Don’t miss these vacuum deals happening over the holiday weekend.Courtesy of AmazonCommentLoaderSave StorySave this storyCommentLoaderSave StorySave this storyShopping for a 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 a Dyson blows most other vacuums away. There are a few cheaper models I'll still grab (check out my full guide to cordless and robot vacuums for more recommendations), but if you're dreaming of a Dyson, this weekend is a great time to buy.Several Dyson models I love are on sale for the long weekend. This weekend's sale includes Dyson's newest robot vacuum and the PencilVac that I can't stop using, and my overall favorites like the V15 Detect and Gen5Detect, and more models our team has loved using. Read on to find out every on-sale Dyson I'd buy this weekend.Best Dyson Vacuums on Sale for Memorial DayThe Best Dyson for the PricePhotograph: Nena FarrellPhotograph: Nena FarrellCourtesy of DysonChevronChevronSave to wishlistSave to wishlistDysonV15 Detect$630 $599 (5% off) Amazon (V15 Detect)$850 $650 (24% off) Best Buy (V15 Detect Extra)$650 Amazon (V15 Detect Plus)$850 DysonIf you're looking for the best features for the best price, I already recommend the Dyson V15 Detect when it's not on sale, making this an even better time to buy. You'll get both a Fluffy Optic cleaner head and a Digital Motorbar cleaner head to use for hard floors, carpet, or rugs, trigger control, and details about the particles you suck up while you vacuum. It's lightweight and easy to use anywhere in the house, and the hour-long battery life should be plenty for a whole-home clean.A More Powerful DysonPhotograph: Nena FarrellPhotograph: Nena FarrellPhotograph: Best BuyChevronChevronSave to wishlistSave to wishlistDysonGen5Detect$1,050 $795 (24% off) Amazon$1,050 $800 (24% off) Best Buy$1,050 $800 (24% off) DysonDyson's more powerful stick vacuum is the Gen5Detect, which is a great option if you have pets since it has a faster motor with more suction power than the V15 Detect to suck up more pet hair (it's our top vacuum for pet hair for a reason) and has a HEPA filter to keep allergens contained inside of the vacuum instead of being released back into the air. It also comes with a true power button, so you don't have to hold onto the trigger button the entire time to use it. Similar to the V15 Detect, it comes with both a Digital Motorbar cleaner head and a Fluffy Optic cleaner head to use on carpet and hard floors, respectively. You'll also get two more attachments, plus a built-in dusting and crevice tool (it's nice not to have to wonder where this attachment is!) It's an expensive vacuum, but well worth the investment when it's on sale.If You Only Have Hard FloorsPhotograph: Nena FarrellPhotograph: Nena FarrellPhotograph: Nena FarrellVideo: Nena FarrellChevronChevronSave to wishlistSave to wishlistDysonPencilVac$600 $450 (25% off) Amazon$600 Best Buy$600 DysonI shouldn't like the PencilVac so much, but I find myself reaching for it often, and I think it's plenty worth its abilities when it's on sale. Part of what makes it so easy to grab compared to my other stick vacuums is how easy it is to store and keep charged with the freestanding charging base, letting it stand wherever I like in my home as long as there's an outlet nearby. The PencilVac has two versions, the Fluffy and Fluffycones, with the latter having a design that has fluffy cone-shaped rollers to best collect debris. It is limited to only hard floors and has a short battery life, but I love how maneuverable and lightweight this vacuum is. It's usually a high price tag for its abilities, and even on sale, it's not what I would call cheap, but it's a great, quick daily vacuum.Dyson's Latest Robot VacPhotograph: Nena FarrellPhotograph: Nena FarrellPhotograph: Nena FarrellChevronChevronSave to wishlistSave to wishlistDysonSpot+Scrub Ai$1,200 $850 (29% off) Amazon$1,200 $850 (29% off) DysonDyson's newest robot vacuum, the Spot+Scrub Ai, is its first that doubles as both a vacuum and a mop. It has a large base station that reminds me of Dyson's vacuums, since the dry debris canister is clear and rounded like the ones you'd see attached to a Dyson stick vacuum or one of its upright models. It does a good job mopping and vacuuming, and can learn multiple floors, and the navigation has improved since the older Dyson 306 Vis Nav. Still, it's not perfect navigation, since the camera sits below the top of the vacuum and doesn't always see low-profile furniture that it'll bump into. If you don't have a ton of low furniture (or tons of IKEA pieces, as I do), this vacuum could be just perfect for you.A Stick Vac and MopPhotograph: Adrienne SoCourtesy of DysonChevronChevronSave to wishlistSave to wishlistDysonV15s Detect Submarine$1,050 $750 (29% off) Amazon$1,050 $750 (29% off) Dyson$1,050 $750 (29% off) Best BuyIf you want a vacuum that doubles as a mop, look no further than this variation of the V15 Detect that's also on sale for the holiday weekend. The V15s Detect Submarine comes with the Submarine wet roller head that transforms it from a regular Dyson vacuum (that still comes with both the Fluffy optic cleaner head and Digital motorbar cleaner head for you to use on hard floors and carpet) into a wet roller mop. You can't buy a regular V15 Detect and add this attachment on; this V15s is made to work with this Submarine head. You'll fill the small reservoir on the roller head with water and can start mopping away, but you will have to rinse the mop head afterwards by hand, which is a little gross.A Handheld-Only DysonPhotograph: Brenda StolyarCourtesy of DysonChevronChevronSave to wishlistSave to wishlistDysonCar+Boat$300 $230 (23% off) Dyson$300 $230 (23% off) Best BuyIf you're not looking to spend a ton but want a Dyson that's super portable and great for stairs, cars, and even boats, the Dyson Car+Boat is made for that. It's in the name, after all. This handheld-only vacuum packs solid power and has a great battery life for a handheld vacuum. It uses a trigger-style control like the V15 Detect, which I actually find ideal for cleaning compact spaces like stairs and cars so that you're not fumbling to switch 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.Power up with unlimited access to WIRED.

Memorial Day features sale opportunities for several Dyson vacuum models, presented as potential purchases for consumers. The article positions Dyson vacuums as superior to many alternatives, emphasizing that this weekend is a favorable time to acquire models including the V15 Detect, Gen5Detect, PencilVac, and other favored options. The V15 Detect is highlighted for its combination of features, including the Fluffy Optic cleaner head and the Digital Motorbar cleaner head, trigger control, particle detection, lightweight design, and extended battery life, making it suitable for cleaning various floor types and areas.

The Dyson Gen5Detect is presented as a more powerful option, particularly beneficial for households with pets due to its enhanced suction power for collecting pet hair and the inclusion of a HEPA filter designed to contain allergens. This model also features a true power button and includes additional attachments, such as a digital motorbar cleaner head, positioning it as a robust investment. For users primarily dealing with hard floors, the article also references the V15s Detect Submarine, which transforms the V15 Detect into a wet roller mop via a specialized head, although this process requires manual rinsing.

The PencilVac is described as an easy-to-use and highly maneuverable option, valued for its simple storage mechanism via a freestanding charging base. It is noted for being effective on hard floors, though it has limitations regarding battery life and application scope, making it a quick daily vacuum solution. For robotic cleaning, the Spot+Scrub Ai is introduced as Dyson's newest model, which functions as both a vacuum and a mop, incorporating a large base station that resembles Dyson's standard vacuum bases. This robot vacuum boasts improved navigation capabilities and is effective at mopping and vacuuming multiple floors, although the navigation system still faces limitations when dealing with low-profile furniture.

Furthermore, a more portable option, the Dyson Car+Boat, is suggested for users needing a versatile handheld vacuum capable of handling compact spaces like cars and boats. This model utilizes a trigger-style control similar to the V15 Detect, offering solid power and good battery life for hands-on cleaning. The wide selection of deals also includes options like the V15 Detect Extra and the Spot+Scrub Ai, indicating a range of choices across different power levels and functionalities. The piece is presented by Nena Farrell, a writer and reviewer for WIRED, offering an experienced perspective on these technology products.
