You asked about a stick vacuum for a small carpeted unit
Dyson V8 Advanced (626413-01), but not yet
Wait until 27 Nov 2026
Black Friday is on 27 November 2026. The V8 sold for about $324 in last year's November sales. It costs about $364 today, so waiting 2 weeks may save around $40.
Editorial timing, dated. We don't run price alerts.
Dyson V8 Advanced (626413-01)
- Its powered brush head lifts dust and hair out of carpet.
- Dyson rates it at up to 40 minutes, and a small unit needs far less.
- It lists at $649 but sells for under $400 at major Australian shops.
Also fine: Shark PowerPro Cordless Vacuum (IZ373HANZ) if you want to spend under $300 and can find the Shark PowerPro IZ373HANZ at that price.
The unpaid alternative
If you already own a corded vacuum, keep using it. A small unit is quick to do with a cord. You can also borrow a friend's vacuum until the sales.
No commission on this line. It stays on every verdict.
How we decided
We compared the Dyson V8 Advanced with cheaper stick vacuums on carpet cleaning, run time and price. A small carpeted unit needs a strong brush head more than a big battery. On 13 November 2026 we checked that the Dyson V8 Advanced is the V8 now sold new in Australia. We found it at JB Hi-Fi, The Good Guys, Big W, Bing Lee, Appliances Online and Dyson Australia for $363 to $399, against a $649 full price. We checked last year's November V8 prices and the Shark PowerPro price at The Good Guys.
In Australian shops: $360 to $400 when we checked. This is not Amazon's price. Prices move, so check before you buy.
