Lightweight Vacuums Reviews
This innovative cordless vacuum is not only lightweight and easy to maneuver, it is also highly efficient in picking up dust and debris. Made by Dyson, a renowned brand in the vacuum cleaners industry, the unit is indeed a nice option to consider. It comes with multiple accessories and some nice features that are meant to improve its performance and increase its convenience.
Due to the fact that it is a stick, the vacuum is very lightweight – it weighs only 5.75 pounds. It is 49 inches long and very compact, allowing you to clean hard-to-reach places without hassle. The stick comes in a beautiful yellow color but you can also opt for a sprayed nickel model. It comes with multiple attachments that make it very versatile – you can use it to clean both carpets and hard floors, as well as the upholstery or the car.
- Slide switch: it is conveniently located near the handle and it allows you to switch from standard to max mode.
- Docking station: it is wall mountable and secures and charges the vacuum. It also keeps it within reach. Additionally, it features clips that allow you to store 2 attachments.
The machine is equipped with a Lithium-Ion battery that in comparison to the V6 can last up to 40 minutes until it needs to be recharged. Anyway, the runtime varies depending on the accessory you use and the power mode. If you’re using any motorized head and you switch to the Max mode, the battery will only deliver approximately 7 minutes of suction. The direct-drive motorhead is ideal for cleaning carpets and removing hair while the soft roller cleaner is suitable for hard floors and can pick up dust and debris of all sizes.
- Strong suction: in the Max mode, the unit has a suction power of 115 AW. This is possible due to the digital motor V8 that rotates at approximately 107,000 RPM.
- Cyclone system: features a 2 tier system with 15 cyclones that help increase the airflow to capture the dust.
- HEPA filtration: features a whole-machine HEPA filtration that traps allergens and dust and keeps the air clean. You don’t have to replace the filter as it only needs to be washed regularly.
A really nice thing about this models is that it works on batteries, so you can basically clean the entire house without changing wall sockets. Also, the machine converts into a handheld vacuum that allows you to clean the stairs, the couch, or even the car.
- Dirt ejector: emptying the dustbin is very easy and hygienic. You just need to release the lever on the top and the dirt will instantly come out.
- Release trigger: it is placed on the handle and it helps save battery life.

2. Shark Rocket Ultra-Light HV302
This model made by Shark is powerful and user-friendly. At 7.6 pounds, it is the “heaviest” model in our list, but it is much lighter than most available vacuums. Unlike the previous model, this one is corded. However, the 30 feet power cord is long enough to move it around without hassle. It comes with 2 different heads to efficiently clean both the hard floors and the carpets. Additionally, it includes multiple other attachments and it can be transformed into a handheld vacuum. This makes it very handy.
- Controls at your fingertips: they are conveniently place to change from bare floor to high pile carpets setting within seconds.

Eureka Blaze 3-in-1 NES210
4. Eureka Blaze 3-in-1 NES210
For a much affordable option, we recommend you the Blaze 3-in-1 by Eureka. It weighs only 3.97 pounds, being among the most lightweight vacuums you can currently find. It does a good job cleaning the floors and carpets and it is able to maintain the same power suction until you finish cleaning the entire house. The cord is 18 feet long and it features a cord wrap for a neat storage. For more convenience, it can be converted into a hand and stair vacuum. In order to protect your floors, it is equipped with rubber coated wheels. One of the major drawbacks of this vacuum is that it comes with a short warranty – only 1 year.

- Built-in attachment holder : it comes with a crevice tool that can be conveniently stored in the holder.
Bissell Featherweight Stick
5. Bissell Featherweight Stick
Just like its name suggests it, this vacuum is light as a feather. It is pretty hard to find a model that weighs less than 2.6 pounds. Although it is the best option when it comes to weight, this model won’t impress you with its performance. Considering the fact that it is cheap, the vacuum does a good job overall but it may have difficulties to pick up stubborn dirt, especially on carpets. Therefore, we recommend it for small houses without carpets or pets. The cord is not very long – only 20 feet and – and it includes a crevice tool. For more convenience, it can be converted into a hand vacuum. Just like the previous model, it is warranted for a period of 1 year.
- 25.6 oz dust bin: the bin is large enough to collect a generous amount of debris. Also, it is easy to empty.
