You’ll know that you’ve reached a certain age when the idea of a new vacuum fills you with joy - we get it, we’re relishing the thought too.
With the likes of Dyson and Shark changing the vacuum game forever, there is no wonder that these now hi-tech cleaning instruments have us rushing to check out of our virtual baskets. With innovative features, they make the chore of cleaning a breeze with considered attachments to ensure that not an inch or corner of our home is left dusty or dirty.
There is truly never a better time to shop the likes of vacuums (or really any other of the less sexy home purchases - from washing machines to dishwashers) than Black Friday.
What is Black Friday?
Each year, bargain hunters everywhere have Black Friday earmarked in their diaries to finally take the plunge on the items they’ve had their eye on all year long. Officially taking place across a weekend, it is the biggest shopping event in the calendar and is the single best time to maximise discounts across tech, fashion, beauty, home and toys.
When is Black Friday 2022? When is Cyber Monday 2022?
The discounts have already begun rolling in but the best deals are reserved for the event itself. Black Friday is on November 25, while Cyber Monday that marks the end of the sale and is traditionally reserved for tech deals will take place on November 28.

AEG 8000 SERIES CORDLESS VACUUM CLEANER
The AEG 8000 Series Cordless Vacuum Cleaner is an absolute game changer. Let us explain why.
Its lithium turbo battery pack allows you to clean your entire home in just one charge. Rid yourself of the despair of a half-charged cordless hoover when you’ve finally decided to attack the dust on a Sunday afternoon. If you have a slightly larger home, you have the option scooping up an extra battery and pre-charging that.
The hoover’s Auto Mode sense changes in floor type as you make your way across your square-footage, and adapts suction power for efficiency. Truly the future. And you can save £150 on it this Black Friday.

NUMATIC Henry Xtra HVX200 Cylinder Vacuum Cleaner - Red
Best for: large capacity, dust-free emptying
Bagged or bagless: bagged
Capacity: 9 litres
Cord length: 10 m
Dimensions: 34 x 36 x 37cm
Weight: 8 kg
This is a souped-up version of the familiar, much loved Henry vacuum. The Xtra promises to collect even more stubborn dirt and hairs from both hard and soft floor surfaces. It also has a massive nine litre capacity.
If you are worried about allergens, the Henry Xtra has a two-stage filtration system, trapping the dirt inside a large capacity HepaFlo bag, which is easy to empty with a self-seal tab that traps the dust inside the bag. This does give it the edge over bagless models, as you don’t get that classic cloud of dust when emptying, nor the ick of having to stick your hand inside to pull out the dust and hair.
The main cleaning head can be used for hard floors with the brushes down and carpets with them up. It comes with extra tools to make light work of cleaning, including the AiroBrush that helps remove ground-down dirt from your carpets, lifting dust, dirt and hairs from deep in the carpet fibres and also a specialist hard floor tool that is designed to give good suction power on floorboards, laminate surfaces and tiled floors in kitchens and bathrooms.
It has, of course, both crevice and dusting tools for hard-to-reach places and the upholstery tool can not only be used for your sofas but also for stairs and your car, too. The nozzle is ideal for vacuuming dead skin cells from your mattress - just don’t look in the bag afterwards!
Henry is not tiny, so be sure you have a cupboard or cabinet for storage (tools can be stored on board) and it’s pretty heavy so make sure you’re happy lifting 8kg.
On the plus side, the cable is a really decent 10 metres long and as mentioned, the capacity is huge – over double some of the other models we tested.
