Whether you have children who traipse dirt in, pets who shed hair, or just need a good old-fashioned spring clean, a quality vacuum cleaner is essential in every spick and span home.
With most of us vacuuming our floors at least once or twice a week, upgrading from a cumbersome and clunky device will improve the weekly chore to make it more, dare we say, almost enjoyable.
Nowadays there are endless options on the market, from time-saving robot vacuums with in-built mops, to cordless models to get into all the hard-to-reach areas. So it’s important you choose the right option for you, your floor types, and your home.
You may be happy with a plug-in with an extra-long cord, or if you’re prone to tripping over a wire, then perhaps a cordless rechargeable style is the one for you.
Are you after a large cylinder all-purpose cleaner as well as a small handheld model, or is an upright all-rounder better suited to your needs? If you loathe the task, a robotic app-controlled cleaner is possibly the best choice, because the only finger you’ll need to lift is to tap a button on your phone.
Whatever your preference, we’ve rounded up a selection of the best deals on offer to suit every need and budget. What better time to upgrade?

Best deals on upright corded vacuums
Like a cylinder vacuum, upright corded cleaners plug directly into the mains, so if your house is on the bigger side and you’ll need an endless charge and maximum power, then it could be the one for you. Unlike a cylinder, instead of pulling the body of the vacuum behind you, this more compact style is pushed out in front. Just make sure you choose a design with plenty of slack so you don’t end up unplugging and replugging endlessly whilst you clean.

Best deals on cylinder vacuums
There will always be a place for the trusty, traditional cylinder vacuum in the cleaning cupboard.
Made of two parts, this design tends to be better for cleaning stairs and reaching around furniture thanks to their flexible hoses. Although they feel a touch clunkier than the more compact styles, they often come with a range of features and are great if you need extra power to clean deep-pile carpets or upholstery.
They can be bagged or bagless, and often have a large dust capacity so you won’t have to empty them quite as regularly as smaller designs.

Best deals on handheld vacuums
Perfect for a quick whip around or to reach awkward nooks or crannies is the handheld vac. If you’ve battled with a full-sized vacuum inside a car or under sofa cushions you’ll know it’s not a task we’d wish upon anyone. If you’ve got friends coming over for dinner or you’re trying to impress your in-laws, they’ll see you through any pre-hosting touch-ups or damage control after an accidental spillage.
