Picking a Dyson vacuum
How much cordless do you need?
The lighter sticks are made for flats and quick daily tidy-ups. Moving up the range brings stronger suction, longer run times and a display of the remaining charge and power mode. Detect models shine a light across hard floors to reveal fine dust, count the particles they collect and turn the power up or down to suit.
Pet owners
Animal versions are tuned for carpet and pet hair, with stronger cleaner heads and extra tools in the box. Many Dyson heads are designed so that hair doesn't wind round the brush bar.
Hard floors and washing
A soft roller head gathers fine dust and larger bits from hard floors in one pass. If you'd like to wash the floor too, go for a Submarine or one of the wet floor cleaners.
Sticking with a cable
A corded Ball upright or Big Ball cylinder holds full suction for as long as the job takes, which makes sense in a bigger home.
Picking a purifier or fan
Dyson purifiers pair a HEPA filter for fine particles with activated carbon to absorb smells. Hot+Cool models also warm the room in winter, Humidify+Cool versions add moisture when the air is dry, and De-NOx and Formaldehyde models target extra pollutants. For large open-plan spaces, look at Big+Quiet. Many connect to the MyDyson app, where you can read air quality and run the machine from your phone.
Before you order
- Charging. Cordless models live on a wall dock or floor stand, which needs a socket nearby.
- Filters. Purifier filters are replaced over time; each product page names the one it takes.
- Room size. Measure the room a purifier will serve, and stand it where air can move freely around it.

Dyson: your questions answered
Which Dyson cordless should I choose?
Light models suit flats and quick cleans. Higher ones add suction, longer run times and dust detection, and Animal versions are set up for carpet and pet hair.
What does Detect do?
A light on the floor head picks out fine dust on hard floors. The vacuum counts the particles it collects and adjusts its suction to match.
What is a Dyson Submarine?
A cordless vacuum that comes with a second, wet roller head, so the same machine can vacuum and then wash hard floors.
Can a Dyson purifier heat or cool the room?
Purifier Cool models double as a fan, Hot+Cool adds heating, and Humidify+Cool puts moisture back into dry air.
How often do purifier filters need replacing?
That depends on how much it runs and how polluted the air is. Connected models report filter life in the MyDyson app, and the product page names the replacement.
Are Dyson vacuums bagless?
Yes. Cyclones spin the dust out of the air into a bin that you empty.
