Best Vacuum Cleaners Under £100: Smart Picks for a Spotless Home on a Budget

Let's be real: a tight budget shouldn't mean living with a less-than-clean home. Maybe you're a student, a first-time renter, or simply savvy with your spending. Whatever the reason, finding a reliable vacuum cleaner for under £100 is a brilliant move.

The good news? You absolutely can find some real gems in this price range. You just need to know what to look for. Forget the confusing tech jargon—let's talk about what really matters for keeping your floors clean without emptying your wallet.

What to Expect from a Budget Vacuum Cleaner

When you're shopping in the under-£100 category, it's all about smart compromises. You're likely looking at corded models, which means no battery anxiety and consistent power. You might not get all the bells and whistles of a premium model, but you can absolutely find a workhorse that gets the job done.

The key is to focus on the core essentials: decent suction, reliable build quality, and features that match your lifestyle.

Our Top Picks for Every Cleaning Style

The All-Rounder: Upright Vacuums

Cylinder vacuums are often the stars of the budget category. They're lightweight, manoeuvrable, and fantastic for homes with a mix of hard floors and rugs. Look for one with a decent-length cord and a basic set of tools for tackling corners and upholstery.

The Carpet Specialist: Corded Vacuums

If your home has more carpeted areas than hard floors, a corded vacuum cleaner may be your best option. They typically boast greater suction power than cordless models, enabling deep cleaning within the carpet pile. Equipped with an electric brush bar, they penetrate deep into the carpet fibres to dislodge embedded dirt. Their carpet cleaning performance is unrivalled at this price point.

The Quick-Clean Expert: Handheld Vacuums

For compact flats, car cleaning or quick spot cleaning tasks, a handheld vacuum cleaner is your ideal choice. Conveniently, we equip these vacuums with multiple different attachments to tackle various scenarios. They effortlessly clear crumbs from kitchen worktops, pet hair from sofas or dust from car interiors. Should you opt for a cordless model, be sure to check the battery runtime.

Key features to prioritise 

Suction power: This is non-negotiable. Read reviews to understand its performance across different surfaces.
Our vacuum cleaners consistently deliver suction power of 50kPa or higher, effortlessly handling all household cleaning needs. Even carpets receive deep cleaning to remove embedded dust.

Cable Length: A longer cable minimises the hassle of changing sockets.
The Vactidy C8 (known as Vexilar C8 in some markets) features a 7-metre cable, eliminating concerns about being restricted by cable length during cleaning.

Filtration: A high-quality filter prevents dust from being blown back into the air.
HYPERSEAL TECHNOLOGY with True HEPA Filtration. It ensures 99.5% filtration efficiency for particles as small as 0.3μm, providing professional protection for your family's health and your vacuum's longevity. Breathe deep and clean fearlessly.

Warranty: A robust warranty signifies the manufacturer's commitment to their product.
Vactidy provides a 2-year warranty on all its products.

Getting the Most Out of Your Budget Buy

To make your new vacuum last longer, a little TLC goes a long way.

• Empty it often: Don't let the dust bin fill to the brim.

• Check for blockages: A sudden loss of suction usually means a clog.

• Clean the filters: Follow the manual—a clean filter means better performance.
