Cordless vacuum cleaner deals

Dyson V8 Cyclone 

Average price in the past six months: £313
Cheapest price in the past six months: £239*

• 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.

Miele Triflex HX2

Average price in the past six months: £588
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 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.

Dyson V16 Piston Animal

Average price in the past six months: £700
Cheapest price in the past six months: £587*

• Bagless and cordless stick vacuum cleaner
• 0.4 litre dust capacity
• Weighs 3.5kg

We like: Peace-of-mind allergen retention

We don't like: Small dust container capacity

This flagship cordless stick vacuum cleaner from Dyson uses sensors to detect how much dust is being picked up, and adapts the power accordingly. Dyson’s new ‘All Floor’ floorhead can be used on carpets and hard floors, and its conical brush bars are designed to automatically detangle any long hairs it collects. 

It comes with a wall dock, mini turbo brush, combi dusting and upholstery brush and a crevice tool. You can increase the attachments to nine by adding a three-nozzle detail kit. And you can also add Dyson’s Submarine floorhead (sold separately) that mops the floor. Just bear in mind that none of the V16 Piston range’s accessories are compatible with other Dyson vacs.

Samsung Bespoke Jet AI Lite Pro Extra

Average price in the past six months: £780
Cheapest price in the past six months: £517*

• Bagless and cordless handstick vacuum cleaner
• 0.6 litre dust capacity
• Weighs 2.8kg

We like: A versatile cleaner

We don't like: Fairly noisy

While this cordless Samsung vac has been cheaper in the past, this is still a good saving. It has a dual brush floorhead for carpets and hard floors, as well as a ‘Spray Spinning’ sweeper head for mopping. This is used with the reusable round anti-bacterial pads and disposable wet pads – a pack of 10 is included.

This model also empties itself when you place it in the floor-standing docking unit. All you'll need to do is empty the dock’s dustbag when it's full.

Other Samsung cordless vacs on offer

• Samsung Bespoke AI Jet Ultra VS90F40DEK/EU – SQUIRREL_TEXT_50021680

Bosch Unlimited 7 BCS712GB

Average price in the past six months: £289
Cheapest price in the past six months: £229*

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

We like: It's easy to use

We don't like: Noisy

This cordless vacuum cleaner from Bosch is designed to automatically detect the floor type it’s being used on and adjusts the suction accordingly, such as when going over a rug or moving from tiles to carpet. 

The ‘flex tube’ allows you to reach under low furniture, the main floor head has LED lights to spotlight the dirt ahead, and it comes with a crevice tool and an upholstery brush. There's also an additional battery pack and a quick charger tool.

It weighs 3kg, which is about average for a cordless vacuum, and the dust container holds around 0.5 litres, so it will need to be emptied fairly regularly. 

See how it performed in our rigorous tests in the full Bosch Unlimited 7 BCS712GB review.

Dreame V30

Average price in the past six months: £461
Cheapest price in the past six months: £389*

• Bagless and cordless handstick vacuum cleaner
• 0.7 litre dust capacity
• Weighs 3.8kg

We like: Strong suction

We don't like: Battery runs out quickly on the high-power setting

This cordless vacuum has a front edge sensor designed to ensure it cleans right up to the skirting board, so you shouldn’t find any dusty edges when you’ve finished cleaning, and a hinged tube to help you reach under low furniture.

You can detach the motor unit to use as a handheld cleaner. It comes with a 2-in-1 gap tool and furniture nozzle, plus a mini turbo brush head. These can be stored on the docking base to keep everything neat. A digital display shows you the type and amount of dirt being picked up, be that pet hair, pollen, large debris or fine dust.

Read our Dreame V30 review to find out if this vac will keep your rooms free from dirt, pet hair and allergens.

Vax HomePro Detect Pet CLSV-HPTP

Average price in the past six months: £226
Cheapest price in the past six months: £139*

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

We like: Straightforward to use

We don't like: Filter could be easier to clean

The new generation of the Vax HomePro range adds a ‘Debris Detect’ feature, which the manufacturer claims uses sensors to adjust the suction power depending on the type of debris being cleaned. 

The floor head has built-in LED lights to illuminate the dirt where you’re cleaning. Plus, the HomePro Detect Pet CLSV-HPTP comes with a motorised pet tool – a step up from the standard pet tool you get with the Pet model.

Corded vacuum cleaner deals

Shark NV602UKT

Average price in the past six months: £190
Cheapest price in the past six months: £138*

• 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.

Vax LiftOut Multi Pet-Design

Average price in the past six months: £256
Cheapest price in the past six months: £158*

• Bagless corded upright vacuum cleaner
• 2.7 litre dust capacity
• Weighs 6.7kg

We like: Suction doesn’t deplete as the container fills

We don't like: Hose is short and heavy

This corded vacuum cleaner is designed for pet owners to give their homes a deep clean, with Vax claiming it has an extended reach to get into nooks and crannies, and up to ceilings. It’s bagless, with space for around 2.7 litres of dust, so you won’t have to empty it too often.

You get two upholstery nozzles – a pet hair tool and one to use on stairs. You also get a two-in-one crevice tool and furniture brush and a mini turbo brush. There's only space to store half of the nozzles on the vac, but the other half can be placed in the accessory bag that comes with it.

To find out whether it’s easy to use and removes pet hair effectively, read our full Vax LiftOut Multi Pet-Design review.

Robot vacuum cleaner deals

Eufy Clean X8 Pro with Self-Empty Station

Average price in the past six months: £383
Cheapest price in the past six months: £239*

• 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.

Samsung Bespoke Jet Bot Combo AI+ Vacuum Cleaner

Average price in the past six months: £1,080
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.

Will there be any good Black Friday vacuum cleaner deals this year?

Black Friday falls on 27 November this year, with many retailers promising excellent deals and savings. The annual shopping event could be a great time to buy a new vacuum cleaner but bear in mind that there are good deals all year round, so you don't have to wait until November to grab a bargain. 

Retailers start their Black Friday sales in early November, so if there's a particular vac on your wishlist, don't wait too long otherwise you could miss out – demand is generally high during this period and leading into Christmas. 

However, Which? research reveals that retailers up their prices before Black Friday to make it seem like you're making a bigger saving, so don't get caught out by the 'before' price and consider value for money. Also be sure to read our cordless vacuum and vacuum cleaner reviews to find out which vacuums are worth buying and those that you should avoid. 

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.
