Shark NV752 Rotator Powered Lift-Away TruePet Upright Vacuum: $319.99 $168.99 at Amazon
This Shark vacuum has an unmissable price right now. A hugely popular model, this upright vacuum easily turns into a handheld cleaner so you can reach every area in your home. Fitted with a HEPA filter and a large dust bin, it provides a thorough clean.  

If you’re looking for a robot vacuum cleaner, many models now come with the ability to be programmed for software updates so that they don’t date quite as quickly, so opting for a slightly older model isn’t a bad idea. 

Aside from that, choosing a vacuum can come down to personal preference. Vacuum cleaners have come such a long way in recent years that chunky and heavy upright vacuums with clumsy floor heads are a thing of the past. 

Even models that are three or four years old have brilliant steering, easy-to-empty dust cups, and for cordless models, long battery run times. If you’re loyal to a certain vacuum brand, it’s well worth looking at previous models as it’s likely you’ll see impressive discounts this Prime Day.
