Best Stick Vacuum Deals

The Dyson V15 Detect is our favorite Dyson vacuum, since it has a great range of features for the price. The Plus version is on sale—that one comes with a different attachment (a dusting brush instead of a combination tool, and then you’ll still get two different cleaner heads, a hair screw tool, and a crevice tool), but is otherwise the same vacuum. The different attachment isn’t worth that much of an upgrade, but on sale, it’s a great opportunity to get our current favorite Dyson.

V8 Plus Cordless Vacuum

This older Dyson vacuum is so good that Dyson has plans to bring it back next year in an updated generation. But if you want the original, this is the time to strike, and $400 is a great price for a good Dyson vacuum. The Plus version is on sale, and like the V8 above, that just means you’ll get a different set of attachments than the base model. The Plus model comes with a hair screw tool, a mini soft dusting brush, and a crevice tool, plus a wall dock you can mount on your wall.

This is my favorite cordless vacuum. Bissell’s IconPet Turbo vacuum was a popular choice for a long time (that’s on a small sale right now, too—it’s been selling for $178 most of the last month), and this is Bissell’s new take on it. The PowerClean Fur Finder did a great job vacuuming my whole house, and especially my cat tree with the included pet hair tool. It has a headlight for spotting dust on hard floors and three power levels you can switch among, and it can even stand up on its own, something none of my Dyson vacuums can do.

Best Robot Vacuum Deals

This is our favorite basic robot vacuum. The G10+ robot vacuum from 3i has impressively strong suction and great offerings for such an affordable vacuum, and it’s an even better deal right now for Prime Day. It’s got nearly twice the suction power of similarly priced robot vacuums, and while it doesn’t have a docking station, it does have a massive 1-liter dustbin that promises 60 days of use without needing to empty it.

Dreame makes some crazy cool vacuums, and the X50’s claim to fame is that it has little legs to help it get over thresholds and low obstacles. But that’s not what we love most about it. The X50 is our go-to robot vacuum for pets thanks to things like the double roll brushes to reduce tangling and side arms to edge-clean to get all the pet hair and debris, but most of all the impressive software that uses AI to identify the dirtiest areas of your home (like where your cat’s litter box is) and remind you to run the vacuum more often to keep those spots clean.

Why limit yourself to a robot vac, stick vac, or hand vac when you could have all three in one handy station? I’ve had this convenient combot in my house for almost a year now, and it’s still going strong. The robot vac becomes tangled up in things easily and the battery life on the hand/stick vac isn’t the greatest, but you’d get your money’s worth even at the original price. At only $380, it’s practically a no-brainer! —Kat Merck
