Amazon Prime Day 2022 is only running for one more day, so take advantage of the sales on some of our favorite models — including robot vacuums, upright vacuums, and or cordless stick vacuums. If you haven't figured out what vacuum you need yet, check our guides to the best vacuum cleaners, robot vacuums, cordless vacuums, and budget vacuum cleaners to help narrow down your search.

You can also find great deals on vacuums from competing sales at Target, Best Buy, and more. We've included some of those deals here too. For more deals on robot vacs, check out our coverage of the best Roomba deals.

The best Prime Day deals on robot vacuums

Robot vacuums, after some initial set-up, are mostly hands-off and do most of the cleaning work for you. Keep in mind they can't climb stairs and can have difficulty getting into corners. We'll be on the lookout for deals from iRobot, Roborock, Ecovacs, and more.

The best Prime Day deals on cordless vacuums

Cordless vacuums are very convenient and usually lighter and more compact than corded vacuums. The downside is you might need to charge them often depending on the size of your space. Dyson cordless vacuums are notoriously expensive, but a few models are on sale during Prime Day. You'll also see deals on cordless vacuums that are already pretty affordable, like those from Hoover.

The best Prime Day deals on corded upright vacuums

Corded upright vacuums are good for large homes and long cleaning sessions where you don't want to worry about battery life. They tend to be powerful and have large dustbins to collect lots of dust and particles. They're also more affordable than cordless and robot vacuums. Shark, Bissell, and Hoover often discount their corded upright vacuums on Prime Day.

You can read more about the different types of vacuums and their pros and cons in these buying guides: best vacuum cleaners, best robot vacuums, best cordless vacuums, and best budget vacuum cleaners.

How we vet deals on vacuums on Amazon Prime Day

We see deals on vacuums all year long, but the discounts are the most significant on Prime Day and Cyber Weekend. We use historical price data to compare how the newest deals compare to those of past years. We'll recommend the deal if the new deal is the same or better than in previous years.

In addition, we like to recommend deals on the best products from our buying guides. At their normal price, they already provide great value and top performance. We want to help you get even more value out of these high-quality products by highlighting any applicable Prime Day deals.

For vacuums specifically, we also take into account whether the deal includes additional attachments or bundled offerings that aren't ordinarily included.

Learn more about how we vet deals and terms like "MSRP" and "street price" you might see in our deals roundups.
