Black Friday is on it’s way. With the sale event landing next week, those looking for some powerful vacuum cleaner deals are in for a treat. Black Friday offers a chance to shop big brands, such as Ninja, Apple, Dyson and more, at a discounted price, and we’ve got all the latest on how to save on your favourite home appliances.
A good vacuum cleaner is about as integral as a home appliance can get. Life is full of little messes (and big ones, for that matter), so, we’re always glad to have one of these handy devices stored away in the cupboard.
As technology advances, however, we not only get better vacuums but steeper price tags, too. This is where Black Friday comes in. It’s the perfect time to update your old model or stock up on must-haves for your home. With discounts on everything from mobile phones and laptops to beauty and jewellery, no matter what you’re looking for, Black Friday is always a great time to grab a bargain.
Why wait to start saving? We’ve found some of the best vacuum deals you can shop ahead of the official Black Friday sale dates.

When will vacuum Black Friday deals start in 2024?
Black Friday runs every year on the Friday following the US’s Thanksgiving holiday. This year, that means you can expect to see vacuum cleaner deals starting to drop on Friday 29 November, with classic home appliance retailers such as Dyson, Shark, Amazon and more expected to set many vacuum deals live on this date. However, some retailers kick off things early, with deals lauching throughout November. Currys and John Lewis are among the retailers to have launched their Black Friday vacuum cleaner deals already.
Long gone are the days when the sale was restricted to a panicked 24 hours, though – now, it lasts all weekend long. Officially, it ends at midnight the following Monday (also known as Cyber Monday), meaning the sale will come to a close on 2 December in 2024.
