The best budget option for Dyson vacuums is the Dyson V8 because it has the same features and battery life as newer Dyson vacuums. It runs for up to 40 minutes on a charge, it has the same convenient, modular design as other Dyson stick vacuums, and it converts into a hand vacuum to fit into awkward crevices.
Best Buy is sold out.

This reached $116 this Cyber Week, so we're hoping to see it go down again. If it does, this grooming kit has a vacuum-like tool that you can run over your pet with if you want to get rid of all the hair that gets on everything. You can use it to clean your couch.

While we prefer Dyson's stick vacuum cleaners, they are far from cheap, and this Tineco is a decent option at the discounted price. It can go for 40 minutes between charges and has three power modes.

We've tried many robot vacuums from Roborock, and many are on sale with this one. We think the S4 is a good value for money. It works better than some of the other affordable robot vacuums we've tried because it's wi-fi-enabled. It has a battery and a bigger dust bin.

The pet-poop detecting model came out last year. If you picked up a pet, we said it was the best robot vacuum.

The i7+ is an all-around more powerful vacuum, but I found that the Roomba i3+ needed more navigation help. The i3+ was the top pick in our robot vacuum guide.
I have found that iRobot's self-emptying bins are the most reliable. This is a good price for an older robot vacuum with iRobot's rubber carpet roller.

The 600 series is still good, and we liked the It doesn't have the bells and whistles of a more recent robot vacs with adaptive navigation, but it can avoid most obstacles and respond to voice commands.

The E5 is no longer sold directly by iRobot, but it is still an older model that uses random ping-ponging. iRobot's easy-to- clean rubber brushes and Dirt Detect can be used to find trouble spots on your floors.
