Shopping for a Dyson vacuum can feel like you’ve been sucked into one. There’s a dizzying array of models on sale at any given time, and every new model tries to outdo the last one by packing in more features. The newest machines have features such as lasers and LCD screens, making it hard to figure out exactly which model is worth your hard-earned cash.
For anyone who'd rather snag a deal than pay out for all the bells and whistles, Dyson moves older models down the product lineup, so the top model from three years ago might be today's value option. You can even usually find discontinued Dyson vacs at a steep discount as old stock sells out. Dyson's official eBay outlet occasionally has exclusive deals on outgoing models too. Dive in with us as we make sense of Dyson's catalog, and be sure to check out the rest of our home cleanliness buying guides, including the Best Eco-Friendly Cleaning Products, Best Air Purifiers, and Best Robot Vacuums.
Updated June 2024: We've added informational slides on how to clean your Dyson vacuum and a breakdown of all the different accessories Dyson offers. We also updated pricing and links.
