My Dyson V8 cordless vacuum makes cleaning easy, and right now it's £100 off for Black Friday
This hugely popular vacuum is rarely discounted by this much.
Cordless vacuum cleaners are a godsend, and in my opinion, no brand makes them better than Dyson. I say that because I've been the proud owner of the Dyson V8 Cordless Vacuum Cleaner for nearly four years. Convenient, lightweight and so easy to use, it's one of the best investments I've ever made, and while it certainly doesn't come cheap, it's worth every penny.

It's easy to use, fast to charge and simple to clean - everything you could want from a vacuum.
💸 Reasons to buy
I live in a two-bed flat, with a mix of carpet and laminate flooring and find it works brilliantly on both, not to mention the cordless aspect is one of the best inventions ever.
There's no fiddly set up or assembly when the box arrives, and it comes complete with a combination tool, crevice tool, mini motor head, charger and docking station – the latter allows you to hang it up on the wall for a clutter-free space.
The attachment I most like to use 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 easily.
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. The suction power is ultra-strong but quiet and swiftly gets rid of dust, dirt, crumbs and hair from my carpet and leaves my laminate kitchen floor spotless.
When the bin needs emptying, there's no faffing around or dealing with dusty vacuum bags, you simply hold it over your kitchen bin, click the button, the base of it will spring open and all the contents drop into your rubbish, without making any mess.
Once fully charged, I usually get around 40 minutes of run time, which is plenty to vacuum my whole flat, but to ensure it's never low on juice, I like to keep it permanently plugged into the charger so I can use whenever needed.
My favourite aspect is how light and easy to store it is. Having previously owned a very heavy corded vacuum that only had one cleaning head and a cable that wasn't long enough to stretch from room to room, vacuuming always felt like a sweaty workout by the time I was done.
There's none of that with my swanky Dyson, and as a result I clean more, there's less mess and my whole flat looks better for it.
✋ Reasons to avoid
As much as I love my Dyson, it's not cheap, which for me is the only downside. However the V8 Cordless design that I own is hundreds of pounds cheaper than its more advanced models, including the Dyson V15 Detect Absolute Cordless Vacuum Cleaner, which usually retails for an eye-watering £699.99.
This newer V15 models hefty price tag is due to three key features – its super powerful suction, a nifty LCD screen displaying data about the cleanliness of your floors and an angled green beam that illuminates dust and dirt particles that can't be seen by the naked eye.
