Quick answer: for a typical Lebanese home with tiled or marble floors and a few rugs, a cordless stick vacuum is the most practical everyday choice, and it charges on very little power. Choose a corded canister for deep cleaning carpets on a budget, a wet and dry floor washer if you want to vacuum and wash tiles in one pass, and a robot vacuum if you want the floors done while you are out.

Canister vacuums: strong suction for less

A canister vacuum keeps the motor in a body on wheels, with a hose and wand. It gives strong suction for the price and handles rugs, carpets and hard floors. Good picks are the Bissell Easy Vac Compact (1,200 W), the Tefal Compact Power XXL (900 W) and the Bissell Cleanview Multicyclonic (2,000 W). For a premium canister, choose the Dyson Big Ball CY26.

Upright vacuums: for carpets

An upright vacuum is pushed in front of you like a lawnmower, with a wide brush head. It is quick on large carpeted rooms. The Bissell PowerForce Helix (1,100 W) is a solid all-rounder, and the Bissell Featherweight 2-in-1 converts into a handheld for $69.

Cordless stick vacuums: the everyday favourite

A cordless stick vacuum is light, quick to grab and runs on a rechargeable battery, so there is no cable to move from socket to socket. Most models convert into a handheld for sofas, cars and stairs. Because the battery charges slowly on very little power, a stick vacuum is also the easiest choice for homes on a small generator subscription.

• Dreame U10: the entry point to cordless cleaning.
• Tefal X-Force Flex 9.60 Allergy and X-Force Flex 15.60: strong mid-range choices, the 15.60 with a digital screen.
• Dreame R20 Ultra: high suction with an H14 HEPA filter.
• Dyson V8 Cyclone and Dyson V16 Piston Animal: Dyson’s range, from everyday cleaning to homes with pets.

Wet and dry floor washers: made for tiles

Tiled and marble floors are the norm in Lebanese homes, and they need washing as well as vacuuming. A wet and dry floor washer does both in one pass, so you no longer need a broom, a bucket and a mop. The Bissell CrossWave Cordless vacuums and washes at the same time, the CrossWave Advanced Pro is the corded version, and the Dreame H12 GT and Dyson Clean+Wash Hygiene are cordless alternatives. Browse all wet and dry vacuums.

Robot vacuums: clean floors while you are out

A robot vacuum cleans on its own, then returns to its base to recharge. It is ideal for keeping floors tidy every day. The Kärcher RCV 3 and RCV 5 vacuum and wipe the floor. The Dreame D30 Ultra adds two rotating mops, and the Dreame X60 Ultra Complete vacuums and mops, then returns to its dock to empty itself and wash its mop.

Power and your generator subscription

At 220 V, amps are roughly the wattage divided by 220. Corded vacuums draw their full power for as long as they run.

Vacuum	Power	Approximate draw
Bissell Featherweight 2-in-1	520 W	about 2.4 A
Tefal Compact Power XXL	900 W	about 4.1 A
Bissell PowerForce Helix	1,100 W	about 5 A
Bissell Easy Vac Compact	1,200 W	about 5.5 A
Bissell Cleanview Multicyclonic	2,000 W	about 9.1 A

On a 5 A subscription, a corded vacuum above about 1,000 W will usually trip it. Cordless and robot vacuums draw from their battery while cleaning and only use the mains to recharge, which makes them the easiest fit for a limited supply.

Carpets, sofas and spills: spot cleaners

For stains on carpets, sofas and car seats, a spot cleaner sprays water and cleaning solution, then sucks the dirt back out. The Bissell SpotClean Pro and the Dreame N10 are compact options. For tiled floors without a floor washer, the Bissell Powerfresh Lift-Off Steam Mop cleans with steam alone.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best vacuum cleaner for tiled floors?

A wet and dry floor washer such as the Bissell CrossWave vacuums and washes tiles in one pass. For daily dust and crumbs, a cordless stick vacuum is quicker.

Cordless or corded vacuum?

Cordless is lighter and faster for daily cleaning and suits homes on a generator subscription. Corded gives unlimited running time and more suction for the money, which helps on thick rugs.

Is a robot vacuum worth it?

If you want floors kept clean every day without doing it yourself, yes. Models that also mop, such as the Dreame D30 Ultra, are well suited to tiled floors.

Can I use a vacuum on a 5 amp generator line?

A small corded model under about 1,000 W, a cordless stick or a robot vacuum will work. Larger corded vacuums of 1,500 to 2,000 W need 10 A or more.

Do your vacuums come with a warranty?

Yes. Every vacuum from Hajjar Shop comes with a 1-year warranty, and Bissell products come with a 2-year warranty. Our team in Zahle helps with after-sales service and spare parts.
