Dyson's Black Friday sale is in full swing and our best-on-test cordless vacuum is at its lowest price ever
Don't miss out on Black Friday deals on Dyson's high-end vacuum cleaners, air purifiers and hair care products
Dyson was one of the first vacuum brands to launch their Black Friday sale, weeks ahead of the big event on November 29. Now in their third week, a whole new round of vacuums have gone on sale, including two of their best ever models – the V15 Detect and V12 Detect Slim – which are now at their lowest prices ever.
Dyson is famous for being one of the biggest and best home appliance brands out there, creating innovative, smart home tech, but the usually eyewatering prices can put them out of reach of many. This is why it's financially smart to to grab one of the best Dyson vacuums, air purifiers and hair care products on an early Black Friday deal now.
As H&G's home tech editor, I can confirm these products are worth the hype and now is the time to buy. My team of expert reviewers and I have spent weeks and months testing 14 appliances from Dyson's line-up at home and in our test center so we know their products inside out. I've even visited their engineering labs in Malmesbury, UK to really get under the bonnet of their engineering and understand what features are worth the spend, and which are not.
All of this to say, I have a Dyson vacuum at home myself and wouldn't pick another. Below I've collated all the best Black Friday Dyson vacuum and more deals available right now, quick links to their full Black Friday sale, and sale collections at other retailers, to help you compare.

Dyson vacuum deals
Dyson make some of the best vacuum cleaners in the world. We've tested more than 40 of their vacuums and they surpass the others almost every time. This does come at a steeper cost however, which is why we think it's smart to wait until they're a bit more affordable in the sales.
Dyson V15 Detect Absolute | was $749.99, now $549.99 at Dyson (save $200)
If you've read our Dyson V15 Detect review, you'll know it's one of our favorite vacuums we've ever tested. Rivalled only by the Dyson Gen5detect, this incredibly powerful cordless vacuum can pick up pretty much any type of debris, regardless of the floor type.
The V15 senses how much dust it's picking up and can up the suction power when necessary. It features a green laser that illuminates dust that the naked eye can't see, and you get two floorheads for specialized cleaning across different surfaces.
The Absolute comes with every attachment you can use for the V15 Detect (the dusting and crevice tool, the anti-tangle hair screw tool, and the combination tool).
Right now, the Dyson V15 Detect is at one of the lowest prices I have ever seen.
Dyson V12 Detect Slim | was $649.99, now $399.99 at Dyson (save $250)
The little sister version to our top-rated vacuum (the Dyson V15 Detect and Gen5detect), the V12 Detect Slim features the same laser technology we love, with a slightly smaller dust bin and easier power operation (a single button rather than a trigger).
In my recent Dyson V12 Detect Slim review, I learned that it's just as impressively capable of cleaning up debris and dust (and hair!) of all sizes.
From all the vacuums I've tested for H&G, this is the vacuum I kept after testing and now use in my own home. It picks everything up on its first pass and is really powerful.
Dyson Gen5outsize | was $1,049.99, now $799.99 at Dyson (save $250)
This is the best Dyson vacuum that's ever been released. It's the larger version of the Dyson Gen5detect, with a larger dustbin and an extra battery to give you 140 minutes of cleaning between charges.
Out of the 100+ vacuums our tester had reviewed, the Gen5detect surpassed all of them, and the Gen5outsize is the version that's designed for larger homes.
Whether you're vacuuming pet hair, dust, or large debris – you won't get better than this. It's still wildly expensive at $799, but at least it's cheaper than the usual $1,050.
Dyson Ball Animal 3 | was $399.99, now $299.99 at Home Depot (save $100)
Our best upright Dyson vacuum, the Ball Animal 3 is an powerful vacuum with strong performance on all floor types and all debris, including pet hair.
Although it can be a little heavy, it was easy to maneuver on test. Camryn found it vacuumed extremely well on carpets as well as all hard floors, and its 'floorhead prevents pet hair from getting wrapped around the brush roll.'

Dyson air purifier deals
Dyson makes some of the best air purifiers, combining fans and heaters with purified air for multi-function use. Here are my pick of the best offers worth snapping up in Early Black Friday Dyson deals.
Dyson Hot+Cool Jet Focus AM09 | was $469.99, now $299.99 at Dyson (save $170)
If you're not too interested in purification, the AM09 is simply a fan and heater, designed to provide smooth, uninterrupted airflow for fast cooling and heating.
You can select 'focused' or 'diffused' airflow settings for either personal or whole-room coverage. It also has a sleep timer, a remote control and oscillation up to 70 degrees.

Our favorite Dyson products
Whenever the sales come around, these are the Dyson products I look out for. They've excelled in our tests and provide some of the most useful features in the market. But because of their retail price, I always recommend waiting until they're on offer to buy one (luckily, they often are).
Best ever
This is the best vacuum cleaner we've ever tested at H&G, and its hefty price certainly reflects that. The Gen5detect works exceptionally well across every floor type with an impressive 262 air watts. It even rivals the power of the big, corded upright vacuums.
Our reviewer has tested more than 100 vacuums and the Dyson Gen5detect is better than all of them, thanks to its best-in-class (and responsive) suction power, an impressive 70-minute runtime, and a green laser that reveals invisible dust.
It also comes with a wealth of attachments for cleaning carpets, hard floors, upholstery and anything above your head, as well as making light work of pet hair, even digging it out from deep within the carpet fibers.

Best for pet hair
The Dyson V15 Detect was once our best-on-test vacuum cleaner until the Gen5detect came along. That being said, as it's around $300 cheaper, this is the vacuum I recommend to people as the best money can buy (as I just can't justify recommending a $1,000 vacuum).
The V15 Detect is part of the same range as the Gen5detect and V12 Detect Slim, and they all share the same core features: the green laser to illuminate hidden dust, the Piezo dust sensor and automatic, responsive suction. The only real difference is slight variations in suction power and battery life.
The V15 Detect excels on all floor types, and effortlessly vacuumed every visible strand of hair on test while even reviving a dog bed to its original color.

Editor's choice
The smaller, lighter version of the best-on-test Gen5detect and V15 Detect, the V12 Detect Slim is perfect if you're looking to save money but still want this market-leading vacuum tech. Or, if your home is smaller or made of mostly hard floors, this should really be all you need.
This is the vacuum cleaner I use in my own home. Sure, it isn't quite as powerful as the other Dyson Detect vacuums, but it's still incredibly capable across all floors and all debris types (including hair), and it's more powerful than every other I've tested.
With the same core features as the Gen5detect and V15 Detect, just in a smaller design, the V12 Detect Slim just needs to be emptied more often. If you're happy to make that sacrifice, then you can save yourself a bit of money.
