Vacuuming doesn’t have to suck (metaphorically, that is). We’re excited to see that more than a few reliable cleaners we’ve tested—like Terri’s favorite Shark robot vacuum designed for hardwood floors and the iRobot Roomba 692 that was one of the most purchased products by Clever readers last year—are on sale during the 2022 Prime Day bonanza. If you’re casually in the market for a vacuum, keep scrolling! But if you’re in dire need of a deep clean, we recommend checking out our roundup dedicated to the many Prime Day sales on vacuum cleaners running at Amazon, Target, Dyson, and more retailers as we speak. We can pretty much guarantee that there’s a vacuum for every household on sale somewhere across the internet right now.

When is Amazon Prime Day?
Technically, the two-day sales extravaganza started very early this morning at 12 a.m. PST and will run through 11:59 p.m. PST on Wednesday, July 13. That said, the best early Prime Day deals have been rolling in for the past few days and more will be added through out the next 48 hours. More on that below!
How does Prime Day work?
A Prime membership is required to take advantage of the deals. Luckily, it doesn’t take much to become an Amazon Prime member. They offer a 30-day free trial for newbies, and after that it’s $14.99 per month to take advantage of their blazing fast shipping, Prime Video, and all the other benefits the mega retailer offers. And a note for book on tape nerds, an Audible membership is sold separately.
