Published by Ahmad Jamal on January 12, 2022 | Last updated on May 22, 2023

When you think about obtaining a new vacuum, you’ll have to keep in mind that it’s based on 3 main elements: The specific flooring style you want to vacuum, a specific task you need the vacuum to perform, or you’re just comfortable with a specific type of vacs.

Therefore, this subject’s main goal is to tackle all of those elements and provide the best value vacs in each and every element of those.

In this article on CleanersAdvisor, you’ll find the best value vacs based on your favorite flooring style, the best value vacs based on the specific tasks you want your vacuum to perform, and the best value vacs if you’re looking for your comfortable vacuum type.


Starting with the first category for the best value vacs is the Flooring-Related best valuable vacuums, and that is: Miele Complete C3 Alize PowerLine

This vacuum scored the highest ratings on more than one occasion while obtaining a picture-perfect performance on multiple flooring types.

I’m not talking here about Multi-Surface Specific vacuum, I’m highlighting the best value vac that provides perfect performance on multiple surfacing modes.

The difference is: the vacuum wasn’t built to provide multi-surfacing to customers, but it provides astonishing performance on every one of those targeted surfaces.

Therefore, the Miele Complete C3 Alize PowerLine has been nominated among the best vacuums for laminate floors, the best vacuums for tile floors, and the overall best vacuum for shag carpets.

Moreover, if you still insist on going for the best multi surface vacuum, the Miele Complete C3 Alize PowerLine scored the 3rd rank on that list.

Honorable Mention

The close second on the list of best value vacs is the Dyson V11 Torque Drive.

it’s a cordless stick that has proven over and over again how versatile yet powerful it can be on different flooring types.

Receiving an equal rating to the Miele Complete C3 Alize PowerLine of 94%, the Dyson V11 Torque Drive is the second-best value vac on our lists of best vacuums for floors.

Dyson V11 Torque Drive is the overall best vacuums for tile floors and the Cordless best vacuum for vinyl floors.

Additionally, an older Dyson V8 Animal cordless vacuum is the 3rd on the list of best vacuums for laminate floors, indicating –in addition to the 2 aforementioned 1st spots- how the better & newer Dyson V11 Torque Drive earned the spot as the honorable mention when searching for the best value vacs flooring-wise.


When we talk about best value vacs, we’re talking about how valuable a vacuum can be in providing the most versatile performance, while remaining the best at those tasks.

The main tasks I’ll highlight today are: Taking Care of Pet-Hair, and Car Detailing/Cleaning.

Taking Care of Pet Hair

That was split into 2 best value vacs, the best Cordless & the best handheld.

For the Best Cordless Vacuums for Pet Hair, I have picked the Shark Rocket Pet Pro Cordless Stick Vacuum.

Not only does it prove its weight in gold when taking care of pet hair, but it also ranks the highest among all the best cordless vacuums for pet hair, in addition to being the best shark vacuum for pet hair.

This affirms dominance among both the models of the brand itself and the task it was built for.

Curious how the Shark Rocket Pet Pro Cordless Stick Vacuum managed to earn the spot as the best value vac for pet hair? Check both articles for features, benefits, and drawbacks.

The Best handheld vacuum for pet hair is the Shark Ultracyclone Pet Pro Plus.

It may not be as prestigious as the Shark Rocket Pet Pro, but it has certainly earned its spot on this list of best value vacs.

During the research for the best shark vacuum for pet hair, this Shark Ultracyclone Pet Pro Plus was the Best Handheld Vacuum by far.

Similar research for the best cordless vacuums for pet hair was conducted, and the Shark Ultracyclone Pet Pro Plus again scored high among its peers, earning its spot here on this list of best value vacs task-wise.

Car Detailing/Cleaning

Taking care of your car’s cleanliness isn’t an easy task, yet it isn’t as hard and messy as many would think unless you clean it once every century.

One of the messiest & most infamous types of car dirt is pet hair, and for the task of eliminating the easiest and the hardest dirt types inside a car, I’ve picked the Bissell Crosswave Pet Pro Wet Dry Vacuum.

Name spoils it all, it’s a great Bissell vacuum, great for pet hair, provides wet/dry cleaning for any type of mess inside the car, while running on the Crosswave advanced technology.

RVs are larger, susceptible to more dirt types, more portable, and are used more often than cars.

And the best RV vacuum for that matter is the Bissell Crosswave Pet Pro Wet Dry Vacuum.

I didn’t put this great Bissell vacuum into consideration in other articles like the best car carpet cleaner or the best vacuums for car detailing, just to provide you with more options, and more angles to find the best value vac for you.

With that in mind, imagine how well the best RV vacuum that performs well on a larger scale, will perform on the smaller cars and automobiles.

That’s how great the Bissell Crosswave Pet Pro Wet Dry Vacuum is, and that’s why it has earned the 1st spot on the list of best value vacs car-detailing-wise.

Therefore, I’ll cover up as many types of vacuums in this list, to help you find the best value vacs you’re looking for.
