The best Presidents’ Day vacuum sales — from robotic helpers to carpet stain-busters

The Shark Navigator is a customer and Yahoo reader favorite for its lightweight frame, powerful suction and smooth swivel steering. The upper portion lifts away, so it’s essentially a handheld and upright vacuum in one, while an anti-allergen seal and HEPA filter work to trap smaller debris and allergens. Right now, this version is over 50% off, bringing the price down to $119 and making it one of the most enticing vacuum deals we’ve seen.

For a hardworking upright vacuum on a budget, Eureka’s Airspeed is the one to beat, boasting a quick-release handle, sizable dirt cup and washable filter in a compact, lightweight frame. Last time we checked, it had over 5,000 five-star reviews and was on sale for only $44 (similar to what we saw on Black Friday, which was a record low). Last sale go-round, this deal didn’t last long, so if you’re looking for something no-fuss — especially for a smaller space — I’d check it out stat.

Looking to combat pet dander? Look no further than this standout swivel from Hoover — now only $125 with what appears to be among Amazon’s deepest discounts to date. Highlights include easy, lightweight steering, an extra-large dirt cup, HEPA filtration and a range of multi-purpose pet tools that help tackle fur and other dander. According to the brand, a special ‘MaxLife’ system also works to deliver greater suction for longer than typical vacuums.

If you like the convenience of retractable cords, you’ll appreciate this top-rated vacuum from Bissell — now just over $100 — which features automatic cord rewind, along with a generous extension wand (it reaches up to 10 feet), an extra-large, removable dirt bin and powerful suction for getting the job done efficiently and quickly. Bissell’s Compact CleanView, also on sale, is another top pick for smaller spaces.

The Tineco iFloor 3 Wet/Dry vacuum is beloved by over 21,000 five-star reviewers (it’s also TikTok famous) for its powerful suction and flexibility. It swivels for maneuvering around corners and furniture, and, when washing floors, manages to get all the gunk while leaving surfaces smooth and streak-free. A dual tank ensures you’re always using fresh water to effectively tackle — and not just redistribute — harmful bacteria and debris, and a cordless design means you can zip around the house without having to continuously plug in.

Dyson has become synonymous with the cordless stick vacuum, and the brand’s lightweight, bagless V8 — engineered for use on carpets and hardwood floors and boasting 40 minutes of runtime — has remained one of its top models. Scoop it up for over $100 off as part of Dyson’s current sale, and be sure to check out the souped-up Dyson V11 with 60% more power and 60 minutes of runtime, which is also on sale.

For a budget-friendly stick vac, consider this steal of a deal from Inse, featuring up to 45 minutes of cordless runtime, a built-in LED display and a generous range of attachments. Like several of the vacuums on this list, it can be used as a cordless handheld — great for hard-to-reach areas, as well as getting dirt trapped under car seats — and at 50% off, the price is a dream.

Shark’s Rocket Pro has over 12,000 glowing Amazon reviews (it’s also another Yahoo reader favorite) for its ability to pack a lot of power into one lightweight frame. Like the Navigator, the top portion converts to a handheld for easily vacuuming furniture and getting into crevices. You can also use it on both hardwood and carpeted floors; nab it for 36% off during this limited-time deal.

When it comes to stick-style mops, Amazon customers and Yahoo readers can’t get enough of this durable and super straightforward set from Joymoop, featuring an extendable mop and dual-wringer system for getting into your cleaning groove (sans excess water slop or residue). “Most convenient mop ever!” wrote one of its 14,000+ fans. The Joymoop is also one of my personal cleaning go-tos — see here for my full review.

Set your cleaning on autopilot with this top-rated robot vac from iRobot, endorsed by over 14,000 Amazon reviewers. Its powerful suction lifts dirt, dust and debris from carpets and hard floors while an edge-sweeping brush takes care of corners and advanced sensors keep it from falling down the stairs. The best part? You can handle it all with the ease of an app or voice control. Save over $75 while supplies and promotions last.

The Shark Ion is another smooth operator in the robo-vac space, boasting three brush types, intelligent sensors, 120 minutes of runtime and — you guessed it — convenient voice control. More than 10,000 Amazon reviewers give it their seal of approval, and it’s on sale for over $50 off. Check out Shark’s Matrix, also on sale, for a self-emptying option.

Also filed under budget-friendly, highly vetted picks: This remote-control robot vac from Eufy, backed by over 8,000 Amazon customers for its smart engineering, ultra-slim profile and powerful suction on both hardwood and carpet floors. Customers love the quiet motor — you can run it when your favorite show is on — and it’s 44% off, among the lower prices we see throughout the year, making it the perfect time to buy.

Lefant is making what was once considered a luxury more accessible by offering sleek, innovative robo vacuums at a fraction of the typical cost. This model in particular — an Amazon customer and Yahoo reader favorite — offers six cleaning modes and 120 minutes of runtime, complete with app and voice controls. And at 66% off, this is the lowest price we’ve seen, so we suggest acting fast.

This multi-tasking robot from ZCWA, an impressive 78% off, serves as a vacuum and mop in one, complete with scheduling and both app- and voice-control for making the most of your clean. Use it on carpets and hardwood floors (the brand also recommends it for combatting pet hair) and leave it to charge itself when you’re done.

This lean, mean cleaning machine from Bissell — only $89 at Walmart, among the lowest prices we’ve seen — is one of our editor go-tos for tackling stains and keeping carpets and upholstery in great condition. It’s portable, effective and incredibly easy to use (read my review). The Bissell Little Green ProHeat Portable Deep Cleaner, also on sale, is another good option for when you want to turn up the heat.

When it comes to tougher and especially goopier stains, it can help to add a little steam. I recently had the opportunity to witness this portable cleaner in action, and it lifted away not only dirt but liquid substances including chocolate syrup and honey. For an upright option, check out the discounted CrossWave HydroSteam.

On the hunt for a new dustbuster? This cordless handheld from Black & Decker — now 12% off — has remained a top choice among Yahoo readers and Amazon customers for its wide mouth, bagless bowl and handy crevice tools. It’s a “little dynamo,” according to one reviewer. “This dustbuster does the job. It might be small and lightweight, but it has great suction power and it’s easy to clean the filter and click it back in place. I highly recommend it!”

This compact VacLife is about as lightweight and portable as a vacuum gets, complete with a HEPA filter for better air and filter quality. There’s also an LED light that helps you navigate dimmer areas, such as underneath lower tables and seats, plus a dust-cup button that makes cleanups a breeze.
