Black Friday is still a few weeks away, but several Dyson vacuum cleaners are already available at reduced prices. The current offers include robot, stick and handheld models, although the value of each deal depends on the vacuum and its accessories.
The Dyson Spot+Scrub Ai is one of the main robot vacuum deals. Although it has already been overtaken by a newer Dyson model, testing found that it performed well overall, particularly given that it is among Dyson’s first robot vacuums to combine vacuuming and mopping. Its artificial intelligence is intended to identify areas that need scrubbing, though testing did not make it clear whether that feature was working as expected. The current discount is $400, which is better than the offer seen during Prime Day.
The Dyson R1 Nurovi Dry is also discounted, priced at $450 instead of its usual $550. The model has not been tested, so its performance remains uncertain. Testing of the more expensive Dyson R3 Nurovi found rice and popcorn left on rugs and hard floors, leading to reservations about whether the R1 will perform better.
For shoppers seeking a cordless stick vacuum, the Dyson V16 Piston Animal is discounted in several configurations. The company describes it as its most powerful stick vacuum, with 315 air watts, updated body design features and compatibility with the Submarine 2.0 mop head. The base vacuum is $180 off, while bundles with the Submarine head or the charging Floor Dok are each $200 off. The Submarine head was particularly well regarded, while the Floor Dok was highlighted as a useful way to store the vacuum and keep it charged.
A less expensive option is the Dyson V10 Konical, now priced at $400, or $100 below its usual $500 price. Although this is described as its typical sale price, it performed well against more powerful Dyson models in testing and was identified as the preferred choice for buyers who want to stay below $500.
The Dyson Car+Boat handheld vacuum offers 115 air watts of power and nearly an hour of runtime, making it suited to vehicles or carpeted stairs. However, it is harder to recommend while the Dyson V8 Cyclone is commonly available for $300, the same as its regular base price. Most handheld vacuums typically run for only 10 to 20 minutes, giving the Car+Boat an advantage in battery life.
