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.
