Black Friday vacuum deals 2024: how to find the best offers
Hoping to score a vacuum cleaner bargain this year? We're here to help
If you're in the market for a Black Friday vacuum deal, you've come to the right place. November – or 'Black Friday month' as some retailers like to call it – is here. While the best offers won't go live until a little closer to the big day itself (29 November), we are starting to see early Black Friday sales kicking off already.
This seasonal deals bonanza always offers plenty of opportunities to pick up a really great vac for a bargain price, which is good, because it's not something many of us are thrilled at the idea of splashing out on. On this page, we'll be collecting all the best Black Friday vacuum deals.
We'll be hunting out options for a range of different needs and budgets, focusing on models we've tested ourselves and can confidently recommend – after all, it's not a bargain if it doesn't do what you need it to. This page is for manual vacuums; we're also expecting plenty of excellent Black Friday robot vacuum deals, for those considering upgrading to a less hands-on option.
If you're not sure what you're looking for, our guides to the best vacuums overall, the best cordless vacuums (for those who don't want to be tethered to a power outlet) and the best Shark vacuums (widely considered to offer the best performance to price ratio, and a great brand to focus on in the Black Friday sales) are good places to start.

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. We'll start seeing early sales from mid-November, and many retailers will do a 'Black Friday week' starting from Monday 25th, or possibly the weekend preceding it. 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.

Last year's best Black Friday vacuum deals in the US
Dyson V11 Cordless Vacuum: was $569.99 now $399.99 at Walmart
If you have more cash to spend, Walmart has the powerful Dyson V11 cordless vacuum on sale, but it was $50 cheaper this weekend at the lowest price we've ever seen it. The Dyson V11 is perfect for pet owners as it features a detangling motor bar that works across hardwood floors and carpets. You can also transform it into a handheld vac for quick and convenient clean-ups.
Dyson V15 Detect Extra Cordless Vacuum: was $799.90 now $599.99 at Best Buy
This was recently a members-only deal for $539.99, but it's now public domain at a higher price of $599.99. If you're interested in a powerful, yet lightweight cordless vacuum from the popular brand Dyson, and while it's not the lowest price we've ever seen (that was its earlier $539.99 sale price!), it's perfect for pet owners. The Dyson V15's illumination reveals invisible dust on hard floors and can transform into a handheld vac for quick and convenient clean-ups.
Dyson V12 Detect Slim Absolute cordless vacuum cleaner: was $649.99 now $399.99 at Walmart
Another absolutely superb Black Friday deal at Walmart for those looking for a high-end cordless vac. The Dyson V12 Detect Slim features surprisingly powerful suction for a cordless, and an intelligent sensor that can optimize power and battery life depending on the surface you're vacuuming. A handy de-tangling motor bar makes short work of hair, while the built-in laser scanner illuminates hard-to-see dust. A cheap sucker, this is not, but we were impressed during our Dyson V12 Detect Slim review.
Shark Cordless Pro stick vacuum: was $399 now $198 at Walmart
It's typically a pricey buy but we'd rank the Cordless Pro among the best shark vacuums money can buy right now, especially with this discount. Not only is it peerlessly powerful (for a cordless), but its clever clean Sense IQ automatically adjusts suction power depending on how dirty the surface area is. Its odor neutralizer is surprisingly handy, and the brush roll is exceptionally good for picking up those pet hairs. Our only complaint? Battery life, although we'll live with a 40-minute uptime when performance is this good.
Dyson V15 Cordless Vacuum: was $749.90 now $599 at Amazon
Amazon recently had the top-rated Dyson V15 cordless vacuum on sale for $539.99, which was the lowest price we've seen for this product, but right now it's back at $649, a still-respectable $100 discount. Perfect for pet owners, the Dyson V15 features a de-tangling motor bar that works across hardwood floors and carpets and can transform into a handheld vac for quick and convenient clean-ups.
Miele Triflex HX2 3-In-1 Cordless Stick Vacuum: was $749.00 now $599.20 at Walmart
Record low - We awarded the Triflex HX2 4 stars in our review, and we are still standing by our rating this Black Friday. The smart vacuum has a powerful suction and is perfect on all floor types, cleverly detecting surfaces with its brush bar.
Shark Pet Pro Cordless Stick Vacuum with MultiFLEX: was $329 now $199 at Walmart
This amazing device has a powerful suction that can clean any surface, from carpets to hardwood floors. It also has a low-profile design that lets you reach under furniture with ease. And when you need to clean above-floor areas, you can simply detach the hand vac and enjoy the lightweight convenience.
Shark Navigator Lift-Away Upright Vacuum: was $229.99 now $129.99 at Best Buy
If you're looking for a powerful upright vacuum but don't want to shell out for a Dyson, Best Buy has the top-rated Shark Navigator on sale for $129.99. The upright vacuum works on carpet and hard floors and features a lift-away technology, so you can just lift the pod and clean it anywhere above the floor.
Hoover MAXLife Pro: was $209.99 now $99.99 at Amazon
Say goodbye to stubborn pet hair this Black Friday, Hoover's MAXLife Pro vacuum has you covered with 40% off. A great find this Black Friday with the chance of another price drop.

In our review, we gave this sucker four out of five stars, commending its battery life and excellent performance. Its main drawback is the hefty price tag, which is a little more passable with this £100 discount.

Shark's Anti Hair Wrap tech can save countless hours unclogging the brush roll compared other vacuums.

Samsung Jet 60 Pet vacuum cleaner: was £349.99 now £169 at Amazon
At this price, the Samsung Jet 60 Pet is just $10 more expensive than the lowest ever price we've seen. It features a multi-layered filtration system that can capture 99.999% of micro dust, according to Samsung and up to 150W suction, making it perfect for pet-inhabited homes.
