If you're hunting for a vacuum cleaner deal in the early Black Friday sales, you're in luck – there's an outstanding price-drop on one of my top-rated models: the Shark PowerDetect Cordless Clean&Empty is $399.99 (was $599.99) at Amazon US, and £314 (was £549.99) at Amazon UK. That matches the cheapest price on record in the US, and is a new record low in the UK.

UK dealShark PowerDetect Cordless Clean & Empty: was £549.99 now £314 at AmazonThe PowerDetect with auto-empty base has had a massive 43% price-cut at Amazon, knocking over £230 off sticker price. That's a new lowest-ever price on this model.
View DealThere are a few reasons why I think the PowerDetect Cordless is such a great vacuum cleaner. Of course, it packs a punch when it comes to suction, which is an important starting point. But the floorhead is optimized for different floor types, too. For carpet, there are rubbery fins that do a great job of agitating thick fibers to release dust and hair. There's also a flap that lifts when the vacuum is pulled back over chunky debris, so it can suck it up rather than causing it to pool behind the floorhead – this feature really comes into its own on hard floor.
The extras also shine. The auto-empty base included in both these deals is a big effort-saver and mess-minimizer (hooray for not having to excavate wedges of dog hair from a small vacuum bin every 30 minutes), and I found the mini motorized head did an outstanding job of shifting pet hair from a velvet cushion. For the full low-down, head to TechRadar's Shark PowerDetect Cordless review.
However, be aware that all that cleaning clout comes with a bit of a weight penalty – this vacuum is rather heavy and chunky. If that's a deal-breaker, my guide to the best vacuums has plenty of alternative recommendations.
