Vacuum cleaners
Cordless sticks, cylinder vacuums and robots. The stated battery life is for the most economical mode: at full power it drops to a fraction of that figure. Ease of emptying, the price of filters and brushes and the availability of a replacement battery weigh on the whole life of the machine.
Choose by use
The right product depends on the situation. Each page below takes the category’s criteria and changes their weight for one specific need.
What we rate in this category
Every product in the category is rated from 0 to 100 on these criteria — the same for all of them, whichever merchant sells it.
- Price
- Where the product sits against the others in its category, at comparable specifications, on the market being browsed. The longer the bar, the better placed the product is on price.
- Suction power
- Ability to lift dust from hard floors and carpets, measured in standard conditions.
- Battery life
- Real use time between two charges or two refills, measured in mixed conditions rather than at the maximum quoted.
- Quietness and sturdiness
- Noise level in operation and the durability of the moving parts.
Price brackets by tier
Orders of magnitude, not displayed prices: a price only appears on Kalyneo once it has been collected from a merchant, with its collection date.
Under €200
Corded cylinders and entry-level sticks. Short battery life, simple filtration, few accessories.
€200 to €500
The widest bracket: usable battery life, an often removable battery, brushes suited to carpets.
Over €500
Swappable batteries, fine filtration, robots that map rooms. Upkeep remains the real running cost.
No price collected yet
Kalyneo only shows a price once it has been collected automatically from the merchant, with the date it was collected; no price is ever entered by hand. The rating criteria, the price brackets and the buying guides are already online.
