The 15 Best Inexpensive Vacuum Cleaners of 2021

The Turkish vacuum cleaner ARNICA Damla Plus opens this category, equipped with a small water filter for collecting dust and small debris. The product has a very decent suction power - 400 W, which will be enough for a thorough treatment of standard housing without an abundance of long pile carpets and the presence of pets. The undoubted “plus” of the model is the use of the patented DWS filtration system, which allows dust to be nailed as tightly as possible inside the water vortex, preventing it from getting back into the atmosphere of the room. And thanks to the aromatization function, the air in the apartment after cleaning will be not only clean, but also pleasantly smelling.

Additional features include a good package (5 different nozzles), a large radius of action (10 m), stability and easy handling of the unit.Judging by the reviews, only one point caused dissatisfaction among buyers - the bulky size and decent weight of ARNICA Damla Plus (especially with a full tank). But these features are inherent in the entire class of vacuum cleaners with a water filter, so they can hardly be considered a significant drawback.

The products of this Japanese manufacturer are not in great demand in our country. And in vain, because this model is very interesting. The SVC 1748 has the highest suction power, but the lowest noise level of the entire top three. In addition, many owners highlighted the excellent build quality and materials used, as well as the efficiency of fine filters. At the same time, the vacuum cleaner has the lowest cost among competitors.

Advantages of the model:

• the highest suction power is 410 W;
• low noise level - "according to the passport" only 68 dB;
• it is possible to adjust the power of work;
• There is an automatic cord rewind function.

The main drawback noted by experienced users is the lack of any technical support from the manufacturer. This is expressed at least in the fact that it is difficult to find replacement filters to replace contaminated factory ones.

The next position in our rating is occupied by a compact and inexpensive representative of Russian production - the VITEK VT-1833 vacuum cleaner.Due to its small size, it will be convenient to store it even in a one-room apartment, and due to its low weight, any member of the family can use the device without the risk of tearing their back. In addition, users note the abundant use of latches - it is easier to disassemble the vacuum cleaner than many competitors.

Advantages of the VITEK VT-1833 vacuum cleaner::

• the lowest weight is only 5.3 kg;
• foot switch On/Off;
• 5 stages of filtration, including a fine filter;
• there is a vertical parking for the telescopic pipe.

In some reviews, you can find complaints about an increased noise level when the vacuum cleaner is operating at maximum power, which can create uncomfortable conditions for those in the room. However, most owners of the device do not consider this a significant drawback.

The most affordable device with an aquafilter can be safely called the vacuum cleaner of the Austrian brand FIRST AUSTRIA 5546-3. It ideally converged the main qualities for any household appliances: practicality, functionality and ease of use. And, despite its very budget price, this particular model can be considered the best in its category.

The manufacturer equipped his “brainchild” with a capacious water filter, the total volume of which is as much as 6 liters. In addition, the product provides such useful functions as automatic cord winder, a telescopic suction tube and a full set of necessary accessories (metal floor/carpet brush, upholstery brush, crevice nozzle).The engine is installed under the cover, there is also an additional filter. But the most important thing is that with the help of this miracle device, you can carry out not only dry cleaning with air humidification, but also wash the floors with high quality, which, you see, is very good for equipment with such a modest price tag. Most users in their reviews noted the simple design, maneuverability and power of the FIRST AUSTRIA 5546-3. And the quality of cleaning after it was rated at 4.5 points out of 5.

The inexpensive Chinese Midea VCS43C4 cyclone vacuum cleaner was included in our review because of its budget price, high useful power and compact size. It is also worth noting the attractive design of this representative of cleaning equipment for the home. The original combination of silver and orange colors makes the product one of the most spectacular in our rating. But, of course, appearance is not the main quality of this nominee. The model is ideal for owners of cats and dogs.The kit includes a special mini-turbo brush designed to remove hair and fur from any surface, and the HEPA 12 exhaust filter helps to capture not only small debris, but also most household allergens. To protect the flooring during cleaning, the vacuum cleaner is equipped with soft rubberized wheels. The manufacturer paid special attention to safety. If the engine overheats, it turns itself off, which helps to prevent a fire hazard.

By the way, Midea VCS43C4 is one of the few samples of household appliances, in the reviews of which users have never complained about the smell of plastic in the first days of operation. Thanks to high-quality materials and excellent assembly, this unpleasant nuance is completely absent here.

Philips FC 8471 PowerPro Compact can be called a classic example of cyclone vacuum cleaners without exaggeration. Equipped with a one and a half liter plastic container for collecting dust, it is capable of cleaning a standard two-room apartment in one cycle of operation without the need for disassembly and removal of accumulated debris. The device is equipped with a 6-meter electric cord, which significantly increases the radius of its work, and also has in its kit the main types of nozzles that allow you to clean even the most remote and hard-to-reach places in the room.

Advantages:

• stylish design;
• good maneuverability;
• there is a soft start function;
• The HEPA filter is located in front of the engine, which increases its service life.

One of the points that the owners of the PHILIPS FC 8471 did not like is the design of the suction pipe. In this case, it is collapsible and consists of several parts of the same diameter. This is less convenient to use, and vacuum cleaners with pipes of this type require more free storage space.

Samsung is a leader in many areas. One of them is vacuum cleaners. Model SC6573 has an excellent combination of characteristics while maintaining a fairly affordable price. Here you will find both high suction power and a well-thought-out design, thanks to which the use of the device is both pleasant and efficient. Also, users note the excellent quality of materials and assembly. For many, this vacuum cleaner survives the mark of three years or more without any problems.

Advantages of the Samsung VC18M3160 cyclone vacuum cleaner:

• high suction power - 380 W;
• increased volume of the dust collector - 2 l;
• the presence of a new generation turbine Anti-Tangle - prevents winding of hair and wool on the filter of the vacuum cleaner;
• Ergonomic Easy Grip control handle - provides maximum comfort during cleaning.

The disadvantages of a vacuum cleaner include perhaps a small number of nozzles. In the basic configuration of the model, there is only the main and additional 2-in-1 brush, and if necessary, you will have to buy other accessories yourself.

The well-known brand of home appliances LG never ceases to amaze its fans, and constantly improves its own products. The VK76A09NTCR vacuum cleaner was the first to use an innovative development - automatic pressing of dust in a container. With the help of this technology, the dust is knocked down into compact briquettes, thus providing a larger capacity, as well as simplifying the process of emptying the container from the garbage, making it much easier and more hygienic.

Advantages of the LG VK76A09NTCR model:

• multi-layer filter of the highest degree of purification - HEPA 11;
• telescopic steel pipe;
• high-strength polycarbonate container;
• constantly high suction power.

According to surveys on the Internet, this model is recommended by 100% of users, which means that LG VK76A09NTCR can rightfully bear the national title "Customers' Choice".

Handheld vacuum cleaners are rarely considered as the main equipment for home cleaning.However, in the case when you need to quickly collect crumbled crumbs, process dusty furniture or even outerwear - they will be very useful. Model AKS 828 of the famous German brand Clatronic will become an indispensable assistant in everyday life. This compact and very convenient device can be used not only within an apartment or office, but also where there is no access to electricity (for example, in a car). The power source for the device is a rechargeable battery with a capacity of 1400 mAh.

It is noteworthy that most portable vacuum cleaners are equipped with a cyclone filter, but the peculiarity of this model is the presence of a dust bag, which makes it more budgetary than many others. Add to this the liquid collection function, 2 nozzles included and a charge indicator, and you will understand why we consider the Clatronic AKS 828 to be the best in its category in terms of price-quality ratio. Another nice bonus from the manufacturer can be considered a thoughtful approach to the method of storage. The ergonomic design of the case allows for wall mounting, which saves space in your home or garage.

The next budget version of a vacuum cleaner with a bag is a representative of the well-known German concern Bosch, model BGN 22200. Its main difference from most similar electrical appliances for the home is the increased volume of the dust collector (3.5 l). This is a significant plus, as it allows you to change consumables less often.At the same time, the product has quite compact dimensions (LxWxH: 37x26x29.50 cm) and light weight (4.2 kg), making it very comfortable to operate. The vacuum cleaner is designed for dry cleaning, equipped with an innovative HiSpin motor with aerodynamic blades, a built-in washable filter, an ergonomic carrying handle and electronic power control. Available in one design (black body color). It has 3 universal nozzles (floor/carpet, furniture, crevice) and a retractable metal telescopic tube.

In addition to the inexpensive price and excellent performance, users in their reviews most often pay attention to comfortable wheels that take care of even the most “capricious” types of flooring. Also, many people liked the possibility of vertical parking, with which the vacuum cleaner can be easily placed in any secluded corner of the apartment.

The classic FC8383 Performer Compact is a fairly new, but already very popular model of the European brand Philips. To a large extent, its popularity is due to its inexpensive price, but besides this, there is something to pay attention to. This powerful and compact unit literally shatters the notion that all bagged vacuum cleaners necessarily lose their effectiveness while filling the dust container. The innovative AirflowMax technology allows you to maintain the performance of the device at the same level (at least, so the developers promise us). And, judging by the reviews of the owners of the equipment, this statement is true.Compared to similar products, the suction power of the Philips FC8383 Performer Compact is almost the same both at the beginning and at the end of cleaning. And this, of course, is one of the significant advantages of the equipment.

It is also worth noting compact dimensions (LxWxH: 40x25x28 cm), light weight (4.5 kg) and simple operation (there is a foot switch and an automatic cord rewind function). The disadvantages include the not very convenient location of the carrying handle (it is located on the side) and the high noise level (85 dB for the passport). Otherwise, we found no complaints about the work of the nominee.

With a standard power consumption of 1800 W, Samsung SC5251 compares favorably with similar devices with its increased performance. The suction power of this small and compact unit is 410 W, which is higher than the average value of this value for vacuum cleaners in the budget segment. At the same time, the model is equipped with a fine filter, it works quite quietly and has a turbo brush in the package.

Advantages of Samsung SC5251:

• excellent build quality;
• special hose device - rotates 360 degrees;
• dust collector volume - 2 l;
• additional filter type - HEPA 11. Capable of retaining microparticles with a diameter of up to 0.3 microns.

I would also like to note the original design of the model. The vacuum cleaner is almost an exact copy of earlier designs, with their smooth lines and large rotary controls on the body.Such details give the device a stylish retro look, and a pleasant color scheme allows the appliance to harmoniously fit into any space.

Stand-alone vacuum cleaners with a wet cleaning function are a fairly new phenomenon in our home appliance market, so their price is often much higher than what is commonly called “budget”. However, the Russian-Chinese company Scarlett found the best solution by offering consumers a high-quality washing robot vacuum cleaner for quite reasonable money. The SC-MR83B77 model is equipped with a water tank that is large enough for such a “baby” (volume 0.26 l), from which the liquid flows to a soft fiber cloth at the bottom of the case, ensuring a constant level of tissue moisture. If desired, you can add a little soap to the container, and then the cleaning effect will be even more noticeable.

The product works no less effectively in the mode of dry floor cleaning from dust and small debris. The built-in infrared sensor prevents the device from falling or colliding with furniture structures, and the absence of sharp parts allows you to gently go around all obstacles on the way.The battery life of the robot polisher ranges from 70 to 90 minutes, depending on the type of cleaning. Charging Scarlett SC-MR83B77 only 2.5 hours, after which he is again ready to start his duties.

Along with an inexpensive price, the main quality of the Clever & Clean 004 M-Series robot vacuum cleaner, most buyers called it complete noiselessness during operation. This small but very productive gadget is designed to collect dust from all types of coatings - tiles, linoleum, laminate and parquet, excluding long pile carpets (according to user reviews, it usually gets tangled and turned off in them). Due to its compact dimensions (height - 7.4 cm, diameter - 27.4 cm), the device carefully processes even such hard-to-reach places, such as areas under large cabinets or upholstered furniture. And the presence of a soft bumper protects the body from possible impacts on furnishings.

This model is perfect for those who do not have much experience in "communication" with high-tech devices for the home. Managing the Clever & Clean 004 M-Series is as easy as shelling pears - there is only one button on the case that brings the gadget into an active state. The battery life is 45 minutes, which is quite enough for processing small-sized rooms (up to 40 sq. M). After that, the device must be independently taken to the place of charging.

The winner of this nomination is another sample of Russian household equipment - the Polaris PVCR 1012U cyclone robot vacuum cleaner. Along with a high useful power (18 W), the model differs from its competitors in a more thoughtful ergonomic design (has a teardrop shape), reduced height (up to 7 cm) and a long battery life (at least 100 minutes). The manufacturer also improved the functional characteristics: there are 3 movement modes (spiral, snake and chaotic), ultrasonic sensors are installed around the perimeter and there is a reusable HEPA filter that can be washed in running water. Another innovation is the presence of drive wheels on spring-loaded levers. This allows the device to independently overcome small obstacles without getting stuck or disconnected on its way.

According to customer reviews, Polaris PVCR 1012U does its job well, and is quite suitable as an additional tool for maintaining cleanliness in the house. It cannot "boast" of particularly sophisticated technological capabilities, however, without exception, users have recognized that this is one of the best offers on the market for such an affordable price.
