Dyson V8 Cyclone Cordless Vacuum
A genuinely decent old vacuum at a genuinely bad price. The 3.4-star owner rating isn't about the machine breaking; it's about buyers doing the math after checkout.
Best for: Almost no one at this price. If it drops under $400 on sale, it becomes a defensible light-duty pick for small hard-floor homes that want the Dyson badge.

Strong suction for its size, honest Dyson build, and a runtime so short that half its owners feel ambushed. Know the battery reality before you pay the badge premium.
Best for: Car-detail hobbyists who clean in short focused sessions and already trust Dyson filters and service.
