The best corded vacuum deals in the Prime Day sales – save money without compromising on cleaning performance

With $100 off MSRP, the PowerDetect Ultralight is down to its lowest-ever price. The PowerDetect line is Shark's newest vacuum range, and this is the corded stick option boasts innovations like a floorhead that's especially good at dealing with chunky spillages, and sensors that enable the vacuum to auto-adjust brushroll speed depending on whether it's on a carpet or hard floor.

The Shark HV322 Rocket Deluxe regularly attracts discounts, but they aren't usually as big as this one. I haven't used this specific model, but it looks like a good, basic option. It can be converted into a handheld vacuum for cleaning up high, and the handheld part clips to the floorhead for convenient, freestanding storage, too. At under $130, it's extremely wallet-friendly.

This canister vacuum has 25% off for Prime Day, taking it down to the lowest price I have on record. Miele is a huge name in vacuums, and has a reputation for making high-quality, top-performing machines. The M1 is designed for homes with mostly hard floors and low-pile carpet, and comes with a Parquet brush for hardwood flooring. Dust is captured in a bag, which means no messy emptying.

There's £30 off this corded Shark vacuum for Prime Day, which doesn't sound like a lot, but when it's this cheap to start with, it's still a very decent discount. This model features Shark's older-style DuoClean floorhead, which includes a soft roller to clean and buff hard floors and a bristled roller to agitate carpet fibers and release dust trapped there. It has a wand that can be released to bend forward, for easier cleaning under furniture. If you're a cat or dog owner, you might prefer this version with a mini, motorized pet hair tool (also discounted).

With £150 off, the Shark PowerDetect just dropped to a new, cheapest-ever price as part of the Amazon Big Deal days event. In our Shark PowerDetect Upright review, we were impressed with this vacuum's cleaning power and its useful automation features – it can amp up suction based on floor type and dirt levels, as well as when it approaches the edge of a room. The floorhead is specially designed to be able to suck up chunky debris when pulled backwards.

Head to Currys' rival Prime Day sale and you'll find the Boost CX1 with a very decent £70 discount. Miele is a very highly regarded vacuum brand, especially when it comes to cylinder vacs like this one. The design includes a telescopic wand that can be extended to the most comfortable length, and – unusually for this kind of vacuum – it's bagless, so you won't need to remember to replace your bags. There are three power settings and three attachments for different cleaning tasks.
