The BlastBoss is designed for both outdoor and indoor use alongside three included attachments, making it versatile for various cleaning tasks.

One of the most effective ways to clean your home is to work from top to bottom. This ensures that whatever dirt or dust is lurking above falls down first, so you're not forced to redo any of the hard work you've already done below.

When it comes to finding the best vacuums on Amazon, our editors are seasoned pros. We've been testing every model on the market from the most sought-after cordless vacuums to robot vacuums for years now, including longtime best-sellers as well as new and notable picks from names like Dyson, Levoit, and Eufy.

The Bissell Crosswave OmniFind Multi-Surface Cleaner is a cordless device that mops and vacuums at the same time. The cleaner offers up to 25 minutes of use on a full charge and includes a charging base for docking. Designed for various surfaces - including rugs, hardwood, and tile - it features FurFinder headlights to reveal hidden pet hair and messes. It also separates clean and dirty water using two tanks and has a bagless design (just empty the canister when it's full).

Upright Vacuums: These corded vacuums are the most traditional. They work for hardwoods and carpets and most of the Shark ones come with hoses and nozzle attachments for extra mobile cleaning, reaching high or hard to reach areas. Plus, they are corded so you never have to charge them, etc. On the negative side, they are heavy and you are tied down to a power outlet.

I made the purchase about 20 years ago after graduating college and moving into my first apartment. It was nothing fancy - or all that effective, if memory serves - but it did the job when my postgrad budget was too low to afford a cleaning service. Eventually, I met my now-husband and ditched my old vacuum in favor of his, which was just as old, though in better shape. It's served us fine, however.

Weighing only 26.5 ounces, it's the lightest steam iron Panasonic has ever made. It's also cordless, comes with a handy carrying case, and heats up in 50 seconds on the accompanying power base (that plugs into a standard electrical outlet). The power base features a built-in cord compartment to make setup and storage easy. So already it solves some of my biggest gripes with traditional irons.

My favorite feature on a robot vacuum is hands-down the roller mop. I bought my first Roborock seven years ago, and its microfiber mop pad was a game-changer for me as a busy mom with a toddler and baby, even if I had to wash it a couple of times during a cleaning session. Little did I know that I'd test Roborock's first roller mop robot nearly a decade later.

Eureka's new Z50 robovac comes equipped with a roller mop that it will automatically lift and shield before vacuuming your carpets, preventing them from getting wet. The roller mop cover is similar to the one we saw on the Roomba Max 705 Combo last year, but it's available for a "tentative" cost of $800 as opposed to $1,299.99. The cover aims to solve the wet carpet dilemma that plagues mopping robovacs, as many can't

Although it's since been dethroned as our favorite midrange robot vacuum / mop hybrid, X10 Pro Omni remains a solid choice thanks to its excellent AI-powered obstacle detection, powerful oscillating mops, and user-friendly app. The dual-spinning brushes are capable of removing dried stains with 1kg of downward pressure, and a built-in water reservoir prevents the robovac from having to frequently return to the dock just to refill its tank.
