Cordless vacuum cleaner deals

Dyson Cyclone V10 Absolute

Average price in the past six months: £331
Cheapest price in the past six months: £268*

• Bagless and cordless stick vacuum cleaner
• 0.9 litre dust capacity
• Weighs 2.7kg

We like: The power doesn’t drop off as it fills

We don't like: Battery life could be better

The Dyson Cyclone V10 Absolute bagless vacuum has a more generous dust capacity than previous models like the V7 and V8, so you won’t need to empty it as often. It comes with two floor heads: a universal brush head, and a soft roller brush designed for hard floors.

You get an angled hinge attachment to help reach under low furniture, and it can be used as a handheld cleaner with the combi dusting and upholstery nozzle, crevice tool or mini turbo brush. It also comes with a wall-mountable docking station and a charger.

Cheapest price in the past six months: £95*

It comes with a digital display, auto-cleaning mode and a handy flexible wand to help reach under low furniture. It also has LED headlights to show hidden dirt, and a motorised brush for removal of pet hair.

Shark PowerDetect IP1251UKT

Average price in the past six months: £390
Cheapest price in the past six months: £270*

• Bagless and cordless stick vacuum cleaner
• 0.9 litre dust capacity
• Weighs 3.8kg

We like: Easy to use

We don't like: A little noisy

Shark says that the IP1251UKT cordless vacuum cleaner picks up dust on the forward and reverse strokes, to give you faster and more efficient cleaning.

The PowerDetect floorhead is designed to automatically detect dirt, room edges and the type of flooring it’s on, then adjust the amount of suction accordingly. And the brush bar's anti-hair wrap design should mean you don’t have to detangle it if you’re cleaning up after pets or people with long hair.

It can also be used as a handheld cleaner, and the vac comes with a combi furniture brush and upholstery nozzle, gap tool and brush, and a mini turbo head for cleaning stairs and stubborn clumps of pet hair.

See if it delivers on its claims in our full Shark PowerDetect IP1251UKT review.

Vax HomePro

Average price in the past six months: £230
Cheapest price in the past six months: £159*

• Bagless and cordless stick vacuum cleaner
• 0.7 litre dust capacity
• Weighs 3.7kg

We like: Decent to use overall

We don't like: Not great for vacuuming at height

This cordless handstick vacuum cleaner from the Vax HomePro range is the entry-level model, which comes with just a crevice tool. If you want more tools, you'll need to move up the range – the HomePro Plus adds a stair tool, the HomePro Pet adds a pet tool, and the top-of-the range HomePro Pet-Design adds a motorised pet tool.

The beauty of this simple model though, is the price. Just bear in mind it's not great for cleaning at height, and it's noisy. It benefits from a five-year guarantee with registration.

Corded vacuum cleaner deals

Shark NV602UKT

Average price in the past six months: £205
Cheapest price in the past six months: £130*

• Bagless corded upright vacuum cleaner
• 2.8 litre dust capacity
• Weighs 5.9kg

We like: Quiet

We don't like: Can be tricky to manoeuvre around furniture

This upright vac from Shark weighs 5.9kg and has a 2.8-litre dust capacity, which is about average for a corded vac and ideal for larger households. Its 8.4-metre plug socket to floorhead reach could leave you short in some scenarios though (some models have power cords of up to 12 metres).

The NV602UKT can be used in a detachable handheld mode, which is handy for cleaning stairs and tall surfaces. It also comes with a crevice nozzle, an upholstery nozzle, a furniture brush and a mini turbo tool for pet hair. 

Does it perform well enough to get a Best Buy? Find out in our full Shark NV602UKT review.

SharkStratos Pet Pro AZ3000UKT

Average price in the past six months: £289
Cheapest price in the past six months: £192*

• Bagless corded upright vacuum cleaner
• 4.2 litre dust capacity
• Weighs 7.9kg

We like: Great allergen filters

We don't like: Heavy and bulky

This Shark has a larger dust capacity than the model listed above, but it's also heavier. The cord has an 8.5-metre long reach, and it comes with familiar accessories such as a crevice tool, pet brush, multi-surface tool and odour cartridge. 

The main unit can be removed and turned into a handheld cleaner for smaller jobs around your home. Like many other Shark vacuums, it comes with Anti Hair Wrap technology, which is designed to pick up more hair and simultaneously remove it from the brush roll. 

Shark offers a one-year warranty, which can be extended to five years on registration.

Robot vacuum cleaner deals

Eufy Clean X8 Pro with Self-Empty Station

Average price in the past six months: £456
Cheapest price in the past six months: £294*

• Robot vacuum cleaner
• 2.5 litre dust capacity

We like: Very easy to use and clean

We don't like: Struggles to climb high ledges

The X8 Pro is one of Eufy's more affordable robot vacs. In addition to the vacuum cleaning, it also has a mop function.

It docks into its self-empty station without you having to intervene, and it cleans the roller brushes every time it does so. You can adjust the frequency of emptying into the charging station via the app if you don't want this after every clean.

Dyson 360 Vis Nav RB03 Robot Vacuum

Average price in the past six months: £826
Cheapest price in the past six months: £599*

• Robot vacuum cleaner
• 0.5 litre dust capacity

We like: Very easy to use 

We don't like: Messy to empty dust container

This Dyson model comes with a charging station that charges the vac in under three hours. It doesn't take up much space – the unit itself is 9 x 32cm, including the dust container, which has twice the capacity of some others. 

It's worth noting that you can't set up the Dyson 360 Vis Nav without pairing it with the MyDyson app, and we're not keen on the way that the dust rapidly ejects from the container when you empty it, causing a cloud of fine dust.

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.
