I’m a cleaning editor, home proprietor, and toddler mom who has been testing vacuums for The Spruce since 2020. That said, I acknowledge and know vacuums—and what makes a wonderful one—identical to the once more of my hand, and I’ve not at all been so immediately and continually impressed by a vacuum—or cleaning product usually—like I’ve by the Levoit LVAC-200 Cordless Stick Vacuum.
All via my time as a cleaning editor, I’ve launched (truly) dozens of vacuums into my home. I’ve appreciated upright vacuums resulting from their means to deep clear a carpet all through allergy seasons, and vacuum-mop combos resulting from their sheer consolation.
I keep in a split-level residence now with my husband and (nearly!) 2-year-old daughter who likes to depart behind sticky granola bar crumbs, and that’s the vacuum I attain for each day. It’s presently 25 p.c off, so there is no such thing as a greater time in order so as to add it to your cleaning closet, too.
Ease of Use
I’ve been using this vacuum each day for over 9 months (which is previous as soon as I typically start to identify quirks with totally different cordless stick vacuums), and it’s simple to utilize, empty, and value.
Whereas this stick vacuum, like others, might be grew to become a handheld one with a pair quick modifications for additional detailed cleaning of cupboards, furnishings, and baseboards, I want to think about how I’ve seen it work on flooring of each sort.
On hardwood flooring, this vacuum glides and I’ve not at all wanted to worry about its wheels forsaking a dent or scratch—and I’m not that cautious as soon as I vacuum each, and often come across points.
If I roll it over crumbs in my kitchen—as tiny as dried oregano that when exploded all through dinner prep—it should nearly inform me it’s working with a satisfying crackling noise as a result of the crumbs make their strategy to the mud bin near the take care of.
As soon as I am using it on the bumpy tile flooring in my bogs, it’s exactly the an identical. The wheels are a bit louder as I run it over the ripples, nonetheless it picks up little strands of floss which were left behind near the trash can and grime that’s gathered beneath my vanity. As a result of it is slim, it has no problem getting in tight spots.
It’s the lightest vacuum I’ve examined at 3.2 kilos complete, along with the battery pack—solely being rivaled by some handheld vacuums out there out there—and makes going up and down my stairs a, dare I say, pleasure.

Generally, cordless stick vacuums don’t do very successfully on carpet. Nevertheless, this Levoit vacuum leaves behind the carpet strains you’d rely on from a loads greater and heavier model.
And after just one transfer spherical my mattress room (that can get vacuumed every Saturday), I can see the mud bin go from empty to stuffed with mud and prolonged strands of—admittedly, my—hair. You can see this, too, throughout the {photograph} beneath.
As soon as extra, I’ve been using this vacuum for over 9 months and the mud bin nonetheless appears to be like this finally of my cleans. I moreover private the Shark Navigator, a loads bulkier upright vacuum that I’ve said is an efficient determine for deep-cleaning before now. I stand by that, nevertheless this Levoit vacuum is totally as a lot because the responsibility of each day and weekly home cleaning and I routinely attain for it as an alternative.
