Like my previous deal, Dyson has just cut the price on these units in half making this another hot deal. Appears they're clearing the shelves after announcing they're going totally cord free. It’s also one of two vacuums that sent Aldi shoppers in a spin a few months ago at $349. Sales history shows these were selling for $499 last month through Dyson’s official eBay store. Ensure you apply one of the coupons above at checkout for the 5% discount. Enjoy :)

      Why?

      Normal vacuum cleaners have about 8 times the suction power and are not limited by a 20 minute battery like the stick ones

      • iDroid on 26/03/2018 - 10:12

        Stuck vacuums are an improved broom + dustpan & brush, they are not a IMO a replacement for a "real" vacuum.

        I have one and would buy another, they're damn handy. But for a large house with kids, they're a better dustpan (a damn good one at that).

      • noshopping on 26/03/2018 - 10:31

        Yes, I own a V8+ and DC29 corded and have tried this experiment twice. Basically I go through half a room with the V8+ and other half with DC29. Corded version picks up MUCH more dust and suction is much more powerful. I am stunned that Dyson is completely ditching corded vacs. Perhaps most of their cordless versions account for all their sales? I have also talked to a HN rep who says the battery loses its charge after the 4th year and they get a lot of repeat business. I guess this is somewhat similar to phones, they're all moving to inbuilt batteries so the phones can be slimmer and people keep upgrading.

        • iDroid on 26/03/2018 - 11:04

          You've been convinced by an article?

          I have a house, kids, a DC23 and a V8 - that V8 is absolutely useless for cleaning my house. It's fine for a quick "pretend vacuum" but does not get my house clean.

          Also, it's terrible for things like getting cobwebs from ceiling, cleaning the car, etc. They're just not suited to these tasks.

          Unless it has a hose attachment, powered floor brush, etc - it's just not going to cut it regardless of how uber awesome the sucking is.

          Each to his own, but 'chunky floor vacs are dead' is a heap of hype until proven in real world use.

          My real world use so far suggests differently. The only improvement they're offering is better suction/faster motor. That's won't fix the problem I have with them.

          @phunkydude: So true - a corded vacuum will last for many, many years (9 years on my DC23 so far) and still going strong - let's see how your battery powered device is doing in 5 years time.. That 3 mins of battery life left is going to suck (or perhaps not!!)..

          It's an awesome way ensure their devices need replacing every few years.

          yes, because inside the article it told me that dyson will no longer make chunky floor vacs anymore because they are sh%#. it was less of a convincing and more just stright up facts. your real world use "so far" is what were talking about here. i believe the stick vacs at 90% of the way there now. everything u say u want are all "attachments" a hose, a power floor brush (which mine has) ect, and with dyson no longer selling big vacs competing with their stick vacs they will flood the market with all kinds of attachments that were not avalable before.

          will no longer make chunky floor vacs anymore because they are sh%#.

          Meaningless comment without qualification. Why are they shit? I have both and IMO for a vacuum the battery V8 is sh!t compared to the DC23 (different beasts for different jobs IMO).

          • The battery will have a limited life span.
          • The battery will reduce in performance over time.
          • The powered floor brush in the battery powered devices do not perform like a mains powered head.
          • The quoted running times are for "normal mode" - no one uses these things on normal mode for "normal" vacuuming. And is based on a new device, not a 1 year old one.

          our real world use "so far" is what were talking about here.

          Well, you referenced an article. Happy to hear your real world use experience. I'm going on my real world experience. I trust that far more that an article on the web.

          90% the way there? I own both, the V8 gets about 5% the use the DC23 gets - for a good reason.

          Each to their own though.

          @ego2spare:

          the ahhh, the new stick vacs do…

          Ummm care to back that up with facts?

          The Dyson V10 claims 150 air watts in maximum mode.
          A Miele Complete C3 Brilliant does 250 air watts
          A Dyson Cinetic is 230 air watts

          So that's 60% less suction power than a corded model.

          But the rated air watts are in Maximum mode (which a corded model always does)
          In standard mode the V6 has 28 airwatts (V7 and v8 are slightly less at 22 air watts) so the V10 will probably be the same.
          Thats 90% less suction than a corded model on the standard mode.

          Dyson doesnt publish battery life for each mode however the V6 lasted 20 minutes on Standard and 6 minutes on Maximum.
          The V10 claims 60 minutes so let's just assume it is triple the battery life across all settings. That means Maximum mode will give you 18 minutes of use on maximum.

          If you want the 60 minutes of use you are going to be cleaning with only 10% of the power of a corded unit.

          And that is with a brand new battery.
          We know that battery life will degrade over time so those minutes will get shorter each use.

          @spaceflight:
          Not only will the battery's degradation affect run-times, but they also reduce current output as well, meaning lowered suction.

          The cyclonic mechanisms (nozzles, chambers, post- and pre-filters, etc) also begin to clog with micro-fine dust as well, reducing in effectiveness. This clogging is what led me away from my Dyson corded to a Miele Bag-vac.

        • iDroid on 28/03/2018 - 12:43

          @Tunblor:

          Agree with what you're saying (especially about battery's performance overtime - guarantees limited life span)

          The cyclonic mechanisms (nozzles, chambers, post- and pre-filters, etc) also begin to clog with micro-fine dust as well, reducing in effectiveness.

          True, but these are all easily cleanable. Filters can be washed, chambers can be cleaned with a compressor or similar reasonably easily.

          This is true also for other brands and bagged vacuums to some degree, it's not really a bag-less specific issue.

    From anyone who owns one of these or similar, are they worth the money? I know the build quality is good, but anything else that makes them stand out over cheaper alternatives?

    • UncleRico on 26/03/2018 - 00:38

      The sheer cleaning capabilities are unmatched, especially on carpet floors. When we first got the equivalent (purple and green!) model about 13 years ago, we emptied the bag three times after its first run in a freshly cleaned three bedroom carpeted house, revealing how much more dirt and dust it extracted from the carpet compared to our existing vacuum.

      In more recent years, other players have caught up, but the convenience of bagless remains a big selling point along with the build quality. A Dyson barrel vac may be overkill for hard floors, but for carpet, it was amazing for us and is still running strong. We paid $800-900 at the time. At this price, its a snip.

        The sheer cleaning capabilities are unmatched.

        If you’re talking bagless, maybe. Miele C3 will anhiliate any Dyson any day of the week on any surface. I don’t know about Miele CX (bagless). Used Dyson from 2002-2018 and within 1 minute of using the Miele on the carpet, I could tell it was far, far better. Better build quality, much cheaper, better suction, quiet function. Air powered spinning head, better for allergies. Miele has always been better than Dyson and will probably continue to do so. I’d only go Dyson if you want to pay extra money to not use bags, but it’ll take years for that to pay off.

        Miele bag was half full after a full clean of a house cleaned by a Dyson for years. I think the C3 bag holds about 3.6L too.

          Henry for the win! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_(vacuum)

          We had a Dyson DC29 previously when living overseas, it was ok. When we moved back to Aus, they were so overpriced that we went looking for something else. Found the Henry and thought it was a joke at first, but eventually ended up getting one about 2 years ago and it's been brilliant. Would never go back to a Dyson.

          Bag-less vacuum are so overrated. We have 3 kids who make a huge mess in the house and I think we replace the bag once every 6 months. They cost a couple of dollars each and are worth every cent to not have to clean the dust catcher.

        but the convenience of bagless remains a big selling point along with the build quality

        I don't find them more convenient.

        A bagless Dyson holds about 2 litres of rubbish but a bag holds about 4.5 litres.
        So you will have emptied the bagless twice but still be cleaning with the bagged vacuum.

        Emptying a bagless is also messy as thee is no bag to stop the dust blowing around everywhere.

        I think i remember the purple and green ones having a carpet roller brush so if your old one did not that will be the biggest difference.

    • bchliu on 26/03/2018 - 00:41

    • spaceflight on 26/03/2018 - 10:03

      I had a Dyson and after about 6 months went and got another Miele.

      The Miele is much better overall, built better, better suction and bags are easier to empty and last longer compared to the time it takes a canister to fill up

    • Gr8deel on 26/03/2018 - 10:11

      I have had one of these for about 3 years now. Pros: strong suction, bagless, compact size. Cons- can tip over when being pulled around obstacle or corners, the wheels on the carpet/hard floor head attachment cannot be removed and the axles are inaccessible..so when they accumulate hair and start to not turn freely you are stuck with wheels that can potentially scratch polished wood.

    • Vazza on 26/03/2018 - 10:16

      I've had the older DC26 model for 8 years. I've had no problem with it and it does the job.

      I tend to be quite rough with the vacuum and it's held up quite well. The suction seems ok, but then again I've haven't used a Miele so I can't compare it to that.

      Pro's

      • Should last a long time
      • Build quality appears ok and remember to clean out filter. The thing starts smelling badly if this hasn't been cleaned.
      • I think the capacity is ok, I vacuum a couple times of week and it rarely fills up. Out of habit, I empty this after every use though.

      Con's

      • You really need to the motorised head to get the most out of this, the attached head is really poor and does a bad job on hardwood floors.
      • Following on from the first point, if you have I don't think it will do the best job. I have a greyhound with fine hair and I have to go over the same space a few times to properly pick it up
      • When you empty the bag, it will leave a dust cloud
      • Cord is short and the machine easily tips over

      Just waiting for thing to die and I will most likely get Miele and have a cordless Dyson for small jobs.

      • KLoNe on 26/03/2018 - 10:29

        What does the motorised head do? Automatically switch between modes? That literally take 1 second with your foot.

        • Vazza on 26/03/2018 - 11:11

          Completely different head type and it does make a difference picking up fine hair. Dyson call it a 'turbine head'.

        • spaceflight on 26/03/2018 - 14:07

          A motorised head uses an electric motor to power the spinning bristles (I dont know if Dyson does these)

          I think Dyson only use air powered brush heads, so the air is used to make the brush head spin.

          Is there a problem with that? (9 year old DC23, plastic is light and has not proved to be an issue in anyway).

          The vast majority of vacuums are plastic.

          Suction - C3 has more than the Dyson

          With an empty bag (that was a fun 8 seconds)..

          Bagged - Easier to empty and takes longer to fill

          Easier? You say that like pressing a button to release the content is difficult. Longer to fill? Filling is NOT the issue, becoming clogged and stopping suction IS. This takes just a few seconds and performance is dropping.

        Much better than dyson..hat to empty it and sometimes very smells!

        The simple fact you use only 3 bags a year tells me the suction of Miele doesn't come close to avoid Dyson. I also know that because I own both. The only potential advantage of a vac with a bag is filtering is the air that goes through it.

        • spaceflight on 26/03/2018 - 10:27

          A Miele bag holds more than twice a Dyson canister so you are going to empty a Dyson more frequently than a bagged vacuum

        • lgacb08 on 26/03/2018 - 11:16

          Before making a comparison try empty out a full Miele bag and see for yourself, stated volume says nothing. You probably need a high grade mask though.

          When I empty my C3 the bag weighs about a kg and is absolutely bulging. Don't underestimate the capacity of these things.

          I think the bagless vacuums don't compress the dust, unlike a bagged one. Hence they give the impression they are picking up more dust.

          @spaceflight: You keep bagging on about this with no qualification of why and how that's an issue.

          Emptying a bag is the least issue I have when cleaning my house. It takes literally 30 seconds. Such concern about a non issue.

          Regardless of volume, if you want to maintain good suction you're going to need to replace your bag VERY often. That sucks.

          @butwhy: No, they have far superior suction since they are not hindered by the content of the bag (not as much anyway).

          The suction figures given are for empty bags, this is not a realistic use case unless you replace the bag every use and maybe partway through (depending on your situation). Obviously no (sane) one does that, ergo, bagless is superior in maintaining the peek suction.

          The volume held by a bag is far more than the tiny canister on the Dyson.

    The V10 is going to sell like hotcakes.

      Very expensive hotcakes though…

    For me, Dyson is overrated; a bluff

    EXCEPT for the design.

    i have a dyson stick, battery only lasts less than 5 mins, not even enough for one room.

    • wtfnodeal on 26/03/2018 - 00:56

      V6?

      How old is it? Time to replace the battery it else it’s faulty.

      The very first batch of stuck vacuums had a battery connection issue where the battery would disconnect and reconnect from the vacuum. Has been fixed from second gen onwards (this is all from memory and I could be wrong).

      You should get it looked at.

      • Farrba on 26/03/2018 - 01:03

        how long does it last now for the recent models?

        • flashi007 on 26/03/2018 - 01:10

          20-40 minutes

        • marantz on 26/03/2018 - 01:11

          Around 20 mins on normal mode or 5+ mins on turbo mode

          @flashi007: I’m not sure why my comment is downvoted here?

          The V6 has a run time of up to 20 mins (normal mode)
          The V8 has a run time of up to 40 mins (normal mode)
          And the V10 supposedly has a run time of up to 60 mins.

      i haven dyson stick vac, not as impressed as using their corded model for cleaning power.

    • ttc72 on 26/03/2018 - 09:29

      Something wrong there, that's not normal.

        my corded dc23 has the motorised power head, the dyson stick i have is ok on tile floor.

        • ttc72 on 26/03/2018 - 15:52

          I have a dc29, a dc54 and two v6 sticks. They all work very well.
