Grab this top cordless Dyson vacuum at a rare Black Friday price right now – I used it in my home for a year, and it cleans better than big, corded vacuums

Person vacuuming hard floor with the Dyson V12 Detect Slim and green laser coming from floorhead. Somebody is pictured behind using the same vacuum in handheld mode next to a cat on a gray sofa, in a minimalist, neutral living room.

The Dyson V12 Detect Slim is one of my favorite vacuums. For such a slim, lightweight cordless stick, I never expected it to be so brilliant at vacuuming every type of mess, even when pulling hair from carpets.

I say this as a professional vacuum tester who's reviewed 28 vacuums for Homes & Gardens. After testing it, I continued to use it as the primary vacuum in my home for more than a year, and it never let me down when making my floors spotless.
