Growing up means being jealous of someone who owns a Dyson vacuum (#adulting). And it’s easy to see why—they’re powerful, lightweight, agile, and bagless. It’s everything you’d want in a dream vacuum! Yes, I said dream vacuum. But it’s tough to get past the cost.

This is Dyson’s latest top-of-the-line cordless vacuum. With a handful of upgrades, it’s the next step up from the V15 Detect. It has a single power button instead of a trigger, a Laser Slim fluffy cleaner head that’s twice as bright, and slightly longer battery life (at 70 minutes), and the fastest motor of any Dyson—with a suction power of 135,000 revolutions per minute (RPM). Dyson also included a HEPA filter, which the company says traps 99.99 percent of 0.1 microns. I didn’t notice a major difference in performance between this one and the V15 Detect, so you shouldn’t pay full price for it. But this is one of the lowest prices we’ve seen for this model, so I wouldn’t wait too long to snag it.
It’s been two years since I first started using the V12 Detect Slim and it’s still my favorite vacuum. I use it to clean dust and crumbs throughout my apartment almost every day (8/10, WIRED Recommends). It’s compact and lightweight (making it a great option for smaller spaces), has an LCD screen to switch between cleaning modes, a run time of up to 60 minutes, and a single power button to turn it on and off. As part of the Detect lineup, it also comes with a variety of attachments including the Laser Slim Fluffy cleaner head.
If you don’t want to spend too much on a Dyson, this is our go-to budget pick. It’s fairly basic compared to the rest of the lineup. It comes with a trigger instead of a power button (so you’ll have to hold it down while using it), along with accessories like a Motorbar cleaner head, crevice tool, and combination tool. It’s also not as powerful, with a motor that rotates up to 120,000 RPM, but it’s fine for picking up dust and debris. The dustbin, however, is on the smaller side at 0.1-gallon. We only recommend this vacuum if it’s on sale—so, you’re in luck.
The V15s Detect Submarine is a vacuum that also doubles as a mop. It comes with a wet roller head and dip tray, without the need for floor wash or any special type of setup. All you have to do is fill the small reservoir with clean water, slide it into the head, and press the trigger. It’ll rotate and scrub the floor while getting rid of sticky messes. It comes with 60 minutes of battery life, but it only takes about 15 percent of power to clean 200 square feet of hardwood floor (and empties about one-fifth of the tank). Sadly, you still have to rinse the mop head by hand. This is also the lowest price we’ve seen for this vaccum, yet.
No, this isn’t a cordless stick vac. It’s Dyson’s very expensive robot vacuum and it’s on sale. It doesn’t have the best navigation skills—we only recommend it if you have an open floor plan with little furniture. But it is powerful, with a spin speed of 110,000 RPM. It also comes with a new “triple action” brush bar (it’s comprised of stiff nylon bristles for carpets, soft nylon for large debris on hard floors, and antistatic carbon-fiber filaments for fine dust) that sweeps up to the edge of each room, along with a digital display, and a revamped dustbin removal and emptying system. It’s dipped as low as $847 in the past, but this is still a solid deal.
