Between pet hair, stray crumbs and the little leaves and dirt the kids track in from outside, it may feel like you're constantly reaching for your vacuum. The right vacuum for your home (and floor type), whether a stick vacuum or a canister vacuum, is simply an essential cleaning tool in any house. And you can score many of the best ones from Walmart at their "Every Day Low Price."
The experts at the Good Housekeeping Institute Cleaning Lab have been testing vacuums for decades, so we know exactly what to look for from top-performing models. We run tests on dozens of vacuums each year to evaluate their ease of use and performance both in our Lab and at home with our consumer testers. Our top picks are made up of some of our favorite vacuums across all types, from handheld vacuums to robot vacuums, and come from brands we test and trust.
