Dyson commemorative vacuum offers: V15 Detect, Gen5Detect and PencilVac for sale

Shopping for The Dyson vacuum is an experience. There are many models to navigate and serious price tags on most of them. As someone who tests vacuums for a living, I have to admit that Dyson destroys most other vacuums. There are a few cheaper models that I’ll continue to own (see my complete guide to cordless and robot vacuums for more recommendations), but if you’re dreaming of a Dyson, this weekend is a good time to buy.

Many of my favorite Dyson models are on sale over the long weekend. This weekend’s sales include Dyson’s newest robot vacuum, the PencilVac that I can’t stop using, general favorites like the V15 Detect and Gen5Detect, and more models that our team has loved using. Read on to find out all the Dyson products on sale that I’ll be buying this weekend.

Best Dyson vacuums on sale on Memorial Day

Best Dyson for the price

If you’re looking for the best features at the best price, I actually recommend the Dyson V15 Detect when it’s not on sale, which makes this a better time to buy. You’ll get a Fluffy Optic cleaner head and a Digital Motorbar cleaner head to use on hard floors, rugs, or rugs, trigger control, and details about the particles you suck up while vacuuming. It’s lightweight and easy to use anywhere in the house, and an hour of battery life should be enough to clean the entire house.

Dyson is more powerful

Dyson’s most powerful vacuum is the Gen5Detect, which is a great choice if you have pets because it has a faster motor with more suction power than the V15 Detect to suck up more pet hair (it’s our best vacuum for pet hair for a reason) and has a HEPA filter to keep allergens inside the vacuum rather than releasing them back into the air. It also comes with a real power button, so you don’t have to hold the power button all the time to use it. Similar to the V15 Detect, it comes with a Digital Motorbar cleaner head and a Fluffy Optic cleaner head for use on carpets and hard floors, respectively. You’ll also get two extra attachments, plus an included dust and crevice remover (good thing you don’t have to wonder where that attachment is!) It’s an expensive vacuum, but worth the investment when it’s on sale.

If you only have hardwood floors

I shouldn’t like the PencilVac that much, but I find myself reaching for it often, and I think it’s well worth its capabilities when it’s on sale. Part of what makes it so easy to grab compared to other vacuums is how easy it is to store and keep charged with its self-contained charging base, allowing it to park anywhere I want in my house as long as there’s an outlet nearby. The PencilVac has two versions, Fluffy and Fluffycones, with the latter being designed to have cone-shaped rollers to better collect debris. It’s limited to hard floors only and has a short battery life, but I love how easy it is to maneuver and how lightweight this vacuum is. They are usually priced high for their capabilities, and even when sold, they are not what I would call cheap, but they are a great, fast everyday vacuum.

Dyson’s latest robot

Dyson’s latest robot vacuum, Spot+Scrub Ai, is the first of its kind to double as a vacuum and mop. It has a large base station that reminds me of Dyson vacuums, since the dry debris tray is clear and round like the ones you see attached to a Dyson vacuum or one of their upright models. It does a good job of cleaning and vacuuming, can learn multiple floors, and navigation has improved since the older Dyson 306 Vis Nav. However, it’s not ideal for navigation, since the camera is located below the top of the vacuum and doesn’t always see the low furniture it’s going to bump into. If you don’t have a lot of low-profile furniture (or a lot of IKEA pieces, like I do), this vacuum might be perfect for you.

Broom stick and mop

If you want a vacuum that also doubles as a mop, look no further than this version of the V15 Detect that’s also on sale this weekend. The V15s Detect Submarine comes with a Submarine wet roller head that turns it from a regular Dyson vacuum (which still comes with the Fluffy Optical Cleaner Head and Digital Motor Cleaner Head for use on hard floors and carpets) into a Wet Spin Mop. You can’t buy a regular V15 Detect device and add this attachment to it; The V15s are designed to work with this submarine head. You’ll fill the little reservoir on the drum head with water and you can start mopping, but you’ll have to manually rinse the mop head afterward, which is a bit gross.

Dyson is handheld only

If you’re not looking to spend a lot but want a Dyson that’s easy to carry and great for use on stairs, cars and even boats, the Dyson Car+Boat is designed for that. It’s in the name, after all. This handheld vacuum only packs powerful power and has great battery life for a handheld vacuum. It uses an actuator-style control like the V15 Detect, which I actually find ideal for cleaning small spaces like stairs and cars so you’re not fumbling around turning it off as you move around the car or to the next set of stairs. It’s an affordable way to get into the Dyson ecosystem, especially since it’s on sale.
