October Prime Dayis here. To find the best deals in every category, follow all ofour Prime Day coverage.
Amazon Prime Dayis a really good time to buy avacuum. A lot of our favorite models are on sale, and if you’re eyeing a big-ticket item — like a Dyson V15 Detect, described by cleaning consultant Jon Gibbons as the “pinnacle of what a cordless vacuum should be” — they’re cheaper than you’ll find them all year, outside of Black Friday. (Come back on Black Friday — we’ll be watching to see if it’s on sale then, too.) It’s also a great opportunity to buy specialized cleaning tools that might feel like an unnecessary expense full-price but are very worth it on sale, like a stain-busting portable carpet cleaner that’s a Strategist best seller (on sale for $82) orMarie Kondo’s favorite air purifier.
To help navigate a sprawling sales day, I’ve gone through a mammoth spreadsheet of deals to find the best value on the vacuums and cleaning tools we trust, most of which Strategist staffers have tested ourselves and use in our own homes. Today is the second and final day to shop these sales. Most items are still in stock, but if you see something you like, act fast — the best deals often sell out before the sale officially ends at midnight tonight. And for more Amazon Prime Day deals,check out our October Prime Day hub— I especially love senior writer Liza Corsillo’s roundup of thebest October Prime Day toy deals(holiday shopping season has begun!) and fashion writer Ambar Pardilla’s list of the bestclothing deals.
