We’ve tested hundreds of vacuum cleaners, including a large swath of brands, types, and models. Because Dyson is one of the most customer-loved cleaning brands out there—with shoppers calling their vacs everything from “an absolute beast” to “the future of clean”—we’ve even done Dyson-specific testing to unearth the best one of them all. The standout result was the Dyson Gen15detect Cordless, which we named “Best Dyson Overall” as well as “Best Stick Vacuum Overall.”

Shoppers call this vacuum cleaner “worth every dollar,” but because it typically retails for more than $1,000, we’re always keeping an eye out for a price drop. Dyson fans are in luck because the luxurious, high-tech Dyson Gen15detect Cordless—easily the best vacuum we’ve ever tested and clearly beloved by Dyson devotees—is now $250 off just in time for Presidents Day sales.

This 7.7-pound stick vacuum can quite literally do it all. We ran it over a maze of coffee grounds, crushed cereal, and pet hair, too, and were amazed with its ability to not only suck up debris from tile, hardwoods, and stairs, but also how quickly it did so. (It cleaned our living room in under four minutes.) It took significantly less swipes than some other vacuum cleaners we’ve tested, and with the pet hair attachment, picked up fluffs of fur even more efficiently. Shoppers have had similar cleaning experiences, too. One five-star reviewer said that even after vacuuming a “fully carpeted room” in their home with a non-Dyson model first, the Gen15detect still “filled one-third of the bin with debris” that the other vacuum “didn’t [and] couldn’t pick up.”

Another reviewer, who lives with four cats, three dogs, and a six-year-old, grabbed the Gen15detect after researching “what would be best for litter, animals, sand (because Florida), and everything else.” They added, “This was the winner. And wow, I have used it nonstop the past three days since getting it, and I am obsessed.” Someone else called this vac “the cat’s meow,” and said “the green light [is] chef’s kiss on hardwood floors.”

During our tests, it fared well on both medium- and high-pile carpets, navigating easily, and only taking one pass to clean both types of carpet using the hair tool. One common theme that kept popping up in the reviews is the vacuum’s barely-there noise level. “It is very quiet,” one shopper said, adding that someone else in the house “sleeps through” as they clean. Another user called it “the quietest vacuum [they] have ever had.”

Other highlights include the ease with which it maneuvers. The head turns 180 degrees, but the handle stays put, so the user doesn’t have to adjust their body. It also conveniently turns into a handheld model that one reviewer called “very maneuverable,” “versatile,” “powerful,” and “comfortable” to use while cleaning cars and upholstery. The LCD digital display is also something to behold; it’s what makes the vacuum so high-tech compared to competitors, as it displays the amount of particles collected, real-time volume, and an after-clean summary that someone else said “looks awesome, but is also very functional.” The same reviewer said to “believe the hype” of this vacuum and called it so “impressive [that it] almost makes it fun to vacuum.”

Now’s the time to upgrade your old vacuum with lame, barely-there suction, and take advantage of what is an extremely rare sale price on the Dyson Gen15detect Cordless. Your floors, carpet, and peace of mind will thank you. Grab our “Best Overall” pick for $800 for a limited time, and continue shopping for other fan-favorite Dyson vacuum cleaners below.
