Black Friday is a great time to get my all-time favorite vacuum cleaner from Dyson

Sometimes the best Black Friday deals aren’t on a fancy new laptop or foldable phones, but rather home equipment. But with the Dyson V12 Detect Slim, you can get a tech fix alongside a rather neat vacuum cleaner that I can wholeheartedly recommend.

That’s because the Dyson V12 Detect Slim comes with a frickin’ laser. Yep, you heard that right. In fact, it’s that laser that gives this stick vacuum its ‘Detect’ moniker; a green laser beam is used to highlight spots of dust and debris that might otherwise be missed by the standard human eye. And I have to say, it’s genuinely a great little feature.

Now I think Dyson products were very nice-looking but not worth the high price they demand; not dissimilar to Apple products in some cases. Then I got to try the Dyson V12 Detect Slim and became an instant convert. Not only is it a great little vacuum cleaner, sucking up all sorts with ease, the extra tech such as the laser and “Digital Motor” system that feedback power, suction, debris detection, and maintenance details, are genuinely useful and make vacuuming… well… fun. Really.

The Dyson V12 Detect Slim features surprisingly powerful suction for a cordless, and an intelligent sensor that can optimize power and battery life depending on the surface you're vacuuming. A handy de-tangling motor bar makes short work of hair, while the built-in laser scanner illuminates hard-to-see dust. A cheap sucker, this is not, but we were impressed during our Dyson V12 Detect Slim review.
