    Combo Vacuum-Mops

    The Roborock Dyad Pro Wet and Dry Vacuum Cleaner Mop’s strength is its ability to clean up wet messes, such as cereal and milk. It’s also great at suctioning up dry debris and removing dried stains. Our evaluators found it easy to clean after usage, and it comes with convenient features such as an auto-drying function for its brushrolls.

    The Tineco Floor One S7 Pro Smart Wet Dry Vacuum Cleaner scored impressive ratings in our wet pickup and stain removal tests and does decently at cleaning dry spills. The model comes with a dirt-detection feature that helps it adjust its cleaning accordingly. It also has a long average run time of 37 minutes, meaning you’re less likely to have to recharge it in the middle of cleaning. It’s currently selling at the lowest price we’ve seen in the last three months.

    The Shark HydroVac Pro XL Cordless scored very good ratings in all of our cleaning tests, though our evaluators pointed out it’s not the easiest to clean after you use it. Its battery life is on the shorter side, with an average of 22 minutes, but it’s pretty lighweight at only 9 pounds.

    Robotic Vacuums

    The budget-friendly Eufy RoboVac 11S is at a great price right now, back to the lowest we’ve seen. Its seemingly uncalculated movements may not be as efficient as those of other models, but the multiple passes it made on our test floors account for its excellent debris pickup and coverage scores in our ratings, especially on bare floors. We noticed that its side brushes scattered debris but the vac eventually picked it up after more passes, landing it a very good score for edges as well as pet hair.

    This is not a connected model, though, so you can’t control it through an app, like other robovacs. On the Eufy page, you’ll have to use the on-page coupon to get this deal.

    The iRobot Roomba Combo j5+ Vacuum Cleaner is ideal if your home has mostly bare floors. It earned top-notch scores in our bare floors cleaning tests, but did only so-so on carpets. Our evaluators found it to be very convenient to use, and the vacuum automatically empties its bin into the docking station, sparing you that messy job.

    Not every robot vacuum is good at cleaning carpets, but the Roborock S8 Pro Ultra is one of the few to earn an excellent rating in our carpet test. It similarly impresses us with its ability to vacuum up pet hair. The model doubles as a robot mop that the manufacturer claims is self-washing and self-drying. We typically see this model selling for $1,400, so you’re saving a lot on this deal.

    Cordless Stick Vacuums

    The LG CordZero All-in-One A949KTMS is a cleaning powerhouse that scored excellent ratings in our bare floors, edges, and pet hair tests. It also edges out its competitors in cleaning carpets. The vac comes with many conveniences, including an automatic empty feature that cleans the bin after each use. It was $100 less at Amazon for Black Friday, so there is a small chance the price could fall again this month as part of a holiday special. It may be one to keep an eye on.

    The cordless Shark Stratos IZ862H has Shark’s signature DuoClean brush roll and a flexible wand for reaching under furniture. It earns top scores for cleaning bare floors and removing debris along edges. But if you have carpet, it’s only so-so. A dirt sensor increases suction when the vacuum senses debris and decreases when the floor is clean. It has a self-cleaning mechanism that prevents hair from getting tangled around the brush roll. The vacuuming mode and battery life are displayed on the console. Get it now for as much as 50 percent off.

    Corded Stick Vacuums

    The Shark Rocket HV322 corded vacuum excels in pet hair pickup but is only so-so at cleaning carpet. It converts to a hand vacuum and comes with a bare-floor tool and a motorized small-brush accessory. This model can be stored compactly, and the dirt chamber can be emptied in just one step. Plus, surveyed owners gave the brand high marks for reliability and satisfaction. It was nearly $20 less at Amazon for Cyber Monday, so you’re not saving quite as much as you could have, but this is still a nice price.

    The Shark Rocket HV301 comes with a 30-foot cord and can be converted into a hand vacuum, adding to its convenience. We found it to be excellent at sucking up debris from bare floors and picking up pet hair. It also does a decent job of cleaning carpets. You’ll be getting this at the lowest price we’ve seen in months, especially since it’s now $10 less than it was for Cyber Monday.

    The Shark UltraLight PetPro HZ702 Vacuum Cleaner is lightweight at 8.1 pounds and has powerful suction that excels at picking up pet hair. It comes with a 25-foot-long cord and can be converted into a hand vacuum. One of our favorite things about this vacuum is that the top can be detached and hooked to the bottom for easy storage. 

    Handheld Vacuums

    Not all handheld vacuums can tackle pet hair with aplomb, but the Shark Ion aces that task. It’s also a champ at cleaning bare floors and getting into hard-to-reach places, and it’s not too shabby at cleaning carpet. The vacuum and all its attachments can be stored on the charging base, making it a real space-saver. And at just 1.4 pounds, it’s the lightest hand vac in our tests. The only downside to its small size is the small dust bin, which may have to be emptied more than once if you have a sizable spill.

    With a built-in hose, the compact, cord-free Black+Decker Flex makes it easy to suction up debris in hard-to-reach places, like under a car seat or behind your washer. It earns a stellar rating for cleaning edges and tight spaces. It also comes with a rubber pet-hair attachment that helps remove more hair because it doesn’t stick to the rubber and goes directly into the suction tube.

    Upright Vacuums

    A popular pick on Amazon, the Shark Navigator Professional NV360 Vacuum Cleaner is currently selling at the lowest price we’ve seen in months. Despite being fairly lightweight—it weighs only 14 pounds—it’s a strong performer at cleaning, acing our carpet, bare floors, and pet hair tests. The model also has a detachable pod that makes it easier to clean stairs and under furniture. 

    The Shark Stratos AZ3002 is good for any home that has a mixture of surfaces, especially if you have a pet (it got a top score in picking up fur). It does a solid job cleaning carpets and an excellent job on bare floors. The lift-away feature that allows it to be used like a canister is another bonus.

    The Shark Vertex DuoClean AZ2002 picks up pet hair especially well, has exceptional suction power, and does a solid job containing small dust particles, which is important if you have allergies. It also has a lift-away canister, which makes cleaning hard-to-reach places easier.

    Canister Vacuums

    The pricey Miele Complete C3 Marin Vacuum Cleaner is currently the highest-rated canister vacuum in our ratings. It is stellar at suctioning debris from bare floors and picking up pet hair, and it’s also quiet compared to the other canisters. The vacuum excels at capturing all the dust it picks up, which can help if you have allergies or other respiratory issues. It’s a little over $60 more than it was for Cyber Monday, but Miele vacuums go on sale so infrequently, it still might be worth the splurge.

    The bagged Kenmore Pop-N-Go BC4026 outperformed many of the other canisters in our ratings at vacuuming carpets and picking up pet hair. This vacuum comes with a small motorized brush for pet hair and stairs. It also has manual height adjustment, which we’ve found is better than automatic systems at matching the brush to the surface and facilitates more thorough cleaning.

    The lightweight Miele Blizzard CX1 Cat & Dog Vacuum Cleaner surpassed many of the other canisters in our ratings in its ability to pick up pet hair. It’s amazing at cleaning bare floors, but its performance on carpets is only so-so. It’s currently selling at the lowest price we’ve seen all year. 

    Carpet Cleaners

    The Bissell ProHeat 2x Revolution Pet Pro Plus 3588F does a solid job at cleaning up stains and doesn’t leave behind much solution after a cleaning. It earned a very good rating in our convenience evaluation and has two separate tanks for clean and dirty water.

    If you don’t mind the fact that the Bissell TurboClean PowerBrush 2987 Carpet Cleaner is noisy, this model is great at cleaning and will keep your carpets dry. It earned a very good score for convenience and has separate tanks for clean and dirty water. Use the online coupon to get the discount at JC Penney.

    The Hoover SmartWash+ Automatic FH52000 is convenient to handle and outstanding at removing cleaning solutions from carpets and keeping them dry, according to our tests. The model comes with a hose and also has separate tanks for clean and dirty water.

    Steam Mops

    Our testers give the PurSteam 10-in-1 Therma Pro 211 Steam Mop a top score for cleaning and a solid score for steam production. It slips a bit on convenience; its cord is just 16 feet long, and it lacks a ready indicator light. But it’s light (just 6 pounds when filled) and among the less expensive models in our ratings.
