Dyson

(38% OFF!)
- POWERFUL SUCTION FOR A PROPER DEEP CLEAN: Worried a cordless vacuum won't clean as well as a corded hoover? The Dyson V8 Origin cordless vacuum cleaner delivers 130AW of suction¹ from a Dyson digital motor spinning at up to 110,000rpm. 15 Root Cyclone cyclones generate powerful centrifugal forces to fling dust and debris out of the airflow and into the bin. The Motorbar cleaner head drives stiff nylon bristles deep into carpets to remove ground-in dirt, while carbon fibre filaments pick up fine dust from hard floors – one powerful vacuum for carpets, rugs, laminate, tiles and wooden floors.
- DE-TANGLING MOTORBAR – PET HAIR HOOVER - NO MORE HAIR WRAP: Tired of cutting tangled hair off your hoover's brush bar? The De-tangling Motorbar cleaner head uses polycarbonate hair removal vanes that lift and spiral long hair and pet hair straight into the bin, so hair doesn't wrap around the brush bar. It is ideal for dog and cat owners, shedding breeds and long-haired households. Pick up pet hair from carpets, rugs and hard floors in one pass, then switch to handheld mode to lift fur from pet beds, sofas and car seats. A pet hair vacuum cleaner that keeps on cleaning instead of clogging.
- LIGHTWEIGHT AND EASY TO MANOEUVRE: Heavy, bulky hoovers make cleaning a chore. Weighing around 2.5kg⁴, the V8 Origin is a lightweight cordless vacuum that is easy to lift, carry upstairs and steer around furniture, table legs and tight corners. There's no cord to trip over, plug in or untangle, and no heavy cylinder to drag from room to room. It is comfortable for quick daily tidy-ups and whole-home cleans alike, and easy to use for all the family. The slim wand reaches under beds and sofas, and up to skirting boards, curtain tops and cobwebs.
- UP TO 40 MINUTES RUN TIME² – CLEAN THE WHOLE HOME: Frustrated by batteries that die halfway through a clean? The V8 Origin gives you up to 40 minutes of run time² from a single charge, enough to clean from the kitchen and hallway to the bedrooms and stairs. Choose from two power modes: use the standard mode for longer everyday cleaning, or switch to the higher power mode for stubborn dirt and deep-pile rugs. When you're done, click it back onto the wall dock to recharge, so it's ready for the next spill.
- VERSATILE HANDHELD VACUUM CLEANER - UPHOLSTERY AND CAR CLEANING: Transform the Dyson V8 Origin into a powerful handheld car vacuum cleaner cordless in one click, tackling stairs, sofas, mattresses, shelves and car interiors without needing a separate hand hoover or car vacuum, while the combination tool switches from wide nozzle to soft brush for precise dusting on upholstery, keyboards and vents so busy households can handle everyday mess in tight spaces with one compact handheld upholstery cleaner that fits effortlessly into your cleaning routine.
- WHOLE-MACHINE FILTRATION FOR CLEANER AIR: Many vacuums blow fine dust back into the room. The V8 Origin's fully sealed, whole-machine filtration captures 99.99% of microscopic particles as small as 0.3 microns³, including allergens such as pollen and dust. It expels cleaner air back into your home, which is ideal for allergy sufferers, pet owners and families with young children. The washable filter means no replacement filters to buy for everyday use. Simply rinse it at least once a month to keep suction strong.
- BAGLESS BIN EMPTYING CONVENIENCE: The Dyson V8 Origin hoover vacuum cleaner combines powerful cordless cleaning with a 0.54L bagless bin and hygienic point-and-shoot dirt ejector. Dust, debris and hair are released in one clean motion, reducing contact with dirt. Easily transforms from a vacuum cleaner into a hand held hoover, making this hoover hand held vacuum cordless ideal for floors, stairs, upholstery and cars.
- READY WHEN YOU ARE – WALL DOCK STORAGE: A cordless hoover is only useful if it's charged and to hand. The included wall dock stores and charges the V8 Origin in one place, and keeps the combination tool neatly clipped on. It frees up cupboard space and means the vacuum is always ready for the next spill, pet accident or after-dinner crumbs. A full charge takes up to 5 hours, and the battery can stay on the dock between cleans. It's a compact, space-saving cordless stick vacuum that suits flats, family homes and smaller spaces.
- WHICH DYSON VACUUM IS RIGHT FOR YOU? The Dyson V8 Origin is the essential Dyson cordless vacuum cleaner, combining powerful suction with a lightweight design for everyday whole-home cleaning. It comes with the De-tangling Motorbar cleaner head for carpets, hard floors and pet hair, plus a combination tool for above-floor cleaning and use as a handheld vacuum for cars, stairs, upholstery and tight spaces. If you're looking for a dedicated car vacuum with maximum portability, Dyson's compact handheld models may be a better fit.
- IMPORTANT INFORMATION: ¹ Suction power measured in the highest power mode [confirm 130AW vs 115AW for this SKU]. ² Up to 40 minutes' run time measured with a non-motorised tool; run time varies with power mode and cleaner head used. ³ Captures 99.99% of particles as small as 0.3 microns; tested to ASTM F1977 in the highest power setting at the inlet. ⁴ Approximate weight [confirm for this SKU]. ⁵ V8 Cyclone run time in Eco mode in handheld configuration.

General information about Vacuum:
Vacuum cleaners, commonly known as vacuums, are essential household appliances designed to clean floors and surfaces by sucking up dirt, dust, and debris. They utilize suction power created by an electric motor, which draws in air along with particles and deposits them into a dust bag or canister for later disposal. Vacuums come in various types, including upright, canister, robotic, and handheld models, each catering to different cleaning needs and preferences.
Types of vacuums:
1. Upright Vacuums: This type of vacuum cleaner is the most popular and commonly used. It is characterized by a handle, a cleaning head with brushes and a motor, and a dust bag or canister for collecting debris. Upright vacuums are ideal for cleaning large areas and are typically easy to maneuver and store.
2. Canister Vacuums: Canister vacuums consist of a separate canister unit containing the motor and dust collection system, connected to a wand and cleaning head by a flexible hose. These vacuums are known for their versatility and maneuverability, making them suitable for cleaning stairs, upholstery, and hard-to-reach areas like under furniture.
3. Robotic Vacuums: Robotic vacuums are autonomous machines equipped with sensors and programmed algorithms to navigate and clean floors without human intervention. They are designed to operate on their own, mapping the room, avoiding obstacles, and returning to a docking station to recharge. Robotic vacuums are ideal for individuals seeking convenient and hands-free cleaning solutions.
4. Handheld Vacuums: Handheld vacuums are compact, lightweight, and portable units, perfect for spot cleaning or reaching tight spaces. They are commonly used for cleaning vehicles, upholstery, stairs, and small messes. Handheld vacuums can be corded or cordless and are great for quick and efficient cleaning tasks.
Vacuum cleaners have revolutionized home cleaning by providing efficient and effective solutions to maintain cleanliness and hygiene. They remove dirt, pet hair, allergens, and debris from carpets, hardwood floors, tiles, and various surfaces, improving indoor air quality. With advancements in technology, modern vacuums often feature additional functionalities like HEPA filters for trapping microscopic particles, adjustable suction power, different cleaning modes, and smart connectivity options. Whether it's a traditional upright or a sophisticated robotic one, vacuum cleaners have become an indispensable tool in every household, simplifying the tedious task of cleaning and keeping our living spaces tidy.
