Forget the latest devices. At Dyson, an older model is currently the best option for those looking for a high-performance vacuum cleaner, without spending too much money.
New vacuum cleaners are coming one after the other at high speed at Dyson, with ever more technical functions. On paper, it’s attractive. In real life, many are mainly looking for a device that sucks well, is easy to handle and does not break down after 6 months. Returning to the models released before the wave of lasers, screens and intelligent sensors, the experts at woman&home cite a device focused on the essentials and at a much more reasonable price.
In a medium-sized apartment or house, on parquet floors, tiles or even linoleum, this vacuum cleaner covers the essentials. The announced autonomy reaches around forty minutes in standard mode. For regular maintenance, this duration allows you to do several rooms, or even the entire home, without rushing. Charging remains fast on the scale of conventional domestic use. Lightness also plays an important role. Climbing stairs, going over baseboards, cleaning cobwebs from the ceiling or vacuuming the car interior becomes easier. On fine dust, such as that found in the kitchen or near the entrance, the suction remains precise and does not disperse the particles around the brush. Finally, with larger debris, you just need to move a little slower to collect everything neatly, without sending the dirt to the other end of the room.
Another advantage with this device: you don’t pay for functions that many almost never use. No laser to reveal invisible dust, no color screen, no sensor that adapts the power in real time, nor a floor washing system. For certain profiles, these options may be of interest, but they quickly add to the cost.
Here, the money is invested in the engine, the airflow, the overall design and the solidity of the whole thing. As a result, for everyday cleaning, the performance of the Dyson V8 Cyclone remains very close to that of much more expensive models from the same brand. Its price? 299 euros, compared to 1,199 euros for the latest model.
Note that maintenance remains simple, the accessories cover the classic needs and the format is easily stored thanks to a wall station. The dust bin is not huge and requires regular emptying during major cleanings. In short, it’s the model that ticks all the boxes today according to experts.
