Our pick: Dyson Cyclone V10 Absolute

Average price in the past six months: £341
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.

Cordless vacuum cleaner deals

Samsung Bespoke AI Jet Lite Pro Extra 280W VS80F28DES

Average price in the past six months: £826
Cheapest price in the past six months: £524*

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

We like: Quieter than most

We don't like: Struggles a bit with ground-in pet hair

Samsung claims the AI mode on its Bespoke Jet AI Lite Pro Extra Stick VS80F28DES cordless vac automatically adjusts the level of suction to suit the type of floor you’re cleaning. 

The dust container holds 0.6 litres and empties itself automatically when you place the vac on the docking unit. It comes with a pack of three dustbags for the docking unit, as well as a spare battery.

It comes with a host of accessories, including a flex-angle tool, a combi upholstery nozzle/furniture brush, a mini turbo brush for pet hair and a crevice nozzle. In upright mode, you can use the main floor head or the softer roller for hard floors.

Miele Triflex HX2

Average price in the past six months: £591
Cheapest price in the past six months: £515*

• 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 unique 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 wall mounted.

Vax HomePro

Average price in the past six months: £218
Cheapest price in the past six months: £149*

• 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 is the price. Just bear in mind it's not great for cleaning at height and it's noisy. It comes with a five-year guarantee with registration.

Corded vacuum cleaner deals

Shark NZ780UKT

Average price in the past six months: £259
Cheapest price in the past six months: £170*

• Bagless and upright, corded vacuum cleaner
• 3.8 litre dust capacity
• Weighs 6.6kg

We like: Excellent dust filters

We don't like: It's a bit messy to empty

This corded, bagless, upright vacuum cleaner has a decent-sized dust canister, built-in anti-odour technology designed to keep it smelling fresh, and an anti-hair wrap roller that Shark says reduces the chance of long hairs getting tangled around the brush. 

The floor head has two modes – carpet and hard floors – and it comes with a mini turbo brush for pet hair, an upholstery nozzle and a crevice tool. It also has a removable unit that can be used on stairs and other awkward spots.

Miele Guard L1 Blue

Average price in the past six months: £316
Cheapest price in the past six months: £266*

• Bagged cylinder vacuum cleaner
• 2.9 litre dust capacity
• Weighs 6.7kg

We like: Easy to use

We don't like: Dusting brush isn’t great on high shelves

Miele says the Guard L1 cylinder vacuum cleaner has a 12m cleaning radius, so you shouldn’t have to stop and change plug sockets too often. You'll need Miele’s HyClean Pure disposable bags to contain the dirt, which cost around £14 for a pack of four. They hold a decent 2.9 litres, so you shouldn't have to change the bag too often.

You’ll find a host of vacs in the Miele Guard L1 series, the main difference being the colour and which attachments are included. This is the basic L1 model, which comes with a universal floor head, dusting brush, and a combi upholstery and crevice tool.

We tested it in our lab, so read the full Miele Guard L1 Blue review to find out whether it’s the best choice for your home.

We like: Easy to use

We don't like: Bulky

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.
