As Ideal Home’s Certified Expert in Vacuums, it’s literally my job to test the many different makes and models out there. In fact, I’ve spent almost 400 hours testing the best vacuum cleaners on the market, so I'd like to think that I know my stuff. My latest prediction? 2026 is the year that corded vacuums make a much-needed comeback.
Don’t get me wrong, I love (and regularly use) the best cordless vacuum cleaners. They’re convenient, easy to use, and incredibly easy to store when space is limited. But it’s hard to ignore that many of the big vacuum brands - like Shark and VAX - are putting more time and attention back into corded vacuums that focus on one thing: a deep, effective clean.
