Black Friday Vacuum Cleaners

Cordless vacuum cleaners offer several advantages over traditional corded models:

Increased mobility and freedom of movement - Without a cord, you can easily maneuver the vacuum around furniture and throughout your home.
Convenient for quick cleanups - Cordless vacs are lightweight and ready to use instantly, making them great for spot cleaning.
No cord to get tangled or in the way - Eliminates the hassle of managing a power cord while vacuuming.
Good for multi-level homes - Cordless designs allow you to carry the vacuum up and down stairs without dragging a cord.
Suitable for outdoor use - Cordless vacs can be used to clean vehicles, garages, and other areas without access to power outlets.

The tradeoff is that cordless vacuums have limited runtime on a single battery charge, so they may not be suitable for whole-home deep cleaning sessions.

If you have pets at home, there are several key features to consider in a vacuum cleaner:

Powerful suction - Look for vacuums with high air watts or air flow to effectively pick up pet hair, dander, and ground-in dirt.
Specialized pet tools - Attachments like upholstery tools, crevice tools, and motorized pet brushes make it easier to clean hair from furniture, stairs, and tight spaces.
Washable filters - Permanent or reusable filters that can be rinsed clean are ideal for trapping pet allergens.
Easy-empty dirt cups - Large-capacity, easy-to-empty dirt containers minimize the hassle of frequent emptying.
Durable construction - Vacuums designed to withstand the rigors of pet homes, with scratch-resistant surfaces and sealed joints.

The right pet-focused vacuum will make maintaining a clean, hair-free home much easier.

Wet/dry vacuum cleaners offer versatility that traditional "dry only" models cannot:

Handle liquid spills - The sealed construction and powerful suction allow wet/dry vacs to pick up liquids like spilled drinks or flooded areas.
Clean up messes effectively - In addition to dry debris, they can tackle stuck-on grime, mud, and other wet messes.
Useful for car detailing - Wet/dry vacs are great for cleaning the interior of vehicles, including hard-to-reach areas.
Manage water damage - They can be used to quickly remove standing water after a flood or leakage incident.
Versatile applications - Wet/dry vacs are suitable for workshop cleanup, garage cleaning, and even suctioning up wet leaves or grass.

While they cost a bit more than traditional dry vacuums, the expanded functionality of wet/dry models makes them a worthwhile investment for many households.
