New year, new void? Coming to 2025, the Dyson V8 Extra has seen its price slashed by 53% on Amazon, bringing it down to the lowest price we've ever seen on the retailer's website: AU$374.
The V8 stands out because it is the cheapest vacuum Dyson offers. That doesn't mean it's bad at all, of course; In fact, we reviewed it again in late 2024 and found that it's still a beast worth cleaning, despite being the oldest model Dyson makes. Affordability is the main reason you would choose a V8 model, but the robust design, accessories and impressive suction will also convince you.
With the V8 Extra, you get a variety of accessories, but aside from the handy crevice tool, low-reach adapter, and hair screw, there's not much difference between the Extra and other V8 models, like the standard, Absolute and the Origin. (the others also have useful accessories included).
All of these variants have seen different price drops over the years, and while we've seen the Origin Extra for as low as AU$347 during Black Friday and the standard V8 for as low as AU$329 during Black Friday, we haven't seen the Extra. This low on Amazon before (although it previously dropped to AU$379 during Prime Big Deal Days in July last year).
If you like the idea of the Dyson V8 but don't necessarily want the Extra, you can save on other models in the family. Origin Extra is currently discounting The Good Guys for AU$374 with its beat price guarantee. On eBay, the standard V8 costs AU$395 (or AU$374 with the code HGJAN25or for eBay Plus members, AU$365 with code PLUSJANO).
As it's the cheapest vacuum cleaner in the Dyson family, it doesn't have some of the same high-spec features as more upmarket vacuums. The smaller canister size and long refill time may have you reaching for more expensive vacuums, but this deal is hard to beat if you're looking to save your hard-earned money.
If you're interested in an alternative, some other high-end vacuums will also go on sale early in the year and they're all a little cheaper than during the Box Day sales.
