Shark is one of our favorite vacuum brands here at Homes & Gardens. But even the most capable appliances need looking after to avoid issues from arising too early. After spending 200+ hours testing vacuums and even more hours researching and writing about them, I always urge consumers to look after theirs as best as they possibly can, ensuring they last for as long as possible. Not only is it better for the planet, it's also more financially savvy.

As somebody who's spent a great deal of time testing vacuums, I can confirm that the cordless Dysons are among the best in the world. I own both the Dyson V15 Detect and Dyson V12 Detect Slim, as these are my favorite models I've ever tested. But with the best Dyson vacuums consisting of so many models and variations, all with their own price points, it's not always easy knowing which one to choose.

As somebody who has spent more than 200 hours testing and reviewing vacuum cleaners, I understand the importance of vacuum maintenance. So, how do you clean a Dyson vacuum filter? It's often overlooked, but luckily, the Dyson vacuum filters are designed to be cleaned and reused, as opposed to other brands with filters that are disposed of and replaced.

They're a go-to choice for many, but how safe are carpet deodorizers? As Homes & Gardens' home tech editor, I've spent more than 200 hours testing vacuums, and I've even visited Dyson's engineering labs. I know these appliances inside and out, and one thing I've learned is that fine powders can damage your vacuum. So, even the best vacuums for carpet need to be looked after. That's why I consulted our trusted cleaning experts to find out whether carpet deodorizers are safe.

As much as we love Dyson at Homes & Gardens, the price can be off-putting. They might be the best we've ever tested, and as an owner of two Dysons, I can personally vouch for that, but the cleaning power comes at a cost. That's why, when I see a generous discount, it's worth shouting about. The Dyson V8 is on offer with $170 off. It was already the most affordable cordless from Dyson and you really won't find a better price right now to bring Dyson's signature suction power into your home.
