Keeping your Airbnb rental sparkling clean is essential for the long-term success of your rental business. Whatever effort you invest in giving the home a spotless appearance and making guests feel safe and comfortable will reflect in the quality of reviews you get from your customers.

But the kind of cleaning that makes happy guests cannot be superficial. You shouldn’t merely create an appearance of cleanliness; the home must actually be clean. Its level of cleanliness should be apparent in carpets that are completely free of dust, dander, pests, and lingering odors.

One of the easiest ways to get this level of cleanliness in an Airbnb rental is to make the right choice when shopping for a vacuum cleaner for the home. Most vacuum cleaners on the market lack the power to pick all the dirt off the floor on the first run. You don’t want that.

Cleaning your Airbnb should not require you to vacuum floors, carpets, or furniture 2-3 times to get good results. You should be able to get rid of all unwanted stuff on the first run. However, in order to get that, you need a superior-quality Airbnb vacuum cleaner.

To help you with that we did some research to find the best vacuum cleaners for Airbnb rentals. 

Here is our list of 5 top vacuum cleaners for the best results when cleaning your Airbnb.

1. Dyson V7 handheld cordless

The Dyson V7 is powered by a V7 motor, which combines with its 15-cyclone array to generate enough suction power to clean carpets thoroughly. Perhaps the best thing about this cordless vacuum is its lightweight, which makes it really easy to maneuver.

The machine’s wand will reach most areas, including ceilings, and can be removed to make the vacuum even more versatile. This makes the Dyson V7 great for cleaning around tight corners. It also has a reasonably short recharge time of 3.5 hours and comes with a large 0.14-gallon dust canister.

The Dyson V7 operates quietly and is moderately priced. The only challenge with this vacuum is you have to do some work to clean around the edges.

2. Miele Swing H1 QuickStep

Perhaps the number one reason to buy this Airbnb vacuum cleaner is the integrated glide feature, which is second to none. Its ability to efficiently suck up dirt from sensitive surfaces makes it the best vacuum for cleaning smooth floor surfaces.

It works well for cleaning carpets and comes with a footswitch for smooth transitions for different surfaces. Another selling point of this vacuum is its maneuverability and an extra-long cord that dispenses the need to unplug the machine during use.

The Miele Swing H1 is lightweight and completely hassle-free to use. The only challenge with this vacuum is it is not the best equipment for cleaning large Airbnb rentals.

3. Riccar Superlite R10s

If you are concerned about the presence of allergens in your Airbnb, the Riccar Superlite R10s should be your first choice. This vacuum incorporates special features to deliver superior air filtration and the best cleaning for floors and carpets. 

The innovative Tandem Air System has two motors working simultaneously to provide immense suction power. It features a HEPA filtration system, plus charcoal filters for getting rid of odors. The vacuum offers six settings for choosing pile height when cleaning carpets.

A longer hose ensures you can reach further with this machine without tipping it and it has very durable materials in high-wear areas to prolong the vacuum’s life.

4. Sebo Automatic X4

The Sebo X4 comes with a hospital-grade filtration system and has the honor of being endorsed by the British Allergy Foundation. It features a powerful motor that gives it superior cleaning performance across all kinds of surfaces like floors and carpets.

In spite of the powerful suction created by the motor, this vacuum is very quiet. It also features a sealed system with a highly improved ability to capture allergens, including the finest pet hair.  Although the Sebo X4 is heavy, it is surprisingly light and easy to move. 

It includes a long extension hose, long power cord, and bags that last a long time. Its only problem is its hefty price tag, but it more than makes up for that in performance.
