20 Best Vacuums For Cheap (2022 Updated)

The best home gadget I have ever had! It’s just an amazing! After a long hard day, I have no power to fight with my messy house, this robot vacuum helps a lot. Suction is good enough (not as good as my Shark vacuum) to pick all the small and bigger bits.

Leaves my floor nice and clean. How I ever lived without it before?😂.

We love the Ilife V3S robot vacuum ( pets version of course, for those of us with very hairy fur balls )! Purchased on Amazon after reading pretty good reviews about it! A good price for the product! I’ve had this bad boy for over a year and a half now and it’s still going strong after having been accidentally kicked across the room on numerous occasions.

It really does pick up giant quantities of pet hair – which cut down on my sweeping and manually vacuuming everyday! I docked a star because I really wish it mapped out the areas in which it vacuumed! It just randomly goes from place to place with no real rhyme or reason, but I still love the thing! Does its job!.

Picked this up for a small apartment with hardwood floors, and a few area rugs. We expected to not like it and have it not work well for our living situation, and end up giving it to the wife’s parents, but we ended up keeping it.

The first time the little guy got turned on, he had a lot of work ahead of him. He got right to it, and did a really good job actually. Filled up his little bin, and the floor just felt different on the feet.

I have read reviews that say he kind of sucks on carpet, but actually he did pretty well on the area rugs too. He tends to make a few passes over each area, so if he misses is the first time, he’ll get it eventually.

At one point the wife and I were talking, so we pushed his power button so we could hear each other. After a minute or two he powered back up with the vacuum off, and returned right to his base. Poor little guy musta thought we were mad at him.

=( Overall great product, especially for the price.

Excellent vacuum! It has REALLY powerful suction, it’s easy to operate and very maneuverable, and the dirt hopper is very simple to empty. Most striking of all, it’s the sort of vacuum that you don’t think about after using it – only its results.

My carpets are wonderfully soft and floors clean and smooth after vacuuming, and all I think about is just how nice they are to walk on. Not the vacuum. I believe an appliance like this should perform its function so seamlessly that the results are more noticeable than the device itself.

This is precisely the case with this vacuum. It sits in the corner until it is needed, then it does a wonderful job, and I go on living my life with clean floors!The HEPA exhaust filter is a great touch.

You can literally see all of the dirt swirling around in there that would otherwise be blasted out into the air.

I’ve never bought a Kenmore brand vacuum before, only HooverBissellShark. I usually have to buy a new vacuum every year (big dogs who shed and a son who brings home all the dirt from the ball field with him every day), so I’ve owned quite a few to compare to.

So far, this vacuum out cleans them all. It’s a bit heavier than I am use to, but this vacuum is self propelled and I barely have to push it along, even on thick carpets. It does a really good job keeping dust and dirt sealed within the system.

There was a definite noticeable difference in air quality and my allergies weren’t as bad after using this vacuum. (Compared to previous Hoover and bissell vacuums).

I do not have a pet, I purchased this a couple of months ago because it claimed to have excellent suction. I learned the suction is really no better than any other vaccum I have owned. I also not impressed with the tools that came with it.

The wand extends to twice its length, which is a great idea, but it is hard to lock it in place and it collapses while using it. The brush that came with it is a pivoting dusting tool, bascially a two piece dusting brush that has a joint, its not a thick brush, as the brush is only on the outside rim of the tool which easily comes apart from the nozzle itself, and is really not good for anything other than high usage such as a ceing fan.

It also includes a crevice tool, and a pet turbo tool. As I said, I do not have a pet. When I first expressed my opinion about the tools I was offered a free dust brush and an upholstery brush. It took over a month to receive the free brushes, the upholstery brush was odd, with a hard detachable part, and felt around the edge of the tool itself.

It went in the trash. The dusting tool was exactly like one I had pruchased on line, for a few dollars. the brush part is very thin, again the brush only goes around the edge of the tool. The dusting brush also not a vry good tool.

When I looked on line to see the cost of the tools, I could not find upholstery brush. I guess the tools don’t sell very well so they used them as giveaways to make me feel better about the purchase.

Overall the vacuum itself works well, has good suction and does what it was designed to do. Does it work well for pet hair, I don’t know, but I don’t see why not. MY suggestion is for Hoover to go back to the drawing board, and make brushes that will actually do a good job, and don’t give away something that is not salable.

I recommed the vaccum, but find another source for the brushes.

Purchased this vacuum because my girlfriend and I shed as much an animal and it leaves space for pet hair in the future; and it was in sale, plus decision fatigue from all those “top vacuums of 2022” websites.

I’ve used it for about a month now It is exactly what I was looking for after weeks of looking at different comparisons and website. It has powerful suction, great for hair (and pet hair) hose and attachments for hard to reach places, can turn the dial and go from hardwood to carpet easily.

If you’re sensitive to noise, it is loud; but it’s a powerful vacuum so that is to be expected. It’s sturdy and does not feel cheap. The extended wand for hard to reach places is hidden on the additional arm attachment so don’t worry.

The instruction are great for telling you how to clean it and there is even a suction pressure dial that indicates when you should clean the filters so that’s handy. For the style of vacuum it can reach pretty far using the main suction (meaning it can be lowered pretty close to the floor while still maintaining suction) but don’t expect miracles.

It manoeuvres like you’d expect from a vacuum if this type but really easy to push around. The suction is so strong that when you use the wand attachment the hose “shrinks” under the pressure so you have to fight that and keep the vacuum in place or it will roll towards you.

Zero complaints about it. I love it and it’s serving me well so far.

Somehow it slipped my mind when I ordered this. If you intend to use the attachments or vacuum hard floors with this vacuum then purchase something else. Why? when using the attachments or vacuuming hard floors you can not turn off the carpet roller brush.

Completely unacceptable and this is not unique to Hoover, you need to be careful when purchasing any upright vacuums though more expensive ones most likely will have the feature and even some less expensive ones will too.

I was being careful as Hoover does make a model that I am going to buy someplace else just like this one in the same price range with a carpet roller brush turn off lever. Im really disappointed in Hoover, they have a great product, nice long hose (really important to me) ok attachments at this price, even rubber coated wheels instead of hard plastic but I guess the competition to keep price low compared to the other manufacturers are having them leave off this needed brush turn off.

Its really silly trying to use the all thoughtful attachments with nice long hose only to have the carpet brush roll spinning like crazy in one place on your hardwood floors ( I was cringing when this was happening) and if not on the hardwood try using the attachments on carpet and the vacuum will start walking on its own while you use the attachments.

Product = Fail.

I have owned other leading brands in the past and let me tell you! Ever since I had purchase my 1st shark 5 years ago which it did last for that long until my tubing ripped and couldn’t find replacement parts for it.

The shark company provides wonderful products that really have a high performance. They’re efficient, lighted for better visibility, have great maneuverability when rotating. So when my husband found me this as a replacement I knew I just had to try it.

It came with 3 attachments and has a lift away function where I can leave the floor part and walk with the bucket basically and vacuum in hard to reach places and stairs. It’s not too heavy and very easy to use! I love how powerful the vacuum is.

It picks up any mess my littles leave me. I use this 3x a day and it’s not an imposition to unravel the cord plug it in an unplug and ravel the cord back up. It’s super quick and easy and honestly, I find vacuuming enjoyable and now have a machine that not only happens to be my favorite color, but my favorite brand as well! So happy to have found this! Oh and did I mention how easy it is to clean and there’s a compartment for when/if definitely when something gets Caught in the hose and clogs it, there’s a compartment you can open on the side to get it out.

How neat no more burning up motors and having to completely disassemble to resolve an issue. Shark Also has made it super easy to clean and empty. There’s a separate compartment in the bucket with a mesh bucket so that it stays in there and filters out the debris and keeps the hair and/ bigger things trapped up too.

Love love it!.

Got this today, was a breeze to assemble and get going. Picks up a lot of dirt and hair quickly, I like the no tangle bush as we have a longer hair dog, and my wife and daughter both have long hair which used to have to be cut from the beater bar of our old vac on a regular basis.

This one has 3 filters so good for allergies, and the dual brushes which did very well on carpet and hardwood, getting a lot of the dust on the wood floor the old one couldnt get. Only a few things to note, the bin is a bit small and had to be dumped a lot because of pet hair, 3 times on our main living room.

It is not the lightest vacuum but about the same as our old one. I wish it came with a cleaning brush head separate order. and had room on board for all the attachments instead of just 2. The head is low profile and fits places our old one would not, and it turns very well.

Will see how well it holds up as the Dyson 07 it is replacing lasted us for 20 years and did a good job consistently. Just didnt want to pay top dollar for a Dyson again. 3 months later and the vacuum is still doing a great job.

We have not had any problems with hair wrap on the brush bar with our golden retrievers fur. Still have to dump the bin a lot with pet fur. Still miss that there was no standard brush attachment, but came with basically two upholstery brushes one powered, one not.

About to order the standard long bristle cleaning brush so I can clean the air return and vents, be nice if the sizes were standard so I could just use the old ones from other vacuums. Another quick update, trying to find accessories like the dusting brush has been difficult.

Shark does not carry one on their website, even though the owners manual says they do, and cant or wont tell you the dimensions needed. Ordering one from Home Deliveries USA, let you know if it fits in a later update.

Well, it does vacuum well. And there is the HEPA filter. For reference, I am used to my old upright Eureka Boss Smart Vac (which lived a long life but recently died), and this Shark is harder use use in many ways.

For starters, a filter bag is so much easier to deal with than the canister, which has to be emptied after every vacuum, and doesn’t even empty completely on it’s own (i. e. you have to reach in to dislodge hair, etc).

I also failed to realize that with the swivel steering, the upright unit is just more unstable and a little harder to push overall as a result. The real kicker though is the almost complete uselessness of the attachments.

Because you have to take the upright handle off, the unit that is left is so short you then have to carry it around. In addition, the attachment tubing is so short that you have to bend over to use the attachments.

So you therefore are all bent over, trying to carry around the unit in order to use the attachments, which is very back breaking. So. It does vacuum; it does good on bare floors and area rugs of various pile depths.

If you never use attachments and don’t mind skin and nose contact with your floor detritus, then this vacuum could be fine for you.

this model served me well using it for a year at a big private restaurant that was nearly all carpet. if it can handle that. it can handle a home for years. great vac for $160, shark has the best suction, however more inexpensive models dont orovide the same suction so this one is qorth the extra $.

Just don’t be dumb and suck up sticks or rubber bands or wrappers, it’s not a shopvac, it will clog like any household vacuum! i love the adjustable suction control, the utility of the wand being long or short, the attachments are fine (as always the air driven furniture cleaner attachment is nearly useless not sure why any company bothers to make em unless belt driven).

easy to empty bucket and super easy to clean. if you get clog in the hose from sucking up something dumb, the hoses and wand and everything come apart so easy to clear clogs. fairly light (not the lightest but that’s the price you pay for a motor big enough to create good suction).

works great on carpet thick or thin and also bare floors which is rare for a vac to be good at both! very nice design, shark: dont change a thing.

WOW. Where to start. I usually spend less than $100 on my vacuums, but I went out on a limb and purchased this. I read through many reviews on this and multiple other Shark vaccums, and this one consistently stuck out to me.

I will start with the cons, since there is only one that I have found and that is the weight. It is definitely a heavier vaccum but with how powerful the suction is, it almost helps pull the vaccum through the carpet so it doesn’t feel overwhelming to use.

The PROS however, I have a list. 1. It’s so simple to break down and clean every part of it. I am able to rinse air dry the collection dirt collection cup easily. I throw the two (not one but two!!) filters in the washer and they air dry quickly.

2. It is so powerful that I can literally feel a difference in the first use on my carpet. 3. It is easy to use as a smaller, portable cup to vaccum steps or small areas. 4. The price is honestly well under how much it’s worth! I rate this vaccum highly and I get excited to use it every time.

Even the hubby enjoys using it haha.

Alright. We have 5 cats and two other vacuum cleaners both are made by Shark. They are corded and both have Hepa Filters great products but corded. As my Wife and I have gotten older the constant Room to room and plugging and unplugging have worn on us both.

The amount of cleaning on a daily basis with these animals can be time consuming. So I have been researching Cordless vacuum’s for sometime now and just couldn’t find anything that was a True Vacuum.

A rechargeable dust buster with a tube sticking out will not do. So I put it off. Until a couple of days ago while visiting a local Walmart my wife pointed out this unit and after reading the reviews and the same model going for $200.

00 in Amazon I thought for $149. 00 why not? So we went home and after charging the battery I was amazed and the suction and brush action on this unit. No slow down and the battery never gave way. So today we have purchased a second one from Walmart.

com and it’s on the way. It’s not a Hepa Filter and will not take the place of getting the dog and cat dander out of the carpet, but you can use it on a daily basis and save your back and be cordless in the process.

Litter, hair even plastic bottle caps Extra generic battery available at that more expensive web site with free shipping but the unit price at Walmart can’t be beat. Free shipping, Great Product and you will be hard pressed to realize this is a cordless vacuum with a collection cup as large as most newer bag less units on the market.

Easy decision and Highly recommend this product. Looking at Hoovers other rechargeable items too!.

For the price, the PowerSpeed Turbo Pet Cord Rewind Upright Vacuum is a decent solution for home cleaning, but some design quirks left me scratching my head. This vacuum cleaner faces the same challenges of any other model or brand that uses a dry bag or paper filter.

Once the pores of the aforementioned filter begin to clog you lose airflow, and thereby, your cleaning ability. This is why the decision to include a “more suction” or “less suction” adjustment left me scratching my head.

Why would anyone ever want less suction and thereby less cleaning power? Speaking of the auction adjustment, this vacuum is like many others in its class, in that, it has a detachable wand for non-floor cleaning.

Head scratcher #2 is that fact that this wand has no locking mechanism to keep it attached to the main hose. It simply slides down onto the receiving end, which is easily dislodged during normal floor cleaning.

I had to reattach the wand several times during my first use of the vacuum due to this reoccurring. This is a major oversight in my opinion. The attached pet tool works well, as does the dirt collection chamber and retractable cord, all of which are positives for this model.

The positives don’t outweigh the negatives for me unfortunately. The lack of a locking mechanism on the wand is a deal breaker and a constant annoyance.

I have a small apartment and was searching for a medium priced vaccuum of about the $250. 00 range when I purchased this item at an amazingly low price (less than $100. 00) thinking that it would be a loss but worth trying.

Not only has it turned out to be a spectacular performing vaccuum but I was amazed at how sturdily built it is. This is no thin walled piece of junk. I would say the it is better made than the last two disappointments I’ve purchased for twice to three times the price.

Even should it last only a year or two it would appear to still be a bargain as opposed to the last two that were definitely disappointing. I am not only pleased with it cleaning ability I am feeling rather smug that I took a chance and won.

I will admit that I purchased it open box and so expect it normally sells for slightly more but that just makes me feel even better for the purchase. Even at $125~$150 normal price I would still deem it a bargain.

As you can see in the photos I am still moving in but it has been filled and emptied maybe 8~10 times and performed flawlessly throughout that time. And I have much more carpeting arriving soon and am not worried in the least.

First off, I have a long haired and short haired cat, and a fluffy 2 coated dog. Needless to say I have a lot of fur in my house! I waited a few days to see just how much this thing could do, and I am pleasantly surprised!! I was able to do my while living room before emptying the canister! And most of the fur came out pretty easily.

I did need to open the top to get some that had wrapped around the inside, but that’s almost to be expected. The hose worked well, although I’d like to have seen an extra tube to extend it other than the skinny furniture attachment.

It did decently along the edges, did still need to use the hose on the right side though. The power button is a foot pedal next to the unlock pedal, which is both good and bad. It seemed super powerful and moved relatively easy on my thickish but not long carpet.

It was easy to put together out of the box, and I love the extra attachments that all have a place to lock onto the vacuum. Overall, I’m pleasantly surprised and happy with this lightweight vacuum in terms of suction and ability to get pet fur up!.

We call this little worker DJ Beetle! (get it. eh eh?? maybe not lol) He keeps our house looking amazing considering we have two dogs and a now 13 month old. It is easy to set up and easy to get a specific time set so it will automatically do it itself.

What we do not like about it is that it does tend to get stuck sometimes and has some weird obsession with getting stuck in our bathroom and closing the door. However, when the battery starts to die or it is done it’s task of rocking the house it will return to base till his next mission.

The downside to him in terms of cleaning is he is not very good at taking dog hair off low pile carpeting but considering he takes about 1 hour worth of cleaning off my plate everyday he has earned his keep in the house lol!.
