Whether you’re in the market for an upright vacuum cleaner to keep your living room tidy or a cordless handheld vacuum to maintain your car’s pristine condition, October Prime Day offers great deals to choose from. You can save $344 on this cordless Dyson vacuum cleaner, which we named our favorite Dyson Vacuum for Large Spaces. With its enormous dustbin and running time that’s twice as long as average, we found it to be the perfect tool for cleaning the entire home. It transitioned seamlessly between different floor types in our testing, and its laser technology helped identify and remove hard-to-see dust particles. If you’re looking to target pet hair specifically, the Shark CZ351 Pet Canister Vacuum is 60 percent off right now. It reigned as the “Best Canister Vacuum for Hardwood Floors” in our testing,  effortlessly removing kibble and pet hair from wood floors and upholstery. We appreciated that its lightweight design was easy to maneuver around the house, almost as if it was “following up” as we cleaned. 

If you’re in search of a space-saving car vacuum, check out our pick for the “Best Compact Car Vacuum,” which is now discounted by 17 percent. Despite its lightweight design and foldable structure, the Black+Decker 20V Max Handheld Vacuum’s strong suction was capable of cleaning the whole car on just one charge in our testing.

Robot vacuums have become a household staple, praised for their ability to reach tight corners and operate autonomously. However, while useful, they do tend to be pricey. We recommend taking advantage of Fall Prime Day’s killer early deals from brands like Roomba, Shark, and Ecovacs.

Our top pick for “Best Self-Emptying Robot Vacuum Mop Combo” is currently 31 percent off, marked down by $220 from its usual price. The two-in-one device from Shark amazed us with its intuitive control via smartphone app and the ease of switching between vacuum and mop modes. Plus, we found that it can even remove the toughest grout stains. If you’re busy and don’t have the energy to clean, you can save $351 on the Ecovacs Deebot N8 Pro+ Robot Vacuum and Mop Cleaner, our proclaimed best mop-vacuum combo. The advanced robot vacuum ensures a hands-off cleaning experience, as you can even schedule it to operate while you’re not home. Its front sensor allows it to detect incoming objects and work around furniture seamlessly, and it automatically returns to its docking station to release dust and dirt after use.

For those seeking a versatile robot vacuum to cover all areas of the house, the iRobot Roomba j7 will get the job done, and it’s currently 35 percent off. The roomba easily switched between carpeting and hardwood flooring, effectively navigating rug edges for a smooth transition. We also appreciated its intuitive one-button start and stop controls, along with the smart phone app, which allows you to operate it with more advanced features.

Some of our favorite mops, steam cleaners, and clothing steamers are discounted at Amazon right now, and our pick for “Best Spin Mop for Kitchens” is 40 percent off. We found the oShang Spin Mop  to be portable and easy to use, and we appreciated how well its absorbent, microfiber head was able to reach every nook and cranny in our testing. If you’re looking for more intensity than a standard mop, the Pure Enrichment PureClean Steam Cleaner is currently on sale for $112. When we tested this versatile steam cleaner, we were impressed by its 17 attachments, which can target glass, hard floors, and upholstery. Its 16-foot power cord also sets it apart from other models, making it one of the best steam cleaners we tested.

And while having an efficient steam cleaner is important, finding the right clothing steamer is equally crucial, and our “Best Portable Steamer” is 35 percent off right now. We found the Hilife Steamer for Clothes to be easy to assemble and disassemble, making it ideal for steaming clothes while traveling. Its water tank has a greater capacity than similar models, and its 9-foot cord allows you to steam your clothes without being tethered to an outlet.

If you’re accustomed to, and tired of, dealing with pet dander all over the house, our top pick for “Best Air Purifier for Pet Hair” is currently 36 percent off. During our testing, the Winix 5500-2 Air Purifier’s impressive four-stage filtration system proved to be effective, with its fine mesh pre-filter full of pet hair after just 30 minutes. The advanced purifier also includes a variety of high-tech features, including a remote control and an LED air quality indicator. With a $90 markdown, we think it’s definitely a worthwhile Fall Prime Day purchase.

If you’re in need of a dehumidifier to remove moisture and steam, check out the Pure Enrichment PureDry Deluxe Dehumidifier, our favorite dehumidifier for bathrooms, which is currently on sale for just $80. It was the smallest of the 17 dehumidifiers we tested, and it was able to not only remove humidity in the room, but also from the entire floor of the house. The Eva-Dry EDV-1100 16 OZ Dehumidifier also performed well in our testing, and is currently discounted by 33 percent. We found it to be compact, user-friendly, and silent, making it perfect for smaller bedrooms.
