Cordless vacuum cleaner deals

Dyson Cyclone V10 Absolute

Average price in the past six months: £337
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.

Shark PowerDetect IP1251UKT

Average price in the past six months: £422
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.

Bosch Unlimited 7 BCS712GB

Average price in the past six months: £347
Cheapest price in the past six months: £249*

• Bagless and cordless stick vacuum cleaner
• 0.5 litre dust capacity
• Weighs 3kg

We like: Easy to use

We don't like: Noisy

The Bosch Unlimited 7 BCS712GB has plenty of features for the price, including two battery packs with a quick charging tool, LED lights to illuminate the dirt ahead, and a handstick ‘flex tube’ that bends so you can more easily reach under low furniture.

The container can only hold around 0.5 litres, so it will need to be emptied fairly regularly. The 3kg weight is about average for a cordless vacuum.

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.

Vax HomePro

Average price in the past six months: £224
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 is a cordless handstick vacuum cleaner from the Vax HomePro range. All dust is held in a bagless container with a 0.7 litre capacity.

The HomePro comes with just a crevice tool, and benefits from a five-year guarantee with registration.

Corded vacuum cleaner deals

Shark NV602UKT

Average price in the past six months: £189
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.

Robot vacuum cleaner deals

Shark Matrix Plus 2-in-1 Self-Empty Robot Vacuum & Mop RV2620WAUK

Average price in the past six months: £420
Cheapest price in the past six months: £298*

• Robot vacuum cleaner
• 0.23 litre dust capacity

We like: Easy to use 

We don't like: Bulky

This Shark model comes with charging and self-empty station, two side brushes and a couple of washable mopping pads. It doesn't take up much space – the unit itself is 9 x 34cm, though the 230ml dust tank will need emptying fairly regularly. 

Plus, you can set up virtual barriers in the easy-to-use SharkClean app to help it navigate furniture and other obstacles.

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.

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.

How to recycle your old vacuum cleaner
