Best 2018 Vacuums for Floorhead design
Release year
The two-brush floorhead design was praised as one of the best carpet-cleaner brush systems overall.
Pros: Pet-Ready Features, Tool-change simplicity
Cons: Support and Reliability, Overall durability/longevity
Floorhead design drew strong but mixed evidence: several heads were praised, while the Turboteq head was transformative but sometimes inconvenient to swap.
Pros: Stair Cleaning, Upholstery / Above-Floor Pickup
Cons: Packaging quality, Hair-removal channel issues
Floorhead feedback was positive for the powered head design, though one reviewer said the V8 head was only slightly improved for hard floors.
Pros: Suction and Airflow, Noise level
Cons: Hard Floor — Large Debris Intake, Suitability for heavy-duty use
Floorhead feedback was mixed, with praise for debris gates and function but complaints about older/nozzle limits and loose or disliked heads.
Pros: Ongoing ownership costs (bags, filters
Cons: Onboard tool storage, Suitability for heavy-duty use
Floorhead feedback is sharply mixed, from good-enough or job-done comments to complaints about poor brushrolls and a difficult static head.
Pros: Clogging and debris prevention, Filtration / Dust Containment
Cons: Cordless convenience, Hair‑Wrap / Tangle Resistance
The inlet/nozzle design can hold back pickup, with one comparative test linking the large inlet to weak suction on a mat.
Pros: Assembly and Setup, Cordless convenience
Cons: Edge and Baseboard Cleaning (Hard Floors), Under-Furniture Pickup
Floorhead design is a limitation in one lab review because the cleaning path is notably narrow.
Pros: Hair Pickup — Carpets, Airflow blowback
Cons: Stair Cleaning, Suitability for heavy-duty use
