Best Prime Day Vacuum Deals

Our Favorite Dyson Stick Vacuum

This isn’t a drill: Our favorite Dyson vacuum—or at least a version of it—is on sale. The V15 Detect Plus is cordless and lightweight and does a fantastic job vacuuming all over the house. The Plus version is the same vacuum but comes with a dusting brush instead of a combination tool. The green laser shows you where dust might be hiding on your floors, and the LCD screen will tell you about the particle sizes down to the micron. It’s already a reasonable price for its features and capabilities, but scoring it on sale is the dream.

The Budget Dyson Is Even Cheaper

The best budget Dyson is best to buy right now since it’s on sale for Prime Day. It’s only been available in the US since last year, but it’s been available since 2020 in Asia. It’s a solid vacuum with a trigger button like the V15 Detect, and you’ll get a Motorbar cleaner head, combination tool, and crevice tool. It’s lighter and smaller with a smaller dustbin, so it’s best for smaller homes.

A Great Vac for Pet Owners

This is my favorite stick vacuum that isn’t a Dyson. It’s Bissell’s newest cordless vacuum; the brand is known for the popular IconPet Turbo Edge. The Fur Finder does a better job picking up things like Cheerios and litter, and I loved the attachments to use around my house and pet furniture. It can also stand up on its own, which is so nice.

A Stick Vac That Can Mop

If you’re looking for a vacuum that can also mop, there’s a Dyson for that—and it’s on sale. The Dyson V15 Detect Submarine is a variation of our favorite Dyson stick vacuum but has a wet roller head and drip tray so you can easily scrub and clean the floor. You don’t need any floor wash or special setup: just fill the water reservoir, slide onto the vac’s head, and start cleaning. It’s a great combo if you want to be able to vacuum and mop with a single device.

A Self-Emptying Cordless Vacuum

This cordless stick vacuum from Tineco acts like a robot vacuum. When the dustbin is full, you can put it back on the base, which empties the vacuum’s dustbin into its own larger bin. It’ll also start recharging the whole thing. Convenient! While the smart sensor didn’t adjust the suction power as advertised, it still cleaned up messes well and has decent battery life.
