As someone who tests new vacuums every month, I could easily make a case for why robot vacuums are better or why cordless vacuums are better. If you’re having trouble deciding, my ultimate advice is always just to get both — I promise there are budget-friendly ways to do so, especially when so many good vacuums are on sale for Prime Day.
Should I get a robot vacuum or stick vacuum?
A robot vacuum is the way to go if you know, deep down, that the only way your home will be vacuumed every day is if a robot does it. A cordless vacuum is the way to go if you’re picky about cleanliness and find the chore to be cathartic rather than tedious. If you feel passionately about one side, there are plenty of deals on splurge-worthy vacuums that I’ve tested like the Dyson V15 Detect Extra or Dreame X60 Max Ultra Complete.
But most people can probably see themselves wanting access to both types of vacuums, depending on how busy their day is. In that case, I’d recommend splitting your vacuum budget. Instead of spending $700 to $1,000 on one really nice vacuum, you could buy a budget-friendly stick vacuum like the $269.99 Shark Clean & Empty and a budget-friendly robot vacuum like the $399.99 Dreame D30 Ultra CE. Both are still incredibly powerful for their price, and there will be a ton of mix-and-match options as more vacuum deals pop up through the end of Prime Day on June 27.

Why we like it
For years, we’ve been conditioned to shove ugly vacuums into closets when not in use — or let the plasticky gray or black designs sit out in the living space, regardless of how badly they clash with our decor. That changed when Shark released its Luxe Collection at the beginning of June. Its powerful self-emptying PowerDetect Speed stick vacuum now comes in four chic earth tones: Oatstone, Harbor Slate, Walnut, and Sagewood. They’re all $100 off at SharkNinja.

Not only are these Shark PowerDetect Speed models the prettiest vacuums I’ve ever seen, but the Shark PowerDetect Speed is the best cordless vacuum for pet hair on carpet that I’ve ever tested. The suction power is palpable in your hand, but it’s not so intense that the vacuum gets jammed on carpet. All debris is automatically emptied into the storage dock each time you hang it up, so your next cleaning session will always start with a clean slate. You’ll easily be able to see just how much gunk was sucked up from each room, specifically.

Why we like it
I tested and loved the Eufy C28 when it came out in February 2026. And I have a feeling it’ll remain one of my most recommended robot vacuum and mop combos for the next year or so.
The Eufy C28 is probably the most affordable roller mop robot vacuum you’ll find, and easily the most heavy-duty mopping robot vacuum out there this season. The fluffy roller spans the entire bottom of the vacuum and rinses itself with fresh water as it’s mopping, making it a far more reliable choice for soaking up large liquid spills (without smearing them around) than other cheap mopping robot vacuums. Its self-emptying dock also washes and dries the mop after each cleaning, so it’s easier to forgive how painfully loud it is.
