PSA: Dyson is having a major sale on vacuums, hair dryers and more


4.4-star average rating from 32,145 reviews on Amazon
One of Dyson’s most affordable cordless vacuums, the V8 Absolute is lightweight (weighing only 5.8 pounds), has a 40-minute runtime and includes a built-in HEPA filter. It also comes with crevice and combination tools, a hair attachment and a motorbar made for hard surfaces, according to the brand. The handle also detaches and works as a handheld vacuum, making it easy to clean upholstery and stairs. The additional attachments — and the fact that it’s more compatible with several floor types — set it apart from the traditional V8.

A favorite among NBC Select staffers, the Dyson Airwrap is a versatile multistyler — and unlike traditional hair dryers, straighteners and curling irons, it pairs heat with a targeted airflow; this harnesses the Coanda effect to use air to style hair instead of high temperatures alone, which can in turn help prevent potential damage. It comes with a hair-dryer attachment, a curling barrel that allows you to wrap hair in different directions and a loop brush to smooth and style. It weighs around 1 pound and has three heat and speed levels.
4.6-star average rating from 16,156 reviews on Amazon
The V11 Extra is another lightweight (6.5 pounds) cordless vacuum from Dyson, but it has a runtime of 60 minutes, compared to the V8’s 40. It also comes with several attachments, including a crevice tool, an upholstery tool, extension hose, attachment adapter, dusting brush and combination tool. It has three cleaning modes — Eco, Boost and Auto — and is compatible with both carpet and hardwood floors. You can use it as a handheld vacuum as well.
