Best Dyson deals for October 2021

There aren't any exceptional Dyson deals at the moment, but keep an eye on this page as our vacuum experts are constantly searching for the latest savings.

If you can't wait to buy a Dyson, it could be worth checking out an older model. While they might not have the very latest vacuum tech, older Dysons still have an impressive range of features – and could save you hundreds of pounds compared with the latest models.

However, older Dysons tend to have shorter run times and smaller dust capacities than new additions to the Dyson stable, so you'll have to weigh up whether the saving is worth it.

Follow the links below to get our full verdict on each model:

• Dyson V11 Animal, £499
• Dyson Cyclone V10 Absolute, £399
• Dyson Cyclone V10 Animal, £349
• Dyson V8 Animal, £299
• Dyson V7 Animal, £249

If there isn't a Dyson deal for you, take a look at the latest Shark deals instead.

Is the price you've seen actually a good deal?

Whether it's Amazon Prime day, Black Friday or a bank holiday sale, here are the prices you should look out for if you're scouring the sales.

Based on historical pricing data, we think these prices represent genuinely good savings on some of Dyson's most cordless popular models:

• Dyson V15 Detect Absolute – anything under £599 (£499 for the Animal model)
• Dyson Outsize Absolute – anything under £699
• Dyson V11 Absolute – anything under £599 (£499 for the Animal model)
• Dyson Cyclone V10 Absolute – anything under £399 (£349 for the Animal model)
• Dyson V8 Animal – anything under £299
• Dyson V7 Animal – anything under £249

We've noticed that Dyson prices can rise in the months before big sales events such as Black Friday, creating the illusion of huge savings on the day.

Top tips for getting the best Dyson deal

You could pay hundreds of pounds over the odds if you buy a Dyson vacuum at the wrong time, or from the wrong place.

Stick to these golden rules to get the best value:

1. Decide what accessories you need – and what you can live without

Models within the same range (eg the V15 Detect range or the V11 range) usually have the same core machine – the only difference is the accessories and floorheads supplied. 

The entry-level model typically costs about £100 less than the premium model, so you could save big if you're prepared to sacrifice some accessories.

It's also worth remembering that having multiple accessories can be more of a hindrance than a help, especially when it comes to storing them, which is another reason not to splash out on a model with expensive extras unless you're sure you'll use them.

Take a look at our Dyson vacuum reviews to see which models get the basics right, then look out for the specific accessories you're keen on.

2. Watch out for older models costing more than new ones

You'd expect the prices of older vacuums to go down rather than up, but we've found that some Dysons end up being sold for a price that well exceeds the original amount – even several years after they first launched.

It's always worth checking whether you could get a more recent model at the same price.

3. Don't pay more than £400 for a Dyson Cyclone V10

If you're paying more than £400 for a V10 model, consider trading up to a V11 instead.

The V11 Animal doesn't cost much more, but you get more cleaning time, a bigger dust container and an LCD digital display screen with a to-the-second battery countdown.

4. Check out the latest price data

You can use price comparison sites such as PriceRunner and PriceSpy to compare prices across retailers and see historical price data. It's worth having a quick Google too, as some retailers' price feeds aren't picked up by these sites.

The data might reveal whether there's an ideal time of the year to buy your preferred Dyson, or whether we're currently in a peak period where prices tend to be at their highest.

5. Shop around

There are some brilliant Dyson vacuums to be had, but we've also found worthy alternatives from other brands – including much cheaper options.

Black Friday Dyson deals

Black Friday isn't necessarily the best time to get a cheap Dyson. While you'll see a flurry of special offers and discounts ahead of the big day, not all Black Friday deals are good value.

Some retailers hike their prices in the run up to Black Friday, creating the illusion of bargains on the day. Make sure you check out our pricing guide in the table above for realistic 'before' prices.

Last year, Dyson knocked £50 off the V7 and V8 ranges, but prices stayed the same for most other models. But with several new cordless vacuums to promote, it's possible we'll see a better range of deals this time.
