19 of Our Favorite Vacuums Are on Sale for October Prime Day
In this article
October Prime Day is here, and we’re updating this story hourly. To find the best deals in every category, follow all of our October Prime Day coverage.
Amazon Prime Day is always a good time to buy a vacuum. We’ve reviewed a lot of them here on the Strategist, from features-packed cordless models to a beloved buy-it-for-life German canister vac to the robot vacuums that keep the floors pristine in our tech writer’s five-dog, three-human household. Many of our favorite models go on sale for Prime Day, and the deals are good — they include some of the lowest price we’ve ever seen on some of our best-in-class models.
October Prime Day runs through 2:59 a.m. ET tonight. I’ll be checking throughout the day to add new intel discovered by the Strategist’s team of intrepid deal-hunters and to make sure all prices are up to date and products are still in stock, and if you see something you like, act fast — although the sale ends in the wee hours of the morning tomorrow, the most popular deals often sell out before then.Check out our Prime Day hub for more deals (if you’re already holiday shopping, we’ve got a list the items that would make great gifts).
