Continuing on from our review of the Best Vacuums Under $300, we're cutting costs to bring you the best vacuums for under $200 in 2021. This review is part 2 of our 3 part series and we will drop the cost by a further $100 for the final installment. 

Sometimes the hassle in cleaning is not the act in itself, but the equipment you use. Using an old, rundown vacuum can eliminate your productivity. That is why it’s important to do your homework on a vacuum before you commit to making a purchase.

These vacuums all have the reputation for performing well without breaking the bank. You might be surprised that you can get a well-known brand like Shark for under $200, but it’s certainly possible. Think about what specific problems you have while cleaning and determine whether or not these popular products can provide a solution.

We've picked out the best canister, upright and cordless stick vacuums you can get for under $200 so there's something to suit all tastes and needs.

We're a big fan of German engineered vacuums here at Home Vacuum Zone. Severin pride themselves in quality engineering and performance just like other quality German vacuum brands Sebo and Miele. The Severin MY7115 features a bagless design with multi-cyclone technology like you would find in a Dyson canister vacuum, but for less than half the price. 

There are so many great features with this vacuum that it made it easy to pick as our best vacuum under $200. The German engineering delivers a durable vacuum that is tested thoroughly to last over 10 years so it won't let you down. In addition to the excellent cleaning performance it is also energy efficient and very quiet.

PROS

The last vacuum up for consideration is the Hoover OnePwr Evolve Pet Cordless. This particular model (the BH53420PC) is Hoover's latest lightweight stick vac that replaces its previous best selling model the Hoover Linx Signature.

At the time of purchase, you receive the vacuum, one removable and rechargeable ONEPWR 4.0 Ah battery, a battery charger and a 2 year warranty.

Pros

• Fade-free lithium-ion battery - removable and rechargeable – no hassle of a cord. Delivers 35 plus minutes of runtime between charges.
• Lightweight design makes it easy to push and transport (less than 9 lbs.)
• Multi-floor cleaning technology - good for low pile carpets and hard floors
• Power Vortex - lifts & removes embedded dirt on your floors with high-speed airflow & multi-cyclonic filtration system.
• Hoover's QuickPass Anti-microbial Brush Roll for the best dirt pickup performance whilst preventing the growth of odor causing bacteria.
• Bagless with large dust cup capacity (3x more than other Cordless Sticks) with easy dust cup removal
• Advanced swivel steering for easy navigation around furniture.

Cons

• Battery life won't last as long as premium stick models such as the Dyson V11.
• Does not come with a spare battery – sold separately.

This vacuum is user-friendly for first-time owners. If you want to switch from a bare surface to a carpet, the switch is located on the handle for your convenience.
