Quick Verdict
The Levoit LVAC-300 takes this by a clear 1.4 points. Publishes air watts and a real per-mode runtime table — at a third of Dyson's suction. The Wyze Cordless Vacuum S only makes sense if it wins on a category you care about more than the total.
The Wyze Cordless Vacuum S and Levoit LVAC-300 are both closely matched cordless Vacuum models, and the Wyze Cordless Vacuum S is $100 cheaper than the Levoit LVAC-300 ($129.99 vs $229.99). On Filtration & Sealing, the Levoit LVAC-300 leads (7.0 vs 3.5/10) — whether the whole machine is sealed or a HEPA element simply sits inside a leaky body, and what the claimed rating is actually measured at. On Suction Power, the Levoit LVAC-300 leads (6.0 vs 4.5/10) — actual cleaning force at the head, judged on air watts where a maker publishes them and discounted where only Pa or motor watts are quoted. On Sustained Runtime, the Levoit LVAC-300 leads (6.0 vs 4.5/10) — how long the machine really runs on max power with the motorised floor head attached — not the eco-mode, bare-tool figure on the box. Overall, the Levoit LVAC-300 scores 7.3/10 across our 8 scoring categories versus 5.9/10 for the Wyze Cordless Vacuum S. Below, we break down the full spec sheet, category-by-category scores, and exactly who should buy which one.
Side-by-Side Comparison
| Spec | Wyze Cordless Vacuum S | Levoit LVAC-300 |
|---|---|---|
| Price | $129.99 | $229.99 |
| Release Year | 2024 | 2025 |
| Machine Type | Dry cordless stick vacuum, converts to handheld | Dry cordless stick vacuum, converts to handheld |
| Suction (as published) | Sources conflict on units: Wyze quotes 20,000 Pa in Turbo (9,000 Medium, 6,000 Eco) and separately claims '100 AW'. Pa is sealed suction measured at a blocked inlet, not work done at the head, and 100 AW alongside 20,000 Pa is not a figure Wyze substantiates | 90 air watts. Levoit publishes air watts, so it is directly comparable with Dyson's 240 AW rather than a Pa figure |
| Runtime, Eco / Headline (min) | 40 | 60✓ |
| Runtime, Max Power (min) | 10 | 12✓ |
| What the Runtime Claim Actually Means | Wyze publishes all three modes — 40 minutes Eco, 23 Medium, 10 Turbo — but does not state whether the powered floor head is fitted for any of them | Levoit states the attachment for each figure: 60 minutes in Eco with the crevice tool, 40 minutes in Standard with the vacuum head or motorised brush, and 12 minutes in Turbo. The 60-minute headline is the non-powered tool |
| Removable Battery | Yes — removable 6-cell pack (2,000 mAh x 6, 21.6 V DC), 4-6 hours to charge | Yes — detachable 3000 mAh pack with three LED cells, charges attached or removed |
| Spare Battery | Not published by the manufacturer | Not published by the manufacturer. Note the LVAC-200 and LVAC-300 packs are not interchangeable |
| Dock / Wall Mount | Neither. An AC charger only — no wall mount, no dock, no stand in the box | Wall-mount bracket included and it needs screws, but the vacuum free-stands without it. No dock and no auto-empty |
| Filtration | 3-stage with a filter Wyze calls HEPA but rates at '95% of particles under 0.3 micron'. Genuine HEPA is 99.97% at 0.3 micron. No sealed-system claim | 5-stage with a HEPA element, Levoit claiming 99.99% of 0.3-micron particles retained. Levoit makes no sealed-whole-machine claim |
| Bin / Tank Capacity | Sources conflict: Wyze's own product page gives 0.55 L in one place and 0.7 L in another | 3.2 cups (about 0.76 L) with a bottom release |
| Weight (lbs) | 4.9✓ | 6.56 |
| Filters, Consumables & Self-Clean | Washable filter. Wyze publishes no replacement schedule, no filter price and no brush-roll availability | Washable metal pre-filters and a washable HEPA element. Levoit publishes neither a replacement schedule nor a filter price |
| Warranty | 12 months | 24 months |
| Colors | White/Grey | White/Grey |
Category Scores
Suction Power
The Levoit LVAC-300 leads clearly here, 6.0 against 4.5 — a 1.5-point margin on actual cleaning force at the head, judged on air watts where a maker publishes them and discounted where only Pa or motor watts are quoted. If that is what you are buying for, the Wyze Cordless Vacuum S does not close the gap elsewhere.
Sustained Runtime
The Levoit LVAC-300 leads clearly here, 6.0 against 4.5 — a 1.5-point margin on how long the machine really runs on max power with the motorised floor head attached — not the eco-mode, bare-tool figure on the box. If that is what you are buying for, the Wyze Cordless Vacuum S does not close the gap elsewhere.
Filtration & Sealing
The Levoit LVAC-300 leads clearly here, 7.0 against 3.5 — a 3.5-point margin on whether the whole machine is sealed or a HEPA element simply sits inside a leaky body, and what the claimed rating is actually measured at. If that is what you are buying for, the Wyze Cordless Vacuum S does not close the gap elsewhere.
Handling & Ergonomics
The Wyze Cordless Vacuum S leads clearly here, 9.0 against 8.5 — a 0.5-point margin on weight, balance, whether power is a push-button or a trigger you must hold, and how it stores. If that is what you are buying for, the Levoit LVAC-300 does not close the gap elsewhere.
Maintenance & Emptying
The Levoit LVAC-300 leads clearly here, 7.5 against 6.0 — a 1.5-point margin on bin or tank emptying, whether your hand ends up near the dust, self-clean quality and the ongoing cost of filters, bags and detergent. If that is what you are buying for, the Wyze Cordless Vacuum S does not close the gap elsewhere.
Battery System
The Levoit LVAC-300 leads clearly here, 7.0 against 6.0 — a 1.0-point margin on removable or sealed, how many packs are included, what a spare costs and whether the pack is shared across a range. If that is what you are buying for, the Wyze Cordless Vacuum S does not close the gap elsewhere.
Versatility
The Levoit LVAC-300 leads clearly here, 7.0 against 5.5 — a 1.5-point margin on handheld conversion, above-floor tools, carpet capability and wet-mopping ability. If that is what you are buying for, the Wyze Cordless Vacuum S does not close the gap elsewhere.
Value
The Levoit LVAC-300 leads clearly here, 9.0 against 8.5 — a 0.5-point margin on what you actually get for the street price once consumables and missing accessories are counted. If that is what you are buying for, the Wyze Cordless Vacuum S does not close the gap elsewhere.

Pros & Cons
Wyze Cordless Vacuum S
Pros
- +$129.99 for a removable battery, a motorised head and a published three-mode runtime table
- +4.9 lb assembled — light enough to carry upstairs one-handed, and the handheld half is 2.8 lb
- +Publishes suction per mode as well as runtime per mode, which most budget brands avoid
- +A second motor in the brush head rather than a passive roller
Cons
- −The 'HEPA filter' is rated at 95% of sub-0.3-micron particles. Real HEPA means 99.97%. This is not an allergy vacuum whatever the listing says
- −No wall mount, no dock, no stand — it ships with a bare AC charger and nowhere to put it
- −10 minutes in Turbo, and Wyze will not say whether that is with the floor head running
- −Wyze's own page gives two different bin capacities, which does not inspire confidence in the rest of the sheet
Levoit LVAC-300
Pros
- +Publishes air watts and a three-mode runtime table that names the attachment for each figure — unusually honest at this price
- +Self-standing, so unlike Dyson and Miele you are not obliged to drill a bracket into a wall
- +Detachable battery that charges off the machine, at a price where sealed packs are the norm
- +Around $230 street for 90 AW, a HEPA element and a 2-year warranty
Cons
- −90 air watts is barely a third of the Dyson's 240 — this is a maintenance vacuum, not a deep-carpet one
- −12 minutes in Turbo, and 40 rather than 60 as soon as the powered head goes on
- −A HEPA element in a body Levoit never claims is sealed is not an allergy solution
- −No spare-battery price published, and the LVAC-200 pack will not fit
