A Dyson V8 Absolute deal at Walmart has brought the cordless stick vacuum down to $299.99, according to NBC Selected. The shopping site reported the sale as roughly $290 off, making it a notable markdown on a Dyson model aimed at pet hair, hard floors and carpet.
NBC Selected said Dyson products are not discounted often, and its Walmart product card listed the V8 Absolute at $299.99 compared with $599.99. NBC Selected also pointed to an Amazon price of $509.90 for the same vacuum at the time of its report.
What is the Dyson V8 Absolute deal at Walmart?
The deal is for the Dyson V8 Absolute Cordless Vacuum in silver and nickel, sold through Walmart. NBC Selected reported the current Walmart price as just under $300 and described the savings as $290 from its regular price.
The vacuum has an average 4.3-star rating from more than 5,000 Walmart shoppers, according to NBC Selected. Reviewers cited by NBC Selected frequently mentioned suction power, easy handling and pet-hair pickup as reasons they liked the model.
What the Dyson V8 Absolute does
NBC Selected described the V8 Absolute as a lightweight cordless stick vacuum made for both fast cleanups and more involved cleaning jobs. The vacuum has two power settings, allowing users to choose a mode based on the surface or mess, according to the report.
The model is designed to move around tight areas, stairs and corners, NBC Selected said. Its cordless build is meant to make it easier to carry from room to room without plugging and unplugging during a cleaning session.
For pet owners, NBC Selected highlighted the vacuum’s conical brush bar, which is designed to limit hair tangling around the roller. The report said that feature is intended to help with shedding on carpets, upholstered furniture and pet beds.
The V8 Absolute also comes with a two-in-one wide nozzle and brush tool, according to NBC Selected. That attachment lets users shift between surfaces without repeatedly changing tools.
Is the Dyson V8 Absolute deal worth it?
NBC Selected framed the sale as worthwhile because it combines a large discount, cordless use and pet-hair features. The site also said the vacuum empties through a mechanism that pushes dust and debris out of the bin, reducing direct contact with dirt.
When not in use, the vacuum stores on a wall-mounted charging dock that also holds its tools, according to NBC Selected. The report said the model uses lightweight materials, which is part of its appeal for routine cleaning.
NBC Selected added one caution for deal shoppers: the same vacuum had been on sale for $280 for several days last month. The site said that suggests the price has risen since that earlier low, though the current Walmart price remains far below the listed regular price.
NBC Selected disclosed that it may earn a commission when readers buy through its links and said its commerce coverage is selected independently. Bethany Heitman, identified by NBC Selected as a commerce editor covering lifestyle, home and wellness, reported the deal.
