best for those who dread the weekly clean
“For the busy household that relies on a weekly clean then a vacuum with a large dust container is essential” says Susan Morris, Electrolux Floorcare expert. Households with a greater floor surface to clean will also benefit from a vacuum with a large dust container such as the Electrolux Twister Excel (from £99.99) which has a three litre dust container compared to the average two litre, meaning you can vacuum for longer without having to frequently empty it. The Twister Excel also features our unique Riser Visor Turbo Nozzle which flips up and down for vertical and horizontal cleaning – ideal for removing stubborn fibres from stairs and upholstery!

Best for homes with pets
“If you own a pet, you will need a cleaner with a robust brush that can loosen and collect stubborn fluff and pet hair to ensure a clean and fresh home” say Susan Morris. The Electrolux Aptica™ Pet Lover (from £229.99) is equipped with a special pet turbo brush designed to pick up hair as well as a HEPA filter with an extra carbon layer that reduces odours. The brush features rubber nodules which facilitate the removal of even deeply embedded hair ensuring that they never get stuck in the turbo nozzle. “The turbo nozzle is also ideal for picking up pet hair from furniture and textiles without the hair getting stuck in the brush” explains Susan.

Best for cleaning the stairs
Cleaning the stairs can be a time consuming and strenuous task, especially when dragging a heavy vacuum cleaner behind you. The AirExcel Stair Z5410A (from £209.99) is a dream to use in homes with stairs, thanks to its additional, 10 meter stair stretch hose, ideal for cleaning a full flight in one go. The 9m cord on this vacuum also ensures a wide cleaning radius thus avoiding having to frequently change sockets. Buy the AirExcel Stair here.
For consumers who are looking for a lighter version of this model, try the AirExcel Lite Reach (£229.99) which comes with all the fabulous features of a ‘heavy weight’ model as well as an extra-long 10m hose that will can reach to the top of a whole flight of stairs saving you the awkward task of holding the vacuum on each step!
Best for ease of use
Domestic upright cleaners designed for regular use can be bulky and heavy however a model like the new Electrolux AirExcel Lite (from £199.99) makes moving between rooms and floors easy. The AirExel Lite is Electrolux’s lightest and most compact vacuum cleaner to date weighing in at a mere 4kg, compared to the average 7kg yet still has a two litre dust container- perfect for cleaning the whole house in one, swift go!
Best if you want to invest in a secondary cleaner
“Treat yourself to a smaller, secondary cleaner for the odd jobs that crop up during the week, like crumbs on the carpet or dirt brought into the hall or kitchen” say Susan. “A model such as the Electrolux Ergoeasy (from £99.99) which is powerful, compact and very light at 4.9kg, is the ideal space saver – or an ideal second vacuum cleaner”. This neatly designed bagless model delivers full size performance in a compact size for people with smaller homes and less storage space. It is also easy to empty and store away.
