Vacuum cleaner reviews: Owners' views
We spoke to thousands of Which? members to find out how satisfied they are with their brand of vacuum cleaner.
Upright vacuum cleaners
We received responses from owners of uprights from brands including Miele, Dyson, Sebo and Vax and our customer satisfaction table features 11 brands in total. To see how these brands score in our tests visit our vacuum cleaner reviews page.
The customer score shown in the table is a combination of owners' satisfaction with the product and how likely they'd be to recommend it to a friend.

Cylinder vacuum cleaners
