With Amazon Prime Day officially kicking off, many of the best vacuum cleaners are on sale, including many robot vacuums to choose from that will save you a whole lot of money. But before jumping on the robovac bandwagon, here's a tip from someone who's been there: consider a cordless vacuum instead before hitting that buy button.

Many of the best cordless vacuums are also on offer, with some excellent Prime Day deals saving you up to 50%, and they might just be a much better fit for your cleaning needs than a robot vacuum.

Robot vacuums may be rising in popularity, but as someone whose gone through may of them in the last few years, not a single one has made me completely happy. While the best robot vacuums do offer that hands-off cleaning experience, they don't do as good a job, and they have a tendency to either miss spots or take forever to finish cleaning.

This is why I prefer cordless vacuums. They're convenient in that they don't keep you tethered to an outlet, and you don't have to deal with cords that get in the way and are annoying to put away. And while you still have to put in the work (and make time for it), you can cover those hard-to-reach areas that robot vacuums can't get to.

And they're just as heavily discounted as the top robot vacuums, so you're not missing out on those Prime Day deals. 

The Tineco Floor ONE S5, which enjoys a 4 out of 5 rating from us for being easy to use with its helpful voice prompts, is 35% off, dropping from $500 to $324.98. Meanwhile, the highly sought-after Dyson V8 is 20% and now only $300.

If you're looking for budget options, that BLACK+DECKER PowerSeries+ 16V MAX is now $79 at Amazon while the Shark CH964AMZ 2-in-1 Ultracyclone is down to $99.99, offering 33% off.

I've listed some of the best cordless vacuum Prime Day deals below if you want to avoid the robot vacuum route and take matters into your own hands. Literally.
