#3 in Vacuum onlyFull review
A slim, cheap self-emptying vacuum that cleans carpet and pet hair surprisingly well. Good for vacuum-only homes, if you can find it in stock.

#5 in Vacuum onlyFull review
A budget self-emptying LiDAR vacuum for hard floors and low carpet in homes without pets; its poor pet hair score rules it out for shedding animals.
