UPDATE: Nov. 2, 2023, 3:00 a.m. EDT This post has been updated with the best early Black Friday vacuum deals including self-emptying robot vacuums, hybrid robot vacuums, and cordless vacuums from Dyson, Shark, Eufy, and more.
An overview of the early Black Friday vacuum deals
Vacuums are inarguably one of the four horsemen of the apocalypse Black Friday. But while Black Friday is one of the best times of year to buy a vacuum, you don’t have to wait until the few days preceding Black Friday to find a good deal on a vacuum. That’s because retailers like Walmart, Best Buy, and Target remind us every year that Black Friday season is actually just the entire month of November (or earlier).

Whether you’ve been drooling over a Dyson all year or are looking to offset the act of vacuuming completely by opting for a robot vacuum, there’s probably an early Black Friday deal for that. We’re tracking them all below by category: shop self-emptying robot vacuums, hybrid robot vacuums, and cordless vacuums, in order of least to most expensive under each umbrella.

Shark released several iterations of its flagship robot vacuum in 2023. This chic black and silver RV2310AE model is on sale at Amazon for less than $300 — a 40% price cut and a record-low price (according to camelcamelcamel) by far. Home mapping and virtual boundaries guided by 360-degree LiDAR are present here, plus Shark’s newest claim to fame: its Matrix cleaning technique that vacuums in a crosshatch pattern to grab any debris missed from the first angle.

Why we like it
The V15 Detect is the beastlier version of our favorite Dyson value vacuum, the V12 Detect Slim. “Detect” in the name signifies the cleaning head with Dyson’s iconic green laser that points out dust you wouldn’t have been able to see otherwise, which is then sent through a full HEPA filtration system. Compared to the V12, the V15 Detect has a heavier body with a larger dustbin and 240 Air Watts of suction power versus the V12’s 150.
The sub-$600 sale price on the V15 Detect looks like even more of a steal alongside the $949.99 price tag on Dyson’s newest drop, the V15s Detect Submarine. Just released in September, the Submarine is Dyson’s very first all-in-one cordless vacuum and mop — but basically, it’s the V15 Detect on sale here with the option to swap in a wet roller head. If you’re feeling solid about your Swiffer right now, opting for the non-mop V15 Detect saves you about $400.
