When is Black Friday?
In 2023, Black Friday falls on Friday, 24 November. But the discounts will start to appear earlier. This means that it can be difficult to know when to pull the trigger. We’d advice you to decide a budget and a wish list and find out what kind of discounts were available last year. The amounts will probably be similar this time around. We’d expect to see discounts of $100-$150/£100-£150 on one or two key cordless vacuum cleaner models and heaters/ fans. Hair styling tools tend to have smaller discounts – unless you can find a refurbished model. When the deals arrive, we’ll show all the biggest discounts on all kinds of Dyson products that we find in Black Friday sales right here. In the meantime, you may see deals below from 2022. This will give you an idea of the discounts you can expect to see. If you’d like to see the best deals available across all tech, head over to our dedicated Black Friday section, which features all the best and biggest tech discounts. US deals are first.

Where to find Dyson offers
First up, the obvious place to check is Dyson’s US or UK online store. The company gives good discounts on the key sales days, including Black Friday. It’s also the place to go if you’ve spotted a deal and want to check what a model’s usual price is. Was: $749.99 Now: $649.99 ($100 off) Was: $449.99 Now: $349.99 ($100 off) Was: $689.99 Now: $499.99 ($190 off) Was: Price when new: $449.99 Now: $279.99 ($170 off) We reviewed the Corrale, and liked it a lot. Sadly, it rarely goes on sale. This is the best way to get a discount on this award-winning straightener. Was: $429.99 Now: Free accessories worth $125: Get a presentation case, paddle brush & detangling comb Was: $549.99 Now: $399.99 ($150 off) Was: £529.99 Now: £429.99 (£100 off) Was: £629.99 Now: £499.99 (£130 off) Was: £549.99 (new) Now: £449.99 (£100 off) Was: £449.99 Now: £319.99 (£130 off) Was: £329.99 Now: Free accessories worth £90: Get a free stand and brush when you buy Was: £399.99 Now: £399.99 (with free presentation case) This isn’t a discount so much as getting a bit extra in the form of a matching presentation case – which is great if you’re buying it as a gift. It’s in the limited Prussian Blue & Copper colourway as well. Was: £499.99 Now: £449.99 (£50 off RRP) If you’ve been mulling over an air purifier, this is one of the best. And it’ll double as an effective fan in summer. Next, visit other online retailers as they will often slash prices on older models that Dyson itself no longer stocks. Both the US and the UK have official Dyson outlets, where you can buy refurbished products. All products that come with a full one or two year guarantee, free delivery and over a month to change your mind about your purchase. If you’re in the US, you should also check out:

Best Dyson discounts: What to look for
Dyson products are high-end and come with an equally high-end price tag. As reviewers, this is the point at which we have to draw a distinction between want and need. There are very few instances where we’ll recommend the Dyson because we think you’ll really need it. But do we think you’ll want it? That’s another matter. Its products are not often discounted, so if there’s something on your wish list and there’s a decent price reduction, it’s a good idea to get it while you can. We’d suggest checking back often. For those of you who want to upgrade to a Dyson appliance in every room, these are the key products available.
Vacuum cleaners
We can’t say that Dyson cordless vacuum cleaners are still in a class of their own, but we can say they’re among the very best. Usually, there are deeper discounts on the older V11, V10, V8 and V7 models. These are still high quality, and you’re more likely to make serious savings in the sales. You’ll get a slightly shorter battery life, a bit less power and a smaller dustbin, but their performance is still very strong, and would definitely be enough to keep a flat or a smaller home clean. You should bear in mind that while Dyson cordless cleaners have HEPA grade filters, the fact that they are bagless means that a certain amount of the rubbish you just vacuumed up is going to make its way back into your home when you empty the dust bin. If you have a dust allergy, a bagged vacuum cleaner may still be the best option for you. There are different versions of each generation of vacuum cleaner and at first glance, it’s not clear what the difference is between the Absolute, the Animal and the Motorhead. It all comes down to the attachments and cleaning heads that come with each model. The Animal, for example, is optimised to deal with pet hair. Finally, Dyson has a robot vacuum, the 360 Heurist.

Fans, heaters and air purifiers
Dyson keeps expanding its range of fans, so there are a lot to look out for. The latest is the Pure Cool Autoreact, which is a combined fan and air purifier. But it’s not Dyson’s first combined appliance. Dyson’s Hot + Cool range act as both heaters and fans, making them useful year-round. Then there’s the Pure Cool range. These are combined fans and air purifiers, ideal if you’re worried about air quality in your home. There is a Pure Hot + Cool if you want the works, but this is actually an older model and will lack some of the refinements added in the current Pure Cool range. All of these are smart appliances and will connect to the Dyson app.
Hair stylers
Dyson took its airflow knowledge and moved into haircare technology, beginning with the Supersonic hair dryer, which promises to dry your hair without the high heat that can damage it. In spite of the fact it’s a few years old now, its price is holding steady at £299.99. The most we’ve seen it discounted is by about £40. To see what we thought of the Supersonic and check out some more reasonably priced options, have a look at our list of top-rated hair dryers. This was followed up with the Airwrap styler, which harnesses the Coanda effect to curl hair. (The Coanda effect is when air or liquid flows against a surface, clinging to it – it’s what causes your coffee, annoyingly, to run down the outside of your mug instead of pouring when you’re trying to tip a bit out.) It comes with a range of attachments, including a dryer. There’s also Dyson’s hair straightener, the Corrale. It has floating plates for better contact with your hair and, unusually for a styler of this kind, you can use it cordless. You can find out more in our review.
Lighting
Dyson also has three lighting options, all of which promise to protect your eyes and deliver the correct lighting for the task at hand. They’re engineered by Jake Dyson, James’ son. The first is the CSYS task light, which has glare protection and low optical flicker, to help you focus on the job in hand. The next product is the Solarcycle, a desk lamp that adjusts its brightness and bulb colour to match the patterns of local daylight. It’s controlled via an app and if you enter your age in the app, it will also tailor its light to the requirements of your eyes (older eyes need more light). Thanks to its heat pipe technology, Dyson promises that the Solarcycle LEDs should continue to function, without discolouring, for 60 years. The Solarcycle comes in both a desk light and floor-standing model. The latest launch is the Solarcycle Morph. It not only matches the Solarcycle in terms of function but also has the added features of transforming between four types of lighting: indirect, task, feature or ambient light.
