If you’re in need of a vacuum cleaner upgrade, or have long been tempted to invest in a robot vacuum to do all the hard work for you (us too), the Cyber Monday sales event is here and is your last chance to bag a hefty discount before the Black Friday sales end.
We've found some impressive savings on vacuums from big names including Dyson, Shark and Hoover. Major online retailers and department stores like Amazon, Lakeland and John Lewis have dropped prices on a wealth of vacuum cleaners too.
Read on to find out which vacuum cleaners, tested by our experts at the Good Housekeeping Institute, are on sale right now.
Best vacuum cleaner deals
Below, we've pulled together the best Cyber Monday deals available right now on top-performing vacuums. We'll be updating this page throughout the sales period, so keep checking back for the best discounts as they drop.
Cordless vacuum cleaner deals
Cordless stick vacuum cleaners free you from the faff of unruly wires, running on rechargeable batteries instead. These lightweight models can often convert into small handheld devices for ease.
Upright vacuum cleaner deals
Upright vacuum cleaners are a good option if you want something portable that has a lot of suction power. These models run entirely on mains power, which means you won't have to wait for them to charge. They do tend to be bulkier than cordless models, so they're better suited to homes with storage space.
Cylinder vacuum cleaner deals
Similar to upright models, cylinder vacuums run on mains power, so there's no need to worry about them packing up halfway through a clean. They come with a long hose, which is great for cleaning awkward areas like stairs and under and around furniture.
Handheld vacuum cleaner deals
Handheld vacuum cleaners are great for cleaning hard-to-reach spaces, such as car interiors, the sofa and skirting boards. Their cordless abilities make them suitable for quick clean-ups, and they're easily stored away thanks to their compact design.
Robot vacuum cleaner deals
Robot vacs are completely hands-free, cleaning floors without you even needing to be home. Many have built-in sensors to ensure they get close to walls and deep into corners, while also preventing them from bumping into furniture or toppling down the stairs.
How we pick the best vacuum cleaner Cyber Monday deals
With so many models to choose from, including sticks, cylinders, handhelds, uprights and robots, knowing which vacuum cleaner is right for your needs can be overwhelming.
Thankfully, the Good Housekeeping Institute has rigorously tested over 100 models (analysing design, performance, ease of use and more) to find the very best money can buy.

When is Black Friday and Cyber Monday 2024?
Black Friday has arrived! It begins on Friday 29 November and runs until Cyber Monday on 2 December. Now's the time to get shopping.
When do the Black Friday sales end?
Most Black Friday sales run throughout the weekend until midnight on Cyber Monday, 2 December (11:59 to be precise). This gives you four whole days to shop and take advantage of some major discounts.
In some cases, brands will continue their sales beyond Cyber Monday, lasting into the first week of December.
How much should I spend on a good vacuum cleaner?
When shopping for a vacuum cleaner, your budget largely depends on your household needs and the features you're looking for.
If it's a no-frills vacuum you're after, expect to spend under £150. At this price point, you’ll find decent models capable of handling routine cleaning tasks, especially in smaller homes.
For most households, spending between £150 and £300 will get you a high-quality, reliable vacuum that balances performance and price. These vacuums offer stronger suction, more versatility and better filtration systems, including HEPA filters (a must for pet owners or allergy sufferers).
In the £300 to £600 range, you're looking at premium vacuums that boast advanced features and smart technologies, such as automatic surface adjustment, self-cleaning brushes and robot vacuums with mapping capabilities.
