The Dreame R20 Pure is the cheapest vacuum on this list at $129.99, down from $299.99 when we checked, and Dreame is the clearest maker here about runtime. Dreame lists 90 minutes in Eco mode, 30 minutes in Med and 7 minutes in Turbo, which is the real picture for any cordless vacuum and useful when you are replacing a corded machine that never ran out. Suction is rated at 150AW and 20kPa from a 425W motor. The main body weighs 3.75 lbs, the lightest here, and the 8 x 2,500mAh battery pack is swappable. A CelesTect blue light on the brush shows dust, and an LED screen flags battery level, a blocked duct or a stuck roller. The 0.158 gallon dust cup empties with one press. The limits are short Turbo runtime, a 1-year warranty and about half the suction of the Z30. We compared documented features and published prices.
