There’s a lot of shopping you can do this weekend, but these Black Friday vacuum cleaner deals are ones you shouldn’t skip if you need any kind of cleaning upgrade.
Changing to a stick vacuum hugely improved my life after moving to a three-story home, but all kinds of vacuum types can turn your life around. Never have time to vacuum or mop? Grab a robot vacuum. Need one for the car or stairs, or just for spot cleaning? You’ll want a handheld vacuum. Over lugging your upright vacuum around the house? Trust me, a good stick vacuum is worth investing in.
Here are all of our favorite vacuum cleaner Black Friday deals we’ve spotted so far. If you’re shopping for more deals, don’t miss our stories on the Best Black Friday Deals, Best Apple Black Friday Deals, Best Amazon Device Black Friday Deals, and our Black Friday liveblog, where you can find us blogging all weekend long about our favorite deals we see.
Best Robot Vacuum Deals
This Eufy robot vacuum is our new top pick in our guide to robot vacuums. While it’s the new pick, it’s not actually new. This is last season’s robot vacuum, and it’s at a better price while still packing plenty of features we like to see. Shopping for an older model is WIRED reviewer Adrienne So’s advice to get a good robot vacuum without paying four figures. The X10 Pro Omni’s mop has downward pressure to actually scrub floors, and it packs a self-emptying bin and a good camera navigation system.
If you’re looking for more of a deal, our favorite basic and affordable vacuum is even cheaper than usual right now. WIRED reviewer Adrienne So was impressed by the offerings of this little robot. Especially the enormous 1-liter dustbin, since the vacuum doesn’t have a docking station to empty into. It has powerful suction for the price and good navigation, and it does come with a little charging base that works better than our last basic pick.
Best Stick Vacuum Deals
If you’re looking for a good but affordable stick vacuum, the PowerClean FurFinder is my top pick in our guide to the Best Cordless Vacuums. I’m a stick vac fanatic after moving to a three-story townhouse (never let another upright grace my closets or stairs, please), and this one has everything I want: Nice power! A headlight! Three cleaning modes! Can stand up on its own! Can double as a handheld vac! It’s a great purchase, and comes with a couple of attachments, including one designed for pet hair.
Looking for a stick vacuum and mop in one? Dyson’s V15 is our favorite overall of the Dyson lineup, but you can get the Submarine version to add onto a mop head. Sadly, you can’t add on the mop cleaner head to an existing V15 Detect; you need to buy this exact model, so if you think you’ll want a mop add-on at any point, just get this one. It’s powerful and handy, and one of the best vacuum sales happening.
If you’re looking for something really powerful for pet hair, the Gen5 Detect is Dyson’s current top-of-the-line stick vacuum (though new ones are due out next year) and our top pick for a pet hair vacuum. It does an impressive job, and it always pulls up more cat hair than I expected to be there for how often I try to vacuum. It has three cleaning modes and comes with several attachments, and while it’s certainly on the expensive side, you can easily see why when you use it.
Best Handheld Vacuum Deals
This vacuum is adorable, and my go-to for cleaning my cars. It’s easy to hold the base in one hand and then take the hose to reach everywhere, from under the seats and between my son’s car seat cushions to even tackling the dusty dashboard. It has spots on it to hold its two accessories, so you don’t have to keep track of those separately.
Dyson’s Car+Boat is our favorite handheld vacuum. It’s as if you took a Dyson stick vacuum and got rid of the stick part, and it’s much more affordable compared to our favorite stick vacuums. It’s designed with vehicles in mind, if you can’t tell by the name, but you should be able to use this anywhere you’d want to use a handheld vacuum, from stairs to indoor couch cushions to your vehicles. It’s an affordable way to get into the Dyson ecosystem, and a good add-on if you don’t need an entirely new vacuum.
