Today's best cordless 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. This deal matches the lowest-ever price on this model, so now's a great time to buy.

Best Buy price: $199.99
Amazon price: $199.99

Shark PowerDetect cordless stick vacuum
Shark PowerDetect cordless stick vacuum: was $429.99 now $299.99 at Sharkclean

This is Shark's newest launch, and this is the best price we've ever seen. 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 to avoid having to empty it nearly as often. Enter code TR150 at checkout to unlock a $150 discount at Shark.

Dyson V8 Absolute
Dyson V8 Absolute: was $519.99 now $299.99 at Dyson Inc.

The V8 is a slightly older Dyson, but still very capable. As we explain in our Dyson V8 review, it's super maneuverable, packs some good suction power, and is much lighter in hand than newer models, too. With $220 off list price, it's great value for money right now.

Dyson price: $299.99

Dyson V11 Plus vacuum
Dyson V11 Plus vacuum: was $569.99 now $349.99 at Best Buy

We rate the V11 as the best Dyson vacuum for balance of price to features, and right now it's just dropped to new all-time lowest price, with $220 off. 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 Gen5outsize Absolute
Dyson Gen5outsize Absolute: was $1,049.99 now $799.99 at Dyson Inc.

The Gen5 is Dyson's most powerful and hi-tech vacuum cleaner, and this is the Outsize version, which means it has a larger dust cup and wider floorhead, making it better suited to bigger homes. It'll automatically adjust suction based on how dirty the floor is, and the fluffy floorhead has a laser that will highlight hidden dirt on hard floors. See what we thought of the regular-sized version in our Dyson Gen5detect review. It's still an investment, but with $250 off for Black Friday, it's a little more affordable than usual.

Shark Stratos Cordless Stick vacuum
Shark Stratos Cordless Stick vacuum: was $499.99 now $249.99 at Amazon

The Stratos is one of the most powerful cordless vacuums in Shark's range, making it a top choice for anyone with lots of carpet or pets. At full price, it's a little overpriced, but with this $250 off Black Friday deal it's suddenly far more appealing. Get the full lowdown in our Shark Stratos Cordless Stick vacuum review.

LG CordZero with Auto-Empty
LG CordZero with Auto-Empty: was $599.99 now $399.99 at Lowe's

This is a do-it-all vac has a telescopic handle and plenty of attachments to amp up its versatility, plus floorhead headlights to help you spot unseen dirt. The real USP, though, is the base that automatically empties the vacuum's onboard bin when it's docked, meaning you'll only need to deal with it occasionally. There's a massive $200 off for Black Friday.

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

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 HV322 Rocket Deluxe Pro
Shark HV322 Rocket Deluxe Pro: was $249.99 now $119.99 at Amazon

This corded stick vacuum is less than half price in the Amazon Black Friday sale. 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 V7 Advanced Cordless
Dyson V7 Advanced Cordless: was $399.99 now $249.99 at Walmart

This is an older Dyson vacuum, but it's still very capable. You're getting a lightweight, extremely maneuverable design, with a floorhead that easily pivots any which way, plus Dyson's unique cyclone-based motor for powerful suction. This isn't quite the lowest-ever price, but it's far cheaper than it usually is. We might see a better deal on Black Friday itself.

Amazon price: $249.98

Dyson Digital Slim
Dyson Digital Slim: was $499.99 now $229.99 at Best Buy

The Digital Slim looks like a stealthy new launch from Dyson, designed as a lighter and more streamlined stick vacuum option. This half-off deal is the first discount it's had, and looks like excellent value for money. It still has up to 40 minutes of battery, a super-effective filter, and Dyson's powerful motor. For under $300, it's excellent value.

Dyson V15 Detect
Dyson V15 Detect: was $749.99 now $599.99 at Dyson Inc.

The V15 Detect is one of Dyson's newest and most advanced vacuum cleaners. In our V15 Detect review, we were impressed with this vacuum's dirt detection capabilities (it'll show you exactly what it's sucking up, and when the floor is clear of dust, on its screen as you clean). There's also a laser on the hard floor attachment to illuminate hidden dirt. With $200 off for Black Friday, now's a great time to grab this top-of-the-range cleaner for a more affordable price.

Best buy price: $649.99 (different tools)
Amazon price: $599.99 (different tools)

Shark IZ361H Cordless Pet Plus vacuum
Shark IZ361H Cordless Pet Plus vacuum: was $329.99 now $199.99 at Best Buy

This basic Shark cordless has a lightweight design and a sealed system to prevent allergens from escaping back into the air. There's $130 off for Blakc Friday, which is a strong discount. This is a more basic Shark cordless vacuum, and to be honest if the Detect Pro or Stratos are similarly priced, we'd recommend one of those over this model.

Dyson V12 Detect Slim
Dyson V12 Detect Slim: was $649.99 now $399.99 at Walmart

In our V12 Detect Slim review we called this vac "underrated", given that it's lighter and cheaper than the V15 Detect, but otherwise has many of its best features. With $250 off for Black Friday, it's excellent value for money. Beware, the dustcup is a little small, so it's probably not the best choice for larger homes.

Dyson price: $399.99

Today's best upright vacuum deals in the US

Shark AZ3002 Stratos Upright Vacuum
Shark AZ3002 Stratos Upright Vacuum: was $449.99 now $249.99 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. With a massive $200 off, this is the cheapest we've seen this model go for.

Shark price: $249.99

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 NV360 Navigator Lift-Away Deluxe Upright
Shark NV360 Navigator Lift-Away Deluxe Upright: was $219.99 now $164.48 at Amazon

If you want to do deep cleans, the full-sized, corded vacuum is the way to go. This one looks like a slightly older model, but we imagine it's still very capable even if it does look a bit weird. You can lift off the wand and hold the canister bit in your hand to tackle more awkward corners. We've seen this model cheaper in the past – occasionally even dropping below $100! – so if you're not in a rush it might be worth holding off in case a better deal arrives.

Today's best vacuum deals in the UK

Shark Statos IZ400UK cordless vacuum
Shark Statos IZ400UK cordless vacuum: was £302.62 now £199 at John Lewis

The Stratos is a little heavier than some of Shark's other cordless vacuums, but it makes up for it in suction power. This is a great choice if you've got a lot of carpet in your home, or pets. For under £200, it's an absolute steal right now. You'll also get an anti-odor puck to keep things smelling fresh.

Dyson V8 Advanced
Dyson V8 Advanced: was £329.99 now £229.99 at John Lewis

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.

Dyson price: £229.99
Currys price: £229.99

Shark Detect with Auto-Empty Base
Shark Detect with Auto-Empty Base: was £449.99 now £349.99 at Shark UK

This seems to be an alternative version of the very highly rated Detect Pro vacuum, with very similar features, and it's had a £100 price cut for Black Friday. It can detect dirt of the floor and adjust suction in response, as well as showing you when the floor is clean via color-change lights on the motor section. There's a charge base that'll also automatically empty the dust cup when the vacuum is docked, saving effort and meaning there's less chance for the dirt and allergens to escape back into the air.

Shark Deluxe Black Anti Hair Wrap Upright NZ690UKTDB:

If you want outright power, a corded upright will generally deliver in a way that a cordless stick vacuum can't. This one's a very appealing price right now at Shark – and this version comes with a wide selection of accessories, including a pet tool and a car kit, to make it even more versatile. The bin part lifts off and can be held in your hand while you use the wand or stretch hose for detail cleaning.

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.

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.

Currys price: £299
Argos price: £300

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

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.

John Lewis price: £199

Dyson  V12 Slim Absolute
Dyson V12 Slim Absolute: was £549.99 now £399.99 at Currys

This is a more streamlined, lightweight alternative to Dyson's flagship models. While it's a little less powerful than the very newest flagships (but still plenty good enough for most people's needs), otherwise it packs most of the same tech, including auto-adjustment of suction based on how dirty the floor is. With £150 off, it's great value this Black Friday.

Dyson price: £399.99

Dyson V15 Detect
Dyson V15 Detect: was £649.99 now £499 at Currys

The V15 Detect is one of Dyson's most advanced cordless vacuums. In our V15 Detect review, we were impressed with its dirt detection feature – on its screen, the V15 shows you exactly what it's sucking up, and when the floor is clear of dust. There's also a laser on the hard floor attachment to illuminate dirt that might get missed. And of course, it's ultra powerful with a long battery life, too. It's still an investment, but a little more affordable with £150 off for Black Friday.

John Lewis price: £499

Dyson V15s Detect Submarine
Dyson V15s Detect Submarine: was £799.99 now £649.99 at Currys

The Submarine is unique in the Dyson lineup in that it's a two-in-one wet and dry cleaner, thanks to swappable floorheads. It's still expensive – even with this £150 off Black Friday deal – but worth it for the versatility and space-saving benefits of being able to tackle two cleaning tasks in one appliance. Head to our Dyson V15s Detect Submarine review to find out what we thought of it.

Dyson price: £649.99
John Lewis price: £649

Dyson Gen5detect
Dyson Gen5detect: was £749.99 now £599.99 at dyson.co.uk

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. Typically, the sales tend to really kick in around mid-November, and many retailers will doing a 'Black Friday week' starting from Monday 25th, or possibly the weekend preceding it.

However, in the US this year things are looking a little different. We saw some really strong discounts in the first couple of weeks in November, then hit a bit of a lull in the third week of the month, with only a handful of decent offers available. By the weekend before Black Friday itself, the deals began to pick back up again.

In the UK, deals were relatively few and weak at the start of the month, and they're getting increasingly better the closer we get to Black Friday.

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.

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.
