Memorial Day Dyson Vacuum Deals: V15 Detect, Gen5Detect, PencilVac On Sale

shopping for one The Dyson vacuum is an experience. There are many models to navigate through and most of them have serious price tags. As someone who tests vacuums for a living, I have to admit that the Dyson blows away most other vacuums. There are some cheaper models I’d still go with (check out my complete guide to cordless and robot vacuums for more recommendations), but if you’ve been dreaming of a Dyson, this weekend is a great time to buy.

Many Dyson models I love are on sale for the long weekend. This weekend’s sales include Dyson’s latest robot vacuum and the PencilVac that I can’t stop using, and my overall favorites like the V15 Detect and Gen5 Detect, and more models that our team has loved using. Read on to learn about every Dyson on sale I’ll be buying this weekend.

The best Dyson vacuums on sale for Memorial Day

Best Dyson for the price

If you’re looking for the best features at the best price, I already recommend the Dyson V15 Detect when it’s not on sale, which makes it an even better time to buy it. You’ll get both a fluffy optic cleaner head and a digital motorized cleaner head to use for hard floors, carpet, or rugs, trigger controls, and details about the particles you suck up while vacuuming. It’s lightweight and easy to use anywhere in the house, and the hour-long battery life should be plenty for cleaning the entire house.

a more powerful dyson

Dyson’s more powerful stick vacuum is the Gen5Detect, which is a great option 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 top vacuum for pet hair for a reason) and it has a HEPA filter to keep allergens inside the vacuum instead of being released back into the air. It comes with an actual power button, so you don’t need to hold down the trigger button the whole time to use it. Similar to the V15 Detect, it comes with both a digital motorbar cleaner head and a fluffy optic cleaner head for use on carpet and hard floors respectively. You also get two more attachments, as well as a built-in dusting and crevice tool (it’s nice not to have to wonder where this attachment is!) This is an expensive vacuum, but worth the investment when it’s on sale.

If you only have hard floors

I shouldn’t like PencilVac so much, but I find myself reaching for it often, and I think its capabilities are worth it when it’s on sale. What makes it so much easier to hold than my other stick vacuums is how easy it is to store and keep it charged with the freestanding charging base, letting it stand wherever I like in my home as long as there’s an outlet nearby. There are two versions of the PencilVac, Fluffy and FluffyCones, the latter featuring a design with fluffy cone-shaped rollers to best collect debris. It’s limited to hard floors only and has a short battery life, but I love how maneuverable and lightweight this vacuum is. It’s generally priced very high for its capabilities, and even on sale, it’s not what I would call cheap, but it is a great, quick daily vacuum.

Dyson’s latest robot vac

Dyson’s latest robot vacuum, the Spot+Scrub AI, is its first robot that works as both a vacuum and a mop. It has a large base station that reminds me of Dyson’s vacuums, as the dry debris canister is clear and round like you’d see attached to a Dyson stick vacuum or one of its upright models. It does a good job of mopping and vacuuming, and can learn multiple floors, and navigation has improved since the older Dyson 306 Vis Nav. Still, this isn’t perfect navigation, as the camera sits below the top of the vacuum and doesn’t always see low-profile furniture that it will hit. If you don’t have a lot of lowly furniture (or a lot of IKEA pieces like me), this vacuum might be perfect for you.

a stick vac and mop

If you want a vacuum that also works as a mop, look no further than this version of the V15 Detect that’s also on sale for the holiday weekend. The V15s Detect Submariner comes with a Submariner Wet Roller Head that transforms it from a regular Dyson vacuum (which still comes with both a fluffy optic cleaner head and a digital motorized 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 to it; This V15s is designed to work with this Submariner head. You’ll fill the small reservoir on the roller head with water and start mopping, but you’ll have to wash the mop head by hand afterward, which is a little dirty.

handheld dyson only

If you don’t want to spend a lot, but want a Dyson that’s super portable and great for stairs, cars, and even boats, the Dyson Car+Boat is made for that. After all, it’s in the name. This handheld vacuum only packs solid power and has great battery life for a handheld vacuum. It uses trigger-style controls like the V15 Detect, which I actually find ideal for cleaning compact spaces like stairs and cars so you don’t have to worry about turning it off when you go around the car or to the next set of stairs. This is an affordable way to get into the Dyson ecosystem, especially since it’s on sale.
