Pet owners 'absolutely love, love, love' Dyson V12 cordless vac now £150 less in stunning QVC deal
DYSON fans are rushing to QVC to get their hands on one of the brand's coveted vacuums for a bargain price. The cost of the V12 Detect Slim Absolute has been slashed by £150 and it's now just £399. BUY FROM QVC This Dyson deal at QVC sees a neat 27% hoovered off the usual price of £549. What's more, you can get an extra £5 off your first order if you enter the promo code FIVE4U. Dyson discounts aren't that frequent, so this is definitely a deal to look at if you're in the market for a new vacuum - especially if you've got pets. The V12 is designed for homes with animals, so it makes short work of that pesky, ever-present dog and cat hair. You can use the Motorbar head to deep-clean debris and hair from carpets (it detangles as it goes, so the brush doesn't end up clogged). Alternately, there's the Fluffy Optic head for hard floors and a handy (if strange-looking) hair screw tool for ground-in pet hair and debris. This cordless wonder gives up to 60 minutes of cleaning on a full charge, and offers spin speeds up to 125,000rpm. What's more, the vacuum automatically adjusts suction depending on what it's picking up, and increases power where it's needed. And the filtration system seals in up to 99.99% of allergens and microscopic particles: perfect if you're suffering from hay fever this summer. The Sun Shopping's Aaron Dowler put this big-brand vac to the test, and in his Dyson V12 Detect Absolute Slim review, gave it an 8-out-of-10 verdict. "The Dyson V12 Detect Slim impressed me with its performance, especially its lightweight design," Aaron says. "The laser detection technology worked beautifully on hard floors, and the attachments were versatile enough to tackle pet hair and upholstery." QVC shoppers are smitten too, with one customer writing: "It is incredible what it collects. "We have two short-haired dachshunds, two adults, wool carpets and rugs in our house. "[It's] so easy and lightweight to hoover stairs compared to [the] Dyson Ball Upright we also have, which now never gets used." Another says: "I absolutely love, love, love it! It's so easy to use, easy to empty and clean, and I can do the whole house so quickly. "I use it every day and am gobsmacked at what it picks up... Even my husband said the house smells clean. It really is wonderful." All reasons this handy household tool made it into our pick of the best cordless vacuum cleaners. If you're keen, just be sure to jump on this deal before it comes to an end.

One of the best vacuums we've ever tested — the Dyson V12 — is $150 off for Presidents' Day
Vacuuming was once quite daunting for me. After a long day, lugging a big, heavy canister around felt exhausting. And that's not factoring in the tangled cords and finicky dust cups that would release a giant cloud of dirt upon opening. Enter the Dyson V12 Detect Slim Cordless Vacuum! This fierce featherweight stick managed to stand up to my rigorous testing and change the course of my cleaning trajectory. She's swift, she's agile, she illuminates the night (quite literally; you'd be surprised what comes to light). And right now, she's a whopping $150 off at Dyson's big Presidents' Day sale. Related: The best Dyson cordless stick vacuums for 2025, tested and reviewed Dyson stick vacuums are among the sleekest and strongest in the biz, designed with nimble swivel steering, impeccable edge cleaning and, what really sets them apart from the competition, as reinforced by our testing, high-tech engineering (they're also known to come with a comprehensive suite of accessories). The V12 Detect Slim is a standout. It weighs just over 5 lbs. (the lightest of any Dyson stick), has a generous run time of 60 minutes and features an extra (FluffyOptic) hard floor brush cleaner head that glows neon green for peak visibility. The snazzy stick typically goes for $650 and is now on sale for $500 — a whopping $150 off — bringing it down to the mid-price vacuum range. It's still a pretty penny but a bargain for a Dyson and competitive when compared to similarly priced models that don't offer as much battery stamina, as many accessories or as sophisticated of an LCD display. Despite its lightweight frame, the Dyson V12 Detect Slim boasts some pretty powerful suction. With the standard "Motorbar" cleaner brush head — designed for carpets and hard surfaces — attached, the vacuum mowed down Cheerios, cat litter and sand in our "carpet course" and made matted pet fur that had shed from my parents' dog vanish from dense car mats (click here for more on testing). When used on hardwood and tiling, the V12 Detect Slim's glowy "Fluffy Optic" cleaner head lit up — and zapped up — everything in its path. And I mean everything, including the smallest of dust particles that I wouldn't have otherwise seen (it's truly fascinating). Because the cleaner heads — and especially the "Fluffy Optic" cleaner head — are so svelte, I was able to get against walls and in tighter spaces, such as around toilets, without having to swap in different attachments. And because the brushes are so soft (again, emphasis on the "Fluffy Optic" cleaner head), I was able to glide them along delicate surfaces, such as hardwood floors and painted molding, without worrying about scratching. This stick vac has become a staple in my home since testing, so I can vouch that it holds up with regular use. I also rely on the vac as a handheld for cleaning more compact or hard-to-reach areas: The combination and crevice tools are great for detailing, while the anti-tangle tool is a godsend for narrow areas, sofas and, just like with the vacuum brushes, car mats. For added convenience, the V12 Detect Slim is incredibly easy to empty (you just pull the red lever and the contents release with force) and, unlike with most other Dyson vacuums, there's a power button, so you don't have to hold down a switch to keep the juice flowing (check out my full review for more info and demonstrations). You don't have to take it from me. Over 11,000 Dyson customers have given this little dynamo a full five-star rating. "My Dyson has been a life changer," read one review on the brand's website. "I have all LVP floors and I thought I was getting them clean until I got my Dyson with the head with the light attachment. The roller head picks up all the fine debris that is on the floor that is not easily seen." "This is my one and only vacuum in my house," shared another. "I don't know why I waited so long to purchase this. It has made my life so much easier to vacuum and clean furniture, cars and furniture." "I love it!" exclaimed a third. "I am a 68-year-old woman and have to store my vacuum cleaner in the basement. It was getting way too hard to carry my old vacuum up and down the steps. My new Dyson is so lightweight, has great suction on bare floors and carpet and is quieter than my old one." Of course, no appliance is perfect — a notable tradeoff of having such a lightweight body is this V12 Slim's smaller dust bin. As one reviewer put it, "I absolutely love my Dyson V12. The suction is strong yet the unit is lightweight and easy to use. The only thing I would like to change is that I would like to have a larger dirt bin." "I love the light weight and the ease of vacuuming on stairs! Very pleased with the job it does," began another. "However, it is difficult for me to remove the lower handle to empty the container." The reviews quoted above reflect the most recent versions at the time of publication.
