As Ideal Home’s Certified Expert in Vacuums, I spend my days testing new and innovative vacuum cleaners from big brands that plough incomprehensible amounts of money into their product development. But while I trust these brands to deliver, there’s one woman I trust more than anyone: my nan. And my nan swears by her old-school carpet sweeper.
Of course, my guide to the best vacuum cleaners is filled with modern models packed with dust-and-dirt-busting features to make cleaning more efficient than ever. But there’s no denying that these vacuums can often be heavy, cumbersome, and pretty expensive. For some people, they’re also way more complicated than they need to be.
