TechRadar Verdict
The Levoit LVAC-200 is a very good budget vacuum.
The build quality is good, extra tools useful and the battery life decent.
At only 6lbs, it’s easy to maneuver no matter the configuration.

However, it still offers solid performance for the price.
That’s the short version; read on for my full Levoit LVAC-200 Cordless Vacuum review.
It was first announced in November 2023 and sits in TechRadar’s budget price bracket for manual vacuums.
At time of writing, this is the only vacuum in Levoit’s range.
The stick vacuum itself is mostly white with black accents, and has a removable battery.
Three LED lights are located on the front of the vacuum head.
Inside that vacuum head is an anti-tangle brush.
Setting up the vacuum took no time at all.
I connected the wand to the handheld part and then attached the vacuum head to the wand.
The dustbin is 0.75L, and it’s attached to the front of the vacuum.
A wall mount is provided if you’d prefer.
On top of the dustbin is a power button.
(Here’s more onhow to tell how much suction a vacuum has).
The filter is washable.
The charger plugs into the side of the battery.
I also utilized the different accessories to clean my furniture and blinds.
My testing process began by vacuuming my entire house as I normally would.
The floorhead is equipped with LED lights to help illuminate dingy areas.
Here, you’ll have to change the suction mode manually.
I also tested out the two supplied detail tools.
I used the crevice tool to clean tight spaces around furniture and the corners of the wall.
The results were great.
What surprised me the most was how much difficulty the vacuum had with picking up cereal on hard floors.
When I ran these same tests on my rugs, the results were slightly different.

The Levoit vacuum picked up cereal way better on carpet than it did on hard floors.
All the dust and debris are contained in a dustbin on the front of this cordless vacuum.
It is very easy to dump the bin.

Beyond that, I didn’t have to do much maintenance.
The brushroll does a good job of preventing the tangling of hair, string, or debris.
However, it’s simple to remove it from the vacuum head and wash it separately if required.

The filters are also washable and should be washed once a month, then replaced every three months.
However, when I ran the vacuum on the lowest suction setting, it only lasted about 42 minutes.
On the medium suction setting I managed 25 minutes of cleaning.

In my opinion, the vacuum has a decent battery life considering how much it costs.
This is much faster than the 4-5-hour estimate that Levoit provides on its website.
Should you buy the Levoit LVAC-200 cordless vacuum?

You’re getting solid performance, battery life and build quality for the price.
Don’t buy it if…
Your home is full of carpetsThis vacuum is better suited to homes with hard floors and rugs.
If you have a number of rooms with carpets, you’ll be better with a more powerful model.
All that can extend your cleaning times.
