Dyson V8 Advanced is the upgraded version of my trusty vacuum, and has £100 off right now
I own the original V8 vacuum, and it's one of the best investments I've ever made.
Dyson makes some of the best cordless vacuum cleaners on the market, but they're undoubtedly expensive, so when we spot a deal, we're all over it. Currently the Dyson V8 Advanced Vacuum is reduced from £329.99 to £229.99 - that's an impressive £100 discount - thanks to the brand's January sale.
As someone who has owned the original iteration, Dyson's V8 Cordless Vacuum Cleaner, for nearly four years, I can wholeheartedly recommend Dyson devices. My vacuum cleaner is convenient, lightweight and so easy to use, in fact, it's one of the best investments I've ever made.
This cordless vacuum cleaner promises to deliver Dyson's most powerful suction across the V8 models, along with a lengthy 40-minute battery life and low noise motor.
This £100 discount is too good to pass up, so I've got the lowdown on the Dyson V8 Advanced Vacuum that's currently on offer and how it differs from my classic V8 model.
The difference between the Dyson V8 and V8 Advanced
Sometimes different model names can be confusing and it doesn't help that many of the Dyson cordless vacuum cleaners look strikingly similar.
✅ What's the same: Both the Dyson V8 Cordless Vacuum Cleaner, which I own, and the Dyson V8 Advanced Vacuum share a lot of the same features; they both have a 40-minute run time, to charge fully takes five hours, and both have a dustbin capacity of 0.54 litres, along with the same dimensions (H125.6 x L22.1 x W25cm).
Both models also come with three detachable heads, a motorbar cleaner head, crevice tool, combination tool - plus, a docking station and charger.
Best of all, both are able to get into those hard-to-reach, narrow or high-up spaces thanks to the flexible and lightweight vacuum stick. They also quickly transform into a handheld device, making the vacuum a truly versatile gadget that can clean both your home and car.
🆕 What's different: The difference between the Dyson V8 Cordless Vacuum Cleaner and the Dyson V8 Advanced Vacuum is the suction power.
The former has 115 air watts of suction, while the Advanced version has 130 air watts - the highest in the Dyson V8 range. This means it's even more efficient at lifting and removing pet hair, dirt, dust and more from the deepest of fibres in carpets, upholstery and car seats.

💸 Reasons to buy a Dyson V8 Vacuum
I've owned my Dyson V8 Cordless Vacuum Cleaner for years and find it works brilliantly on my mix of hard wood and carpeted floors in my flat. There's no fiddly set up or assembly when the box arrives, and the accompanying docking station allows you to hang it up on the wall for a clutter-free space.
The attachment I most like to use most is the detangling motor cleaning head, which is ideal for covering large surface areas, such as the kitchen or living room floor. The clever ball in-between the head and the stick also allows you to pivot around corners and sharp edges efficiently and easily.
Upgrading to a cordless vacuum has truly been a game-changer, and dare I say, it even makes me look forward to the weekly clean.
The crevice tool comes a close second. It's a long-angled attachment that sucks up dust from the tightest of spaces, skirting boards, carpet edges and bookshelves, you name it.
When the bin needs emptying, there's no faffing around, you simply hold it over your kitchen bin, click the button, and the base will spring open and all the contents will drop into your bin, without making any mess.
