Our pick: Shark IP3251UKT

Average price in the past six months: £397
Cheapest price in the past six months: £314*

Shark IP3251UKT
  • Bagless and cordless stick vacuum cleaner
  • 0.6 litre dust capacity
  • Weighs 3.8kg

We like: Good to use on stairs and high places

We don't like: Filter is fiddly to remove and clean

This cordless vac has a hinged stick to help reach under low furniture. The anti-hair wrap roller is designed not to get tangled up with long strands of hair, plus the handy motorised floor head detects the type of flooring it’s on and adjusts the suction power accordingly (so the manufacturer claims). 

It can be transformed into a handheld cleaner for tackling tricky areas such as stairs, upholstery and car interiors, and supplied accessories including a gap tool and upholstery nozzle. 

It weighs 3.8kg, so it’s not too heavy, and has a 0.6-litre dust capacity, which isn't as generous as some.

Is this vacuum as good at dealing with hair as Shark claims? Find out in our full Shark IP3251UKT review.

Dyson V11 Extra

Average price in the past six months: £421
Cheapest price in the past six months: £330* 

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

We like: Convenient to use at height and on furniture

We don't like: Hard to push on thick carpets

As the name suggests, the Dyson V11 Extra stick vacuum cleaner comes with plenty of attachments, including one for your mattress, a quick-release dusting nozzle, and a detangle brush head that’s designed to keep itself hair-free.

Like all Dysons it’s bagless, and this one has a 0.8-litre capacity. The canister has a ‘point and shoot’ emptying mechanism that’s designed to expel the dirt without you having to reach inside the container.

See our full Dyson V11 Extra review to find out if this Dyson vac makes the grade as a Best Buy.

Dyson Cyclone V10 Absolute

Average price in the past six months: £330
Cheapest price in the past six months: £274*

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

We like: 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 0.9 litre dust capacity, which is more generous than previous models like the V7 and V8, and means it won’t need to be emptied as often. It comes with two floor heads: a universal brush head and a soft roller brush that’s designed to leave hard floors super-clean.

You get an angled hinge attachment that allows the vac to 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.

Samsung Jet 85 Complete VS20C8524TB

Average price in the past six months: £426
Cheapest price in the past six months: £270*

Samsung Jet 85 Complete VS20C8524TB
  • Bagless and cordless handstick vacuum cleaner
  • 0.9 litre dust capacity
  • Weighs 2.7kg

We like: A versatile cleaner

We don't like: Battery only runs for 10 mins on turbo mode

Much like the more expensive Jet 95 Pro, the Jet 85 Complete also comes with a fully removable and washable dustbin, an LCD digital display – which allows you to switch between five suction levels, check the remaining battery and receive issue alerts – and a charging station.

You’ll have a choice of two brushes, a Jet Dual Brush for carpets and hard floors, and a slim LED brush suitable for hard floors only that highlights hidden dust in dark areas. It also comes with a pet tool, a crevice tool, a combination tool and a flexi tool for harder-to-reach-areas. 

It’s compatible with the wet cleaning attachment too, but unlike with Jet 95 Pro, you’ll have to buy it separately.

Numatic Henry Quick HEN.100

Average price in the past six months: £272
Cheapest price in the past six months: £198*

A cordless vacuum cleaner
This model is also available direct from Henry for £199.99. Or compare prices at other retailers:
  • Bagged cordless handstick vacuum cleaner
  • 1 litre dust capacity
  • Weighs 3.3kg

We like: Cleans well with a full dust container

We don't like: Poor performance on minimum power

This was the first cordless handstick offering from Numatic. 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.

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.

Is Henry right for your home? Read our Numatic Henry Quick HEN.100 review to find out.

Average price in the past six months: £450
Cheapest price in the past six months: £320*

Bosch Unlimited 9 Dual Battery cordless vac
  • Bagless and cordless stick vacuum cleaner
  • 0.5 litre dust capacity
  • Weighs 3.3kg

We like: Cleans laminate well

We don't like: Poor cleaning on low power mode

The Bosch Unlimited 9 comes with an electro brush floor head with LED lights, a gap tool with an extension and a furniture brush. There’s also a built-in MicroSensor with an indicator light that, according to the manufacturer, changes colour when all the dust has been picked up. It also has a HEPA filtration system.

The dust container isn’t as generous as some, with a capacity of just 0.5 litres, but at least you won’t have to worry about buying disposable bags.

Not bothered about having two batteries? The standard Bosch Unlimited 9 BBS931WGB is also reduced right now – it's available for £289 at Amazon and Currys.

With this cordless Miele vacuum you get all the attachments in the Duoflex H1X range, including a dusting brush, upholstery nozzle, crevice nozzle, flexible suction hose, and a mini electro brush suitable for cleaning up pet hair.

It also has an electro brush head that automatically detects the type of flooring and adjusts the speed of the roller brush accordingly.

  • Bagless and cordless stick vacuum cleaner
  • 0.9 litre dust capacity
  • Weighs 3.2kg

We like: It's quiet

We don't like: Poor performance on minimum power

Tefal promises power without compromise – and it says the X-Force Flex 12.60 Pet & Car cordless vacuum cleaner combines deep-cleaning suction power with an efficient all-floors brush.

It comes with a digital display, auto-cleaning mode and a handy flexible wand, which saves you from having to bend over to vacuum under low furniture. It also has LED headlights that help expose hidden dirt and a motorised brush for removal of pet hair. Crevice and sofa tools are also supplied for cleaning other areas of your home such as the stairs, the interior of your car and on furniture.

At £100, it seems like a good deal, but is it worth buying? Find out in our Tefal X-Force 12.60 Pet & Car review.

Vax Pace Plus CLSV-PAKA

  • Weighs 3.2kg

We like: Quiet

We don't like: Inconvenient to use at height 

If you have plenty of cleaning to do, the Vax Pace Plus cordless vacuum cleaner comes with a removable battery, so you could be charging up a spare while you're hoovering.

It weighs 3.2kg, and the dust canister can hold 0.6 litres of debris, which is typical for this type of cleaner. There’s a motorised floor head for use on hard floors and carpets, and it comes with a smaller nozzle to use on stairs. A slim crevice tool is also included.

Gtech AirFOX Platinum
See today's best prices below or buy it directly from Gtech for £200.
  • Bagless and cordless vacuum cleaner
  • 0.6 litre dust capacity
  • Weighs 2.9kg

We like: Easy to use and very versatile

We don't like: Poor on minimum power

Powerful, adaptable, suitable on all surfaces, and its most advanced stick vacuum cleaner yet – that’s what Gtech says about its cordless AirFox Platinum vacuum cleaner. You can use it in upright mode, or, like most cordless vacs, you can convert it to handheld mode for cleaning your car, furniture and other harder-to-reach areas in your home,

It weighs 2.9kg, which is on the lighter side for a cordless vac, and has a 0.6-litre dust capacity, which isn’t the largest we’ve seen as some go up to 2 litres.

It has an anti-hair wrap brush bar to prevent hair clogging everything up. Plus, it comes with a flexible hose and a large selection of tools such as a smaller floorhead, a crevice tool, a brush tool, an upholstery tool, an extension tube, a hair removal tool, a flexible hose, a charger and a wall mount.

AEG Clean 5000 AB51C2DR Vacuum cleaner
  • Bagged corded cylinder vacuum cleaner
  • 2.1 litre dust capacity
  • Weighs 5kg

We like: Not too heavy

We don't like: Could be more manoeuvrable

If you’re happy to use disposable bags for the dirt in your vacuum cleaner, then the AEG Clean 5000 could be worth considering. This corded cylinder vac has a reasonable 2.1-litre dust capacity, so you shouldn't have to change the bag too often.

Alongside the standard floor nozzle, it has secondary attachments for cleaning upholstery and corners.

Cheapest price in the past six months: £154*

  • Bagless
  • 2.5 litre capacity
  • 6.1kg

We like: Quiet running

We don't like: Not the easiest to manoeuvre

This is a corded and bagless vacuum cleaner from Shark with some handy features to help when cleaning the home. You can detach the main unit from the floor head on to make it more portable, which is handy when it comes to cleaning stairs. And this model also comes with Shark’s well-known ‘anti-hair wrap’ technology to avoid brush head clogs, and you can toggle between carpet and hard flooring modes.

It's corded and bagless and has a 2.5 litre dust capacity, so you shouldn't have to empty it too often. It weighs 6.3 kg, which is fairly heavy for a corded vacuum and it comes with three attachments - a multi-service brush, a crevice tool and a dedicated attachment for removing pet hair.

Currys Essentials C700VC18

You can now by this vacuum cleaner for £60 at Currys

  • Bagless corded cylinder vacuum cleaner
  • 1.3 litre dust capacity
  • Weighs 4.6kg

We like: Excellent filters

We don't like: Only average at cleaning on carpet

This simple bagless cylinder vacuum cleaner exclusive to Currys weighs 4.6kg, which is light in comparison other similar models, and it has a medium-sized 1.3- litre dust capacity.

At 7.6 metres, its overall reach is pretty modest compared with other vacuums on the market, so you might need to change plug sockets quite often.

In the box you get a combination floor head, a crevice nozzle, an extension tube and a flexible hose. It's a relatively simple vacuum cleaner, to reflect its modest price.

Want to know if this cheap cleaner punches above its weight? Our Currys Essentials C700VC18 review reveals all.

Hoover HL500HM

Average price in the past six months: £187
Cheapest price in the past six months: £148*

Hoover HL500HM
  • Upright bagless vacuum cleaner
  • 2.4 litre dust capacity
  • Weighs 6.6kg

We like: Good at retaining allergens

We don't like: Messy to empty

Hoover HL500HM can be transformed into a handheld helper and comes with a washable filter.

This is a bagless vac, meaning you’ll have to empty it straight into the bin rather than replacing a bag. It has a medium dust capacity of 2.4 litres. The cable is fairly long, allowing the vac a nine-metre reach from the plug socket, which is handy if you have a large house to clean and don't want to keep switching plug sockets.

This is the standard model, but a pet version – Hoover HL500PT – is also on sale (find out more below).

Numatic Harry HHR200-11
  • Bagged corded cylinder vacuum cleaner
  • 4.1 litre dust capacity
  • Weighs 8.6kg

We like: Super quiet and easy to use

We don't like: Doesn't have all the features you might expect

The Harry HHR200 vacuum cleaner – the premium-priced vacuum in the Numatic family that also includes Henry, Hetty and George – has been developed for pet owners. It has a turbo brush pet tool and a charcoal filter designed to kill odours.

It has an enormous bagged capacity of 4.1 litres, an extremely lengthy 13-metre reach and weighs 8.6kg, which is pretty heavy for this type. Like all Numatics, it's on four caster wheels, which makes it easy to drag around the home.

Miele Guard M1 Cat and Dog Flex
  • Bagged and corded cylinder vacuum cleaner
  • 2.9 litre dust capacity
  • Weighs 6.7kg

We like: Fairly quiet

We don't like: Could be easier to use on stairs

As the name suggests, this is the pet hair version of Miele’s Guard M1 Flex corded vacuum cleaner. Alongside the standard accessories and attachments, it also has a pet turbo brush to clean up cat and dog fluff. It has a large capacity for a bagged vacuum cleaner, so although you’ll need to buy replacement bags, you probably won’t need to change them too often.

The vacuum weighs 6.7kg, which is around average for a corded vac. The power cable will stretch 10.6 metres from the plug socket before you need to shift position.

Dyson 360 Vis Nav Robot Vacuum

Average price in the past six months: £971
Cheapest price in the past six months: £599*

dyson 360 vis nav robot vacuum
  • Robot vacuum cleaner
  • 0.5 litre dust capacity

We like: Very easy to use

We don't like: Not the quietest

The Dyson 360 Vis Nav Robot Vacuum doesn't come cheap, so it's great to see this one on offer. 

It comes with a charging station, and is controlled with MyDyson app (note that you can't set it up without a wi-fi connection). 

The dust container has a sliding button that makes it easy to empty. However, because the bottom of the dust container opens when you slide the button, the dirt drops out very rapidly and causes a cloud of fine dust. We'd recommend dropping any dirt, particularly fine dirt, into a deep bin to stop the dust cloud getting everywhere.

Eufy specialises in home security systems and robot vacuum cleaners, with the X8 Pro one of its more affordable vacs. In addition to the vacuum cleaning, it also has a mop function.

It's able to dock into its self-empty station without the user 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.

This robot vac is now available in white direct from Shark for £249.99. Or compare prices at other retailers:

  • 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:

Andrew Laughlin

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 V10Absolute – 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

Some retailers will offer to recycle your old vacuum cleaner, although they can sometimes charge a fee for doing so. 

Our guide on how to recycle electrical items will help you assess your options.
