The 6 Best Vacuum Cleaners of 2025

Depending on what kind of floors you have and the debris you encounter, having the right vacuum for the job is crucial to keeping your space clean. Finding the best option will vary depending on your specific needs. If you have staircases or bare floors, you may want to consider canister vacuums for their portability and range. An upright vacuum can help pick up debris and hair on high-pile textiles if you live in a carpeted home. A lightweight stick/handheld vacuum is also a good choice if you need maneuverability above all else. Of course, there’s lots more to consider when buying a vacuum, and these suggestions just scratch the surface; if you want some more help getting orientated, check out our FAQ section below, as it goes into much more detail.

Canon’s latest app has nothing to do with its cameras

Canon has announced the ‘Live Switcher Mobile’ app, designed to let you livestream from multiple iOS devices, providing multiple angles “without the need for special equipment or complex wiring.” ‘Special equipment’ apparently also includes Canon’s cameras, as the app will currently only take in videos from iOS devices.

Let’s break down what using the app will look like: you’ll have one iOS device – an iPhone or an iPad – that acts as the control device. Using it, you can switch between wireless video streams coming from multiple iOS devices, and from the host device’s own cameras as well. You’ll also use the device to manage your stream, adding and adjusting layouts and overlays that include text and still images. The company says it’ll also be able to show you user comments.
