I recently reviewed the Bissell CleanView Max Lift-Off and praised it for being powerful, thoughtfully designed, and even a little relaxing to use. The star feature is the detachable Lift-Off canister that turns the machine into a portable vacuum for stairs, upholstery, the car, and tight corners. It also includes a tangle-free brush roll and a HEPA-sealed allergen system that helps pull up pet hair, dust, and debris that you definitely don't want lingering around.

I've always loved to clean. Not in a "this place needs to be spotless at all times" kind of way, but because cleaning genuinely makes me feel good. There's something deeply satisfying about watching a messy space transform right in front of you - and few tasks deliver that instant gratification quite like vacuuming. The steady hum, the clean lines on a rug, the tiny bits of dust disappearing into the canister; it's all weirdly meditative to me.

We haven't tried a vacuum yet that we absolutely hate. These solid vacuums below are often more affordable than our top picks, but didn't impress us as much.
