This is a list of vacuum cleaners and robot vacuum cleaner manufacturers. A vacuum cleaner is a device that uses an air pump to create a partial vacuum to suck up dust and dirt, usually from floors, and optionally from other surfaces as well. The dirt is gathered by either a dustbag or a rigid cartridge, which may be emptied and reused. Vacuum cleaners are used in homes as well as in industry, and exist in a variety of sizes and models.
A robotic vacuum cleaner is an autonomous robotic vacuum cleaner that has intelligent programming and a limited vacuum cleaning system. Some designs use spinning brushes to reach tight corners. Others combine a number of cleaning features (mopping, UV sterilization, etc.) simultaneous to vacuuming, thus rendering the machine into more than just a robot "vacuum" cleaner.
Manufacturers and specific models include:

Upright vacuum cleaners are an "all-in-one" unit, with the motor, dust collector, and cleaning head are all attached.

Stick vacuum cleaners are a lighter and sleeker variety of upright vacuum cleaners, typically with no bag. Models include:
