Testing and writing about vacuums for a living comes with its perks. I get to review some of the world's greatest models from the world's most established vacuum brands, and often, I'm fortunate enough to keep them afterward. Naturally, my home has never been cleaner.
Of the 12 vacuum cleaners I've tested for Homes & Gardens, there's only one that I still use in my own home: the Dyson V12 Detect Slim. It's perfect for my messy shared house with its mix of carpeted and hard floors.
