You can save £450 on this high-end robot vacuum cleaner in Argos’s Black Friday sale. Rated by our reviewer as the best robot vacuum cleaner for homes with steps, this clever machine has extendable legs, which help it clear steps of up to 6cm. With its all-in-one base station that empties the dustbin and refills the water tank, the Dreame X50 offer a hands-off cleaning experience. “If you want a robovac that cleans brilliantly and won’t get stuck on a step, the Dreame X50 Ultra is your best choice,” said tech critic Steve Hogarty.

Eufy is a market leader when it comes to robot vacuums. Paired with its own app, the vacuum enables you to map out which rooms you want it to clean and set up no-go zones to avoid. It’s dropped to its lowest ever price at Argos – we’ll let you know if it gets any cheaper.

When tech expert Steve Hogarty tested the Roborock saros 10 in his guide to the best robot vacuums, he vouched for its premium price. “It mops and vacuums, […] it can refill its own water tank and empty its dustbin into its base station, and it uses dual rollers, an edge brush, accurate mapping and powerful suction to deliver impressive all-around cleaning performance,” he wrote. Now, you won’t have to sweat over the price so much with 47 per cent off at Amazon.

On the lookout for a robot vacuum cleaner? This deal is worth your attention. In his review of the eufy omni E25, tech critic Steve Hogarty described the vacuum as “the beefy powerhouse of the eufy range”. He added: “More expensive than the X10, it justifies the price difference with a frankly monstrous suction power of 20,000Pa – more than double that of the X10.”

You can currently get this model for £250 off on Amazon, which takes the price down to its lowest ever.

This model came out on top in our guide to the best robot vacuum cleaners, with our tech critic, Steve Hogarty, saying it’s “the company’s latest high-end model, and it’s the most hands-off machine I’ve tested yet.”

In his full review of the X10 pro omni, our senior tech critic, Alex Lee, also called it “a marvellous machine”. He said it “excels at mopping” and boasts a “generous water tank that requires infrequent refills”. Plus, its automated, hands-off approach makes it really convenient. This model is typically sold for £699 at most retailers, so you can currently get a massive £160 off that price when you buy the white version at Amazon.

This robot vacuum cleaner has more than £100 off at iRobot. Complete with both mop and vacuum functions, it featured in our guide to the best robot vacuums, in which tech critic Steve Hogarty praised the 105’s “powerful suction” and easy-to-use app. At this price point, though, you’ll have to do without more-advanced features such as camera-based object avoidance and self-emptying tech. However, if you’re looking for an entry-level robot model, this deal is worth considering.

Emptying your vacuum’s dirt into the bin is never pleasant, but Shark’s cordless clean and empty vacuum can minimise this grim task. It deposits dirt into its own base that you don’t need to empty for up to 30 days, cutting down on that extra mucky job and reducing household dust. The Shark cordless clean and empty is also incredibly light at a meagre 2.65kg, so you’ll be powering through the upstairs and tricky nooks and crannies with ease.

The Shark cordless clean and empty actually took the top spot in our picks of the best Shark vacuum cleaners. Tester Zoe Griffin said: “For exceptional cleaning on both hard floors and carpet, the Shark auto-detect clean and empty stands out as a truly useful household helper.”

Dubbed the best self-emptying cordless vacuum cleaner in our review, this model is now on sale with more than £200 off at Amazon. “If you hate emptying your cordless vacuum, this Shark model is a dream come true,” said appliances expert Joanne Lewsley. “The vacuum’s ‘clean and empty’ station provides a dust-free way to empty your machine, which Joanne said is “ideal if you’re too busy to empty or if you have people with allergies in your home”.

This model may not look as cute as the classic Henry vacuum, but it’s a solid option if you’re looking for a cordless design – especially now that it comes with an impressive discount at John Lewis. The vacuum promises up to 60 minutes of battery life, and, thanks to the ready-to-use pods, there are no filters to clean either. The pro version was chosen as the best cordless vacuum cleaner, with our tester writing: “ While it’s not the most compact or lightweight cleaner, the clever pod system and powerful suction make this a great all-rounder for busy households. It may not have the fancy lasers of other vacuums, but this will effectively clean your home for a fair price – it’s all you need.”

If you can’t muster the strength to wrangle your cylinder vacuum up a flight of stairs, this lightweight cordless vacuum from Dyson could be the solution to your struggles. Weighing in at just 2.4kg, the device is now reduced by £140 at Dyson and features attachments for carpet, hard floors, small crevices and dust build-up. When appliance expert Siobhan Grogan used it in her own home, while compiling her guide to the best Dyson vacuums, she found, “It doesn’t skimp on nice-to-have features, though, with impressive de-tangling technology, a cleaner head with a laser to reveal dirt, and a screen that shows exactly what has been sucked up.”

Dubbed the best cordless vacuum cleaner for pet hair in our review, this model is now on sale at Amazon, where you’ll save a massive £180. Our tester, Joanne Lewsley, said it’s a game-changer for tackling pet hair and odours. It’s nimble, has a flexible wand and can be folded in half for storage, making it a great option for flats.

Already dubbed the best budget cordless vacuum cleaner in our expert review, this model is now even cheaper, thanks to this Black Friday deal. “This cordless vacuum is surprisingly lightweight, which makes quick clean-ups around the kitchen and hallway pretty easy,” our tester said. “Its affordable price tag makes it a great starter vacuum for young adults moving into their first flat or older readers living in single-story homes like bungalows.”

Save £131 on this Dyson V8 vacuum, which is almost 40 per cent off. Home appliance tester Siobian Grogan reviewed the Dyson V8 absolute and noted that it’s a great budget option. If you’ve had a Dyson on your wishlist this year, now is the best time to invest in a model, as it’s currently at its lowest price ever at Currys.

This vacuum cleaner took the top spot in our guide to the best cylinder vacuums, with reviewer Zoë Phillimore commending it for being nifty, relatively easy to store and fairly compact. She added, “Emptying the Hoover was a breeze, and the HEPA filter is washable, which is great for those with allergies. I also liked that I could push a button, and the cord would wind itself back into the vacuum.”

With a £30 discount, it now costs less than £100. If you miss this deal, you can get it for the same price on Amazon.

Our tester, Zoe Griffin, tested a very similar Shark upright cleaner (the Shark classic upright vacuum cleaner with anti-hair-wrap technology) and loved its functionality. The lift-away technology transforms it into a portable vacuum so you can clean sofas, stairs and hard-to-reach areas like ceilings. Zoe said, “With one press of a button, this upright transforms into a lightweight portable vacuum that can easily clean stairs and soft furnishings with the included crevice tool and multi-surface tool.” The Shark corded upright vacuum cleaner is currently reduced by 42 per cent, saving you more than £80.

This old-school Henry vacuum cleaner landed a spot in our guide of the best corded vacuum cleaners and received glowing reviews from our expert tester. And you can now save £40 in the Currys Black Friday event. “Henry’s strong airflow drives the turbo bar, helping the appliance to pick up stubborn hair and debris with which standard vacuums often struggle,” they said, adding that “after snack time, crushed cereal and biscuit crumbs were removed effortlessly from a thick carpet.” Plus, the massive 6l dust bag is so large it rarely needs emptying and can be disposed of as a whole when done.

Best handheld vacuum cleaner deals

Dubbed the best budget handheld vacuum cleaner in our roundup, this model is currently a little more purse friendly with a modest £5 off the price tag. While it’s not as impressive as other discounts on this list, it offers an incentive to check out this already well-priced and lightweight machine. When she took it for a spin, our tester, Caroline Preece, said: “It might not look like much, but looks can be deceiving. During my tests, this model sucked up dirt with ease, and it even handled spillages well.”

For those after a powerful handheld vacuum able to tackle stubborn pet hair or hidden dust and debris under furniture or corners, you’ll want to note down this deal. In her Gtech prolite review, IndyBest tester Caroline Preece said she found it “particularly effective when tackling carpeted surfaces, providing deeper cleaning than many competing handhelds”. The handy built-in light helped navigate dark corners, plus the vacuum bag is a bonus for those with allergies. We’ve found this model with a 40 per cent discount at Amazon, saving you more than £50.
