What makes Which? deals different?
Retailers sometimes use misleading ‘was’ or ‘before’ prices to claim their deals are good. Media sites and artificial intelligence (AI) promote these deals – but do they always check them first?
We don’t just take retailers’ word for it, we track actual market prices over six months. We share cheapest and average calculations and evaluate products against strict performance benchmarks. So you get good quality at honest prices.
Plus, nobody tests as rigorously as Which?. Find out how we test vacuum cleaners and how we test cordless vacuum cleaners.
*References to ‘Average price' and 'Cheapest price' are based on Which? market knowledge and information supplied by our partners. Prices are checked for the six calendar months prior to publication. Not all retailers are included in our checks.

Our pick: Dyson V8 Cyclone
Average price in the past six months: £341.77
Cheapest price in the past six months: £199.99*
- Bagless and cordless stick vacuum cleaner
- 0.6 litre dust capacity
- Weighs 2.6kg
We like: Simple to manoeuvre
We don't like: Could be easier to use at height and on uneven surfaces
This cordless, bagless vacuum cleaner has 'triggerless' operation, so you don't need to keep the power button pressed while using it. You can switch between three power modes (eco, medium and max), and it can be used as a handheld cleaner on stairs, furniture or car interiors
The floorhead has an anti-tangle brush bar, designed for hard floors and carpets. The model we reviewed comes with a mini turbo brush, crevice tool and a wall dock, but this model we've found on sale just has a crevice tool.

Cordless vacuum cleaner deals
Miele Triflex HX2
Average price in the past six months: £551.60
Cheapest price in the past six months: £399*
- Bagless and cordless stick vacuum cleaner
- 0.6 litre dust capacity
- Weighs 3.8kg
We like: It's quiet
We don't like: Fairly slow at charging
Although the Triflex HX2 has been around for a few years, it has some interesting features. Unusually, you can attach the power unit to the top or bottom of the vacuum depending on whether you'll be crouching to reach under furniture or stretching to clean up high. It can also be removed from the main body and used as a handheld vacuum.
It's worth bearing in mind, however, that at 3.8kg, it's a little heavier than many cordless vacs we've tested.
It comes with an electro brush, upholstery nozzle, crevice tool, carpet brush bar and a nozzle holder to store the accessories and tools. It can also be mounted to the wall.
Find out if can handle crumbs, cobwebs and pet hair in our full Miele Triflex HX2 review.
Samsung Bespoke AI Jet Ultra
Average price in the past six months: £875.68
Cheapest price in the past six months: £599*
It's also available in mint green from Peter Tyson Electricals for £689.
- Bagless and cordless stick vacuum cleaner
- 0.6 litre dust capacity
- Weighs 3.2kg
We like: Versatile
We don't like: Very slow battery recharge
While still not cheap, this is a good deal for the Samsung Bespoke Jet AI Ultra. It features a dedicated AI mode that's designed to adjust the suction power (up to 400W) and brush speed depending on the surface and type of debris it’s cleaning.
You can also connect it to wi-fi and, using the SmartThings app, you can customise vacuum cleaner settings, see your recent cleaning history and get tips on maintenance.
It also comes with a generous amount of premium accessories, including dual floor heads (one for general use and one for hard floors), two batteries, plus a cleaning station with a charging unit and self-emptying function. There’s also an angle tool and a combi upholstery nozzle/furniture brush.

Corded vacuum cleaner deals
Shark NV602UKT
Average price in the past six months: £184.30
Cheapest price in the past six months: £129*
- 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 clean hard floors and carpets well enough to get a Best Buy? Find out in our full Shark NV602UKT review.
Shark AZ3900UKT Lift-Away
Average price in the past six months: £363.54
Cheapest price in the past six months: £269.10*
- Bagless corded upright vacuum cleaner
- 2.6 litre dust capacity
- Weighs 7.9kg
We like: Cleaning on all surface types
We don't like: The vacuum can feel bulky
The bagless Shark AZ3900UKT is a well priced corded vacuum that packs even more capacity than the claimed 1.3 litres stated by Shark – we found it holds double that.
It’s heavy, at 7.9kg, but the ‘lift away’ part of its name refers to the fact that you can remove the body of the vacuum to carry it around as you clean stairs, up high or in hard-to-reach areas.
Its 8.50-metre reach from the plug socket is decent, but we've also tested models with power cords of up to 12 metres.

Robot vacuum cleaner deals
Dyson Spot+Scrub AI Wet and Dry Robot Vacuum Cleaner
Average price in the past six months: £935.67
Cheapest price in the past six months: £670.85*
- Vacuum and mop capabilities
- 200-minute run time
We like: Well-designed app
We don’t like: Obstacle navigation
Dyson's robot vacuums have undergone several concept changes over the years but the Dyson Spot+Scrub Ai Wet and Dry Robot Vacuum Cleaner is the most feature-packed option yet, designed to be an all-in-one device that can vacuum your floors and mop them too.
As you might expect, the Spot+Scrub comes with the level of cleaning performance that has made Dyson a household name in the world of vacuuming.
Head on over to our guide for the best robot vacuum cleaners to see how Dyson's model compares with the competition.
Eufy Clean X8 Pro with Self-Empty Station
Average price in the past six months: £342.15
Cheapest price in the past six months: £236.54*
- 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.
To find out how it scores, discover the best robot vacuum cleaners according to our tests.
Samsung Bespoke Jet Bot Combo AI+ Vacuum Cleaner
Average price in the past six months: £910.47
Cheapest price in the past six months: £549*
- Robot vacuum cleaner
- 2.5 litre dust capacity
We like: Intuitive app
We don’t like: Docking station is very bulky
Unlike its predecessor, the Samsung Jet Bot VR30T80313W, this model mops as well as vacuums, and the self-emptying dock makes the whole process properly hands-off. Do bear in mind that the docking station is bulky, though.
You can use the SmartThings app (requires a 2.4GHz wi-fi network) to customise your clean and specify any areas it should avoid. Samsung claims it runs for 180 minutes and takes five hours to charge.
To find out if it's better or worse than the Eufy model above, read our guide to the best robot vacuum cleaners.
How to spot a good deal on a vacuum cleaner
Humairaa Habib, Which? vacuum cleaner expert, says:
With some vacuums often 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, for example, Flexology (a flexible cleaning tube), 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 (for example, 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, because 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 because 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.
Samsung vacuum deals
If you're looking to replace your old Samsung with a new model, don't forget to check the Samsung website for trade-in deals for your old appliance. They'll take your old vacuum, price it and then you'll be able to put the money towards a new model.
