what are the best vacuum cleaners to tidy up fast?
They say, what goes up, must come down – especially when it comes to Christmas trees. And if you’ve opted for a real one, the “down” part tends to be messy if you’re not careful.
While lifestyle experts Barbara Costello aka Brunch with Babs and Martha Stewart have long told us to place a Christmas Tree Removal Bag ($7) underneath prior to setting up, we’ve gotta admit year after year we overlook this small step. While we love the intention, maybe there’s something about planning for the end of the holidays right at the beginning we just can’t put our heart into.
But try as we may to put it out of our minds, after a couple weeks the needles begin to fall and our minds move quickly to ideas about cleaning up. And the best way to do that? A good vacuum.
Whether you fancy the easy-to-maneuver cordless, a high-tech robot you can control at your whims or a powerful plug-in that will definitely get the job done, there’s a vacuum for you. Ahead, find the 6 best smart luxury vacuum cleaners, including cordless and high-tech robot versions, to help you pick up those pesky needles and more this holiday season. Or turbocharge your New Year’s resolution to tidy up!

1. miele c1 turbo canister vacuum
German brand Miele’s Compact C1 Turbo Canister Vacuum ($449) is a great option for floor-to-ceiling cleaning because it features multiple attachments for use on different surfaces and hard-to-reach areas such as in the corner where all the needles fell. With 1200W, it’s suction power far surpasses that of a traditional canister vacuum and it’s also smaller in size than a standing vacuum making it ideal for apartments and smaller storage spaces.
Like most canister vacuums, it performs best on hardwood floors and low-pile carpeting, and you can toggle between six different suction settings depending on the surface you’re cleaning – which can be very helpful as you move from room to room. For those who suffer from allergies, the Miele vacuum has a bagged design and self-sealing collar, so there’s no escaping once the dust and dirt are vacuumed.

For a truly deep clean carpet you can’t go wrong with the Dyson Ball Animal 2 Upright Vacuum ($500). From shag to Berber, this model collects fine dust and debris exceptionally well. While more bulky and heavier (it’s 17lbs) than the previous models out list, it will get the job done.
