Dyson V8 Absolute Cordless Vacuum, $280 (was $590)
Why do we like this deal?
We’re participating in the domestic leg of Walmart’s Summer Deals Week, which officially ends on June 28th. Popular deals so far include a powerful Milwaukee Starter battery set and one of the best camping chairs you’ll ever see for under $30. But as we approached the weekend, something changed, and the price of one of Dyson’s most powerful vacuums dropped even further, hitting more than 50% off the line.
The Dyson V8 Absolute Cordless Vacuum is now just $280, a price we’ve seen corded baggers sell for. This deal, which is online only, is snapped up hundreds of times per day by shoppers looking to get a deal on a quality, name-brand vacuum cleaner that will last a long time. Don’t just let the Dyson name sway you – shoppers have praised this stick vacuum a lot, giving it more than 3,400 perfect ratings for its “brilliant” design and ease of use.

There are plenty of stick vacuums out there today, and you probably already understand the convenience of owning one – most of them were trying to emulate the Dyson stick vacuum formula. But many of those imitations have watered down the formula, leading to some pain points that you may have also encountered. However, the Dyson V8 Absolute, arguably the brand that has made everyone want a stick vacuum, is going to give you a great overall vacuuming experience.
For example, this vacuum is lightweight, making it easy to handle up the stairs. It uses strong HEPA filtration, not the cheap option. Hair screw tool takes care of tangled hair. Its battery is powerful enough to last even a deep clean, and when you’re done, the reservoir vigorously expels dust and debris.
The main thing that differentiates the V8 Absolute from other Dyson V8 vacuums is the inclusion of a soft head roller for hardwood floors. Instead of letting sand and dust particles fly around, the way brush heads do when encountering hard floors, it picks them up. If you’re dissatisfied with typical hardwood vacuuming it’s totally worth a try, especially since replacing the heads isn’t difficult.

what shoppers are saying
Most buyers will tell you that the Dyson V8 Absolute offers “fantastic suction and mobility,” with even people suffering from arthritis and mobility problems bragging about its lightweight body and easy-to-maneuver form factor.
Other buyers expressed how they, having been fans of the brand’s work for a long time, do not regret their purchase. “I bought a Dyson V8 about 3 years ago, and it’s been great, so when I needed another cleaner for another property, I bought another one. This V8 Absolute has more attachments and is great.”
The Dyson V8 Absolute Cordless Vacuum is reduced to $280 until Walmart’s Summer Deals Week ends on June 28.
