Best Sales on Vacuums for Prime Big Deal Days

The iRobot Roomba S9+ usually retails around $1,000, but it’s now selling for half that price, making this one of the best deals we’ve seen. It’s a highly-rated robot vacuum that does particularly well in our cleaning tests. It’s a standout at picking up pet hair and has a squared front edge that helps it hug the edges of a room. The model is being discontinued, so this also might be your last chance to buy it.

The LG CordZero All-in-One A949KTMS is a cordless cleaning powerhouse that scored excellent ratings in our bare floors, edges, and pet hair tests. It also edges out its competitors in cleaning carpets. The vac comes with many conveniences, including an automatic empty feature that cleans the bin after each use. This vac has been on sale before, but this is the lowest price we’ve seen in a while.

If you’re looking for a cordless stick vac that won’t die on you in the middle of cleaning, the Shark Stratos IZ862H Vacuum Cleaner is a top pick for its long run time, which averages around 40 minutes in our tests.

It’s been available for about 30 percent off the list price, but this Prime Day deal is even better.

Currently selling for $150 less than its usual price on Amazon (we typically see this sell for around $400), the Shark Vertex DuoClean AZ2002 is a real steal. It picks up pet hair especially well, has exceptional suction power, and does a solid job containing small dust particles, which is important if you have allergies. It also has a lift-away canister, which makes cleaning hard-to-reach places easier.

The Shark Stratos AZ3002 is good for any home that has a mixture of surfaces, especially if you have a pet (it got a top score in picking up fur).

At Target, this deal is available only to Target Circle members; but it’s being discounted elsewhere.

What sets the Black+Decker Flex BDH2020FL apart is its unique design. Unlike most of its competitors, it has a built-in hose that can reach inside tight spaces that are hard to clean. It also comes with a rubber pet hair tool that does a great job of pulling out fur embedded in a carpet. This Prime Day discount is a notch lower than the price in recent days.

The Black+Decker BDH2000L impressed us with its suction power and was especially stellar at picking up debris from bare floors. The vacuum’s nozzle can twist a full 180 degrees, which allows you more flexibility when maneuvering it during cleaning. This vacuum has been discounted before, but this is a good price.
