Despite being well into the spring season, I have yet to get round to my spring cleaning! Not only that, but my old vacuum cleaner just isn’t going to cut it for the deep clean I have in mind, meaning I need to upgrade to the best vacuum cleaner.

If, like me, you’re looking for a new vacuum cleaner, it’s important to consider what will work best for you and your home before you start spending. Vacuum cleaners aren’t exactly cheap so you want to make sure you’re investing in something that will work for the size of your home and your intended uses. For smaller homes or ones without much carpet, you’re better off choosing a compact machine that can cover the space easily and doesn’t take up too much storage room. For big houses, you’re going to want to look for a vacuum that can tackle the size of your home without too much strain.

With this in mind and with the Memorial Day sales fast approaching, there are many deals on home and garden essentials, including impressive corded, cordless, upright, handheld and robot vacuum cleaner options. From Dyson to Shark and beyond, I’ve found the top three vacuum cleaner deals on sale right now from Best Buy, Target and Walmart to save you money on your next clean-up.
