I tested Dreametech's powerful and space-saving stick vacuums and they give similar Dyson models a run for their money. The stylish vacuum picks up everything in its path and is so quiet, it barely even startles the dog. 

Speaking of pets, this cordless vacuum features tangle-free design built into the roller which mostly keeps pet hair from stopping the rollers dead in their tracks. It comes with several attachments for cleaning the inside of a car and those hard-to-reach spaces around the home. While the T20 is advertised as a hardwood floor vac, I found it handled area rugs, too. There are four different cleaning modes to toggle between and change the suction level to match the surface under you. 

The T20 runs for about 70 minutes on a full charge and weighs just 14 pounds, so you can vacuum the whole house in one go without exhausting your arm.
