- Some inexpensive vacuum cleaners cost you more in disappointment than they do in dollars.
- But getting clean floors and carpets doesn't require spending a lot of money.
- Our favorite is the Shark Navigator Lift-Away. It performs like a champion, and the super-reasonable price is an additional bonus.
Vacuuming might not be the most enjoyable way to spend your free time, but there's no reason it needs to suck away your dollars along with your carpet's dirt. Sure, those ultra-expensive vacuums promise to extract every last speck of grime from your flooring, but do they really deliver results superior enough to justify their price?
In our research and tests, we found that a good vacuum doesn't have to cost a fortune. In fact, you can buy an excellent vacuum cleaner with nearly as many bells and whistles as the more expensive models for just three-hundred dollars - in some cases, a lot less.
Besides our own testing, we combed through top consumer product review websites and feedback from vacuum owners to find the best inexpensive vacuum cleaners you can buy.
Here are the best affordable vacuums you can buy:
- Bets overall: Shark Navigator Lift-Away
- Best canister vacuum: Eureka Mighty Mite Canister Vacuum
- Best cordless stick vacuum: Hoover Platinum Linx Cordless Stick Vacuum
- Best hand vacuum: Black & Decker Cordless Lithium Hand Vac
- Best robot vacuum: Eufy RoboVac 11S
