Late August is prime time to buy a Dyson, and not just because there are several Dyson deals live right now — though that does help.

It's still summer-y enough for playing outside dirt, mowing the lawn grass, and leftover beach sand to make its way onto your floors. However, crunchy leaf season is right around the corner, and having a cordless vacuum at the ready will be a game-changer. Or perhaps you're more so fearing the kickoff to fall allergy season. If you haven't upgraded to an air purifier or a vacuum with a HEPA filter yet, the Dyson models on sale this week are your sign to set yourself up for success already.

I don't have a seasonal spiel about Dyson's hair tools — having your hair on point is kind of a year round thing, so whenever the urge to upgrade to a Dyson Supersonic, Airwrap, or Corrale strikes, you should just go for it. Luckily, refurbished versions of all three are even more affordable than usual this week.

Our top pick

Why we like it

This $449.99 sale price is just $50 away from the cheapest we've ever seen on the Mashable Choice-winning V12 Detect Slim — and that record-low has only really made an appearance during Black Friday and Cyber Monday.

In my opinion, the V12 Detect Slim is the best Dyson for most people because it packs the most crucial Dyson features into an affordable package that barely weighs more than five pounds — the ideal weight for one hand usage, especially in handheld mode. Easily the best part about the V12 Detect Slim is its inclusion of Dyson's green laser, which highlights microscopic dust on a hard floor that you may have assumed was clean. My other favorite Dyson tool, the mini motorized cleaning tool for tackling pet hair on furniture, is also included.

Leah Stodart is a Philadelphia-based Senior Shopping Reporter at Mashable where she covers essential home tech like vacuums and TVs as well as sustainable swaps and travel. Her ever-growing experience in these categories comes in clutch when making recommendations on how to spend your money during shopping holidays like Black Friday, which Leah has been covering for Mashable since 2017.

The robot vacuum beat in particular has cemented itself as Leah's main ~thing~ across the past few years. Since 2019, her expertise has been perpetually bolstered by the meticulous eye she keeps on robot vacuum deals and new releases, but more importantly, her hands-on experience with more than 25 robot vacuums tested in her own home. (This number has probably gone up by the time you're reading this.) That at-home testing is standardized through Mashable's robot testing guide — a granular scoring rubric for assessing all aspects of owning and using a robot vacuum on the daily — that Leah created herself.

Leah graduated from Penn State University in 2016 with dual degrees in Sociology and Media Studies. When she's not writing about shopping (or shopping online for herself), she's almost definitely watching a horror movie, "RuPaul's Drag Race," or "The Office."
