The Wyze Cordless Vacuum S is light and easy to carry, but independent testing finds uneven pickup: it performs better on low-pile carpet than on bare floors, where larger debris can be scattered or left behind. It is most convincing for quick cleanups in a small home, not as an all-surface replacement for a full-size vacuum. Runtime also depends heavily on suction mode, and the S lacks the wall mount and upholstery tool included with the original model.
What the Wyze Cordless Vacuum S includes
Wyze describes the S as an indoor, cordless stick vacuum with two motors, an LED screen, three suction levels, an LED-lit motorized floor brush and a removable lithium-ion battery. Its listed suction is 6,000 Pa in Eco, 9,000 Pa in Medium and 20,000 Pa (100 AW) in Turbo. Wyze lists the main unit at 2.8 lb and the assembled vacuum at 4.9 lb. These are manufacturer specifications, not independent performance measurements. Wyze Cordless Vacuum S specifications and FAQ

Wyze’s FAQ lists the crevice tool and 2-in-1 brush along with the floor brush, tube, battery, charger, dust cup and filter. RTINGS’ documented box contents list a crevice tool, wand, floorhead, battery, charger and filter; its review notes that no wall mount or upholstery tool is supplied. Because these lists differ, check the package contents for the specific listing or bundle you are considering rather than assuming every accessory is included. RTINGS review and box contents
Wyze says the vacuum is intended for indoor, dry surfaces and works best on bare floors and short, firm carpet. The company does not recommend it for thick or plush carpet. It is not a wet/dry vacuum: Wyze warns against liquids, hazardous or sharp materials, burning objects and pet waste. Wyze use guidance
#1 Best Overall
- As Light as a Feather : The Wyze Cordless Vacuum S weighs in at just 2.8 pounds, it’s so lightweight that it can reach everywhere in the house. Despite this light weight, it doesn’t skimp on power.
- 20,000 Pa Suction Power : Wyze Stick Vacuum Cleaner offers three suction levels: Eco, Medium, and Turbo. Turbo mode has the most suction power (20,000 Pa, or 100 air watts) for intensive spot cleaning, Medium mode balances suction power (9,000 Pa) and battery life. Eco mode offers the longest battery life for big jobs (6,000 Pa).
- Easy to Use with Crystal-Clear Screen : The Wyze Cordless Vacuum S is easy to set up and use. You just unbox the unit and its accessories, then plug it in and wait for it to charge. While charging, the screen shows the current battery percentage level. No more guess game about the battery life, power mode, and vacuum performance.
- Two Motors Good for Pet Hairs : We added another motor with 9,500 RPM of power in the brush head because we’re as serious about cleaning as you are about picking up every strand of Fido’s majestic mane.
- Long-lasting, Interchangeable batteries : In ECO mode, enjoy up to 40 minutes of fade-free power that lasts until the job is done. Add an additional battery pack for a total of 80 minutes of run time.
How well does it clean different floors?
RTINGS published its review on February 19, 2025 and updated it on January 16, 2026, using Test Bench 1.4 for testing that included runtime, mobility, air quality and swappable-battery evaluation. Its scores are category ratings from RTINGS’ testing, not survey results or a guarantee of performance in every home. The review reports 6.7 for House and 7.6 for Small Apartment. RTINGS testing and category scores
Bare floors: the main weakness
RTINGS rates Bare Floor Pickup 5.3. Its testers found that larger debris could be left behind, the brushroll could scatter debris, and some material could lodge in the floorhead and fall out when the head was lifted. That makes the S a less dependable choice for homes where bare-floor pickup is the priority, especially if you regularly vacuum larger pieces of debris.
Low-pile and thick carpet
RTINGS rates Carpet Pickup 6.5. It reports better results on low-pile carpet and with medium-to-large debris, but difficulty collecting fine material from high-pile carpet. This broadly fits Wyze’s own caution against thick or plush carpet. If your home has substantial deep carpet, the S is not a strong all-purpose pick.
Rank #2
- [55KPA Powerful Suction] Cordless vacuum cleaner is equipped with a powerful 650W brushless motor with the strongest suction power up to 55,000Pa, which can easily capture dust, crumbs, pet hair and large particles on carpets, hardwood floors and tiles, and efficiently solve the cleaning problems.
- [Max 70 Mins Running Time] Equipped with 8*2800mAh rechargeable battery pack, the X100 stick vacuum runs up to 70 mins on low suction mode (tested in no-load condition, 25°C room temp, new fully charged battery). It handles whole-house cleaning for large homes on a single charge, seamlessly covering living rooms, bedrooms, studies and kitchens with no need for frequent recharging.
- [V-shaped anti-winding brush] V-shaped spiral brush with the guide comb design to form a "cutting+dredging" dual anti-entanglement system, whether it's stubborn hair clumps deep in the carpet or fine hairs in the floor crevices, can be quickly rolled into the dust cup, effectively solving the problem of entanglement common to traditional vacuum cleaners.
- [Self-standing design] Vacuum cleaners for Home stands on its own , whether it is answering the phone in the middle, changing the cleaning area, or sorting out sundries, it can stands on its own anywhere without looking for a support point, and there is no need to worry about dust overflow or body collision damage caused by tilting and overturning of the vacuum cleaner.
- [Smart Touch Screen] The top of the cordless stick vacuum cleaner is equipped with LED touch screen, which can adjust the suction by touching the screen, and can also check the battery life, dust cup fullness and filter maintenance at any time to enjoy intelligent cleaning.
Small versus large debris
Performance depends not only on the floor but also on what you are vacuuming. RTINGS describes the S as doing better with medium and large debris on low-pile carpet than with larger debris on bare floors or fine material on high-pile carpet. In practice, do not read its maximum suction figure as proof that it will collect every kind of debris equally well on every surface.
How does it handle pet hair?
RTINGS gives Pet Hair Pickup a 6.7. The floor brush lifts much of the hair from carpet, though testers report that it can drag or miss some strands. Furniture and bedding are less convenient: the review describes upholstery cleaning as effortful because the narrow crevice tool needs numerous passes. RTINGS’ box assessment does not include a turbo or mini motorized tool, so do not assume one comes with the vacuum. Wyze lists a mini motorized brush head as an accessory; verify its current availability and compatibility before buying. Wyze product page and accessories
How long does a charge last, and how long does charging take?
Wyze advertises up to 40 minutes in Eco, 23 minutes in Medium and 10 minutes in Turbo, with a stated full-charge time of 4–6 hours. RTINGS measured 13 minutes at the short end and 43 minutes at the long end, and a 234-minute recharge in its test setup. RTINGS says its maximum runtime was a little longer than Wyze’s Eco figure and its high-power runtime slightly exceeded the advertised 10 minutes; those results are test-specific, not a promise for every cleaning session. Wyze runtime and charging specifications RTINGS runtime and recharge test
Rank #3
- READY TO GO WHENEVER YOU ARE: Get up to 50 minutes of power with the Crevice or Pet Tool in Eco mode, 30 minutes with the vacuum head, and 12 minutes in Turbo mode. Note: Runtimes are based on testing at room temperature
- TACKLE URGENT MESSES FAST: Powerful suction handles unexpected cleaning tasks with ease, so you stay stress-free. Note: This vacuum is designed for dry messes only and should not be used to clean up wet spills or liquids
- LIGHTWEIGHT & FLEXIBLE FOR EVERYDAY USE: Easy top-to-bottom cleaning, lies 180° flat to reach under furniture, and includes 3 LED lights to spot dust as you go
- EFFORTLESS CLEANING FOR TRICKY SPOTS: The custom 2-in-1 pet tool simplifies cleaning up hair, and the dusting brush doubles as a crevice tool for hard-to-reach areas
- FINISH DAILY CLEANING TASKS FAST AND STRESS-FREE: No more wasting time untangling hair from the brush. Our anti-tangle brush is designed to help you clean quickly with less hassle
The battery is removable and replaceable, and RTINGS says a spare can be purchased separately from Wyze. A charged spare can extend total cleaning time, but it does not make a depleted battery charge faster. If you are buying one to swap into the S, choose the S-specific battery rather than assuming the original Wyze Cordless Vacuum battery will fit.
How is the S different from the original Wyze Cordless Vacuum?
Wyze’s comparison page lists these headline differences. The maximum runtime and suction figures are manufacturer claims, not independently measured results. Wyze comparison of the S and original Cordless Vacuum
| Specification or feature | Wyze Cordless Vacuum S | Original Wyze Cordless Vacuum |
|---|---|---|
| Advertised maximum battery life | Up to 40 minutes | Up to 50 minutes |
| Advertised full-charge time | 4–6 hours | 4–5 hours |
| Advertised maximum suction | 20,000 Pa | 24,000 Pa |
| Accessories shown in Wyze’s comparison | No additional insert, wall mount base or 2-in-1 brush in the comparison chart | Additional insert, wall mount base and 2-in-1 brush |
The models share some listed accessories, including the crevice tool, HEPA filter and dust cup, but Wyze recommends using parts supplied for the appropriate model. In particular, Wyze states: “The battery pack and charger are not interchangeable across devices.” RTINGS also characterizes the S as performing a little worse across surfaces than the original and notes the S’s lack of the original’s wall mount and upholstery/soft-bristle brush.

Storage, dust capacity and filter performance
It does not stand up on its own
Wyze says the S does not stand upright by itself and does not come with a wall mount. Plan for a place to lean or lay it down between uses; the missing mount matters most if you expect to store a stick vacuum vertically in a closet or utility area. The original model’s wall mount should not be assumed to fit the S.
Capacity figures conflict
Wyze’s product page gives two different dust-cup capacities: 0.7 L in its technical specifications and 0.55 L in its FAQ. RTINGS lists 0.35 L in its review table. The published figures do not establish one settled capacity, so treat them as conflicting specifications rather than choosing one as definitive.

Filtration and emptying
RTINGS reports Air Quality 7.6 and Particle Filtration 9.1. In its air-quality test, average PM10 was 1.4 μg/m³ and average PM2.5 was 1.1 μg/m³. Its qualitative finding is that the filter contains nearly all particles while the vacuum is running, but emptying the bagless dust cup creates a dust cloud. Empty it outdoors or away from living areas if you want to limit dust dispersal indoors. These are RTINGS test results, not a claim that emptying is dust-free.

Noise is also unclear
Wyze’s product page lists Turbo noise as 65 dBA in its technical specifications but describes it as “about <80 dBA” in the FAQ. Those statements do not support a single definitive noise figure. Wyze specifications and FAQ
Cleaning the vacuum and finding replacement parts
Wyze says the dust cup and filters can be removed and rinsed. Let the filter dry completely before reinstalling it. Wyze also advises regular cleaning of the motorized brush and says a razor blade can be run through the brush groove to loosen hair or debris; use care around the brush and its bristles. RTINGS finds the components accessible but reports that aligning and reinstalling the brushroll can be fiddly. Wyze care guidance RTINGS maintenance observations
Wyze lists an S-specific battery pack, S charger, floor brush and foldable tube, as well as a Wyze Cordless Vacuum HEPA Filter two-pack and mini motorized brush head as accessories on the product page. Check current stock and confirm the exact model fit before ordering. The model-comparison guidance about non-interchangeable batteries and chargers is especially important when replacing those parts.

Quick Recap
Who should consider the Wyze Cordless Vacuum S?
- A reasonable fit: someone in a smaller home who values low weight, portability and quick cleanup, and whose floors are mostly short, firm carpet or who accepts the S’s limitations on bare floors.
- A weaker fit: a household that needs consistently strong pickup on bare floors, fine debris on deep carpet, or easy pet-hair removal from furniture and bedding.
- Check before buying: the package’s included tools, where the vacuum will be stored, which battery or charger model you need, and whether current accessory listings specify the S.
