The 5 Best Upright Vacuums of 2025
Upright vacuums[^1] are known for cleaning large carpeted areas efficiently. But they are useful in any household. They feature substantial dirt compartments that handle large messes and motorized floorheads that excel in lifting embedded dirt and pet hair from carpet fibers. However, due to their heavier, bulkier design, they are less suited for maneuvering in tight spaces or on stairs compared to lighter stick or canister vacuums.
Our comprehensive testing of over 100 vacuum models revealed the top-performing upright vacuums based on cleaning performance, design, features, and price. If you're exploring options, consider checking our specialized lists that feature vacuums optimized for carpets and hardwood floors.
Best Upright Vacuum: Dyson Ball Animal 3 Extra
The Dyson Ball Animal 3 Extra provides strong suction and versatility across various flooring types. It offers multiple suction settings, anti-tangle brushes, and a wide selection of attachments, including pet hair-grooming tools. This vacuum is larger in size, and manual winding of the cord is required.
Best Upper Mid-Range Upright Vacuum: Shark Stratos Upright AZ3002
The Shark Stratos Upright provides strong suction with a lift-away canister for easy handheld cleaning. DuoClean rollers make it effective on both hard floors and carpets, and its odor-neutralizing cartridge[^3] and substantial attachments make it perfect for those seeking a more portable, all-around vacuum.
Best Mid-Range Upright Vacuum: Shark Performance Plus Lift-Away
With many shared characteristics with the Stratos, it’s slightly more affordable. It features DuoClean rollers[^4], lift-away versatility, and effective odor neutralization, although it lacks a motorized head in handheld mode.
