    Cordless Stick Vacuums

    We like the Shark Vertex Pro IZ662H’s many features. The wand can be bent to easily reach under furniture, and the vacuum itself folds to allow more compact storage. While it’s only decent at cleaning carpets, this vacuum excels at removing pet hair and dust from bare, uncarpeted floors. This deal is the best that we’ve seen of this vacuum all year, so it’s worth capitalizing on.

    The LG CordZero All-in-One A949KTMS is a cleaning powerhouse that scored excellent ratings in our bare floors, edges, and pet hair tests. It also edges out most of its competitors in cleaning carpets. The vacuum comes with an automatic empty feature that cleans the bin after each use and a mop attachment (which we have not tested). Its two batteries can be charged simultaneously. 

    Yes, the Samsung Bespoke AI Jet Ultra VS90F40DMK/AA is on the expensive side, but it has everything we want in a cordless stick vac. Its average run time is longer than most of the other cordless stick vacs we tested, which means this vacuum’s less likely to die on you in the middle of cleaning. It scores well for cleaning carpets, a rarity for a stick vac. And the vacuum comes with a cleaning station that automatically empties its contents into the station’s bin, a plus for convenience. The price we’re seeing right now isn’t quite as low as it was during October’s Prime Day event, but it’s still a substantial discount.

    The Samsung Bespoke AI Jet Lite VS80F28DMP/AA was even cheaper at the end of October, but right now what you’re seeing is still a good deal. Lighter and less expensive than the Samsung Bespoke AI Jet Ultra VS90F40DMK/AA, the Samsung Bespoke AI Jet Lite VS80F28DMP/AA is a good choice for homes without a lot of carpet. While it’s only decent at lifting debris from carpet, it’s very good on bare floors and even better at picking up pet hair. It comes with a station that charges the vacuum and automatically empties its dust bin.

    Corded Stick Vacuums

    At half off its usual price, the Shark Rocket HV301 is also worth getting for its impressive cleaning performance on bare floors and pet hair pickup. It also does a decent job of cleaning carpets. It comes with a 30-foot cord and can be converted into a hand vacuum, adding to its convenience. You can clip the hand vacuum to the bottom of the wand for easier storage. 

    Shark Vertex Ultralight HZ2002

    With the Shark Vertex Ultralight HZ2002, you’re getting a 2-in-1 tool: a stick vac that converts into a hand vac that weighs just 2.9 pounds. This vacuum earned top-tier scores in our bare floors and pet hair tests. It comes with a self-cleaning pet power brush that’s designed to remove pet hair from upholstery, stairs, and more without the hair getting entangled inside. Though this model has been offered at this price before, we haven’t seen it priced lower. 

    Robotic Vacuums

    When it comes to cleaning, the Dyson 360 vis nav is hard to beat. It’s also selling at the lowest price we’ve ever seen, making this deal especially great. The vacuum’s stellar at capturing debris and dust from carpets, a task that many robot vacuums struggle with. It has strong suction power and is less likely to scatter trash around while cleaning than other bots we tested. Its charging time of under two hours is quick compared to other models.

    One of the best features of the Eufy C10 T2292 is its slim design, which enables it to access hard-to-reach areas under desks, beds, and other low-profile furniture. It’s quiet, good at picking up debris from bare, uncarpeted floors, and has brush rolls that are easy to remove and clean. Already competitively priced from the start, this discount represents the lowest price we’ve seen for this model this year.

    Already one of the least expensive robot vacuums we recommend, the Eureka NERE10SW has retained its price at Amazon and is selling at a discount at Walmart. It’s very good at cleaning carpets, perhaps due to the automatic suction boost the vacuum gets when it detects that it’s on a carpet. Though it’s a strong cleaner, it’s not necessarily as efficient as some of the other robot vacuums we’ve tested, and takes a longer time to fully clean our test area. The vacuum has a self-emptying base it returns to after each cleaning session. 

    Upright Vacuums

    The Shark PowerDetect AZ4002 is currently the highest-scoring bagless upright vacuum in our ratings, excelling in our pet hair and bare-floor cleaning tests. It’s less noisy than many other models and comes packed with handy features, among them a dirt sensor that automatically boosts power to pull up more debris. 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.

    If you don’t have a lot of carpets at home, it’s worth considering the Shark Rotator Powered Lift-Away NV752, which is excellent at cleaning bare surfaces. It’s one of the quieter upright vacuums we tested, and it also excels at picking up pet hair. The vacuum comes with LED headlights, which can spotlight any debris on the floor while you’re cleaning.

    At 12 pounds, the Shark Navigator Lift-Away LA300 is one of the lightest bagless uprights we’ve tested. Its convenient features include a detachable pod and manual suction control on the handle. It’s excellent at cleaning bare floors and pet hair, and very good at cleaning carpets. In our member surveys, Shark uprights receive a very good mark for predicted reliability and owner satisfaction.

    The bagless Shark Navigator Lift-Away NV352 is a great vacuum—if you don’t have pets. It’s relatively weak at suctioning up pet hair, but it’s stellar at picking up debris from bare floors and very good at cleaning carpets. It also does a solid job at capturing all the dust it picks up, which is a plus if you have allergies or other respiratory issues. The price it’s selling for right now is the lowest we’ve seen this vacuum go.

    If you’re a pet owner, 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 of containing small dust particles. It also features a lift-away canister, making cleaning hard-to-reach places easier. The self-cleaning brush roll prevents pet hair (and any long hair) from wrapping around it and getting tangled in the vacuum. It’s selling close to the lowest price we’ve seen this year, making this a worthy bargain.

    Canister Vacuums

    The Miele Complete C3 Marin scores the highest of all the canisters we tested, a result of its stellar cleaning performance of bare floors and pet hair pickup. While it doesn’t do as well on carpets, it has very good suction power and is fairly quiet. As a brand, Miele canisters get excellent scores in predicted reliability, meaning they’re less likely to have issues down the road. Its current price is close to the lowest we’ve seen for this model’s price history. 

    While the Kenmore Elite Pet Friendly CrossOver 21814 might be on the heavier side at nearly 26 pounds, it makes up for it with its strong performance. Compared to other vacuums we test, it’s especially good at cleaning carpets and bare floors. Its suction power also earned an excellent score, the highest in its category. 

    Handheld Vacuums

    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 in our ratings. And despite its strong cleaning performance—the best among the hand vacs we tested—it’s also fairly quiet. 

    The Shark UltraCyclone Pet Pro+ CH951 is perfect if you’re looking for a handheld vacuum that’s good at cleaning pet hair. Thanks to its motorized power brush, it excels at picking up pet hair. The dirt ejection mechanism on this vacuum, while convenient, can sometimes jam.

    At four pounds, the Dyson Car+Boat 586119-01 is heavier than the other hand vacuums we test, but its run time is also the longest we’ve seen (up to 24 minutes on its high power mode). It’s a strong cleaner of carpets and top-notch at cleaning bare floors and pet hair. But it’s not so good at cleaning tight, narrow spaces. The current price isn’t the lowest we’ve seen for this model, but it’s still a nice discount.

    Combo Vacuum-Mops

    The Tineco Floor One S7 Pro Smart Wet Dry Vacuum Cleaner shines at cleaning up wet messes, such as cereal and milk, and does a solid job of removing dried-on food stains as well. Its battery life is longer than that of many of its competitors, and we appreciate the convenience of its self-cleaning features. While it’s not being sold at as low a price as it was during Prime Big Deal Days, this is still a discount worth taking advantage of.

    In our tests, the Tineco Floor One S3 Smart Wet Dry Vacuum Cleaner Mop picked up dry debris, including rice, cereal, and sand, with ease. 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 tested, averaging 36 minutes. That and a decent discount add up to a good deal.

    Steam Mops

    It’s hard to find fault with the Tineco Floor One S5, which is exemplary at cleaning stains off of ceramic tiles and producing steam. Its steam run time is around 20 minutes, longer than many of the other steam mops we’ve tested. In addition to being a steam mop, this Tineco model is also a wet and dry vacuum (we haven’t tested those vacuum functions).

    The GorFanty 10-in-1 MultiPurpose is an excellent cleaner with a decent steam rate. It takes only 20 seconds for the steam mop to produce steam, and its steam can last for around 10 minutes on its maximum setting. We like that you can adjust the length of the mop to accommodate people of different heights. The mop comes with plenty of accessories, including attachments for cleaning tile grout, clothes, furniture, windows, and carpets.

    The Steam & Go Housekeeper 10-in-1 SAG806D is impressive at cleaning stains off tile floors. Its run time is long, lasting around 19 minutes on its maximum setting. It also comes with many convenient tools, including attachments for cleaning tile grout, clothes, furniture, and carpets. The price it’s selling at is the lowest we’ve seen in the past three months.

    Currently the highest rated steam mop from our tests, the Kenmore S200 Series SM2060 excels in cleaning messes and producing a large amount of steam. What makes it unique is its scrubber tool, which is built into the mop and can be used to remove dirt and grime from tiles once the mop head is detached. Its run time is around average, and it doesn’t have useful features like an empty-tank indicator light, leading to its middling scoring for convenience. Right now, this model is selling at the lowest price it typically goes for.

    Carpet Cleaners

    In our tests, the Shark CarpetXpert EX201 does a solid job cleaning stains from carpets and doesn’t leave much detergent residue behind. It’s convenient to use and comes with a hose, a crevice attachment, and a pet mess tool. 

    The highest performer among the portable carpet cleaners we tested, the Shark StainStriker PX201 Carpet Cleaner is decent at cleaning stains and impressive at removing its cleaning solution from carpets. It comes with a 57-inch hose and other attachments, including pet tools.
