We all love the convenience and portability of a cordless vacuum, but we also appreciate having some extra power when we need it to clean particularly dusty or dirty areas. Fortunately, Dyson does too, which is why its V8 cordless vacuum has a slim form factor that allows you to use it anywhere around the house, but also comes with an extra bit of power when you really need to go to town on spot cleaning.

At $170 off its original price during Amazon Prime Day, it’s a great time to get a V8 and boost your vacuum power around the house. Let’s check out the features that puts this Dyson above the competition.

Buy the Dyson V8 Cordless Vacuum for $299.99 (36% off)!

The Dyson V8 is built to work hard: its lithium ion battery gives you up to 40 minutes of run time, and its motorbar head can handle just about every surface inside the house, from deep rug to wood flooring. It also comes with handy tools, including a crevice tool for reaching into tight spaces and a hair screw tool that clears out all hairs, including pet hairs, in a flash — a very useful accessory if you have a furry family member. Its HEPA filter also does a great job of keeping your home clear of allergens as well as clean, as its filter absorbs 99.99% of particles down to 0.3 microns of size.

While the Dyson V8 comes with a stick attachment so you can use it as a regular vacuum cleaner, you can also detach the stick so it becomes a high-power hand vacuum. And speaking of power, you can switch between a normal vacuum mode and a heavy-duty MAX mode that scoops up hard-to-grab dust, dirt and small trash with ease. We also appreciate the vacuum’s no-touch emptying process—just hold the vacuum over a bin, pull a handle and the bottom of the vacuum drops open to empty all dust and debris. When the vacuum isn’t in use, the provided wall docking station can hold it and all its accessories in a discreet corner or closet while it’s charging, without wasting valuable space.

Shoppers rave about everything the Dyson V8 offers, including its long running time, suction power, light weight and maneuverability and its effectiveness on all surfaces. Plus, reviewers say it’s “incredible for pet hair”! For a multi-purpose vacuum that works just as well as a handheld cleaner as it does as a high-powered stand-up machine, you can’t do better than the V8, so pick one up while it’s at its lowest price of the year!
