I think I would buy a professionally refurbished Electrolux or Aerus machine for my $200 before I would buy any new machine built to a $200 price point. An Electrolux that has been refurbed by someone who knows their craft will probably give you more years of trouble free service than any vacuum built to sell for $200. Alternatively you can often buy more expensive machines, even top of the line models, for under $200 if they are floor demos or open box stock. Sears burns store demos out at rock bottom prices. I have obtained some really amazing deals that way. Don't be afraid to negotiate and if you don't get the deal you want this week, walk away. Go back next week and see if the sales staff changed their mind. I have seen new in the box Progressives go out the door well under $200 during big sales events. Be patient and you will find the deals.

There are a few of decent vacuum cleaners under $200 price range. This includes Electrolux Ergorapido Power - model EL2040A, Hoover Cordless CH20110 if you are interested in cordless vacuums and Panasonic MC-UG323. Also, if you are willing to increase your budget slightly above 200$, there is Electrolux Precision Bagless Upright - model EL8807A, https://www.the-vacmaster.ca/electrolux/electrolux-precision-bagless-upright-model-EL8807A which is a very good cordless vacuum for its price. I agree with CountVacula about the fact that most cheap vacuums will compromise on suction power and performance. But it doesn't mean they are all bad ones. Some of them are really good for their low price.

200$ is quite a price for a vacuum. Usually people look for those that are 100 or below. You have a lot of choice, maybe if you are lucky, you can squeeze some dyson or miele with discount. Otherwise Hoover is pretty good for this price range. Its solid brand with solid products.

Dyson and Hoover are not well made. Hoovers like the old Dimension 1000 canisters and their stout Powerdrive uprights used to be quality machines but once TTI bought them and moved production out of UK, Australia and the US to China things got awfully cheap. Dyson build quality has never justified their high prices, and their filters tend to clog very quickly. You are paying for hype with a Dyson. You can read my critiques of Miele elsewhere but they are not even close to being worth what they charge for them. No vacuum made is worth more than $600 but Miele will nick you double that or more. The prices for high end vacuums are just a lot of profit taking. You can buy a brand new Panasonic MC-CG902 from Panasonic's on line store for $195. This is a full sized and full power canister vacuum, really the last of the old school canisters. It is basically a first generation Kenmore Progressive vacuum from the late 1980s with much better plastics (thicker and more compliant than the hard squeaky plastics used on that generation of Kenmore) and the motor is much better, shared with the prior generation Kenmore Elite Intuition and Panasonics other full sized canisters. It has a full 500 air watts. Big power, competitive with the very best from Aerus, Miele or Lindhaus, and more than any Sebo I'm aware of. Four old fashioned full sized attachments exactly like those Sears sold with their machines from the mid 1980s until the mid 2000s. No computers or PC boards anywhere, just a simple hard wired circuit and a universal relay that likewise first showed up on mid 1980s Kenmore vacuums (Panasonic bought out Whirlpools vacuum business from Kenmore in 1995 and inherited their designs and patents in the process, so a lot of Kenmore DNA is carried over in modern Panasonic vacuums). No computerized nonsense to fail expensively. Filters and dust bags are humanely priced (even some of the cheap Bissell and Hoover plastivacs have stunningly expensive HEPA filters, no wonder I see so many vacuums ruined by clogged and blown out filters) so no excuses for not changing them regularly. With regular filter and bag changes it is a machine that will last you 15 to 20 years of regular use.

Btw, I recently bought a Kenmore Orange Canister that was on close out from Sears for $80.33 out the door with tax. Sears stores will have a close out area where they sell floor demos and other store merch that has sat around for a long time. This vacuum had been there since before Christmas priced at $112.95. I was looking at it last month and a sales staffer asked me if I needed help. I told him I was waiting for that vacuum to drop below $100. He went away and when he came back put a new price on it under $75. It lists for $149.99. With tax I was out the door for $80 and change. Patient shopping can yield some very good deals.

BISSELL 9595A Vacuum is best choice. It is light weight and suction is powerful. You can get this vacuum for $71.

Shark and Bissell are horribly cheap and have low quality plastic brushrolls. The Lime Green or Orange Kenmore canisters are much more powerful (measured 82 inches of water lift at the end of the hose, better than some thousand dollar or more European vacuums) and the power nozzle uses a good solid 14 inch wooden brush roll that will last a few years before needing replacement. Use the cloth HEPA Q dust bag and everything stays nice and clean, much nicer to use than anything bagless.

If you want a good vacuum cleaner—nothing fancy—and you don’t mind replacing it in five years, we recommend a bagless, plug-in upright vacuum. (We have a couple of recommendations in our guide to the best upright and canister vacuums.) A bagless upright vacuum that costs between $150 and $200 is a great fit for most American (and Canadian) homes, with any number of floors, any number of pets, and almost any kind of wood, tile, or carpeting. The best bagless uprights are about 80 percent as effective as the very strongest plug-in vacuums, for about 40 percent of the price. They’ll last much longer than the total cheapo models. Compared with cordless vacuums, they cost half as much, clean better, and can last at least twice as long (about five to seven years). They tend to be better designed than similarly priced canister vacuums, and are much more convenient than bagged vacuums, which also have recurring costs and don’t offer much upside at this price.

Buy a good used Aerus Lux or Electrolux USA vacuum from a reputable vacuum shop and go with that. Even a thirty year old Electrolux canister properly refurbished with a good power nozzle will out clean and out last anything new you can buy for $200. Bissell, Shark, Dyson (Diesoon) are all crap with low quality brittle plastics, poor filtration and plastic brush rolls that get hot and warp. Don't waste your money. A nicely refurbished Aerus or their predecessor Electrolux USA (not to be confused with their former Swedish parent the Electrolux Group which used to own Eureka and Sanitaire) will do a great job for you and given proper care probably last longer than any of us will.

As I did some research about the best brands of vacuums under 200 dollars. I saw that there are some good brands that you consider: Dyson, Roomba, Shark, Hoover, and BISSELL. Each has different features and functions. Some have very good prices just at $150, or $100. However, the price is not so important if you plan to put investment on quality one. Some can a bit higher than $200 such as $220, or $250. You may consider the top 10 here: 1. Oreck Commercial XL Commercial Upright Vacuum Cleaner, XL2100RHS – Best Vacuum under $200 2. Pure Clean Automatic PUCRC95 Robot Vacuum Cleaner – Best Robot Vacuum under $200 3. Shark Rotator Professional Lift-Away Upright Vacuum, Red (NV501 – best vacuum under 200 for pets 4. Deik Vacuum Cleaner, 2 in 1 Cordless Vacuum Cleaner – Best upright vacuum under $200 5. Bissell 9595a Cleanview Bagless Vacuum with Onepass – best vacuum under $200 6. Bissell CleanView Bagless Upright Vacuum with OnePass Technology – Best Bagless Vacuum under 200 7. Hoover Linx Cordless Stick Vacuum Cleaner, BH50010– Best Cordless Vacuum under 200 Dollars 8. Shark Navigator Lift-Away Upright Vacuum, Lavender (NV352) 9. Eureka Mighty Mite Canister Vacuum, 3670G – Corded – Best canister vacuum cleaner under $200 10. Hoover T-Series WindTunnel Rewind Plus Bagless Upright Vacuum Cleaner UH70120 – Best Vacuum Under $200

The Oreck is somewhat good, low on power but at least it's a bagged vacuum and they sell parts for them. The rest are cheap junk. For $200 you can buy a bagged Kenmore canister on clearance and expect to last and clean well for 15 - 20 years given reasonable care and frequent regular bag and filter changes. Kenmore had great parts support and I can still buy brush rolls, brush roll motors and suction motors for a 1982 vintage Kenmore canister vacuum I inheritied. Bissell offers absolutely no parts support and Hoover is pretty limited. I have a Bissell Digipro canister and cannot even buy replacement HEPA filters or brush rolls for it. Nice machine but useless when you cannot even replace the filters of brush roll. Did you look at the Hoover Tempo Widepath upright? These routinely sell for under $100 on line with free shipping and are pretty reasonable bagged uprights. Hoover, Royal, Dirt Devil and Oreck are all owned by TTI of China now and they all share the same parts and come off the same Chinese assembly lines. Hoover and Oreck both sell one commercial upright that is still made in the US (same basic machine but with different badging). Royal sells the same vacuum as the Hoover Tempo in orange and charges upwards of $200 for the privilege of having the Royal name on it vs Hoover. Another good upright in your price range would be the Panasonic MC-UG223 or Panasonic MC-UG471. The former is the modern iteration of the revered Panasonic Jet Flo uprights from the late 1970s, a thoroughly proven and well regarded design. The latter is a modern update of the Jet Flo design with some additional features. Panasonic has always made better uprights than most and while no longer made in Japan or the US their best features continue to this day in these two machines.

The review you have linked includes vacuums that retail for well over $200, such as the Miele Electro+ Canister Vacuum Marine Blue, which retails for $599.20. For that kind of money you can buy the Kenmore Elite with money left and have a better vacuum. I have both machines. The Kenny is more powerful, much larger bag, better attachments, a better hose and a better power nozzle. For my $200 I would shop for a Kenmore 600 Series or BC4027 canister on clearance (floor model for example) or consider a used professionally refurbished Aerus Lux or Tristar canister vacuum. Both brands routinely last three decades given reasonable care. Tristars are all metal with very little to wear out and when something does eventually wear out, they are easy to repair. Parts prices are very reasonable and they stock parts for decades old models. The same is mostly true for Aerus Lux machines but they are not mostly plastic and a little bit more difficult to take apart.
