Making Your Decision
When to Choose Levoit AERO
Weight-sensitive users who want ultralight cleaning with auto-empty convenience
The Levoit AERO is the lightest cordless vacuum in our lineup and pairs that with a 60-day auto-empty dock. Suction is modest, but the 4.3 lb weight makes it effortless to use on stairs and above-floor surfaces.
Strengths
- Lightest vacuum in our roundup at just 4.3 lbs
- Auto-empty dock with 60-day capacity
- 70-minute runtime in standard mode
- 5-layer filtration captures 99.99% of particles
Limitations
- Lower 180 AW suction than performance-focused rivals
- Small 0.45L on-board dustbin fills quickly without dock
- Newer brand with limited long-term reliability data
When to Choose Dyson V16 Piston Animal
Deep-clean enthusiasts and pet owners who need maximum suction power and dustbin capacity
The Dyson V16 Piston Animal is a suction powerhouse with the largest dustbin in the category. It's built for serious cleaning sessions, but the weight and lack of auto-empty dock hold it back from premium convenience.
Strengths
- Massive 315 AW suction — among the strongest in the category
- Largest dustbin at 1.35L reduces emptying frequency
- 70-minute runtime suitable for large homes
- Advanced Dyson cyclone technology for consistent suction
Limitations
- Heaviest Dyson at 7.7 lbs — noticeable on stairs
- No auto-empty dock despite premium pricing
- US Amazon ASIN not yet available
