I've found hundreds off Dyson, Shark, and Bissel vacuums, but the discounts aren't on Amazon. John Lewis, Currys, and Argos' rival sales offer bigger savings than Amazon. Who'd have thought it?

Amazon have offered some serious savings in their Big Deal Days. I've been covering their air fryer deals, dehumidifier deals, KitchenAid deals, and more. However, there's one place that's piqued my interest in particular: Amazon vacuum deals.

Whilst there are some savings to be had on vacuums over on the site, I couldn't help but notice that some of the best vacuums on the market - including Dyson and Shark models - are much cheaper in the John Lewis sale, Currys, and Argos.

I've brought together the best vacuum deals that are live right now, including £250 off Dyson's V8 Cordless Vacuum. There's something for everyone.

Where can I shop vacuum deals?

There are a few places that I always check for vacuum deals. Some of my go-tos don't have sales on, but others do. Here are the places to shop if you want the deals that'll really clean up.

Dyson V8 Cordless Vacuum: was £400, now £250 at Argos (save £150)

If you want a Dyson and you're not fussed about all the frills (and lazers), this is a brilliant model. It's basic, but it comes with the power and cordless convenience that I know and love Dyson for.

Some people prefer an upright vacuum, especially if you have a big home that's full of children and pets. In all of the tests that I've done, this has come out on top. It has incredible cleaning capabilities. Dyson know how to do dexterous.

This is the Dyson that I have, because it strikes the balance of being new, slim, and slick, without being super expensive. I bought it two years ago (for a similar saving to this) and I haven't looked back.

This is the 3rd best selling vacuum at Argos, because it does everything that you could ask for. It's neat, convenient, and a speedy cleaner. It's rare that cordless vacuums handle pet hair well, but this really does.

FAQs

When is a good time to buy a vacuum?

There's no better time than now to pick up a good vacuum deal. Whilst Amazon Prime's Big Deal Days are live, there are rival sales trying to compete with predicted price drops. Luckily, that's left us with some incredible vacuum deals that are even better than the ones on Amazon. If you miss these, don't worry. Black Friday isn't too far away.

Is Shark or Dyson better?

There's no straight answer for which vacuum is better, because they both cater to very different needs. Shark's models are inexpensive with lots of flexible, useful attachments to reach every crevice. Dyson's models feel like they'll be more durable, reliable, and they're often a lot more simple. I've ended up with a Dyson in my home, but that doesn't stop me from admiring a Shark vacuum when one pops up.

There are plenty of deals available at the moment, but Prime Day ends tonight, so I imagine that lots of other sales will finish up too. If you know you need a new vacuum, you'll want to move quickly. Otherwise, tune back in for Black Friday, when I'll keep you up to date with new deals and discounts.
