" If you want: A handheld vacuum that&amp;#039;s hands-down amazing. A handheld is essential for quick pickups \u2014 and you&amp;#039;ll be looking for spills once you discover the cyclonic suction power of this mini Dyson. Not only did it remove coffee grounds from a carpet in only two passes, but its dirt bin button-releases from the bottom, so you don&amp;#039;t get dirty. Plus, this handheld has a fast-charging lithium ion battery \u2014 meaning it rejuices quickly ($150, dyson.com for stores).Our rating: + + + + + If you want: An extra-light, powerful upright vacuum. It&amp;#039;s pink, powerful, and weighs just eight pounds (that&amp;#039;s because it&amp;#039;s not loaded with brush attachments). The two-speed Oreck sucked up coffee grounds instantly, even on its quiet low speed, and the disposable bag locks dirt inside this tip-proof upright. Plus, Oreck lets you try their vacuums risk-free for 30 days (they&amp;#039;ll donate $50 to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation if you try this edition). Other colors available ($550, oreck.com).Our rating: + + + + + If you want: A two-in- one vacuum for light speed cleaning. The lightweight Pronto is as portable as a broom but way more efficient. The cordless stick vacuum quickly cleans vinyl, tile, and hardwood floors \u2014 and also houses a handheld vacuum that pops out to suck up dust bunnies. Keep it by the back door to clean up leaves that fly in with your dog or kids \u2014 we found that it sucked up pine needles in one swipe (Pronto, $99, electroluxusa.com for stores).Our rating: + + + If you want: A vacuum that traps allergens and dust mites. It sucked up pesky coffee grounds in just three passes \u2014 but the beauty of this bagless is how well it cleans what you can&amp;#039;t see. The airtight HEPA filter traps everything from pollen to dust mites, and the dustbin is coated with Microban to resist odors, mildew, and bacteria ($300, Lowe&amp;#039;s, Best Buy).Our rating: + + + + If you want: A compact vacuum for a whole-house clean. This small bagless cleans better than bigger vacuums we tested with the same power \u2014 and its HEPA filter releases more purified air. Its 24 mini-cyclones whirl dirt inside the dust cup, making for no-fail supersuction. If you have dogs or cats, you&amp;#039;ll want the upgraded Pet Care model, with a power brush that removes fur from furniture ($200, $250 for pet-care model, Best Buy, Linens &amp;#039;n Things).Our rating: + + + "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
