Today's best vacuum deals in the US

Shark Detect Pro cordless stick vacuum
Shark Detect Pro cordless stick vacuum: was $379.99 now $179.99 at Lowe's

The Detect Pro is one of the newest and most effective Shark vacuums, combining effective cleaning with useful smart features. In our Shark Detect Pro cordless vacuum review, we were impressed with its ability to adjust suction based on how dirty the floor is, whether its on hard floor or carpet, and whether it's near the edge of a room. With $200 off, it's the cheapest price we've ever seen on this model, and a ridiculously low price for this quality of vacuum. Snap it up.

Best Buy price: $199.99
Amazon price: $199.99

Dyson V11 vacuum
Dyson V11 vacuum: was $569.99 now $399.99 at Amazon US

We rate the V11 as the best Dyson vacuum for balance of price to features, and right now it's cheaper than it ever has been at Amazon. There's powerful suction, an ultra-maneuverable floorhead, and useful features like an LCD information screen and an auto mode that adjusts based on how dirty the floor is, for an efficient and low-effort clean. The hair screw tool is perfect for tackling hair on furniture.

Dyson price: $399.99
Lowes price: $399.99

Shark Pet Cordless Stick Vacuum
Shark Pet Cordless Stick Vacuum: was $259.99 now $199.99 at Amazon US

There's $60 off this Shark cordless vac at Amazon, which is a decent price for this model. We're not familiar with this specific vacuum, but Shark consistently scores highly on review, and this model boast many features we've praised elsewhere, including LED headlights to illuminate hidden dust, a clip that enables you to store the vacuum freestanding, and a larger than usual dust cup. This model has occasionally dropped as low as $149 in the past, so it might be worth holding off to see if a better offer appears on Black Friday.

Best buy price: $199.99

Shark PowerDetect cordless stick vacuum
Shark PowerDetect cordless stick vacuum: was $429.99 now $379.99 at Sharkclean

This is Shark's newest launch, and this is the first discount we've spotted. It's designed to combine the outright power of the Stratos range with the smarts of the Detect Pro range, and in our Shark PowerDetect cordless stick vacuum review we found it really delivered.

If you have allergies, consider adding the auto-empty base (also discounted, was $499.99 now $449.99) to avoid having to empty it nearly as often.

Dyson Outsize Origin cordless vacuum
Dyson Outsize Origin cordless vacuum: was $599.99 now $399.99 at Amazon US

This is the lowest price we've seen on this model, by some way – and $100 less than the previous low price. It's a scaled-up version of a Dyson cordless vacuum, with a larger bin and wider floorhead, making it perfect for larger homes. There's up to a full hour of cleaning on one charge – we gave it a nearly perfect 4.5* in our Dyson V11 Outsize review.

Shark AZ3002 Stratos Upright Vacuum
Shark AZ3002 Stratos Upright Vacuum: was $449.99 now $349.99 at Best Buy

For outright power, you can't beat a corded upright, and this Stratos model is one of the very best. As well as superb suction, this model has a versatile design with a motor/dust cup that can be simply lifted off and held when you want to use the wand to get under furniture. It's not quite the lowest price we've ever seen on this model, but it's far cheaper than it usually is, and great value for money.

Shark price: $349.99

Shark HV322 Rocket Deluxe Pro
Shark HV322 Rocket Deluxe Pro: was $249.99 now $159.99 at Amazon US

This corded stick vacuum is $90 off ahead of Black Friday. Corded vacuums tend to have more outright power than cordless ones, and of course, you don't have to worry about it running out of juice, either. We haven't tested this exact model, but it comes with Shark's special pet tool, which we rate, and there are headlamps to illuminate dingy floors too. It's not quite the cheapest price we've seen on this model, so if you're not in a rush it might be worth waiting to see if it drops further.

Dyson Ball Animal 3
Dyson Ball Animal 3: was $399.99 now $299.99 at Best Buy

With $100 off, this deal matches the lowest price we've ever seen on this powerful upright, and it's very rare to see it this cheap. In our Dyson Ball Animal 3 review we praised the suction power and ultra-maneuverable ball design, although do be aware this vacuum is big and heavy.

Amazon price: $299.99

Shark  IZ462H Vertex vacuum
Shark IZ462H Vertex vacuum: was $379.99 now $249.99 at Amazon US

With $130 off, this Vertex vac is at its cheapest price ever right now. We haven't tested this exact model, but the specs are great – there's a full hour's runtime on a single charge, a helpful pet multi-tool, and Shark's popular forward-bending wand to help you get right under furniture.

Henry Quick cordless stick vacuum
Henry Quick cordless stick vacuum: was £299.99 now £199 at Amazon UK

With £100 off, this Henry deal matches its lowest ever price. It's rare we see it this cheap, and it's great value at this price. In our Henry Quick review we found this vacuum "strong, powerful, low-maintenance and easy on the eye". It's bagged, which won't suit everyone, but it does mean you won't have to deal with clouds of dust and allergens escaping back into the air when you empty it.

Dyson Cyclone V10 Total Clean
Dyson Cyclone V10 Total Clean: was £449.99 now £299.99 at dyson.co.uk

The V10 is an older Dyson vacuum that's had a major discount ahead of Black Friday. The 'Total Clean' bit refers to the complete range of tools and accessories included, making this model in particular ultra-versatile. In our Dyson Cyclone V10 review we found this vacuum powerful and well designed, but noted that it's only really worth buying if you find a good discount – which this is.

Argos price: £300

Shark Stratos Cordless Stick Vacuum
Shark Stratos Cordless Stick Vacuum: was £499.99 now £299 at Amazon UK

The Stratos doesn't have as many fancy automation features as newer lines, but it makes up for it with outright suction. This version comes with an extra dedicated pet tool and two batteries, to extend runtimes, and it's £200 off ahead of Black Friday. In our Shark Stratos Cordless Stick Vacuum review it scored an almost-perfect 4.5*.

Shark price: £214.99 (no pet tool, one battery)

Dyson V8 Advanced
Dyson V8 Advanced: was £329.99 now £229.99 at dyson.co.uk

The V8 is an older Dyson, but still extremely capable, and ridiculously good value with this early Black Friday deal. We're not sure what the 'Advanced' bit refers to, because it looks identical to the regular V8, which you can read all about in our Dyson V8 review. This deal is also the cheapest V8, of any configuration, we've found.

Currys price: £229.99

Samsung Jet 65 Pet cordless stick vacuum
Samsung Jet 65 Pet cordless stick vacuum: was £189 now £159 at John Lewis

This Samsung stick vac promises strong suction, up to an impressive 60 minutes of cleaning on a single charge, and an extra pet tool for getting your upholstery fluff-free. As a budget-friendly option it's a strong recommendation, and this £30 off deal makes it even more affordable. You can also claim an extra 3 years on your 2-year guarantee as part of this deal.

As TechRadar's Homes Editor, one of my specialty areas is vacuum cleaners. I've covered lots of different types of models, at a range of price points and from a wide variety of brands, and I know exactly what makes a great dust-buster. Having covered Black Friday for six years, I have a good idea of when to best offers tend to appear, which retailers can be relied on to deliver the biggest bargains, and how to check if a deal is actually good or not. I'll be using all this knowledge to bring you the best Black Friday vacuum deals in 2024.

Black Friday vacuum deals: FAQs

When will the Black Friday vacuum deals start in 2024?

Black Friday is on 29 November 2024, but long gone are the years when it was just a one-day event. The sales tend to really kick in around mid-November, and many retailers will do a 'Black Friday week' starting from Monday 25th, or possibly the weekend preceding it.

However, we're already seeing Black Friday vacuum sales going live – Dyson launched an early sale at the start of November (across the US and UK) and Shark UK launched 'Black Friday exclusives' in the first week of the month, too.

Third party retailers tend to follow suit, and we've started seeing record-low prices on vacuums at retailers like Best Buy, Amazon, John Lewis and Lowes. The Black Friday offers morph into Cyber Monday deals (this year, 2 December).

Is Black Friday the best time to buy a vacuum cleaner?

Probably. While vacuum deals pop up throughout the year, no other shopping event is so widely participated in as the Black Friday sales, which means you can expect the biggest variety of deals, and retailers all trying to outdo each other to win your custom. Some brands will likely use the event to offer all-time low prices, too, or as an opportunity to run down stock on older (but still good quality) models.

Where will I find the best Black Friday vacuum deals?

It's safe to expect pretty much every major brand and reputable retailer to have some kind of Black Friday sale. We'd generally recommend figuring out the vacuum you want, then shopping around to find where it's on sale for the lowest price.

In the US, Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart and Target are some of the best places to shop for vacuum deals. UK shoppers should check places like John Lewis, Currys and Argos, as well as Amazon. It's also worth looking at your chosen brand's own website – there will be deals direct at Dyson and Shark for sure.

What Black Friday vacuum deals can I expect in 2024?

Expect to see strong discounts from market-leading brands like Shark and Dyson, as well as the likes of Bissel, Henry and Tineco. The smartest way to shop the Black Friday vacuum deals is to use them to get a really good quality vacuum for a lower price. However, if you're on a tight budget, you could also head to Amazon where you'll find no-name brand vacuums for ultra-low prices – and perhaps the occasional older Shark model thrown in.

The focus will likely be on cordless stick vacuums, but you will also be able to find offers on uprights and handhelds, if that's what you're after.
