Numatic Hetty Quick HTY.100

Average price in the past six months: £265
Cheapest price in the past six months: £199*

• Cordless stick vacuum cleaner with bag
• 1 litre dust capacity
• Weighs 3.3kg

We like: Simple to empty

We don't like: Poor performance on minimum power

Hetty has gone cordless and it’s as smiley as ever. The only difference between the pink Hetty Quick and her brother Henry Quick is the colour.

The floor nozzle is an electro brush, but this model also comes with a combi tool that doubles up as an upholstery nozzle and a furniture brush. Other accessories include a scent capsule and a wall mount that comes with two screws and wall plugs.

This is a bagged vacuum, which means the dust pods will have to be regularly replaced. They can hold up to a litre of dust and debris and are made from recycled materials, according to Numatic. Pods are often less messy than a dust container when it comes to emptying, so this might be a good option if you suffer from dust related allergies.

Cheapest price in the past six months: £147*

• Upright and bagless vacuum cleaner
• 2.5 litre dust capacity
• Weighs 6.1kg

We like: It's fairly quiet

We don't like: It's not the most manoeuvrable

This corded and bagless upright vacuum cleaner from Shark a claimed 1.1-litre dust capacity, but our testing revealed that actually 2.5 litre was usable. So, you shouldn't have to empty it too often.

It weighs 6.3 kg, which is fairly heavy for a corded vacuum. It comes with three attachments – a multi-service brush, a crevice tool and a dedicated attachment for removing pet hair.

The ‘lift away’ part of the name refers to the fact that you can detach the main unit from the floorhead to make it more portable, such as when cleaning stairs. It comes with an up to five-year guarantee with registration.

Currys Essentials C700VC18

Average price in the past six months: £76
Cheapest price in the past six months: £55*

• Bagless corded cylinder vacuum cleaner
• 1.3 litre dust capacity
• Weighs 4.6kg

We like: The filters are excellent

We don't like: It's only average at cleaning on carpet

This simple bagless cylinder vacuum cleaner exclusive to Currys weighs 4.6kg, which is light in comparison other similar models, and it has a medium-sized 1.3- litre dust capacity.

At 7.6 metres, its overall reach is pretty modest compared with other vacuums on the market, so you might need to change plug sockets quite often.

In the box you get a combination floor head, a crevice nozzle, an extension tube and a flexible hose. It's a relatively simple vacuum cleaner, to reflect its modest price.

How to spot a good deal on a vacuum cleaner

Andrew Laughlin, Which? vacuum cleaner expert, says:

With some vacuums almost perennially on 'special offer', it can be hard to know which deals are genuine money savers. 

Stick to these golden rules to help get the best value with your next purchase.

• Don't fall for features and accessories Some models come with impressive-sounding features. Think Flexology (a flexible cleaning tube), or Lift-Away (a removable handheld unit), or Vax's QuickClean (also a removable unit). While useful, you'll most likely find similar features across many other brands, just with more conventional names. Models in the same range (eg the Samsung Jet range) usually have the same core machine – the only difference is the accessories and supplied floor heads. An entry-level model typically costs about £100 less than a premium model with all the accessories.

• Check the price of similar models Many vacs have a basic package and a more expensive pet variant, which comes with a mini-tool for cleaning up after your furry friends. In some circumstances, you'd be better off buying the basic model and the pet tool separately. However, always check the prices of variants, as you might find the pet version on offer for less than the basic model.

• Check out the latest price data If a deal seems too good to be true, you can use price comparison sites such as PriceRunner and PriceSpy to check historical price data. The data should reveal how regularly a vacuum goes on sale (if it's on 'special offer' for most of the year, the offer isn't all that special) and whether the 'before' price is accurate. It's worth doing a quick Google search too, as not all retailers' price feeds are picked up by these sites.

Dyson vacuum deals

Based on historical pricing data, we think these prices represent genuinely good savings on some of Dyson's most popular cordless models:

• Dyson Gen5detect Cordless – anything less than £699
  
• Dyson V15 Detect Absolute – anything less than £550 (£499 for the Animal model)
• Dyson V12 Detect Slim Absolute – anything less than £449
• Dyson Outsize Absolute – anything less than £699
• Dyson V11 Absolute – anything less than £599 (£499 for the Animal model)
• Dyson Cyclone V10 Absolute – anything less than £399 (£349 for the Animal model)
• Dyson V8 Animal – anything less than £329
• Dyson V7 Animal – anything less than £249

We've noticed that prices can rise in the months before big sales events such as Black Friday, Christmas sales or Cyber Monday, creating the illusion of huge savings on the day. 

Always check PriceRunner or PriceSpy to compare historical prices to find out of the model you're after is actually being sold at a low price.

Shark vacuum deals

Based on historical data, we think these prices represent genuinely good savings on some of Shark's most popular models:

• Shark HZ3000UKT – anything under £249
  
• Shark IZ300UK – anything under £299
• Shark ICZ160UK – anything under £299
• Shark IZ201UK – anything under £249
• Shark NV702UK – anything under £189
• Shark NV602UK – anything under £169
• Shark HZ500UK – anything under £179

Also keep in mind that cordless Sharks are sold with one, two or sometimes even three batteries.

If you opt for a package with extra batteries, bear in mind that you can buy spare batteries from the Shark website for around £70, so the deal only makes sense if the package is a similar price to the single-battery model.

If you live in a smaller property, you probably don't need extra batteries, as a single charge will last long enough to vacuum your home in one go. Any battery faults should be covered by the manufacturer's guarantee for the first two years.
