Dyson has launched an early Black Friday sale with some seriously strong discounts on cordless vacuums. If you want to push the boat out on an ultra hi-tech model, you, of course, have plenty of options. Still, the deals that caught my eye were at the simpler end of the lineup – specifically, three of Dyson's lightweight, less-flashy vacuums have had major discounts on their already affordable price tags.

The best deal is on the V12 Detect Slim, which is down to $399.99 (was $729.99) at Dyson. This vacuum is actually surprisingly advanced, given its price and weight – it offers automatic suction adjustment and has a secondary floorhead that's kitted out with a laser to illuminate hidden dirt. If you want the lightest and cheapest option, however, it's the Dyson V9 Motorbar for $269.99 (was $599.99). You can also pick up the V8 Advanced for a bargain price right now.

Read on for more info on these deals. They're just three notable price drops in what's shaping up to be one of the strongest early Black Friday sales periods we've seen – the big day isn't for a couple of weeks, but there are plenty of excellent deals live now.

Today's best Dyson Black Friday vacuum deals

Dyson V9 Motorbar
Dyson V9 Motorbar: was $599.99 now $269.99 at Dyson Inc.

The cheapest and lightest option is the V9 Motorbar, with $330 off. It's a newer option in the Dyson lineup, offering solid suction specs, a user-friendly screen, and a very lightweight build. It's an ideal choice for smaller homes and anyone on a tighter budget, but the V12 (below) is higher-specced and more advanced. This deal is also available at Amazon and Best Buy.

Dyson V12 Detect Slim
Dyson V12 Detect Slim: was $729.99 now $399.99 at Dyson Inc.

My pick of the deals is the V12 Detect Slim, with $330 off. It's the most powerful of these three lightweight vacuums, and the most advanced – it has a dust detection sensor for automatic adjustment, and comes with a separate soft head for hard floors. It also has the longest runtimes of the bunch. It's the best value option, but the V9 (above) is cheaper in these early Black Friday sales. This deal is also available at Best Buy.

Dyson V8 Absolute
Dyson V8 Absolute: was $589.99 now $299.99 at Dyson Inc.

The V8 is a classic within the Dyson range, and it's had a $290 price cut ahead of Black Friday. It's one of Dyson's bestsellers, but based on specs and features, there's no reason to buy it over the two models above, unless you just especially like the V8. This deal is also available at Best Buy.

What do I need to know about these vacuums?

While they're not the highest-specced models in the lineup, the models I've highlighted above are the best Dyson vacuums for smaller homes or anyone on a tighter budget. All offer solid suction specs and Dyson's high build quality in a lightweight and nimble package.

The V8 is the oldest model in the current Dyson lineup, and the Advanced is a slightly updated version with stronger suction specs than the original. It's very simple in design but remains extremely popular.

The Dyson V12 Detect Slim joined the lineup alongside the V15 Detect in 2021, and has some of the same advanced features as that model while being more compact and affordable.

The Dyson V9 Motorbar is a new addition to the range and looks to offer something for more budget-conscious buyers. It's already attracted a number of discounts.
