BobVila.com Tool of the Year 2024

The 2024 Tool of the Year Awards program is the first in what promises to become an annual tradition of celebrating the most notable new tools and home helpers. This package spotlights the handiest products launched in the last 12 months in seven essential home-improvement categories, from power tools to cleaning tools. We’re also recognizing a DIY Game Changer, an honor reserved for the year’s most exciting innovation for projects. See all of the winners here.

It is time-consuming, tough work to clean everything by hand. Reliable cleaning tools can help eliminate dirt and grime and cut cleaning time by half (or more). Over the years, our team has researched and tested hundreds of cleaning tools for home and workshop, so we know what makes the biggest difference in cleaning routines. When curating this list of new and noteworthy cleaning tools, we prioritized versatility, time-saving features, and unique technology. Whether you need to deep clean the grout in your bathroom shower or just want to sit back and let a robot do the cleaning, this lineup highlights some of 2024’s best new releases for reliable cleaning.

Bissell CrossWave OmniForce Wet/Dry Vac

The emergence of the vacuum-mop combo as a cleaning go-to in the last decade has revolutionized the floor-cleaning market, but most don’t replace the vacuum; the combination units suck up spills and other big, wet messes but don’t do a great job with dry debris. The new cordless Bissell CrossWave OmniForce, however, bucks the trend by offering a wet/dry mode and a dry-only mode. That means you can combine vacuuming and mopping in one, or simply use it as a cordless dry vacuum—even on area rugs. The innovative CrossWave OmniForce also features a tangle-free brush roll, separate clean and dirty water tanks, and a self-cleaning cycle to flush any debris out of the brush and into the dirty tank at the end of a job.

Get the Bissell CrossWave OmniForce Wet/Dry at Amazon for $229.99.

Roborock QRevo Curv Robot Vacuum

With its robust lineup of robot vacuums, Roborock continues to push the bounds of robot cleaning technology. The QRevo Curv, the brand’s latest cleaning marvel, now traverses thresholds and uneven terrain (say, from hard floors to thick carpet pile of up to 10 millimeters) thanks to its three independently operating wheels and AdaptiLift Chassis—no more getting stuck at entryways and area rugs, just continuous cleaning. Meanwhile, this ingenious little robot improves upon its cleaning power with a new brushroll design featuring short bristle rollers with spiral blades, which funnel hair into the dustbin without tangling.

Casabella Power Spin Scrubber

While most cleansers still require a little bit of elbow grease to remove grime, a spinning scrubber with soft but stiff bristles may reduce the need for harsh chemicals. The Casabella Power Spin Scrubber lets you toss the sponge. Its head rotates at speeds of up to 420 rpm to power through almost any buildup with little effort. Plus, the Casabella features a telescoping handle that extends up 47.5 inches and includes four brush heads to tackle messes from any angle. It impressed us with how much visible dirt it lifted from our linoleum floor after only one use. Take this cleaner for a spin in your kitchen, bathroom, or any room or surface that needs a good scrub.

Steam cleaners are great for chemical-free cleaning and sanitizing, but even handheld models can be bulky and cumbersome. That’s why this compact, pistol-style steam cleaner from Worx caught our attention. Powered by a 4Ah battery that is compatible with other Worx 20-volt tools, the SteamStorm offers cordless steam-cleaning at the push of a button. It preheats in 8 seconds and reaches temperatures of up to 220 degrees Fahrenheit. Swap between its five attachments from angled upholstery tools to grout cleaners and fabric covers to target tough messes everywhere from the car to the kitchen.

The newest high-tech carpet cleaner from Tineco boasts several features that make carpet cleaning a breeze. Its Smooth PowerTech operates a bit like a self-propelled lawn mower, propelling itself to help you push and pull with ease. Meanwhile, the iLoop Smart Sensor detects how dirty the carpet is and adjusts suction and water flow for the floor type and the degree of mess. Then, the Carpet One Cruiser’s PowerDry mode directs air heated to 167 degrees Fahrenheit onto freshly cleaned carpet to speed up the dry time. Finally, the self-cleaning mode keeps your hands off the dirty brush roll and dries it for storage—all in under 7 minutes.
