Dyson vacuum cleaners: every model and list price
What you get for more money
- Stronger suction and better filtration (sealed HEPA systems) for allergies and pet hair.
- Longer battery run time and removable batteries on cordless models.
- Anti-tangle brush rolls, dust sensors and LED screens.
Buying tips
- A cordless stick suits quick daily cleaning; an upright or canister is still better for large carpeted homes.
- Check the real battery life on the setting you will use: the maximum figure is usually for the lowest power.
- Older Dyson models (V8, V10, V11) are often discounted when new ones launch.
