In the realm of home appliances, Dyson’s sterling reputation precedes itself. Helmed by inventor James Dyson (who launched the first bagless vacuum cleaner back in 1993), the Malmesbury, England-based brand has been churning out the kinds of sleek, futuristic devices for the home and your hair that you hope and pray for during the holidays, lust after on registries, and save up for dollar after dollar.

While their status-y designs are often a splurge, we’re here to vouch for which of them are really worth it. At AD, the best Dyson products have cleaned, purified, and humidified our homes for many years, combining next-gen, sculptural design with easy user experience and unbeatable efficiency. No one forgets their first experience of using a high-powered cordless vacuum after years of toting around a 20-pound dust bag, all to make barely a dent in the dust-rich crevices and tumbleweeds of pet hair, and we are happy to speak to the vacuum cleaners, air purifiers, and humidifiers that have helped us stay on top of home-ownership (or rental responsibilities).

Here are our best bets for the Dyson products that have been vetted by our editors, ones that are worth the investment or at least the wait-and-see: Their devices are often—if not always—significantly marked down during sale seasons.

Contributor Terri Williams, our resident cleaning device expert, goes truly ecstatic for her Gen5Detect: “This is one of the best Dysons, one of the best vacuum cleaners, and one of the best cordless stick vacuums out there.” We can understand why: It’s known for being the most powerful HEPA cordless vacuum from the brand with the longest battery life—70 minutes. It has the single-button power control characteristic of their super user-friendly cordless vacuums, as well as 56 detangling vanes to remove wrapped hair, as well as a hair screw tool attachment to get in crevices like car seats and stairs. “I find myself using the built-in dusting and crevice tool, which fits in tight spaces to pick up debris, and the combination tool, which has a wide nozzle and brush for cleaning vents and other areas,” says Williams.

While the plethora of positive reviews speak for themselves, commerce writer Julia Harrison confirms that the Dyson V15 Cordless Vacuum has “quite literally changed my life.” Having exclusively cleaned with bulky, corded, heavy vacuums in years prior, Harrison says this lightweight, fully automatic and super powerful vacuum was not only a pleasant surprise, but an “unbelievable one” that has her casually vacuuming every day. “I push a button and off it goes, sucking up every dust bunny, every hair tumbleweed, every crumb that’s accumulated in the last 24 hours.”

Besides boasting totally cordless power, it has a 60-minute run time, three modes of cleaning, and intelligently adapts to a floor’s needs based on material and debris. A hair screw tool sucks up long hair and pet hair with incredible ease, and the anti-tangle conical brush keeps everything moving. An LCD screen also helpfully monitors how many particles you’ve sucked up while cleaning, as well the vacuum’s power mode, maintenance alerts, and remaining run time. This vac is also a hybrid model that converts into a handheld option for more portable or exact cleaning needs, plus charging is made particularly easy thanks to a wall-mountable charging port.

They may have labeled this handheld vac for “car and boat” cleaning, but it’s particularly helpful for sucking up accidents like soil from collapsing potted plants, cat litter strewn about, or a box of Cheerios meeting its fateful end off the counter. Senior commerce editor Nashia Baker prefers a handheld vacuum for reaching the nooks and crannies in her New York apartment, and she found the suction power and battery life of this one was just the ticket. “Just using it on the low mode was impressive,” she said, noting its ease of use and efficiency. “It doesn’t have an on/off button, as I just needed to hold down on the vacuum’s trigger (part of the handle) to put it to work.”

In a matter of a few seconds, it sucked up dirt and debris without issue, and Baker said the combination tool was great for “cleaning around my baseboards, but the crevice tool is another great included attachment for dusting and getting in narrow areas.” Emptying the canister is a breeze, too: With just a single release button, you can dump all that unwanted debris (aforementioned litter, Cheerios, etc.) into the trash. Run time is about 50 minutes, and the vacuum reaches up to seven inches into tight as well as narrow spaces as small as half an inch.

The WashG1 packs a punch, washing over 3,100 square feet of hard flooring on just one tank of water, with up to 35 minutes of run time. It removes wet and dry debris without needing suction, and the head is covered in highly absorbent microfiber, with two motorized rollers to simultaneously remove spills, debris, hair and dried-on stains.

Digital features editor Charlotte Collins found it extremely useful post-move. “Everything is a total mess, so to tackle my laminate tile kitchen floor that was all scuffed up from movers, I did a pass over it with this,” she says. “It’s a really intuitive product; a diagram included on the packaging essentially conveys exactly what you need to know with respect to how to fill the water compartment and get the vacuum started. I used the max suction mode to test its strength and it’s a lightweight enough machine so it’s easy to maneuver.” Like the V15, the LCD screen lets you know how many particles you’re sucking up per second, as well as notifying you of run time left. A self-clean cycle flushes the system in less than 140 seconds, so it’s ready to tackle your next spills with ease.

Williams called it like it is: most expensive, most versatile. Covering over 1000 square feet with a 300 milliliter water tank, the motorized wet roller on this vacuum picks up liquids, debris, and tough stains. She says it’s unlike most vacuums thanks to its combination of hardwood and carpeting cleaning, plus mopping functionality. The result? A versatile cleaner that you can use to vacuum all surfaces and even rugs. It has an actual dust bin, along with three cleaner heads, Williams adds of its efficiency. “The illuminated cleaner head has a soft, fluffy brush bar, and the headlight makes it easy to see debris usually missed by the human eye. The digital motorbar cleaner head can even be used on hard floors, carpets, and rugs.”

Germaphobes will love this one: the Humidify+Cool has a HEPA filtration system, as you’d expect, and a separate carbon filter for detecting formaldehyde (a harmful chemical found in everything from building materials to cleaning products that’s been proven to increase cancer risk and respiratory issues). Admittedly “obsessed with clean air,” commerce director Rachel Fletcher was impressed by this model, which efficiently purifies, humidifies, and cools your space, so you can articulate to your machine the exact atmosphere you want with Amazon Alexa and Apple Siri compatibility. (Or, you can control it through an app if you so desire, but maybe that’s getting too dystopian).

Fletcher found that the humidity monitors, which keep your space between 30 to 50% humidity at all times, was a perfect amount, and remarked that after lighting a candle or cooking, the purifier went to work straight away on cleaning the air. Bottom line: “This is a really expensive device, coming in at more than $800, but might actually save you money in the long run if you don’t want to buy a purifier, a fan, and a humidifier individually. I’d recommend it if you have deep pockets and not a ton of challenging air pollution situations to combat on the regular.”

A one-gallon tank lasts you up to 36 hours with this mega humidifier/purifier/fan hybrid from Dyson. While initially skeptical of its price point, Harrison can confirm this model does incredible work on managing air quality and humidity levels, maintaining a cool moisture (between 30 to 50% humidity) in her room all evening while making “virtually no sound at all.” The LCD screen has a “night mode” setting for sensitive sleepers who would be perturbed by its low glow. And the white noise provided by the 90º oscillating fans is, in Harrison’s opinion, just the low-frequency sound needed for restful sleep. There are three fan settings to keep you cool, as well: fan mode for direct cooling, breeze mode to mimic a light breeze, and backward airflow mode to purify and humidify without cooling. The filter is quick and easy to change, and you’ll be notified when it’s time by the filter life notifications on the LCD screen.
