This top-rated stick vac makes cleaning easy — even in hard-to-reach places. (Amazon)(Amazon)
If you spent your holiday weekend enjoying family, friends, food and fun, odds are your home could use a little post-party pick-me-up. Luckily, Amazon Prime Day deals are here to help! Right now, one of the best Amazon Prime Day deals is on the Kenmore Elite Cordless Stick Vacuum. Usually $150, it’s down to just $87 for Prime Day, a rare chance to score a powerful, lightweight vacuum at its lowest price of the season. Don’t let the mess linger: thanks to these Prime Day deals, cleanup just got a whole lot easier (and cheaper).
Quality stick vacuums regularly sell for well over $100. The best ones, in fact, usually cost three times that. This vac is already on sale for $109, and a 20%-off on-page coupon gives you double discounts. That means you’re getting more than 40% off during Amazon Prime Day, making this one of the top Prime Day deals for anyone who wants a powerful, versatile cleaner. It’s ready to tackle carpets, upholstery, and those hard-to-reach, dust-prone spots like ceiling fans and corners.
You might be asking yourself, "Can a sub-$100 vac really give me the cleaning power I need?" The answer is yes, and there's a product testing pro to back that claim up. Yahoo Home & Garden Writer Kristin Granero tested 14 cordless vacuums earlier this year, and the Kenmore got top billing as the best value option. She noted that it was lightweight and therefore moved "swiftly yet gently," also touting its HEPA filter, 40-minute runtime, multiple lights that help illuminate grime and an extra-large dust cup that meant she didn't have to keep running to the trash can.
Granero further noted that this pick earned the nickname "Tinker Bell" during testing for its quickness and those glowing lights. "It was easy to set up — three main parts, three clicks — and can be charged in the wall mount dock or plugged right into an outlet," she added. "It contains a HEPA filter for capturing 99.97% of pixie (er, dust) particles and features an LCD display that illuminates different colors to indicate charge level and motor speed. You use the switch to start and stop, and can toggle between modes via the button on top (no need to keep holding). With Amazon Prime Day deals in full swing, this is the moment to grab a pro-recommended vacuum at a steal, and finally show that Dyson who’s boss.
Amazon shoppers love this vacuum for its easy assembly, maneuverability and serious suction capability.
I’ll admit I have a problem with collecting vacuums, but only because I keep searching for 'the one.' I think with this Kenmore cordless vacuum, I have finally found the one to warm my cold, bitter heart," said one rejuvenated reviewer. "I clean my entire home, plus car, plus it’s great for cleaning my toddler’s car seat, which is the cleanest I’ve seen it in a couple of years! Get it, you won’t regret it."
"Better than my Dyson," said a Kenmore convert. "To turn the vacuum on, you just flip a switch, and it stays on. On the Dyson, you have to keep the button pressed to run it, something that annoyed me from the start. ... And it comes with lights — a huge plus! I am noticing more pet hair on my floor with the lighting."
A final fan shared a sentiment that other buyers echoed. "I almost never write reviews, but this vacuum ... makes me want to vacuum every day," noted a tidy buyer. "I’ve been using it daily for about a month. I clean my entire main floor and can do the stairs before it needs a charge."
Cons 👎
While most buyers enjoy the Kenmore stick vac, others dinged it for minor issues.
"[It] does a great job picking up dog hair, and the receptacle is large and transparent, so [it's] easy to see when to empty it," said one shopper. "But it's too loud for me. It has a very high-pitch whir, and I am noise-sensitive. I ordered earplugs so I can use it. The convenience makes it worth it."
"Had this for two years now and it still works good," noted another user. "Hair is an issue, but that's with any vacuum with a roller — just have to cut it out."
