Black Friday Dyson deals live: we’re hand-picking all the best vacuum and haircare deals

Refresh

Good morning, and welcome to the Sunday edition of TechRadar’s best Dyson Black Friday deals live blog, where we’ll be rounding up the best savings so far on Dyson vacuums, aircare, hair styling devices and alternatives for other manufacturers.

Let’s start with a little bit of advice: if you’re dropping a fair chunk of change on a costly device from a premium provider like Dyson, you’ll want to know how to properly care for it.

We’ve got a helpful guide on how to clean your Dyson cordless vacuum, so make sure to check that out before you buy – or if you’ve already ordered and you’re just that darn excited about your new gadget that you want to get ahead of the game before it arrives.

What Black Friday Dyson deals should I expect?

Black Friday Dyson deals are reliably sparse, but when they do crop up, you can often save a minimum of $100 / £100 on some of the best devices.

When it comes to vacuums, savings typically crop up on older models, especially from the popular V8 and V15 product lines, though we have seen its premium Gen5detect crop up in years previous.

Nowadays, the Dyson Airwrap will fairly reliably receive at least some kind of discount, though these can sell out very quickly, leaving behind only refurbished deals – though that’s no bad thing for the sustainability-conscious buyer. On the other hand, the now slightly aging Dyson Supersonic sees solid sales during Black Friday, with early deals already dropping the price by $120 / £120.

Elsewhere in haircare, we saw the Airstrait receive its first major discount earlier this year, slashing the price by $100 at Amazon earlier this year during Prime Day, which will hopefully see a repeat performance for Black Friday.

Last but not least is Dyson’s aircare range, which is probably its strongest suit during sales events. Every year, we see some of its popular, high-spec fans, heaters, and air purifiers significantly discounted for Black Friday, and this year should be no different, judging by the early deals.

Another brand frequently compared to Dyson, and especially during sales events, is Tineco, which offers feature-rich devices that come at lower prices.

More often, Tineco’s focus is on multi-functional, smart vacuums, whereas Dyson offers more raw power thanks to its patented cyclone technology, but there are plenty more differences to consider – read more in our comparison of Dyson vs Tineco.

While the Dyson V8 vacuum cleaner is one of Dyson’s older models, it’s still plenty powerful, and a great option if you want to save some money and don’t mind missing out on more advanced features; we still think it’s one of the best from the brand.

With a 40-minute battery life when used on its standard setting, a handy hand-held mode and a decent array of useful attachments, the V8 is a solid all-rounder made even better value for money in this year’s Black Friday deals – and in the UK, the offer is actually on a slightly newer model with improved suction.

It’s not quite a record low in the US (that was $299 in this year’s Prime Big Deals day), but in the UK it’s a price match for the lowest-ever price we saw on the 2023 edition of the Dyson V8.

Good morning, Dyson deal hunters!

There’s no doubt; Dyson’s vacuums are among the best in the game. However, in recent years Shark is coming in hot with more affordable vacuums that offer smart features and solid suction, making them a viable alternative if you’re on a budget.

Not sure if you can justify buying a Dyson vacuum this Black Friday? We’ve written a handy guide comparing the key strengths and weaknesses between models offered by Shark vs. Dyson.

Dyson Purifier Hot+Cool Formaldehyde HP09 with the label 'Big Savings'

UK deal: A personal recommendation here, the Dyson Purifier Hot+Cool Formaldehyde HP09 is a fantastic all-in-one purifier, heater and fan, earning it 4.5* in my review. Until recently, I lived in a flat with some pretty gnarly black mould, and this bad boy gave me more than just peace of mind.

In addition to cleaning your air and keeping it at a comfortable temperature, the near-live air quality data (shown both on its Liquid Crystal Display and companion app) is a real boon and helped me identify some potentially harmful products in my home. Plus, it integrates with a variety of smart home devices, meaning you can set up smart automations to cool, heat or purify your home – though you’ll need a separate air quality sensor for this, as unfortunately data from the device isn’t sent to your smart home hub.

Are Dyson haircare devices worth it?

I’ve tested almost every device in Dyson’s haircare range, and let me tell you, they are good. However, at list price, you’re mostly paying off Dyson’s R&D department for their hard work in innovating hair care. Thankfully, many devices see at least $/£100 discounted during Black Friday.

The Dyson Supersonic hairdryer started it all, releasing as Dyson’s first hair care device in 2012, and at twelve years old it sees some of the best Black Friday discounts from Dyson’s range. It offers supremely speedy drying times, convenient magnetic attachments and sleek results. It still stands as one of the best hair dryers available, though the newer Supersonic Nural packs more smart features like Scalp Protection and the energy-saving low power mode – however, we’re unlikely to see this discounted for 2024.

In case you missed it, the Dyson Airwrap remains a hugely popular and virally successful multi-styler, with the brand releasing multiple new editions to accommodate different hair types and lengths. I use mine almost every day, and I’ve definitely noticed my hair is less damaged than when I previously used a conventional hair dryer – however, for some coarser or thicker hair types, styling doesn’t hold as long as with ceramic hair tools. At its list price, it’s a big investment, however, we’ve seen prices drop by up to $120 in the US.

Some devices such as its straighteners (the Dyson Airstrait and Dyson Coralle) are certainly innovative, but won’t be a top pick for everyone, and neither typically see huge discounts over Black Friday. They work well for some specific hair types; typically medium thickness straighter or wavy hair that isn’t too porous, but otherwise might not do the job as well as conventional ceramic plates. Still, the lofty price tag makes them inferior to market-leading, traditional straighteners like our current top recommendation, the GHD Unplugged.

The hairdryer that really kickstarted Dyson’s astronomic leap into the haircare market is still near-unmatched, offering impressively speedy drying times and a comfortable drying experience thanks to its and innovative form factor. Plus, you can also use the flyaway attachment (sold seperately) to reduce unnecessary frizz in your ‘do thanks to its coanda airflow technology.

Typically, it’s a pretty pricey device, especially given there are some decent dupes now available. However, Black Friday brings the heat, knocking £80 from its list price.

Dyson V11

If you want a mid-range model from Dyson’s range of powerful vacuums, consider the Dyson V11. It packs a host of helpful features; an easy-empty bin, informative LCD screen and decent battery life, though doesn’t feature some of the super-smarts seen in some newer models. It’s plenty powerful and perfect for pet owners thanks to its detangling motor bar that works well across hardwood floors and carpets. You can also transform it into a handheld vac for quick and convenient clean-ups.

We’ve yet to see the Dyson V11 drop any lower than its current price at Amazon – and the UK has the V11 Extra at a fantastically low price, too.

Dyson’s range of vacuums is extensive; as well as several versions of its cordless and upright vacuums, there are variations of each model that come with different tools and capacities.

Navigating these can be a minefield, especially in the throes of Black Friday madness, so make sure to check out our Dyson vacuum cleaner tools guide.

Dyson Ball Animal 3 deal - don't miss!

The Dyson Ball Animal 3 is already one of the more affordable models on offer in the brand’s wide range of vacuums, but still offers much the same high-performance as we’d expect from its more premium, cordless models.

By proxy of being corded and higher-capacity, it’s a little heavier, and in our review we did find it was slightly harder to maneuver – but it makes up for this in the power department.

Is Black Friday the best time to buy Dyson products?

Generally speaking, yes. Dyson products are characterized not only by their quality, but also by the lofty price tag, and the fact there are rarely significant discounts. Luckily, you’ve got a week until the deals officially launch, so there’s time to mull over your options.

While we’ll sometimes see small price drops during other major sales, Black Friday is often the only sales event during which we’ll see discounts of any great significance.It’s worth highlighting, however, that truly great deals on certain devices like the Airwrap are especially few and far between.

Sometimes, even if a deal isn’t as good as one we’ve seen previously, it’s worth snagging an Airwrap if you’ve had it on your list for a few years.

We think the Gen5detect is one of the best vacuums available right now, impressing our reviewer with its fantastic suction and smart laser features which highlight dust that’s invisible to the eye, earning it a 5-star rating.

Dyson’s powerful Gen5detect cordless vacuum cleaner has plummeted to its record-low price in the UK, and it’s seen a decent discount in the US too:
