Dyson just dropped the price to $899 on eBay pre code, $829 after SSPLUS code. $70 cheaper than the $899 Amazon deal. Thanks to OnlyOneStar for noticing the new price drop.
eBay plus is $4 for 1 month if you aren't a member.
I got one of these about 6+ months ago, and it's legit already starting to fall apart like wheels on the head falling off etc.
I stupidly looked up reviews after I got mine, and found out that it's not just me and more than a few people have the same experience.
Ahhh yes, classic Dyson build quality
My old V6 is doing just fine after 8 years, just needed the battery replaced. I'd say the old Dyson's have great build quality.
Yeah…our V6 after a decade of abuse is still going, and would be fine aside from the battery being somewhat degraded - pretty impressive really. You don't expect Lithium cells to be all that healthy after 10 years anyway.
Since the genuine batteries are so pricey and third party options iffy, I simply ordered the V8 from JB this morning at $307 delivered (now unavailable). Will throw a Makita adapter on the V6 and use it in the shed.
@Banj0: Yeah my brush head is looking a bit scratchy now days, thinking of getting a V8 absolute and keeping the V6 outside as a car cleaner. Might also just buy second hand as people price them to clear when the batteries die.
Yep, a wheel has fallen off my anti-tangle head. Time to see if Dyson will replace it. They had to do the seal near the barrel after only having it for a month
Dyson support/warranty should sort that out?
On a side note, purchased this vacuum a couple weeks ago so I got something to keep an eye on
this or the gen5detect?
This is the gen5detect
This or this?
Or that
This is gen5 detect
gen5outsize i mean
only if you have a very large house to vacuum. The weight of it is prohibitive. Suggest you go into a store and try it out.
Yeh this. Even the gen5detect (for me) gets heavy after a while. I wouldn’t get one this heavy again …
@FrontBottom: Added weight training feature. Imagine the bi/triceps after vacuuming for a prolonged period.
Good vacuum cleaner. The green light will turn a small 1 min vacuum job into a housewide vacuum.
Yes.
Dodgy marketing from someone. Pre $70 code, it was $949 ~30 minutes ago, then ~25 minutes ago they raised it to $1579, then ~10 minutes ago down to $899.
That ~15 minute price rise now lead them to display:

Now the banner displays $1579 $899 (42% off)

Buy It Now price
Expensive for a vac. Paying for the laser tech? Turn on the light when vacuuming. Robot vac at this price
dyson trying to create higher price point things that you don't need and just have more parts that can break
True story
Viomi A9 has an LED light on the front. Quite handy and seems to do similar to the laser. not bad for a sub $150 stick vac.
For everyone arguing $100-200ish stick vac can also do the job, Dyson too expensive blah blah, consider this:
+ Most cheap vac doesnt have good seal and filter. It means fine dust will get out of vac and you possibly inhale it.
+ Cheap vac suction is rubbish on different types of floor, especially carpet
+ If you have pet or long hair, good luck getting them out of a cheap vac.
+ Many expensive vac has multiple cyclone tech, which prevents cloggage.
+ Battery life of cheap vac, no surprise, is also rubbish. In case it has long battery life, it sucks in nothing.
+ How easy to find replacememt parts if it breaks? You probably just throw the thing away.
Expensive is not necessarily good, but good usually equals expensive. For a stick vac, this is very true.
Yeah I wasn't advocating for it, just saying the laser can be replaced with a well placed LED for similar results.
No thanks. Third party after market parts when thing break is a big no no for Viomi and such.
Had a cheapie dreame for under 200 bucks and had to chuck it in the bin 2 months later.
my first gen Dyson V8 is still chugging along and now I’m getting this for a dual Dyson setup.
Definitely not saying to get a Viomi. Ours will be ewaste once the battery goes.
Just pointing out the laser system can be mostly done by some cheap LEDs.
Yeh not the same. The laser light actually shows up where the dirt is.
keeping an eye out for the Complete personally
Only really adds the dock and a few attachments
pretty required in our house- the standing dock is helpful in our laundry due to wall space, and the awkward gap tool is going to be a godsend.
You can wait for a price that may never come though plenty of aftermarket stuff you can buy.
The fact this is considered a 'deal' boggles my mind. Maybe back in the old days stick vac's were crap and Dyson was the only good one but those days are well and truly gone.
The battery costs money compared with a power cord.
What is the difference between Absolute & Complete?
Few accessories
TGG has price matched via online chat.
Just curious re. the price of these vaccums.
I use a $49 vaccum (just a normal one with wheels), not handheld, going very very fine — in it's 10th year now.
Which is better? This or V15？
this
Thanks!
Both have been on sale recently but we decided to buy the v15 as it has a trigger start which is easier for one handed vacuuming. The gen5detect has a push button start so you wont be able to stop/start as efficiently but the benefit is less fatigue im the hands/arm from constantly holding onto the switch on the v15.
Gen5 also has stronger suction.
Thanks for the advice!
What's the cash back on this one?
3.5% Cash rewards
I don’t think it stacks with code - but I would be happy to be corrected.
Thanks!
Thanks for checking this for me!

Literally just bought this 6 days ago with that code and paid $879. What a pain!
Also worth noting the V15 is $784 with the SSPLUS code.
