Refurbished Household Deals & Household Sales

Walmart offers the refurbished Eureka Lightweight Bagless Upright Plus Vacuum, model no. AS2011A, for $29.99. Opt for in-store pickup to avoid the $5.97 shipping charge. That's $61 under the lowest price we could find for a new one. It features AirSpeed technology, a washable filter, 25-foot cord, five-setting height adjustment, 8-foot stretch hose, 13" cleaning path, and low profile nozzle.

Note: no warranty information is provided.

Various sellers via eBay take up to 50% off a selection of new and refurbished vacuum cleaners, with deals starting from $11.95. (The banner advertises up to 50% off, but we found deeper discounts of up to 79% off within.) Plus, all orders receive free shipping. A couple of best bets, with comparisons to new units:

• Shark Sonic Duo Hard Floor Cleaner for $49.99 ($60 low)
• refurb Dyson V6 Motorhead Bagless Cordless Vacuum for $199.99 (pictured, $95 under new)

Warranty information for refurbished items varies via seller; if available, it can be found on the product page.

Update: Prices now start from $29.99.
