Best Prime Day vacuum deals
Shark Navigator Lift Away Upright Vacuum
4.4-star average rating from 106,045 reviews on Amazon
Lowest price in three months
The Shark Navigator Lift Away vacuum is one of the best upright vacuums on the market, mainly due to its strong suction, brushroll mechanism, swivel-steering base, HEPA filter compatibility and the fact that it’s effective on pet hair. It also comes with a crevice tool that makes it easy to clean elevated areas and low spots around the house such as baseboards and behind appliances.

4.0-star average rating from 7,542 reviews on Amazon

The iRobot Roomba robot vacuum makes maintaining clean hardwood, tile and carpet flooring incredibly easy. It picks up debris on various surfaces, such as food residue and pet hair. It also has a built-in camera that helps it move around the house without bumping into furniture. It has a self-emptying feature and an app compatible with voice assistants such as Google Home or Amazon Alexa.

The Bissell Little Green Multi-Purpose Cleaner is an NBC Select staff favorite for cleaning, especially carpets and upholstery. NBC Select updates editor Mili Godio has the Little Green and uses it to clean up pet accidents. The machine is ideal for cleaning set-in stains on couches, carpets, car seats, cushions, and more.
Shark Stratos Upright Vacuum
4.4-star average rating from 12,624 reviews on Amazon
Lowest price in three months
Shark’s popular upright Stratos vacuum effectively cleans carpets and hardwood floors, even large debris, thanks to the brush roll at the base. The vacuum’s body also detaches from the handle so that you can reach under large furniture or on elevated surfaces more easily. It also cleans up stuck-on pet hair caught in the carpet and has a crevice tool.
Dyson V8 Plus Cordless Vacuum
4.2-star average rating from 899 reviews on Amazon
Lowest price in three months
We previously tested the DysonV8 stick vacuum in the office, and used it to clean up a range of debris including food crumbs, and were impressed with its cleaning abilities. One of Dyson’s most affordable models, the V8 is incredibly lightweight, easy to maneuver across carpet and hardwood floor and comes with both a brush and crevice attachment for cleaning floor, shelves, windowsills and more.
Bissell CleanView Rewind Upright Bagless Vacuum
4.5-star average rating from 2,970 reviews on Amazon
Lowest price ever
The Bissell CleanView Rewind upright vacuum is great for cleaning many types of messes, especially any you’re sure to find on a carpet. It has a large dust compartment, so you don’t have to empty it super often, and an extension wand that lets you clean elevated areas such as shelves and windowsill. The best part is the retractable electrical cord that stores itself with a button.
Shark PowerDetect Upright Vacuum
4.4-star average rating from 12,624 reviews on Amazon
Lowest price ever
Shark makes many useful vacuums, including both stick and upright, and the PowerDetect is one of the brand’s most versatile models. It has a powerful brushroll at the base that adjusts to different floor types and it has technology making it easy for it to clean around edges and crevices around baseboards. It also has a large dustpan, so it doesn’t get full too quickly with each clean.
Dyson V11 Origin Cordless Vacuum
4.6-star average rating from 287 reviews on Amazon
Lowest price ever
Similar in shape and size to the V8, the Dyson V11 vacuum is a great lightweight yet thorough vacuum option with a runtime of about 1 hour, according to the brand. The brush roll at the base of the vacuum detangles stuck-on pet hair and debris from carpets and other floor types. The top of the vacuum handle has an LCD screen showing runtime and cleaning mode.
