Amazon Prime Day is just around the corner, and the retail giant is preparing to offer a new set of deals for October. Vacuum cleaners were a significant part of the sales event now held twice a year, so we anticipate that they will be a major focus this fall as well.
The best vacuum cleaners come in all shapes and sizes, with types to suit varying needs. While wired means no charging, it means cable effort, plugging in and out, and moving as you work. Cordless vacuums are now better than ever, with most offering close to an hour on a charge, which should suit the average home just fine. There are upright vacuums, stick models, and cylinders, and that's not even considering robots.
We spend most of the year feverishly tracking the comings and goings of the best vacuum cleaners for home use, so we're always excited when they're about to go on offer. To save you a job, we'll be intensively searching through the very best Amazon Prime Day deals before, during, and after the mega event.
The summer saw the Roomba s9+, for example, discounted from $999.99 to $599.99, and the super-smart ECOVACS DEEBOT X1 Omni dropped down from $1,549.99 to $854.99 (both are still on offer now).
October's event is set to be just as deal-filled, so bookmark this page if you're in the market for a new vacuum cleaner before the end of the year.
We'll start to share the most exciting deals as Prime Day approaches, as the trend is for discounts to appear well before the titular 'day.' There is also the risk that stock will start to run low, so if you see a vacuum cleaner deal that you like the look of, then the time to buy is now - or when we gear up for the next big sales event in a couple of months; Black Friday.

Amazon Prime Day vacuum deals 2023: what you need to know
Hasn't there already been a Prime Day in 2023?
Amazon Prime Day 2023 ran from midnight PST on July 11 until 11:59 pm PDT on July 12, 2023. This timeline is similar to last year when Amazon Prime Day took place on Tuesday, July 12, and Wednesday, July 13.
There were a number of epic Prime Day deals available in a couple of weeks running up to the event, too, so shoppers could bag a bargain pretty early on. Some discounts remain live for several days following the event, too, which can appeal to any last-minute deal hunters.
Will there be another Prime day this year?
Yes. Amazon hasn't (yet) confirmed dates, but we are expecting the return of Prime Early Access at a similar time to last year - October.
This event comes in the run-up to Black Friday and is also a two-day event exclusively available to Prime members. It is essentially a teaser into the Amazon Black Friday sale, providing early access to the retailer's end-of-year sale.
As soon as we hear any further news or announcements, we'll update this page with the next steps.
What is Prime Day?
Amazon Prime Day is a mega two-day event full of epic deals on Amazon's own brands and other favorites, including Dyson, Ninja, and Shark.
It's exclusively for people with Prime membership, so you won't see the deals unless you're signed up.
How do I become an Amazon Prime member?
In order to get access to Prime Day deals, you'll need to be an Amazon Prime member. This costs $14.99 per month or £139 for the year.
However, if you haven't subscribed to become a member before, you can take advantage of the 30-day Amazon Prime free trial to buy the deals. You won't be eligible for this if you've used it in past Prime Day sales or if you've signed up for the subscription service before.
Whilst on the free trial, you can get all the other membership benefits, including free, next-day shipping, access to Prime Video, and so much more. You can cancel for free any time during the trial while you're in the 30-day window, so it's worth considering for sale events like this.
How does Prime Day work?
You'll see discounts across the site if you've signed up for Amazon Prime and logged into your account. In previous years, Amazon Prime discounts have been clearly marked across the site's 12 million+ products, so you know you're getting the deal because you're a Prime Member.
There are always deals throughout Prime Day, which you can access anytime. Then, there are daily Amazon Prime Day deals, which run for 24 hours or until stock is depleted. Finally, there are Lightning Deals, which appear every few minutes and run until a particular item's stock has been bought. Sometimes, Lightning Deals run for hours or minutes. It depends on what the product is.
Once you've checked out with all your stuff, that expedited Prime delivery will see the products in your home within a few days. It used to be overnight in most areas, but since the explosion in at-home shopping during 2020, deliveries – while still free – can take a little longer.
