Over the course of the nearly 15 years I’ve spent writing posts for this blog and my social media channels, I’ve got a pretty good handle on the topics you guys are most interested in, and one of the top contenders for subject matter is maintaining a clean home with pets. If you’ve been following along with me for more than a few years, then you know that John and I have rescued many, many cats and dogs since getting married over a decade ago. We adopted our eighth pet this past summer, in fact, so we definitely know a thing or two about cleaning up after animals.

The biggest takeaway? It’s very important to stay on top of vacuuming—we’re talking almost every single day. Which is why I thought I’d talk a little bit about the new cordless vacuum that we’ve been testing out lately. We love it, and I think it could become a staple in your pet-filled household, too!

This is the LEVOIT LVAC-200 Cordless Vacuum, and we’ve been using it for almost a month now. There’s so much to love about this vacuum. It’s affordable, quieter than any other vacuum we’ve ever had, yet still manages to boast heavy-duty cleaning abilities. The suction has been awesome on our rugs and upholstered furniture, and it also picks up tiny bits on our hardwood floors (think: fur and litter) that our other cordless vacuum has traditionally just kicked around.

Weirdly, though, one of my favorite things is the fact that it can stand up on its own (as you’ll see pictured below). If you click the vacuum head and handle up at a stable 90 degrees at floor level, it can stand up without being held or leaned up against a wall or piece of furniture. I find that I’m constantly having to lean down to pick up pet toys while vacuuming, and the fact that this vacuum can balance vertically by itself gives me hands-free movement that makes vacuuming so much quicker and less of a hassle.

Anyway, I’m not sure if this model will be part of the LEVOIT Black Friday sale, but I wanted to tell you about it just in case. Like many of you, we’re on a super tight budget when it comes to investing in gadgets for our home, so we’ve only ever bought our vacuums during Black Friday sale time. It’s really the only thing we ever even consider during that annual shopping weekend! I would highly recommend the LVAC-200 if you’re in the market for a lightweight, easy to charge cordless vacuum. Feel free to use the comments section of today’s post if you have any questions about this vacuum, or if you have your own favorite vacuum to recommend.
