Black Friday is officially here, and retailers are offering notable vacuum deals during the event. You can also find sales on TVs, smartwatches, beauty products and more, many of which run through Cyber Monday.
I frequently cover shopping events and cleaning appliances as a commerce editor for NBC Select, and I spent weeks combing through discounts to find the best Black Friday vacuums deals actually worth shopping. Each one I recommend below is highly rated and at least 20% off. When possible, I ran deals through price trackers to make sure they’re at their lowest price in at least three months.

Best Black Friday cordless vacuum deals
Dyson V7 Cordless Stick Vacuum
4.4-star average rating from 3,238 reviews on Amazon
At just over five pounds, the Dyson V7 is an ultra-lightweight cordless vacuum with a de-tangling motorbar, two cleaning modes, a runtime of around 40 minutes and works on both hard floors and carpets. It comes with multiple attachments so you can clean both low and elevated areas and you can empty the dustbin without actually touching it.
Dyson V15s Detect Submarine Wet Dry Vacuum
4.1-star average rating from 522 reviews on Amazon
The Dyson V15s is a vacuum and a mop all in one. It has a digital cleaning head for picking up debris from carpet and a wet roller head for mopping hard floors. The green light at the front of the base makes it easier to see small particles on the floor. It has a clean water tank and a separate tray for dirty water, and the base swivels, so you can easily move around furniture.
Shark Detect Pro Cordless Vacuum
4-star average rating from 541 reviews on AmazonThe Detect Pro has three types of cleaning modes — floor, edge and dirt detection — which helps the base adjust its cleaning style depending on where you’re using it. It comes with a HEPA filter and an anti-allergen seal to trap particles as you clean. The handle has an LED display that uses colors to alert you when the battery is low or let you know when it changes cleaning modes. NBC Select editorial projects manager Rebecca Rodriguez has the Detect and uses it all the time to clean up after her pets.
Best Black Friday upright vacuum deals
Shark Navigator Lift-Away Upright Vacuum
4.4-star average rating from 107,756 reviews on Amazon
An NBC-Select-reader favorite, the Shark Navigator is a compact and relatively lightweight upright option that has a swivel-steering base, so it’s easy to maneuver around furniture. It also comes with a crevice tool for cleaning small spaces, an extended pod attachment so you can clean elevated areas and an upholstery attachment for cleaning pet hair from couches and chairs. My brother and I got my mom the Shark Navigator one year and, as someone who prefers upright vacuums to cordless ones, she loves how powerful it is.
Bissell SurfaceSense Lift-Off Pet Upright Vacuum
4.4-star average rating from 1,246 reviews on Amazon
The Bissell SurfaceSense upright vacuum is compatible with all floor types, and uses a row of lights at the base to help you see the debris as you clean it. It has a tangle-free brushroll base, which makes it easy to clean hair, a HEPA filter and anti-allergen seal. The top detaches so you can use it as a handheld vacuum and it comes with an extended attachment so you don’t have to bend down or strain to reach elevated areas.
Bissell CrossWave Floor and Area Rug Cleaner
4.3-star average rating from 25,358 reviews on Amazon
The Bissell CrossWave floor cleaner falls somewhere between a cordless stick vacuum and a full-on upright vacuum, since it has a slim shape, but it still has the power to work on multiple surfaces, including sealed wood, laminate and tile. It also has a water tank that separates dirty and clean water, so you can use the vacuum as a mop after cleaning up debris.
Best Black Friday robot vacuum deals
Shark AI Ultra Voice Control Robot Vacuum
4.2-star average rating from 32,526 reviews on Amazon
This self-emptying robot vacuum uses mapping technology to clean your home without bumping into furniture or getting stuck. When it redocks itself onto the homebase, it also empties its dustbin into the base, which holds up to 60 days worth of debris, according to the brand. It’s compatible with both carpet and hard surfaces such as wood and tile. You can also control it remotely by connecting it to an app on your phone, which lets you set a schedule or uses Amazon Alexa to give it commands.
iRobot Roomba Robot Vacuum Mop Combo
4.0-star average rating from 604 reviews on Amazon
The iRobot Roomba robot vacuum and mop appliance has two cleaning modes — vacuuming or vacuuming and mopping at the same time. It has an edge-sweeping brush, a microfiber mop pad, and an additional brush in the center. It cleans in a swiveling motion to cover as much surface area as possible and it has a runtime of 120 minutes, according to the brand.
