My Favorite Vacuums Are Up to $550 Off for Prime Day—But Not For Long
I’ve put these machines through everyday messes, dirty carpets, and sticky spills. Now you can save on the ones that impressed me while Prime Day is still underway.

A good vacuum will seriously improve your life and home. So don't skip past Amazon's Prime Day vacuum deals before the event ends; instead, let me show you the best ones.
As WIRED's resident vacuum expert and tester, I've tried dozens of vacuums this year, from cordless sticks and Dysons to robot vacuums. (At one point this summer, there were at least 13 different vacuums in my home for testing!) I have persuaded everyone in my life to upgrade and can report no regrets from anyone who has followed my advice. One of my friends calls her robot vacuum her marriage-saver, while another friend loves hers so much she bought one for each floor of her home. Upgrading your stick vacuum can also make a huge difference—I had a friend test the new Dyson V8 Cyclone against her old V8 she's had for years, and she could immediately tell a difference.
This could be you! Especially if you choose from one of the vacuums I've personally vetted. Note that these deals for Prime Day—or, as Amazon's fall event is now named, Prime Big Deal Days—only include vacuums we've tested and recommend even when they aren't on sale.
While you're here, don't miss our story on the Absolute Best Prime Day Deals that we're keeping live the rest of today, plus our Prime Day liveblog.
Updated October 7, 2026 at 5:00 pm ET: I've checked all of these deals are still live before Prime Day ends after today, and added more deals from Shark, Dyson, and Bissell.
WIRED Featured Deals
Looking for a vacuum that will do the cleaning for you? Some of the best robot vacuums we've tested across hard floors and carpet—and ones that even scrubbed cherry juice off my floors—are currently on sale.

Shark
PowerDetect UV Reveal
This is the best robot vacuum I've ever tested. That's primarily because it's well-priced for its range of features (including mopping, vacuuming, and spotting stains) and the quality of cleaning. To my surprise, this vacuum will actually find stains all over your house. Most vacuums I test that have this ability don't tend to find much in their spot searches, but the Shark PowerDetect UV Reveal even found an old orange juice stain that had soaked into my wood floors. The only downside is that the Shark can't learn multiple floors of your home if you live in a two-story.
Roborock
Qrevo 2 Pro
This is one of Roborock's newest and most affordable robot vacuums, and it's quickly become a favorite in my house. The Qrevo 2 Pro did well on my corner tests with its extendable mop arm, and it can learn multiple levels of your home. It's best when it's on sale, and this is one of the best prices I've seen for it.
Eufy
Omni C28
This is my favorite budget robot vacuum because it's consistently on sale for around $500. It's lower than usual right now for Prime Day, making it a great time to buy. The Eufy Omni C28 vacuum does well at vacuuming and mopping around the house and can learn multiple floors.
Roborock
Saros Z70
Dreaming of a vacuum that can do a little more? How about a robot vacuum that can pick up small objects? The Roborock Saros Z70 has an OmniGrip arm that can pick up your socks or cat toys. Reviewer Adrienne So said the OmniGrip didn't quite work, but if you wanted to give it a try, this is the price to snag it for.
Dyson
Spot+Scrub Ai
Dyson launched the Spot+Scrub Ai vacuum earlier this year, making it the company's first-ever robot vacuum that doubles as a mop. Dyson does have a new line of robot vacuums coming out, but unless you're set on buying the latest version, this robot vac does a good job mopping and vacuuming (even if the AI features didn't make a huge impression on me).
Best Upright and Stick Vacuum Prime Day Deals
If you're on the hunt for a deeper clean that you can do yourself, there are some solid options on sale—from Dyson's sticks to a full-on carpet cleaner. Here's what we've spotted so far.

Shark
PowerDetect Cordless Stick Vacuum
If you want a great stick vacuum this Prime Day without spending too much, this is the one to get. The Shark PowerDetect is a popular choice thanks to its great power and debris pickup (it did as well as a Dyson in my side by side tests!). Spending a little more gets you a charging, self-emptying base station, which is also on sale.
Dyson
V16 Piston Animal
If you want the newest, most powerful Dyson vacuum, that's the Dyson V16 Piston Animal. And good news for you, it's on sale. It comes with two vacuum heads, a nice set of attachments (plus more built-in crevice tools than other Dysons), and a dustbin compressor. You can also spend a little more to get the mop head attachment.
Bissell
PowerClean FurFinder
Looking to spend the least amount while still getting a decent vacuum? The WIRED Reviews team loves a Bissell PowerClean, and the FurFinder version is on sale for Prime Day. It adds on a cleaning attachment designed for fur and brighter headlights to spot debris (and pet hair!) on your floors.

Bissell
ProHeat 2X Revolution Pet Pro
This upright carpet-cleaner vacuum has two removable tanks to store clean and dirty water. You'll be able to clean up spills on the carpet from kids and pets alike, and it's the lowest price we've seen it go for all year.
Dyson
V10 Konical
Out of Dyson's newest line of vacuums, I was most surprised by the Dyson V10 Konical. This is one of Dyson's more affordable stick vacuums, but it did well on my comparison tests against the rest of the Dyson lineup. You won't get a second head for hard floors like with more expensive Dysons, but you will get the new All Floor Cones head and 150 air watts of power.
Dyson
V15 Detect
If you're hoping for a Dyson that has two cleaner heads, the V15 Detect is on sale and comes with both the Digital Motorbar head for carpets and rugs and the Fluffy Optic head for hard floors. I love the Fluffy Optic head for its laser to spot dirt and debris, too.
Best Car Vacuum Prime Day Deals
As a parent, I find my car is often in need of a good vacuuming session. (How does my son get so much sand in my car without going near a beach? I may never know.) Out of the car vacuums I've tested, some of the best ones are currently on sale.
Worx
20V Cordless Cube Vac
The Worx Cordless Cube Vac is my favorite handheld car vacuum I've tried. It's easy to carry and has spots on its body to store its two attachments, and it has a good-sized hose to reach across your trunk or into the crevice of your seats.
Black & Decker
Dustbuster Flex
If you're looking for a really long hose to vacuum your car, the Dustbuster Flex has a 4-foot hose that wraps around itself for storage. I also really like the charging and storage station it comes with, which has spots for its attachments.
