A new vacuum or carpet cleaner might not be the most exciting gift you could unwrap, but every home needs one and it's a way bigger bummer to buy one for yourself. If you gift your loved one a reliable carpet cleaner, they'll get value out of it every day. They may even start to like it. These are our favorite picks from iRobot, Roborock, and more.

12 Cyber Monday Deals Our Team Bought
Get a 1-Year Subscription to WIRED for $5 ($25 off)
Subscriptions help fund our work.
We test products year-round and handpicked these deals. Products marked (Sold Out) are sold out or no longer discounted as of publishing. We'll update this guide throughout Black Friday weekend.
Vacuum Deals
Dyson V8 Motorhead for $250 ($130 off)
(Stock is limited and depends on your location)
While newer Dyson vacuums have longer battery life and more high-powered features, the Dyson V8 is the best budget option in our guide to the Best 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.
Dyson Cyclone V10 for $400 ($100 off)
This is an older model of Dyson hand vacuum; still, senior editor Michael Calore noted that it “kicks ass” in his review. This is a decent upgrade if you want a little more suction and a little longer run time.
Neabot P1 Pro Pet Grooming Kit for $145 ($15 off)
We saw this reach $116 this Cyber Week, so we're hoping to see it go down again. If it does, or you've just been eyeing it, this grooming kit has a vacuum-like suction tool that you run over your pet as you would if you were brushing them in order to remove all that excess hair that gets on everything. You can even use it to quickly vacuum your couch.
Tineco A11 Cordless Vacuum Cleaner for $195 ($260 off)
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 has three power modes, converts to handheld, and can go for 40 minutes between charges.
Shark WandVac Handheld Vacuum for $102 ($18 off)
Shark, Walmart ($88 pick up in store)
Sometimes you just need a handheld vacuum for spills and minor tidy-ups. The WandVac is the best handheld vacuum, not because it was the strongest performer (though it sucked up dirt just fine), but because it's affordable, compact, and has a handy base station. On the downside, the attachments feel a bit cheap.
Robot Vac Deals
Read our full Best Robot Vacuums guide to learn more.
Roborock S4 Robot Vacuum for $280 ($150 off)
We've tried almost every robot vacuum from Roborock, and many of them are on sale along with this one. But we think the S4 offers pretty good value for the money, especially at this price. It's Wi-Fi-enabled, and the precision lidar navigation works better than some of the other affordable robot vacuums we've tried. It also has a larger dust bin and battery.
Roborock S6 MaxV for $700 ($50 off)
We also liked this pet-poop-detecting model, which came out last year. We said it was the best robot vacuum if you'd picked up a pandemic pet.
iRobot Roomba i3+ for $400 ($200 off)
Amazon, Best Buy, Bed Bath & Beyond
In my testing, I found that the Roomba i3+ needed a bit more navigation help than the i7+, which is an all-around more powerful vacuum. But, the i3+'s lower price made it the top pick in our robot vacuum guide.
iRobot Roomba i7+ Robot Vacuum for $550 ($200 off)
However, I (Adrienne) have found that iRobot's self-emptying bins are consistently the most reliable. This is a reasonable price for a still effective older robot vacuum with iRobot's proprietary rubber carpet roller.
iRobot Roomba 692 Robot Vacuum for $175 ($125 off)
The midrange 600 series is still quite good, and we liked the 692 (8/10, WIRED Recommends), though it is a couple of years old now. It lacks the bells and whistles of some more recent robot vacs with adaptive navigation, which means it bumps around, but it can avoid most obstacles and responds to voice commands through Alexa or Google Assistant.
iRobot Roomba E5 5150 Robot Vacuum for $200 ($150 off)
(Stock is limited and depends on your location)
iRobot no longer sells the E5 directly, and it's an older model that uses reactive (i.e., random ping-ponging) navigation. However, it still has iRobot's easy-to-clean rubber brushes and Dirt Detect to sniff out trouble spots on your floors.

Eufy Robovac 11S Max Robot Vac for $160 ($90 off)
No one who gets a Eufy has regretted it. This is an older model, but if all you need is a small, reliable robot vacuum to careen around the kitchen table after dinner, it's hard to beat.
Eufy RoboVac G30 Verge for $144 ($205 off)
This is another of Eufy's robot vacuums that's very similar to the recommended Edge model in our guide. It offers boundary strips to mark off no-go areas, full app control, and spot cleaning. You can also control it with Alexa or Google Assistant, and it's quiet.
Ecovacs Deebot T8 AIVI for $500 ($250 off)
Amazon (click the coupon button)
The Ecovacs Deebot T8 AIVI packs as many features into one small robot vacuum as it can. It's a vacuum and a mop, it has a camera and a microphone—it can do everything but cater your wedding. It also has a long run time and high-end navigation features. Just be sure you're comfortable with having a mobile camera wander around your home.
Yeedi K650 Robot Vacuum for $120 ($60 off)
Amazon (Click the Coupon Button), Walmart
Cheap robot vacs like this one from Yeedi use bounce navigation to move around your home, so they're not as efficient, but if it means a cleaner home without you needing to do anything, that's a win, right? The battery lasts a while, and there's Google Assistant and Alexa support.
Yeedi Vac Station for $315 ($185 off)
Amazon (Enter Code SECRETOFF35 for an Extra $35 off)
This is another option from up and comer Yeedi, but this self-emptying robot vacuum is a lot cheaper than a Roomba. It's reasonably powerful and uses visual mapping with an editable home map, but don't expect top performance.
Cleaning Deals
Blueland Clean Up Kit for $23 ($6 off)
Blueland (use code HOLIDAY20 at checkout)
If you want to reduce your single-use plastics (and the shipping costs of water), Blueland's cheap refills are one of our best eco-friendly cleaning products.
35 Percent off Cleancult Sitewide
Cleancult (use code BF35 at checkout)
Cleancult also offers great-smelling, effective refills for reusable plastic bottles.
Supernatural Cleaning Starter Set for $56 ($19 off)
This, however, is our favorite concentrated cleaning kit. It cleans well, and the glass bottles are hefty with silicone bottoms to keep them in place. Plus they smell amazing.
Bissell Little Green Proheat Deep Cleaner for $110 ($24 off)
This incredibly cute little green deep cleaner is a viral hit on TikTok. Product reviewer Brenda Stolyar admits that it hasn't completely transformed her old furniture, but it definitely gets the job done.
