Last chance: there's up to 75% off top-rated vacuum cleaners in Amazon's October Prime Day sale — recommended by an expert reviewer

We've tested the slightly different H60 Hub Ultra here on TechRadar, but not this cheaper, slightly less powerful model. And yet this could be one of the best-value self-emptying stick vacuums to buy right now. For this discounted price you get a lot: up to 170AW of suction, a maximum 80-minute runtime, a free-standing self-emptying dock that has room for attachments, and a green-lit floorhead to spot tiny dirt particles. You don't need much more.

This is the first time I've seen the newer V10 Konical get an Amazon discount, and it ain't a bad one. While it's not as powerful as, say, the Gen5detect or the V16 Piston Animal, the 150AW of suction here is good. You also get newer Dyson tech, including a better motor over some of the older, cheaper models, plus the newer FluffyCones floorhead designed to detangle hair and fur. It's also compatible with Dyson's auto-empty dock, but that needs to be purchased separately from the brand's own website.

This is a fantastic discount on Dyson's most powerful cordless vacuum to date, and what I like even more about it is the quick-release floorhead so you don't have to keep bending to take off or clip it back in again. For your money, you're getting 315AW of suction and a very powerful motor, a new compression dust cup that can hold up to 30 days of compacted dirt, the new anti-tangle FluffyCones floorhead with dust-illuminating light and long runtime too. If you want the latest from the popular brand, this one is it.

This powerful Dyson has been cheaper before (AU$877 at the end of 2025), but it's a much better vacuum than the newer V16 (see above) in my opinion. For your money, you get you up to 280 air watts of suction, which is plenty powerful even for the hairiest of carpets, plus up to 70 minutes of runtime (if used on low power and non-motorised attachments). It's a little top heavy, but I can't fault its performance.

We've not reviewed this specific Ecovacs robovac/mop, but two of its sibling T30 Deebots performed really well in our Ecovacs Deebot T30 Omni review and Deebot T30S Combo review. That gives me confidence that this too will be an efficient cleaner at a good price for a set-and-forget robovac. It offers up to 25,000Pa of suction, hot air drying for mopped floors and a 220-minute run time, but is now AU$300 more.

It may not be the most powerful robovac in the Dreame arsenal but it sure offers excellent value. Honestly, if you mostly have hard floors at home, I think this is all you'll need. We were impressed by the original (and now older) L10s Ultra model, and this is similar in some ways. For your money, you get 10,000Pa of suction and a dedicated pet-zone cleaning mode.

We haven't tested this specific model but we were rather impressed by the Qrevo Curv 2 Pro that's not available in Australia. The Flow version has slightly lower suction (20,000Pa vs 25,000Pa) and uses a roller mop rather than dual pads which I personally prefer. It is a slightly taller bot compared to the Pro model, but if you don't have a lot of low-lying furniture, I would trust this machine based on all other impressive Roborock robovacs my colleagues and I have tested.

This wet-dry vacuum mop is a little basic compared to other options listed below, but at its discounted price, that's hardly a complaint. In fact, it performed quite well in our Shark Hydrovac Cordless review, offering good performance without breaking the bank.

Dyson has already officially discontinued this model, which is why current stock is being flogged for cheap, with an RRP of AU$499 (which was AU$999 at launch). It's lightweight and easier to move around compared to models from other brands (even the ones on this page), and it's a decent enough mop, but if you have uneven stone flooring, it won't get into the shallow pits to mop.

This is a remarkably affordable upright vacuum that has scored well from users on Amazon. Shipping with a dusting brush and a crevice tool to make it versatile, it red trim makes it look rather dapper too in my opinion. It promises to pick up hair and fur well while not burning a massive hole in your budget.

There's up to 1000W of power here, and the rather long 7.6m power cord can be retracted fully as the name of the machine indicates. Otherwise it's a similar machine to the standard Bissell PowerForce Helix Turbo listed above.

Already quite affordable, this corded upright machine features an extendible flexible hose that's fabulous if you need to vacuum stairs — just leave the heavy machine upstairs or downstairs and clean each step as you go. It promises to clean well too, although we haven't tested this at TechRadar, but with 84% of Amazon users giving it 5 stars, it must be doing something well.

Designed specifically for pet households, this Bissell features not just a tangle-free floorhead, but also an LED-lit crevice tool to see the pet dander hiding away in corners or dark spots. It also ships with a couple of other pet tools that can be handy, especially if your furry friend is a pooch that sheds a lot.

It's not a huge discount but this one upright vacuum my colleagues in the UK vouch for. It absolutely sucks, in the best way possible, and any saving is good to have. The dust canister easily lifts away for this machine to become a handheld vacuum for cleaning steps or reaching to high places, which makes it a versatile upright vacuum.

Even at full price, this canister vacuum cleaner isn't expensive, but when you can save some cash and grab it up for under AU$150, it's good value. There won't even be the ongoing spend on bags as this canister can be emptied and washed out before its next use manually. It has a telescopic wand, but everything else about it is minimal, with the basic accessories shipping with it.

We may not have reviewed this specific model, but we were quite happy in our Miele CX1 Boost Powerline — the difference here is mostly design as they both share the same 890W of power. It's compact, so doesn't take up a whole lotta storage space, is easy to manoeuvre and comes with three additional attachments that all get stowed away within the main body of the vacuum itself.

A newer range from Miele, the Guard series uses active charcoal in its filter to not just eliminate dust and pet hair, but also tackle odours that can build up inside a home. This machine, however, uses a dust bag, so you will need to take into account that it will require emptying and replacing at some point.

With no need for replacement bags, this Miele is both good-looking and powerful enough to ensure your floors are fur free. Unlike cordless vacuums, you'll get very limited accessories with this vacuum, but they all stow neatly into the body of the machine itself.

Sometimes it helps to have a dedicated little handheld vac for the quick jobs, like like a dry pantry spill, or maybe cleaning up some dirt from inside the car (or boat). This is already affordable, but a nice discount sees it drop to an even more enticing price.

This lightweight handheld comes with a few welcome attachments to clean up not just after your pets (thanks to a motorised pet tool), but ensure upholstery isn't damaged in the bargain. It's also cordless like the model listed above, but comes with a touch more power.
