I always thought stick vacuums were the best — now I have a new favourite after testing a stick, upright and cylinder vacuum together

A gtech upright, miele cylinder, and dyson stick vacuum standing next to each other in front of a white wall.

Everyone has their preference when it comes to vacuum cleaners. Me personally? I’ve always loved a stick vacuum. However, my mum swears by upright vacuums and I have friends who will only ever use cylinder vacuums. So, how do you know which type of vacuum cleaner you should buy when choosing the wrong one is so easy?

As Ideal Home’s Vacuums Expert, I’ve tested some of the best vacuum cleaners out there, but I know that choosing a vacuum cleaner isn’t as clear-cut as it may seem. From the countless big-name brands that dominate the space to different specs and designs, buying a new vacuum can be a minefield. Because of this, many people simply choose the option they think they like the most.
