You may be happy with a plug in with an extra long cord, or if you’re prone to tripping over a wire, then perhaps a cordless rechargeable style is the one for you.

Whatever your preference, we’ve rounded up a selection of the best deals on offer to suit every need and budget. What better time to upgrade?

Like a cylinder vacuum, upright corded cleaners plug directly into the mains, so if your house is on the bigger side and you’ll need an endless charge and maximum power, then it could be the one for you. Unlike a cylinder, instead of pulling the body of the vacuum behind you, this more compact style is pushed out in front. Just make sure you choose a design with plenty of slack so you don’t end up unplugging and replugging endlessly whilst you clean.

There will always be a place for the trusty, traditional cylinder vacuum in the cleaning cupboard. Made up of two parts, this design tends to be better for cleaning stairs and reaching around furniture thanks to their flexible hoses. Although they feel a touch clunkier than the more compact styles, they often come with a range of features and are great if you need extra power to clean deep-pile carpets or upholstery. They can be bagged or bagless, and often have a large dust capacity so you won’t have to empty them quite as regularly as smaller designs.
