The Bissell PowerClean DualBrush delivers excellent mixed-floor pickup, strong filtration, and above-average battery efficiency. Its small bin, heavy handheld design, and high noise level make it best for shoppers focused primarily on floor cleaning.
The Dyson V16 Piston Animal Submarine is Dyson’s new flagship cordless vacuum, adding a redesigned All Floor Cones cleaner head, strong carpet and hard floor performance, sealed HEPA filtration, long battery life, and the Submarine wet-cleaning head. After our independent studio evaluations, it earned the top spot in our cordless vacuum rankings.
Vacuum Wars’ July 2026 cordless vacuum rankings name the Dyson V16 Piston Animal Submarine as Best Overall, the Levoit LVAC-200 as Best Value, and the KARDV V06 as Best Budget after independent testing of 120+ cordless vacuums.
The Bissell PowerClean 4173 impressed us with excellent pickup performance, a perfect 100% carpet deep-cleaning score, strong filtration, and quiet operation. However, concerns about handle weight, convenience features, and long-term reliability kept it out of our Top 10 Cordless Vacuums rankings.
Dyson recently introduced the V9 as a new entry in its cordless lineup, slotting it between the V8 and the V11 in terms of both price and features. It adopts the in-line body style Dyson popularized with the V10 and V11, comes in lighter than the V8, and is currently selling for significantly less than its original list price. In this review, we’ll cover the strengths and weaknesses of the Dyson V9 Motorbar and see how it stacks up against other cordless vacuums we’ve tested.
The Shark PowerPro Flex Pet Plus impressed us with excellent debris pickup, strong carpet deep-cleaning performance, and useful features like FloorDetect and the MultiFLEX wand. However, below-average power metrics, poor crevice cleaning, and a failed filtration test make it difficult to recommend at its current price.
