If I didn’t already own the V15 Detect, the V8 Cyclone would be the Dyson I’d get – now just AU$438.30

Despite its age, the Dyson V8 is still very popular, particularly when discounted as it can be had for around the AU$350 mark often enough. However, its age means its suction doesn’t hold up against some of the best cordless vacuums in Australia, so it’s a good thing the popular British brand decided to release an upgraded version of the classic without increasing its price.

At full price, the upgraded model costs AU$649 and, going by how impressive it was in our Dyson V8 Cyclone review, it’s good value even without a discount. According to my colleague who tested it, the small upgrades Dyson has given it make it the better machine.

So when you can suck up savings, it represents even better value. And, right now, it’s dropped to its lowest price yet – just AU$438.30 on Dyson’s own eBay store. You’ll get this price when you apply the checkout code TENOFF and you don’t even need to be an eBay Plus member to score this discount.

In fact, our reviewer also tested the new V8 against the older V11 and found that they both clean just as well, but the V8 Cyclone is lighter and easier to move around. It also matches the V11’s runtime and has removable batteries too (unlike the older V8). She found that even in low suction settings, the V8 Cyclone could be quite “sucky”.

I also think the darker colour scheme on the newer vacuum looks smarter than the V15 Detect I own.

So, if you’re keen on a new Dyson vacuum, give the V8 Cyclone some serious consideration, especially at this discounted price. Just be sure to apply the code when checking out, but it’s also discounted directly from Dyson for AU$499, while JB Hi-Fi has dropped the price to AU$487.
