The best vacuum cleaner deals to shop before the Amazon Prime Day sale ends
If you're on the hunt for a Shark vacuum, you'll want to check out this saving on the brand's anti-hair-wrap cordless vacuum (was £399.99, now £228.99, Amazon.co.uk). But there are plenty of other offers on top-rated brands
As ever, the rest of IndyBest's team of shopping experts and I will be on hand throughout the sale, rounding up the best offers worth shopping. Keep scrolling for the top vacuum offers to snap up now.
IndyBest's team of shopping experts have been covering Amazon Prime Day and other online sales for years. As well as tracking prices and knowing how to spot a good deal from a bad one, we spend the year researching and testing the best vacuum cleaners to bring you recommendations we think you'll love. As ever, within our Amazon Prime Day sale guides, we only ever recommend tried-and-tested products and those from brands we trust.
The IndyBest team have reviewed countless Shark vacuums over the years, and they almost always make it into our guides to the best vacuums. For Prime Day, you can save an impressive £170 on this cordless stick model. With 60 minutes of run time, Shark's signature anti-hair wrap technology and four attachments (from a crevice tool to a pet tool), it's an excellent choice for homes with four-legged friends.
This advanced model is the most powerful vacuum in Dyson's V8 range, so it should be able to suck up even the finest bits of dirt and dust. IndyBest reviewer Siobhan Grogan tested the similar V8 absolute, and was impressed by its quiet yet strong suction, so we'd expect much of the same from this advanced model. Right now, there's more than 30 per cent off the price but this deal won't last forever, as the Prime Day sale ends tonight.
This 25 per cent saving on Shark's handheld pet vacuum isn't Prime exclusive, so you can hoover it up regardless of whether you have a membership. When we reviewed it, our tester recommended the classic CH950UK for small clean-ups, rather than the whole house or car cleaning. Nonetheless, it 'sucked up all the dust in a room in minutes', they praised, and picked up an 'alarming amount of hair from [their] deep-pile carpets', too.
Topping our list of the best robot vacuum cleaners, the Eufy X10 Pro Omni is a truly hands-off device. It vacuums, mops, empties its own dustbin, refills its own water tank, avoids obstacles and even washes and dries its own mopping pads. Tech critic Steve Hogarty was impressed by its cleaning abilities. 'The mopping function is excellent. It doesn't just drag a damp mop pad around, it actually scrubs the floors, helping get rid of dried coffee stains.'
The best car vacuum cleaner has nearly 40 per cent off at Amazon. 'While it's larger than a typical handheld, its flexible wand and motorised pet tool make it much easier to manoeuvre inside a car than you might expect', our tester noted. They found it 'easily tackled a boot full of golden retriever hair' and 'made light work of gritty footwells'.
Now reduced by nearly £250, Eufy's X8 pro robot vacuum cleaner takes the hassle out of cleaning your home. 'There's no doubt Eufy's X8 has made my cleaning chores much simpler,' said our tester, Sarah. 'It's one less job I need to do and, as a busy parent, it has become a huge asset in the daily battle against dirt and debris.' With app connectivity, a quiet but powerful design, and expert sensors that swerve obstacles, this is a good vacuum at a great price.
Shark's clean & empty cordless vacuum cleaner was awarded the top spot in our tests of the best Shark vacuum cleaners. Our tester Zoe Griffin praised the cleaner's power, writing 'for a cordless vacuum cleaner, the suction on this is truly impressive – it easily tackled pet hair, dirt and debris on hard floors and carpets for up to 60 minutes.' Right now, it has an impressive 47 per cent off.
Dubbed the best for flexibility in our guide to car vacuums, this cordless Henry model has been reduced by 20 per cent. Though it hasn't been designed specifically for car use, the quick pro was found to be ideal for reaching under seats and into footwells. 'What makes it extra appealing is the pod system, which traps dust inside for a mess-free, allergen-safe empty,' said our reviewer. 'If your car interior gets as much traffic as your home, this one's a worthy multitasker.'
A very similar vacuum cleaner to this one landed the top spot in our review of the best handheld vacuum cleaners, where our IndyBest tester praised it for being 'absolutely merciless on pet hair'. It's lightweight at only 1.5kg, bagless for easy emptying, and runs for 20 minutes on full charge. Plus, it has an LED spotlight to highlight hidden dirt in dark corners and crevices. Its price fluctuates between around £170 and £110, but this is a good deal that gets you 21 per cent off this Prime Day.
In our review of the best cordless vacuum cleaners, Vax's homepro detect pet design was praised for how easy it was to use – and now it's been slashed in price by an impressive 46 per cent at Amazon, which is the cheapest I've seen it. The gadget features 'a large, comfortable handle, labelled attachments and large chunky buttons', our tester noted, adding that its performance was excellent. 'The vacuum has LED lights to reveal hard-to-see dirt', they said, while the flexi-wand was 'fantastic for cleaning under furniture'.
The Eufy omni C20 robovac is down to its lowest ever price, with almost 40 per cent off during the Prime Day sale. Eufy is one of our favourite robot vacuum brands, with the X10 pro omni earning the top spot in tech writer Steve Hogarty 's round-up. This model has slightly less suction power but still has most of the features we've come to expect of robot vacuums, including a self-emptying station and mop pads that automatically clean and dry themselves in the base.
This landed a spot in our guide to the best handheld vacuum, excelling at cleaning up pet hair, thanks to its serious power. Our tester noted that 'it tackled dirt, gravel and pet hair without breaking a sweat'. The 'mini motorised tool was a particular highlight. It's small enough to get into awkward spots but strong enough to lift embedded fluff from fabric,' they added. The nifty tool now has 20 per cent shaved off the price.
For quick and easy clean-ups, consider investing in Shark's wandvac, which is now at one of its lowest ever prices with this Amazon Prime Day deal. In our review of the handheld vacuum, our tester praised its lightweight and compact design, which makes it easy to clean high or in hard-to-reach areas. And if you bag it in the sale, you'll save just shy of £50.
Our IndyBest reviewer Zoe Griffin said this was the best corded model for cleaning upholstery. She found that it took seconds to convert it into a handheld vacuum cleaner, too. 'Having only used battery-operated handhelds in the car before, it was a real eye-opener to witness the power of this corded Vax on our mucky car seats,' she wrote. With this deal, you can get it for almost 25 per cent off.
This Amazon basics vacuum is a bargain at full price, so any discount is an added bonus. The cost has been dropped by 16 per cent for Prime Day, although its recent discount history suggests it could fall as low as £19.40 this week if you keep an eye on it. Our writer Zoe crowned it as the best budget buy in our corded vacuum round-up, finding it 'provides a decent amount of power for the price'. It's small, but this makes it a great fit for 'those fiddly and annoying messes that happen daily when you have children or pets'.

Thyssenkrupp steel, workers agree on site closures, less working hours in revamp
FRANKFURT, July 12 (Reuters) - Thyssenkrupp ( opens new tab and trade union IG Metall on Saturday said they had agreed on reduced working hours, lower bonus payments and site closures as part of a push to revamp Germany's largest steelmaker. The accord with steel workers marks a major step in Thyssenkrupp's restructuring, under which the former German industrial icon is planning to turn into a holding company, and comes after renewed tension between management and labour representatives. Implementation of the new collective bargaining agreement, which runs until September 30, 2030, must be approved by IG Metall members at Thyssenkrupp's steel unit TKSE and is pending an agreement on the division's future financing, they said. The agreement follows Thyssenkrupp's announcement that up to 11,000 jobs at the steel unit, TKSE, had to be cut or outsourced and that annual production capacity would be lowered to 8.7-9.0 million tons from 11.5 million tons. "We went to the pain threshold and only made concessions where it was really necessary in order to secure jobs and locations," said Tekin Nasikkol, head of Thyssenkrupp's works council and member of the group's supervisory board. "We have now created the conditions for the company to emerge from the difficult situation out of its own strength," Nasikkol said in a statement. Thyssenkrupp had wanted to reach a deal regarding the restructuring by summer and both sides aim to finalise the current agreement by the end of September. Reaching a wage deal has been seen as a key hurdle to be cleared before Thyssenkrupp can sell an additional 30% stake in TKSE to Czech billionaire Daniel Kretinsky, as planned. The investor already owns a 20% stake via a holding company.

Revealed: The precious funds Man United are making from sell-on fees involving former players this summer
Manchester United are making millions in sell-on fees from former players moving clubs this summer. The Red Devils are looking to bolster their own squad after a dismal season last campaign that saw them finish 15th in the Premier League under new head coach Ruben Amorim. Their season could have been somewhat saved had they won the Europa League, but they lost the final 1-0 against Premier League rivals Tottenham and pressure is now on Amorim to perform. After branding his United team the 'worst' in the club's history last season, Amorim has been desperate to improve the personnel at his side, with United officials so far backing him in the transfer market. Matheus Cunha has been the headline arrival at £62.5million from Wolves, while Diego Leon also signed for £7m from Paraguayan side Cerro Porteno. The pursuit for Bryan Mbeumo, though, is still on, with the Red Devils yet to meet Brentford 's valuation of £65m. But Amorim's side have been receiving boosts elsewhere in the market because of former players swapping sides - with Anthony Elanga 's £55m move to Newcastle showcasing just that. According to James Ducker of The Telegraph, Elanga's move to the north east has seen United pocket £6m because of a clause inserted in a former deal. Winger Elanga left Old Trafford for Nottingham Forest in 2023 after struggling for game time at Old Trafford, but quickly became an established Premier League star and a sought-after man. He had spent eight years at United after joining their academy in 2015, making 55 appearances for the first team before departing. The now-23-year-old joined Forest for £15m, but with a reported sell-on clause that would see United bank 15 per cent of profit on any deal. Given he moved for £55m, United are said to have picked up around £6m of the fee. That's also the case surrounding former United left back Alvaro Carreras, who is on the verge of leaving Benfica to join Real Madrid for around £43m. Carreras, 22, spent four years at United having initially joined their youth set-up from Madrid, but failed to make a first-team appearance having enjoyed time on loan at Preston, Granada and Benfica. Last summer, he moved to Portugal permanently for around £7m, which means Benfica will pocket around £36m of profit. 20 per cent of that - £7.2m - will go to United. The money made by the Red Devils could well be added to their transfer kitty this summer as they look to continue to rebuild their squad ahead of a big year for Amorim. They will be hoping to raise more money in sales too, with Juventus reportedly making Marcus Rashford their top target this summer. United have their own bomb squad, with five players told to look for new sides. They are Rashford, Alejandro Garnacho, Tyrell Malacia, Antony and Jadon Sancho. The summer was made harder due to a lack of European competition next season, but the club are understood to be keen to continue adding to their ranks.

Why does Bradford have so many empty shops?
It may be Bradford's City of Culture year but, according to a report from the Centre for Cities, the city has more empty shops than nearly every city in the UK, and double those in London and think tank report claims Newport, Bradford and Blackpool have the highest retail vacancy rate, while London, Cambridge and Oxford have the why is the city so empty, what is being done about it and is UK City of Culture 2025 the boost Bradford needs? John Varey and his family have been running Blossoms Florist from a unit in Market Street for nine months."It started off as a florist but we're evolving to fit in with the Bradford community," he says."We're also opening up in Darley Street Market. We're opening a plant emporium up there [and] this shop here is going to be turned into a flower cafe. We're evolving." He suggests the city's empty shop problem could be minimised if the council took more of a role in deciding which businesses were based in which units."If all these businesses were owned by Bradford Council it wouldn't end up like this," he says."Because they're privately owned and the guys who own the businesses just want to fill them, they don't care what gets in them. If we had control of what goes in here and the council could sign it off, you stand a better chance."But he adds the City of Culture year has been a boost, and he hopes the city can build on the says: "Ever since the City of Culture signs have gone up, we're getting quite a lot of tourists coming in here and we're changing things into gifts for tourism promoting Bradford."Bradford Council has done an excellent job. What they're doing now is not for today as such. Rome wasn't built in a day. Bradford wasn't built in a day. But it's evolving."This year is a good standard now to build on." Jonny Noble, chief executive of Bradford BID, says the news that Bradford has a lot of empty shops is not exactly new for those who know the city."I've lived in Bradford all my life and it has been recognised for some time to be honest," he says."We've got a lot of not fit-for-purpose retail. In the 1980s and 1990s, obviously Bradford was much more vibrant, shall we say, than it might be classed as now, or the retail scene, generally, in the UK was."Independent retail expert Catherine Shuttleworth agrees."The landlords of Bradford have got to get real and rethink the space, invest in it, and the council have got to work with the landlords to make it somewhere attractive for people to come and open shops," she says."Fundamentally, for a modern retailer, you need easy access. "You need air-conditioned shops, you need buildings you can get in and out of, and you need footfall."The report backs their claims, advising one of the reasons Bradford has a high rate of vacant units is too much Thursday morning in the Kirkgate Centre - which is earmarked for demolition but is yet to have an exact date - there are empty units in the Broadway shopping centre, though busier, there are a considerable number of empty shops.A number of retailers, who did not want to speak on the record, say this is because the Broadway rents are too high and the closure of the Kirkgate Centre is affecting the businesses in that area of the city. Mr Noble says BID does its own research into vacancy rates, and that number is starting to drop."I don't really like the phrase shrinking the city centre, but it's making it fit for purpose and making sure the right offers are there," he says."We had far too much not fit-for-purpose space that was never going to be brought back into use [as] retail space and, with changing shopping habits, we need an experiential offer where people can touch and feel and smell and see."He says the city needs to shift away from mainstream retailers."Retail used to be everything. You'd look down every street around the country and see all the same signs. Well, that is not happening anymore."One thing I would be really keen to see is more independents - they are the life and soul of a city centre."Si Cunningham, chairperson of Bradford Civic Society, says the drop in retail is to do with online shopping."There's an issue with wider national and international trends and retailers are not needing as many branches anymore, so they are consolidating the bricks and mortar branches into bigger regional centres."We do risk cities like Bradford, that are not regional centres, losing out because of that, but that probably highlights why it's important for Bradford to have a really strong independent offer." Does Leeds take all the shoppers? Ms Shuttleworth believes part of Bradford's problem is its close proximity to Leeds and out-of-town retail hubs."We've seen some really high-profile names pull out of Bradford, particularly Marks & Spencer. I think the reason for it is the provision of shopping outside of town," she says."Places like Leeds' White Rose Shopping Centre pull a lot of people in from Bradford."These are easy places to go to, easy places to get in and out of. Bradford's really hard to get in and out of. "Leeds has a fantastic retail offer and is super easy to access either by bus or train." Mr Cunningham says the answer is fewer shops, more restaurants and more culture."We need to make sure we're promoting things like food and drink and cultural experiences rather than retail," he says. "If we just follow the retail trends internationally then we're always going to end up with high vacancy rates."Mr Noble says that shift is already under way, with the opening of Darley Street Market and more cultural venues across the city, such as Loading Bay and Bradford Live."We've got a fantastic offer and the place has never looked as good as it currently does," he says."I am absolutely confident that vacancy rates will drop significantly over the next couple of years and get back to where we feel we should be."
