Amazon Prime Day is in full swing, and amongst the deals are some great-looking price drops on a wide range of Dyson gadgets. I wanted to see if these offers were as good as they looked, so I embarked on an extensive research journey, looking at what was on sale at Amazon, and if there were better deals available from the likes of Walmart, Best Buy, and direct from Dyson.
• See all of today's best Amazon deals
Below, you'll see what I found – I'll go through the best deal options for a selection of Dyson's most popular products, including its cordless vacuums, haircare gadgets like the Airwrap and Dyson Supersonic hair dryer, and fans. In many cases, Amazon offers the cheapest price, but you might be getting better value elsewhere, in terms of the version on sale or the included accessories.
Read on for the best places to buy your new Dyson gadgets this Prime Day, at Amazon and beyond. Or, for more hot deals from other brands, head to our Amazon Prime Day live hub.
Dyson Airwrap styler
The Airwrap is Dyson's iconic multistyler. It has a curl barrel that uses directed airflow (the 'Coanda effect') to shape hair into curls, without the need for the extreme heat of tongs. It also operates as a hair dryer, or you can add various styling tools to add volume, smooth, and shape your hair.
Alternative deals
- Dyson Airwrap i.d.: was
$599.99now $499.99 at Dyson.com
The Dyson deal is on an updated version of this styler: the Dyson Airwrap i.d. Until about a week ago, this was the newest model, and it's a significant upgrade on the version on sale at Amazon.
The i.d. has a switch that launches a curling sequence – wrap, curl, or cool shot – to give consistent, long-lasting results with minimal effort. You'll also get a lot more tools than you would with the Amazon version. You can pick from a Curly+Coily or Straight+Wavy bundle, and both have a wide selection of styling attachments.
Is that worth an extra $100 on an already-expensive gadget? You decide.
Dyson V8 cordless vacuum
The V8 cordless is the oldest model in the current lineup, but it remains extremely popular, thanks to its simple but very effective design, with strong suction and great maneuverability.
All the versions I'll highlight here come with a Hair screw tool borrowed from newer models – it's perfect for getting hair (and dust) off furniture. You can read all about this vacuum in our Dyson V8 review.
Alternative deals
- V8 Absolute: $349.99 (was $519.99) at Walmart
- V8 Absolute: $349.99 (was $519.99) at Dyson.com
- V8 Extra: $418.99 (was $469.99) at Walmart
There are other V8 deals about, but Amazon's offer is the best value in my opinion. For instance, if you opt for the V8 Absolute from Walmart or Dyson.com, the only difference is that this version also has a Fluffy floorhead specifically for hard floors. That doesn't feel like enough to warrant the extra $50... although you don't seem to be able to pick up this cleaner head separately, so it might be worth it if you have a lot of delicate hard flooring.
Meanwhile, the V8 Extra at Walmart comes with five extra tools compared to the V8 Plus – these include a Mattress tool and Extension hose (this version does not include a Fluffy floorhead, though). Are those tools worth an extra $120? Maybe for some people, but I suspect not most.
Dyson V15 Detect cordless vacuum
The V15 Detect is the second-best Dyson vacuum based on specifications and offers advanced features such as dust particle sensing and automatic suction adjustment. Plus, there's a dedicated Fluffy cleaner head for hard floors, and here it boasts a laser to show you just how much dog hair you have lurking under your cabinets. Head to our V15 Detect review to find out more.
Alternative deals
- V15 Detect Plus: was
$749.99now $569.99 at Amazon
The Plus version is on sale at Amazon, and it is $30 cheaper, but you get a load more tools with the Best Buy version. On top of the tools you get with the Amazon version, you'll also get a Reach under tool (to allow the wand to bend for getting under furniture), a wand clip (for on-vac storage of tools), and a Combination tool. The Crevice tool is also an intriguing-looking 'Light pipe' version. If you don't need all those, go for the Amazon version and save a few bucks.
Dyson Supersonic hair dryer
The Supersonic was the hair dryer that launched Dyson into the haircare market with a bang. Rather than a traditional, bulky shape, it has a streamlined silhouette with most of the weight in the handle, making it very easy to direct the airflow.
Alternative deals
- Dyson Supersonic (Refurbished): $209.99 at Dyson.com
- Dyson Supersonic Nural: was
$499.99now $399.99 at Dyson.com
If you head to Dyson.com, you have a couple of other options to choose from. If you're happy to go for a refurbished model (renewed, hygienically cleaned, and tested, with a stamp of approval from Dyson), then you could save a lot of cash.
Alternatively, if you fancy splashing out a bit more, there's an excellent price drop on a newer version – the Supersonic Nural. This clever dryer features attachment memory and a scalp-protecting mode that adjusts temperatures depending on how close the dryer is to your head.
Dyson V11 cordless vacuum
The V11 isn't the latest and greatest Dyson vacuum, but for many people, it'll offer the best balance of price to features. There's strong suction, a supremely maneuverable floorhead, and useful features like an LCD screen to provide information.
Alternative deals
- Dyson V11 Extra: was
$599.99now $449.99 at Dyson.com - Dyson V11 Extra: was
$599.99now $449.99 at Walmart
The other V11 deals kicking around this Prime Day are on the Extra model. This costs $50 more at the discounted prices, but comes with quite a few more detail tools. On top of those included with the Origin, you'll also get a Combination tool, Stubborn dirt brush, Up-top adaptor, Extension hose, Wand clip, and Mattress tool.
Dyson Purifier Cool TP07 fan
The Dyson Purifier Cool TP07 is an air purifier that doubles as a fan, allowing it to occupy floor space all year round. It comes fitted with a HEPA H13 filter (about the highest grade you'll find in consumer appliances) and has an auto mode that continuously monitors air quality and switches on or off as required to keep the air pure. It can oscillate nearly a full rotation (350 degrees), and if you don't want it to cool directly at you, you can switch to Diffused mode so the air comes out of the back of the machine instead.
Alternative deals
- Purifier Cool TP07 (Black/Nickel): was
$649.99now $349.99 at Dyson.com
This is precisely the same fan, in a different colorway. It has the same discount, but comes directly from Dyson.com.
Dyson Gen5detect cordless vacuum
The Gen5 Detect is the newest and best Dyson vacuum based on specs. It has the longest battery life you'll find anywhere in the cordless vacuum range, offering up to 70 minutes of cleaning on a single charge. It also boasts an upgraded motor, making it more powerful than its predecessor, the V15 Detect.
Like that model, you'll get automatic suction adjustment based on how dirty the floor is, real-time dust reports on the LCD screen, and a Fluffy floorhead fitted with a bright laser to illuminate every last speck of dirt. Head to our Dyson Gen5detect review to find out more.
Alternative deals
In the run-up to Prime Day and on the first day, Amazon also had the Gen5 Detect deal (albeit without the extra Furniture cleaning kit), but it has since sold out.
