Roombas, Dysons, Mieles — They’re All on Sale Here
In this article
Amazon Prime Day, the retailer’s twice-annual two-day sale, tends to have especially good sales in certain categories: electronics, appliances, and — for some reason — tooth-care-related products. It is a really good time to buy a vacuum cleaner with some great deals on our best-in-class picks. In addition to curating a list of very good vacuums, I’ve also combed through a monster document of sales to find the best cleaning and organization deals for Prime Day, cross-referenced with the products and brands our editors swear by — from air purifiers and humidifiers to closet organizers and an ingenious German vacuum squeegee. We’ve also compared today’s sales with price history to make sure you’re getting an actually good deal versus 5 percent off something that’s always on sale. (And if something on your list wasn’t on sale today, turn on email alerts at the price-tracking site Camelcamelcamel to get notified when it drops.)
Everything on this list is still in stock and prices are current as of Wednesday night, and the sale continues until midnight PT or 3 a.m. ET. But if you see something you like, act fast — prices have been swingy, and things often go out of stock before Prime Day ends. (And if you want more great deals, sign up for our newsletter.)
