Amazon Prime Day vacuum deals 2024: the best early bargains

Shark IX141 Pet Cordless Stick Vacuum: was $259.99 now $149.99 at Amazon
This cordless vacuum just dropped to the lowest price we've ever seem – and it's a limited-time deal, so we're not expecting it to stick around long. It's lightweight and can be turned into a handheld for extra versatility, and the HEPA filter traps even the tiniest particles and allergens. This deal is matched at Shark direct.

Ecovacs Deebot T30S Combo Robot Vacuum and Mop: was $1,199.99 now $950.99 at Amazon
This is the cheapest price this premium, feature-packed and very capable robot vacuum has ever been. In our Ecovacs Deebot T30S review, our tester was extremely impressed, calling it "an almost perfect robot vacuum".  It's great at vacuuming (including the edges of rooms), comes with its own voice assistant and delivers great mapping capabilities.

Shark AV2501S AI Ultra Robot vacuum: was $549.99 now
$249.99 at Amazon
This Shark robovac is less than half price right now, and the cheapest we've ever seen it for. There's no mopping, but it'll take care of the vacuuming for you, and comes with a self-empty base, and a brushroll that self-cleans. Shark really knows what it's doing when it comes to vacuums, and this is one of the strongest robovac deals we've seen ahead of Prime Day.

Shark IZ562H Pro Cordless Vacuum: was $399.99 now $299.99 at Amazon
We haven't tested this specific model yet, but we are big fans of the brand, and this vac packs a load of Shark vacuum technologies that have impressed us in other reviews. For example, there are sensors that adjust suction when they detect dirt, an odor-neutralizing puck that leaves floors smelling fresh, and a self-cleaning brushroll that siphons off hair into the dust cup as you clean. Ahead of Prime Day there's a massive 25% off – this is a deal we've seen before, but it's rarely bettered, and it's excellent value for a vacuum with these specs.

Shark HV301 Rocket Ultra-Light Corded Bagless Vacuum: was $249.99 now $129.99 at Amazon
If you're looking for a lightweight vacuum for a range of cleaning jobs, this looks like an excellent option. The fact that it's corded might put some off, but it often means better suction... and you won't need to worry about stopping to recharge either. It's not quite the cheapest we've seen it, but it's still a strong discount in context of previous prices. 

Shark AZ3002 Stratos Upright Vacuum: was $499.99 now $399.99 at Amazon
The market may be dominated by cordless stick vacuums right now, but if you want a true deep clean, a corded upright often your best bet for outright power. In our Shark Stratos Upright vacuum review we were impressed with the way the dust cup section can be removed from the wand, and a flexible hose swapped in for getting into tricky corners. There's currently $100 off at Amazon, and you can get the same deal at Best Buy. This discount has just increased, but it's not quite the cheapest we've seen it – it might be worth holding off to see if it gets a bigger price drop on Prime Day itself. 

Dyson Gen5detect vacuum: was $949.99 now $737.99 at Amazon
Sure, it's still not exactly cheap but this is a major discount on Dyson's latest-and-greatest vacuum. If you want top-of-the-range engineering, this cordless vacuum delivers, with a host of smart features all geared towards taking your dust-busting to a new level. In our Dyson Gen5Detect review we were impressed with the 70 minute battery life, the ability to capture particles as small as 0.1 microns, and LED headlights that illuminate dirt on hard floors. A 22% off discount ahead of Prime Day is worth snapping up. 

Shark NV360 Navigator Lift-Away Deluxe Upright Vacuum: was $219.99 now $169.99 at Amazon
Upright vacuums are generally the best option for maximum suction power, so if you need to do a deep clean, then this is a good shout. The dust cup mechanism can be removed and held, to make it the vacuum more maneuverable, when you need to get into tight corners. We have occasionally seen the vacuum for cheaper, so it's worth keeping an eye out on on Prime Day itself. 

Shark HV322 Rocket Deluxe Pro Corded Stick Vacuum: was $249.99 now $149.99 at Amazon
This lightweight corded stick vacuum is an absolute bargain in the pre-Prime Day sales. It has LED headlights to illuminate stray dust and debris, and converts into a handheld for getting into tricky corners. 

Shark Stratos Corded Stick Pet Pro: was £249.99 now £200 at Shark
Pop code SHRKCLEAN20 in at checkout to knock 20% off this corded stick vacuum. In our Shark Stratos Corded Stick vacuum review we were super-impressed; this vacuum packs some powerful suction, there's anti hair-wrap tech to prevent against clogged brushrolls, and a bendable hose to let you clean beneath furniture with ease. The only potential down-side really is that it's corded, although the cord is long enough that you won't feel tied to the wall. And this really is an outstanding offer.

Vax Blade 4 Dual Pet & Car Cordless Vacuum Cleaner: was £369.99 now £219 at Amazon
This Vax cordless vac has a massive 41% off ahead of Prime Day. In our Vax Blade 4 Cordless Vacuum Cleaner review, we were impressed with the suction power and swappable batteries, which deliver a total of 90 minutes cleaning time. The main vacuum can be a little cumbersome in handheld mode, but the flexible hose should be better for getting into awkward corners. There's also a motorized tool specifically for getting pet hair out.

Shark WandVac System: was £229.99 now £198 at Amazon
If you're looking for an affordable, versatile and lightweight vacuum for smaller cleaning tasks, the Shark WandVac System is a great shout. It's essentially a handheld vac onto which a floorhead can be added, and in our Shark WandVac System review we found it versatile and comfortable to use. The current deal knocks 14% off RRP. We see this offer fairly regularly, but it's rarely bettered.
