The Dyson V12 Detect Cordless Vacuum Cleaner shows homethat power doesn’t have to come at the cost of portability—and right now, it’s $170 off at Walmart. Compared to bulkier cordless vacuums (and the rest of the Dyson line), the 5.2-pound V12 is great for small spaces, making it easy to lift, store, and maneuver. It’s effective on hard flooring, but just as efficient on carpeting or pet bedding. Despite its compact size, it doesn’t skimp on performance, which is automatically adjusted based on the volume and size of debris it detects. 

One of its features is the built-in green laser light on the head, which illuminates hidden dust particles or reveals whether you’ve missed a spot.  This feature is optional and can be turned off at any time. Unlike other Dyson models, it features an on/off button rather than the usual trigger that requires pressure to be applied at all times. The slim shape also features a low profile, making it easier to vacuum beneath beds or couches.

Reviewers also note that the battery life is impressive (especially on the Auto setting rather than Boost), but may require an additional charge for larger homes. Additionally, a smaller vacuum means a smaller bin, which you may have to empty more frequently—a potential frustration if you have a larger space.

If you have wrist issues, back trouble, or just don’t want to lug around a heavier vacuum around your house, the Dyson V12 Detect Cordless Vacuum Cleaner might fit the bill. It still isn’t cheap, but at $170 off, it’s easier to justify the splurge for a vacuum that delivers on both power and convenience.
