Vacuum shopping is rarely exciting, but early Black Friday deals, the one that helps you save hundreds of dollars, can make it a lot less boring, in my opinion. To make things easier, I’ve sifted through the available vacuum cleaner deals and picked the ones worth considering right now.
Since I can’t see your floors, I don’t know whether you have pets or how much you’re willing to spend on a vacuum cleaner, so I’ve highlighted which model suits each situation best.
Bissell Featherweight 2033M – $34.99 (13% off)
If I were furnishing a dorm, a rental, or a closet-sized spare, I’d start here. This stick weighs under 4 pounds, so your hand won’t hurt from carrying it around. It converts to a hand vacuum for the tighter spaces. It also ships with a crevice tool and a floor nozzle for stairs. At $34.99 in a “Limited time deal,” down from $39.99 (13% off), it’s a cheap, fair pickup.
| Spec | Details |
| Type | Corded stick that converts to a hand vac |
| Weight | Under 4 lb, per the listing |
| Cord | 15 ft |
| Dirt cup | 0.67 liters, bagless |
| Floors | Hard floors, low-pile carpet, stairs |
Eureka Airspeed NEU10AE5 – $62.97 (10% off)
I recommend this for apartment dwellers, older relatives, or anyone tired of wrestling a heavy upright vacuum. At just 7.7 pounds, it’s easy to carry, and the 10.5-inch cleaning path makes quick work of everyday messes. The quick-release handle also doubles as a handy cleaning tool, with a crevice tool and dusting brush to reach awkward corners and hard-to-clean spots.
| Spec | Details |
| Type | Corded bagless upright |
| Weight | 7.7 lb |
| Cleaning path | 10.5 inches |
| Dust cup | 1.7 liters |
| Cord and filter | 25 ft cord; washable foam filter |
Shark Navigator Lift-Away NV352 – $139.99 (22% off)
I’d steer families with a mix of carpet, hard floors, and stairs toward this one. The Lift-Away pod detaches from the main unit, making it much more convenient to tackle stairs, clean upholstery, or get under furniture without lugging the entire vacuum around. Its HEPA filter, paired with Anti-Allergen Complete Seal technology, traps 99.9% of dust and allergens, which is a welcome bonus for allergy sufferers and pet owners.
| Spec | Details |
| Type | Corded bagless upright with Lift-Away pod |
| Weight | 12.5 lb, per the Amazon listing |
| Cord | 25 ft |
| Filtration | Washable HEPA and foam filters |
| Cup and tools | About 1.1 qt; upholstery and crevice tools |
Dyson V9 Motorbar – $269.95 (55% off)
I’d recommend this to small-home and apartment cleaners who’d prefer a cordless stick rather than uncoil one every single time. The stick runs up to 40 minutes in Eco Mode. Further, the Motorbar head detangles hair. While the vacuum performs well in strong suction mode, expect a lower runtime.
Anyway, people will buy this one because it’s a Dyson; the deal just makes it an even better option.
| Spec | Details |
| Type | Cordless stick that converts to handheld |
| Weight | 4.6 lb |
| Run time | Up to 40 minutes in Eco mode |
| Suction and bin | 100 Air Watts; 0.1-gallon bin |
| Filtration | Whole-machine; 99.99% at 0.3 microns in Boost |
Shark Vertex Lift-Away AZ2002 – $269.99 (44% off)
I’d pick this for pet owners and carpet-heavy homes that want one vacuum to do everything. It features a self-cleaning brushroll that fights hair wrap. The Powered Lift-Away keeps the motorized nozzle working under furniture. At about 16.4 pounds, it’s too heavy for small flats and stair-heavy homes. It’s 44% off at $269.99 in an Early Black Friday Deal, down from $479.99.
| Spec | Details |
| Type | Corded upright with Powered Lift-Away |
| Brushes | DuoClean PowerFins; self-cleaning brushroll |
| Weight and cord | About 16.4 lb; 30 ft cord |
| Dust cup | 1 quart, bagless |
| Filtration | Washable HEPA; Anti-Allergen Complete Seal |
