The GHI has tested every Dyson product and these are the ones we recommend
You know you're an adult when you dream of owning a Dyson. From the sleek, effective vacuums to the now cult Supersonic Hair Dryer, and the range of home environment tech, encompassing powerful air purifiers, fans and heaters (sometimes all in one), the brand has built a reputation for innovative, high performance gadgets.
Our experts at the Good Housekeeping Institute have been testing Dyson products for well over two decades now and have put almost 50 appliances through their paces in that time, so we like to think we know a thing or two about which ones should be top of your wish list.
We have also done the research to help you decide which gadget is right for your home – because Dyson products don’t come cheap. Whether you’re looking for a brand new vacuum or you fancy adding an Airwrap to your morning routine, they will set you back hundreds, making them a significant commitment.
That’s why we’ve curated this guide, bringing you all the best Dyson products in one place, including robot vacuums, hair appliances and more. If you're lucky, you may even bag some Black Friday savings if you shop during November...
If you’re replacing an existing vacuum or home appliance, there are plenty of places for you to safely recycle your old one. Find your nearest electrical recycling point, or read our guide on how to donate or dispose of your appliances and tech for extra guidance.
Which is the best Dyson vacuum?
Fantastic performance, great design and a powerful design are all features we've come to expect from a Dyson vacuum, but which one is the best value buy?
As with anything, the best product for you comes down to your individual needs and lifestyle. You may want a Dyson with a speedy charging time (like the Dyson Cyclone V10 Absolute) so you can get hoovering as soon as possible, or you may prefer one with a large capacity, such as the Dyson V11 Outsize, so you don’t have to empty the vacuum as often. Or perhaps you just want a robot to do it all for you?
What you’ll notice about the Dyson products below is that they’re all cordless. This is because the company announced it was focusing on smaller, battery-powered models in 2018 and has since stopped developing new corded vacuum models. Cordless vacuums are light, convenient and mean you don’t have to keep stopping to switch power outlets as you move round the house.
Best Dyson cordless stick vacuums
The Dyson Gen5detect is our current overall best buy (a joint winner alongside the Samsung Bespoke Jet Pro Extra). But if you don’t want to splash out on the latest tech, there are plenty of other Dyson models that still offer great performance, at slightly lower price tags. Check out our experts' top-rated picks below to find the right one for your household.
Best of the rest: Dyson robots, uprights and more
It’s true that these days Dyson is best known for its stick vacuums, but it also boasts some trusty upright vacuums if you need a bigger capacity, and even a robot vacuum, if you don't want to lift a finger. Here's our experts' best of the rest.
The best Dyson air purifiers, tower fans and heaters
As we become increasingly aware of the importance of good air quality, more and more of us have turned to air purifiers for help in reducing pollutants in our homes. Indeed, according to Dyson’s own Global Air Quality Connected Data report, the UK experienced worse air quality indoors than outside for 11 out of 12 months in 2022, with everything from wood burners, gas cooking, pollen, pet fur and dust contributing to higher pollution levels. That's where air purifiers come in, using high-quality filters to remove pollutants.
Dyson’s air treatment products include a range of purifiers, humidifiers, fans and heaters, as well as some devices that combine functions to tackle several jobs at once. Shop all our tried and tested air products below.
Dyson lighting
In 2020, Dyson entered the lighting market with its Solarcycle Morph. It’s a lamp that tracks natural daylight and intelligently adapts light levels to align with your surroundings. It’s available as a floor and a desk lamp, but is it worth the investment? The Good Housekeeping Institute reviewed it to find out.
Dyson hair care: Airwraps, Dyson hair dryers and more
In 2016, Dyson took the leap into hair care and we’re oh-so-glad it did. Now with a range of hair dryers, straighteners, and multi-purpose stylers, Dyson has certainly got its grips on the beauty world.
But the premium price tags can make shopping Dyson’s range of hair care products daunting. Luckily, our Good Housekeeping Institute experts love trialling the latest launches – here’s their verdict on what's worth a spot on your dressing table.
Why you should trust the Good Housekeeping Institute
