Best Deals on Vacuums

The Miele Duoflex is at the lowest price we’ve seen this year, dropping $45 since last month. It scores well in nearly all of our cleaning tests. It’s excellent at cleaning debris from bare floors as well as picking up pet hair. It’s only so-so at vacuuming dirt from carpets, but that’s not uncommon for stick vacs, which aren’t as powerful as uprights. What stands out the most about this model is how easy it is to use; we like how simple it is to remove the vacuum’s dustbin and clean its filter.

The Bosch Unlimited 10 BCS1041TUC is currently selling at the lowest price we’ve seen this year. We appreciate its convenient features, especially its bendable tube that makes it easier to clean under furniture, and its relatively long battery time. It’s a strong cleaner and can pick up debris when moving both forward and backward, unlike other vacuums that typically pick up debris only when pushed forward.

We like the Shark Vertex Pro IZ662H’s many features. The wand can be bent to reach underneath furniture, and the vacuum itself folds for more compact storage. The vacuum is a strong cleaner, though it’s not as impressive on carpet as it is on bare floors. Its battery run time is relatively long, so you don’t have to worry as much as some other vacuums that the Shark will die on you while you’re in the middle of cleaning.

This was on sale for just $229 during Prime Day.

The Shark PowerDetect IP1251 was as low as $320 during the last big sale, so it will likely be cheaper toward the end of the month. It comes with lots of bells and whistles, including a dirt detection feature and a floor detect mode that adjusts the brush roll speed based on the surface it’s vacuuming. It’s very good at sucking up debris from carpets and is even more impressive at picking up pet hair. The vacuum can be converted into a hand vac and folded for storage.

The Dyson 360 vis nav, typically $350, stands out for its unique features and powerful cleaning performance despite some limitations and its high price. It’s on the heavy side but compensates with extremely strong suction, effectively picking up pet hair and embedded dirt. Instead of a conventional side brush, it uses an extending side duct to tackle edges and corners. It also has a large brush roll that spans the full size of the vacuum for effective cleaning, and though its dustbin is relatively small, it’s equipped with a convenient one-touch ejection system for easy emptying.

The Mova P10 Pro Ultra Gen2 is excellent at vacuuming, impressing us with its ability to clean carpets, an area that other robot vacuum and mop combos might struggle with. While its mopping function isn’t as strong, it’s still fairly decent. The model comes with a base that automatically empties the vacuum dustbin, cleans and dries the mopping pads, and refills the mop reservoir with cleaning solution. The lowest we’ve seen it go was $420, so this still is a pretty decent discount.

The Bissell FlexClean FurForce 4270L is a force to be reckoned with when it comes to both vacuuming and mopping functions. However, compared to some other robot vacuum-and-mop combos we’ve tested, it lacks certain amenities. The base automatically empties the device’s dustbin, but you’ll need to clean the device’s mopping pads and refill the robot with cleaning formula yourself. Its current price matches the lowest price we’ve seen this model sell for this year.

The Steam & Go Housekeeper 10-in-1 SAG806D does a bang-up job at cleaning stains off tile floors. It has a fairly long runtime and comes with many convenient tools, including attachments for cleaning tile grout, clothes, furniture, and carpets. This is the usual sale price we tend to see for this mop, though it was $20 less during Prime day.

The GorFanty 10-in-1 MultiPurpose is an excellent cleaner that can produce steam for a decent amount of time. We like that you can adjust the length of the mop to accommodate users of different heights. The mop comes with plenty of accessories, including attachments for cleaning tile grout, clothes, furniture, windows, and carpets. This is a nice discount, though we saw the price drop to $59 during Prime Day sales.

The Shark PowerDetect AZ4002 tackles cleaning jobs with ease. It’s also fairly quiet and comes packed with handy features, among them a dirt sensor that automatically boosts power to pull up more debris. It can detect floor types and adjust the speed of its brush rolls accordingly. For those who hate having to extricate hair from a vacuum’s brush rolls, the PowerDetect’s rolls are designed with a self-cleaning feature to guard against entanglements. This is just $50 more than the lowest price, and while other retailers recenrtly offered the sale price as well, only Walmart has a discount right now.

The Tineco Floor One S3 Smart Wet Dry Vacuum Cleaner Mop can pick up dry debris such as rice, cereal, and sand with aplomb. It’s also very good at cleaning wet spills and removing stains. Another plus: it boasts one of the longest run times among the models we’ve seen, so you won’t have to stop and recharge the combo vacuum-mop in the middle of your cleaning. It’s now $30 less than the lowest price we’ve seen in months.

The Shark Rocket HV301 comes with a 30-foot cord and can be converted into a hand vacuum, adding to its convenience. You can hang the hand vacuum on the bottom of the wand for easier storage. We found this vacuum to be excellent at sucking up debris from bare floors and picking up pet hair. It also does a decent job of cleaning carpets.

Cleaning-wise, the Miele Guard L1 won’t disappoint. It’s especially great on bare floors and at picking up pet hair, and cleans carpets well, too. At 22.5 pounds, however, it’s on the heavier side. (The wand itself is heavy because of the motor head inside.) A unique feature is its LCD screen, which shows the selected cleaning mode, vacuum bag fullness level, and exhaust filter saturation.

Amazon dropped the price on this canister vac by $60 since Prime Day, so you probably won’t find a better price anytime soon.

The Shark CarpetXpert HairPro EX251BRN shines in carpet cleaning and does a great job at drying, so it won’t leave your carpet sopping wet afterward. That said, it’s definitely on the noisier side. It’s a single-tank carpet cleaner with a design that prevents hair from getting tangled in the brush roll. This is the lowest price we’ve seen for this carpet cleaner in the last six months.

The Dirt Devil Compact Portable Spot Cleaner is a light little carpet cleaner at just 9 pounds with a full tank of solution. While the portable cleaners in our tests don’t measure up to full-sized machines in terms of their cleaning abilities, this model did well, especially when it comes to drying. It’s also one of the quieter models we tested. The tank isn’t huge (partly why the cleaner is so light), but if you’re just using it for spills and spot-cleaning, this model will do the trick.

We saw this carpet cleaner sell for $47 during Prime Day, but Walmart has the lowest price right now.

A standout among the portable carpet cleaners we’ve tested, the Shark StainStriker PX201 is decent at cleaning stains and gets high marks for drying carpets. It comes with a 57-inch hose and other attachments, including pet tools. It’s now selling at the lowest price we’ve seen this year.

The Shark PowerDetect HZ4002 does an admirable job of cleaning bare floors and does almost as well on carpet. It features an auto-detect mode that adjusts the brush roll speed to the surface, transitioning efficiently between the two. It can be pulled apart for compact storage, allowing it to stand on its own and take up minimal space. This model even delivers powerful suction in reverse for more efficient cleaning in both a forward and backward motion. We’ve seen it sell at lower prices this year, but this is still a pretty good discount.

The Black+Decker Flex BDH2020FL is impressive at cleaning, though it’s a bit noisy. We like that its dustbin is larger than most, so you won’t have to stop to empty it as often when you’re cleaning. It also comes with a long 4-foot hose, making it easier for you to access hard-to-reach places. Its current discount is on a par with the lowest price we’ve seen this vacuum sell for this year.

If you’re tired of lugging around a heavy hand vacuum while cleaning, you should consider the Shark Ion W1 WV201. At 1.4 pounds, it’s one of the lightest hand vacs we’ve tested. And despite its strong cleaning performance, it’s also fairly quiet. The downside is that its bin is on the small side, so you have to empty it frequently when tackling big messes.

The $79 sale price we saw recently has passed, but you’re still saving a nice chunk on a trusty vac, especially compared to prices at other retailers.
