Recent Dyson models have all crossed the $1,000 threshold, pricing many people out of the premium vacuum market entirely. If you’re not ready to spend that much on a cleaning appliance, older Dyson models still carry the brand’s engineering excellence while remaining far more accessible than newer releases. The Dyson V8 Plus is the oldest model still in active production after several years on the market, and it’s become the absolute best-seller in Dyson’s lineup thanks to its exceptional value proposition. Amazon has dropped it to a record low of $299 for Prime Big Deal Days, down from the typical $450 price point. This deal undercuts even Dyson’s own website where the V8 Plus sells at full retail.

Motorbar Technology Solves the Hair Wrapping Problem
The biggest pain with older vacuum cleaners is hair getting wrapped on the brush roll which requires you to interrupt cleaning mid-stream to cut stuck hair loose with scissors. The V8 Plus features Dyson’s Motorbar cleaner head and boasts a de-tangling feature that removes automatically wrapped long hair and pet hair when you vacuum without effort. Internal combs aligned along the brush bar draw hair off the brush bristles and deposit it directly into the dust box rather than allowing it to pile up and hinder brush rotation. The Motorbar head operates on all floor surfaces, effortlessly gliding from hardwood, tile, to carpet without manual adjustment or head changes.
The V8 Plus provides a full 40 minutes of steady 115AW suction power on its regular mode which is sufficient time to finish a whole small house on a single battery charge. The fade-free performance provides equal suction across the entire discharge cycle of the battery instead of steadily tapering off like lower-end cordless vacuum cleaners do. That means the final room you vacuum receives the same robust suction power that the first one did.
The two power modes enable a user to find a performance/runtime equilibrium. Powerful mode gives you the ideal combination of suction power and battery preservation for everyday cleaning jobs, which lengthens the battery’s overall lifespan due to the reduction of unnecessary stress. Max mode boosts the suction intensity for tough chores like ground-in soil on welcome mat or pet hair stuck into furniture.
The light weight and cordless nature of the V8 Plus make it absolutely easy to maneuver around furniture, carry up stairs, and store between uses. The wall dock is included with the vacuum and attaches to any wall and charges the vacuum, but keeps it at-the-ready, which eliminates the storage problem large upright vacuums create.
The vacuum switches to handheld mode by releasing the main wand which makes it a portable tool for cleaning car interiors, stairs, and furniture without carrying the entire stick vacuum. Super-performance whole-machine filtration traps 99.99% of particles down to 0.3 microns which encompasses the majority of allergens, dust mites, and pet dander.
For $299 on Prime Big Deal Days, you’re getting actual Dyson design and performance for less than many mid-range brands charge for lesser cordless vacuums.
