This Dyson Vacuum Is the Perfect Spring-Cleaning Companion, and Now It's $150 Off

I love having a clean house. However, I also have a full-time job, two toddlers who are (let’s be honest) not exactly tidy, a shedding dog and a husband who tracks in dirt now and then. So you can imagine how this creates … a challenge. Thankfully, I found the Dyson V15 cordless vacuum cleaner, and it has made my life much easier — and cleaner. The Dyson V15 allows me to tackle some really tough messes around the house and, more importantly, it helps me maintain the clean living space I crave.

The Dyson V15 is on CNET’s best cordless vacuums list, was awarded a CNET Editors’ Choice Award and out-suctioned all its stick vacuum competitors in our laboratory testing. That’s a whole lot of power and performance, which is what I love about it. And yes, it also comes with a pretty hefty price tag. But right now you can get it for $150 off on Dyson’s website. That brings the price down to $600, just in time for doing those spring-season deep cleans.

Why I love my Dyson V15 vacuum

My Dyson V15 works great for quick clean-ups or deep cleans. Because it’s cordless, I appreciate not having to constantly plug and then unplug it when cleaning the upstairs and downstairs in my home. It doesn’t take up storage space because the charging docking station is mounted in our garage. It’s no surprise to me that the Dyson V15 outperformed most of its competitors during CNET’s lab testing. It is now rated as having the best suction performance for a cordless vacuum.

My Dyson also cleans my car well

My kids’ and pets’ messes aren’t contained to my house so I love how the Dyson easily converts to handheld mode, which comes in handy for suctioning up loose toddler snacks from car seats and car floors. The crevice attachment can reach those in-between spaces in my car and couch cushions.

Washable HEPA filter is a plus

I love the washable HEPA cloth filter too. No more running out of replacement filters. Simply wash it and let it dry. I also bought a backup replacement filter to use so I don’t have to wait for the original filter to dry before using my beloved Dyson on another mess.

High-performing vacuum with one flaw

My one complaint is its battery life when using it on its best suction setting: boost mode. Dyson’s boost mode works well picking up my dog’s pet hair, but it drains the battery quickly. To clean two stories in boost mode, it needs to recharge, which can take a few hours.

In the middle setting — auto mode — I can clean the upstairs and downstairs of my 2,000-square-foot home on a single charge, and it works well on hard floors and pretty good on carpet. Auto mode is fine for in-between cleanings, but boost mode works best for a deep carpet clean.
