For many of us, summer means traveling, and more time in the car means more chances for dirt and crumbs to invade the interior. Who hasn't dealt with a backseat covered in Cheetos dust, ignored a mountain of dog fur or been haunted by a lone McDonald's fry under the floor mat? We know, we know — your car is one of the toughest things to keep clean. And even the best vacuum may be too bulky to reach all its nooks and crannies. Which is why a car vacuum can really come in handy, and Prime Day is a great time to buy one. Right now, you can save up to nearly 45%.
As Yahoo's resident car vac tester, I know how much these gadgets cost — and what makes a good deal. Trust me when I say I've been tracking prices so you can get the best (cleaning) bang for your buck. I'm talking about a 30% discount on our best car vacuum overall and an editor-beloved hand vac for its lowest price ever. Sorry, but you've got no more excuses for a messy ride. Time to get shopping, and then hit the road!
The best Prime Day car vacuum deals
I've tested about a dozen car vacs in the past year, and this pick won me over with its compact size yet impressive reach. It was my best car vacuum overall, thanks to its flexible 4-foot hose with a curved nozzle that helped me easily access the tightest, most awkward spaces. For the first time ever, I was able to get alllll the way under the front seats of my car without having to strain my back or crouch down.
When I first tested this dustbuster in 2024, it cost $104 — and even then this sale would be a good deal. Considering the retail price now regularly hovers around $135, it's a slam-dunk.
After testing close to 100 vacuums of all shapes and sizes, we Yahoo home editors are fans of Shark, thanks to the brand's smart designs and solid value. In my testing, this lean, mean machine performed just okay, but I was impressed by its powerful suction, especially for how light it is — just 1.4 pounds.
A year ago, this vac retailed for about $90, but as with many appliances, the price has jumped. So this 20% off deal is pretty solid, and FYI, you can also find discounts on some colors, including dark blue and rose gold.

At over 40% off, this dirt destroyer is down to its best price on record — and that includes the battery and charger (which are often sold separately these days). Our Senior Deals Writer, Britt Ross, has owned the V20 for more than a year and proclaims, "It's the best hand vacuum I've ever used." Talk about an endorsement!
It weighs less than 5 pounds and is easy to operate with just two buttons: one to turn it on/off and another to empty out the dust container. Speaking of dust, this thing is, as Ross puts it, "an absolute beast when it comes to sucking up debris off the floor."

This Amazon No. 1 bestseller will swivel its way into your heart. It has a rotating nozzle and built-in crevice tool for reaching tight spaces like that crumb-filled no-man's-land around the seat belt buckle.
I'll admit I tested a version of this dustbuster and wasn't as impressed with its performance as some of the other machines. But its popularity can't be denied: It has more than 71,000 five-star ratings! And it's currently 40% off, bringing it to its lowest price of the year.

There are loads of cordless car vacs like this out there, but few have such an extensive suite of accessories — and are 43% off. I've yet to test this super sucker, but it's definitely on my radar. Nearly 2,000 five-star ratings don't lie!
"This little Monozel vacuum surprised me in the best way," admitted one initially skeptical shopper. "It’s super lightweight, and the suction power is legit — great for cleaning up crumbs, pet hair, and the mess my kids leave in the car ... The LED light’s a nice touch, and the battery lasts way longer than I expected. Honestly, for quick cleanups around the house, car, or even the office, it’s been perfect."
In my experience, these pocket-sized wand vacs are handy if you deal with just the occasional mess — for example, you spill crumbs from a mostly empty bag of chips (not that I'd know anything about this, ha). The Windone Car Vacuum takes things up a notch, though, because it also serves as a tire inflator with up to 150 psi of air pressure.
Now that it's at its lowest price of the year, it's worth snagging one to keep in your emergency car kit, don't you think?

B+D for the win once again! We've yet to see a lower price this year on this nifty sucker, which has a pivoting nozzle for reaching different angles.
Though I haven't tested this exact version, it looks similar to my favorite Black+Decker Flex Hand Vacuum, minus the extendable hose. It has an equally large dust bin, which is a big win, as I was able to thoroughly clean my compact SUV and only empty it once.

Maybe you need more intense cleaning power for stains and gunky stuff that's become embedded in your seat upholstery. No judgement, I swear! My recommendation is to get a portable spot cleaner, and this one's a bonafide bargain at 40% off.
More than 7,000 shoppers have given it a five-star rating, including this rave: "Nifty and efficient little machine! Use it for my car, so it’s nice to have something compact!"
Got a lot of furry friends hitching a ride? Forget Fido — a hand vac will be man's best friend. This one comes with an upholstery tool/scrubbing brush to help lift embedded hair from upholstery.
At $50 (aka 37% off), this is the lowest price we've seen for this particular model, and a pretty good deal for Shark vacuums overall.

Another heavier-duty machine, this vacuum is made by the car care company Amor All and is designed specifically for use in your vehicle and in the garage. It sucks up both wet and dry messes, so while you may not keep this in your trunk 24/7, you can break it out for bigger messes or deep cleaning.
FYI, this powerhouse gets more than 21,000 five-star ratings.
