The best 4th of July sales on vacuums: Save big on Dyson, Shark, iRobot and more

According to our price trackers, this is as low as this hand vac gets (and its best price in months). It's only 1.4 pounds, so your arms won't resent you once you're finished cleaning, and it's got a built-in crevice tool for reaching those itty-bitty spaces. 

This handy little particle picker-upper is ideal for stashing in the car, so you'll always have a way to clean up those fast-food crumbs. It weighs just over a pound, making it easy to reach higher surfaces, and since it's battery-powered, you won't have to deal with annoying cords. It's currently over 80% off, a fab 4th of July sale. 

We usually want to avoid sharks during the summer, but we'll make an exception for this popular stick vac that's nearly 50% off. It's certainly much lighter than a Great White — just 7 pounds — and since it's corded, you won't have to worry about running out of juice in the middle of your cleaning sesh. The pop-out hand vac is, well, handy for cleaning higher surfaces too.

How stylish is this sleek stick vac? And for a fraction of the price of a Dyson, to boot. At just 7.5 pounds, moving it around the house shouldn't prove too difficult, and since it's cordless, there won't be any tripping over cables or searching for empty outlets. It runs for up to 48 minutes on a single charge and has a built-in handheld vacuum for de-dusting higher areas in your home.  

It would be-Hoover you to snag this 10-pound vac while it's down to one of its lowest prices of all time. Why, you ask? Well, if you've got pets (or happen to be a shedder yourself), its Tangle Guard brush roll helps prevent hair from getting caught; plus, it'll run for up to 35 minutes on a single charge.

This powerful 7-pounder tackles pet hair, crumbs and that dreaded beach sand with ease, according to our resident vacuum tester, Kristin Granero. She awarded it the title of "best cordless stick vacuum," saying it "hit the sweet spot in our testing for a sleek vacuum that offers solid performance, along with some snazzy features, at a competitive price."

She went on to praise its narrow brush head that "swivels like a dream" and described it as "lightweight" and "incredibly quiet — enough that it probably wouldn't wake a sleeping baby." You'll be able to see dirt hiding in dark spaces, thanks to its headlights, and it even has a dust sensor that'll automatically adjust the power depending on how much extra cleaning oomph is required. As for suction? Granero called it "superb," saying it was a champ at "mowing down faux fur, sand, kitty litter, rice and cereal with ease." 

Of course, if it's a Dyson you want, a Dyson you can get — and for a not-so-shabby $120 discount. What sets this model apart is the "Fluffy" cleaner head, which gently cleans floors without scratching up your beautiful wood. It also has a detangling Motorbar and hair screw tool for removing pet fur from sofas and more. Included are a two-year warranty and unlimited Dyson support.

If vacuuming is the chore you least look forward to, say hello to your new best friend. This small yet mighty robovac runs for up to 90 minutes at a time to take some of the work off your plate, and its small profile allows it to sneak into those often forgotten spaces in your home, like under furniture. You can give it voice commands via Google Assistant, or use the iRobot app to schedule cleanings and more. Oh, and this price is better than Amazon's, FYI...

And for a truly hands-off cleaning option? Look no further than this popular (as in, over 10,000 sold last month) robovac. It's dropped down to its lowest-ever sale price, and while I could go on about its strong suction and mapping abilities, the star feature is the self-emptying base, which will hold up to 60 days' worth of debris so you're not touching any dirt or dust. 

Attention, pet parents: Before you call your local carpet cleaning service, you'll want to check out this little wonder from Bissell. It was designed with pet stains in mind, but it's effective on dirt and other messes as well. At under 10 pounds, it's easy to take from room to room, and its strong spray and suction capabilities will have you wondering why you considered replacing every rug in your home. (Just ask the more than 6,800 Walmart customers who gave it a perfect rating.) This price is about as low as we've ever seen it.

If you're of the "Dyson or nothin'!" persuasion, now is your chance to grab a bestseller for 45% off. This clever ball vac automatically returns to its upright position should it get knocked over. Not to mention, its Turbinehead knows how to position itself depending on the surface it's cleaning to increase suction, and you'll get four tools for tackling different spaces in your home. Plus, its washable lifetime filter means you won't have to shell out for replacements.
