Missed Prime Day? These are the very best of the remaining vacuum deals

Dyson V15 Detect | was $749.99, now $579.99 at Walmart and Dyson (save $170)

As a home tech pro, and as somebody who tests and reviews vacuum cleaners for a living, the Dyson V15 Detect is the vacuum I'd recommend above all others – and there are lots of reasons why, even without the knowledge that it's currently at its lowest price ever.

Dyson is the big name in the world of vacuum cleaners for good reason. Their engineering tech is at the forefront of the market with cyclone motors and unique features, which is why they can justify such steep price tags.

The Dyson V15 Detect is the flagship vacuum cleaner (aside from the Dyson Gen5detect, but as it costs almost $1,000, I can't comfortably recommend it). It's the vacuum behind Dyson's famous green laser, that reveals hidden dust that the naked eye can't see. It also automatically adapts its suction power depending on how dusty the floor is, or whether you're vacuuming carpets/hard floors, and it counts each individual particle so you know which areas in your home are dirtiest.

It's rated as our best vacuum for pet hair thanks to its unrivalled performance on fur. Our tester Jaclyn found that, when vacuuming her dog's bed, 'it not only revived the faux-sherpa bottom that is an absolute magnet for dirt but brightened the fleece top from a dusty blue back to its original turquoise.'

Dyson V12 Detect Slim | was $649.99, now $429.99 at Walmart and Dyson (save $220)

If the V15 Detect is a bit outside of your price range, the V12 Detect Slim is the smaller, more affordable alternative. It carries all of the same features, like the green laser, dust detection, responsive suction, exceptional pet hair performance, etc. It's just a little smaller, so you'll need to empty the dustbin more often and perhaps charge it more often.

While the V15 Detect is arguably the best we've ever tested, I personally use the V12 Detect Slim in my own home. The affordability is a big factor, but it's also more lightweight, and I really don't mind emptying the dustbin more frequently if it means saving $100-200.

Shark POWERDETECT | was $499.99, now $429.99 at Walmart (save $70)

The Shark POWERDETECT is currently the best upright vacuum we've ever tested. Dust, debris and hair are no match for the vacuum's relentless suction power, regardless of floor type.

On test, the vacuum was able to pick up 'every visible piece of hair (as well as litter near the litter box) from the carpet, filling the dust bin with an amount of hair equal to a second cat.'

The same performance was found when vacuuming other messes, too, as James noted: 'It’s able to suck everything up in its path efficiently and proficiently, no matter the debris. And, it’s equally capable regardless of the surface I used it on.'
