@boygenius1991 if the spider can evade my roombas, then he deserves to live. that’s natural selection. it’s my roombas’ fault for not being good enough predators
@ruouttaurmind I just checked- $60 and up here, although it looks like someone on my block is selling one. Maybe I’ll wait for the neighborhood garage sale in April.
@sammydog01 Wii U is selling for around $80 here while original Wii with games and accessories are between $20-$40.
Original Xbox Ones are around $100, and XBox 360 or PS3 in the $60 range. With the XBox One S dipping as low as $160 over the holidays, the non-4K original Xbox One has really dipped in price.
@sammydog01 Those are the craigslist prices. Thrift stores haven’t gotten the memo that prices have dropped. Also, it’s not at all an uncommon item at yard sales (where pricing becomes very flexible with only a modest amount of negotiating).
@ruouttaurmind Here in SoCal, some have, some have not. On a recent visit, a Wii (unit only, missing port covers) was $7.99. So I bought the original NES next to it for $14.99 instead.
@heartny@Lighter@sflesch That was not the same model. That was last year’s model.
This has twice the battery power of my V6 and I love it. Also they improved the motor some.
@funco49@Ignorant Cripes, for seven hundy I could have a housekeeping service come 14 times and use their own vacuum. I don’t care how long the battery lasts or how large the bin is on their vacuum.
@medz@wmbarr The good thing is that it will last forever. I still have my mom’s electrolux and she passed away in 2001 to give you an idea. She had it for years before that. lots of attachments. we love it. would love cordless better but no use wasting a damn good vacuum. cheers!
@sammydog01 Wow. You’re pretty darned close. Only 20 min left in today’s sale. I doubt 3 more will sell in 20 min, but that would be awesome if you nailed it square on.
@sammydog01 LOL, that would make sense. I almost never read the forums, but today was a snow day in NJ, so I was browsing around and saw your ‘72’ comment. There were 2 sold at the time. Really thought nothing of it. 18 hours, 22" of snow later my power comes back on. I check out the new meh (Power Saw) at 12:30am-ish, and I’m moving on with life. I’m a VMP, so I saw the Dyson still offered on the front page and for some reason I said to myself, geeze, I wonder how many they sold at that (high) price. Seventy-god-damned-two. Wha wha whaaaat??? Had to go verify that’s what was predicted. Dude…
@awk I have an original Dyson that’s built like a tank. I stupidly got a new ball style Dyson refurb in the last Mehrathon and I HATE it. Cheap feeling, flimsy plastic bits, even the handle feels like it’s going to snap off if I I’m too careless with it. I’ve switched back to my old Dyson. It’s still built like a tank.
My wife loves her Dyson animal corded vacuum; we have bought three of them so far as she wears them out. I am sure she would enjoy not having to drag a cord around also. However, my perception of hand held battery powered vacuums is that they have always been cheaper, weaker, and not as good at cleaning as the corded models. Remember dust busters? They really did not work very well or hold very much dirt.
I would buy one of these, but can’t get over that mental block of spending hundreds of dollars (about what we paid for her last refurb dyson on here, I believe) for a battery powered vacuum that I perceive as likely being inferior to the real thing.
Corded dyson animal vacs are $249 on the quick google shopping search i just did. This one is $100+ more, and has a dust bin that is only .14 gal according to the Amazon description. That is about a pint, or the size of a soda bottle. If you own a border collie, that means stopping to empty the container a couple times per room. That is precisely why we don’t use our $500 roomba any more.
@PlacidPenguin Not sure how to answer that. I have a perfectly functional shark rotator vacuum and don’t need a new one, I was just making a funny at how the deal title formatted on my screen. However, need is not the same as want. I want this one for free in a “bank error in your favor” kinda way.
So I actually had ordered this from you guys. Then I noticed that yours has a one year warranty while Amazon’s has a two year warranty. So your comparison with their pricing isn’t exactly honest. For such a high priced vacuum that extra year of warranty matters so I went ahead and canceled my order here and ordered one from Amazon. With Prime I’ll get it a lot quicker as well.
@sflesch On Amazon it does have a longer warranty - 2 years. The description on Meh says it’s one year. I’m assuming that’s one of the reasons they can sell it cheaper. They may have negotiated a shorter warranty when purchasing them from Dyson.
@sflesch It certainly may be an error. But I’m not taking that chance. In any case, Dyson just came out with the next generation, the V10. I canceled my order on Amazon and just ordered the V10 from Dyson’s site directly. Seems like it should fit our needs well and has a 90 day return policy. Can’t believe I just dropped $700 on a freakin vacuum!
Bed Bath and Beyond has it for $340 with their 20% off coupon, with the full 2 year warranty. Meh!
Also, did you know Dyson has unique serial numbers for each vacuum? Most stores that sell Dysons can tell you where you got it from, and approximately when (since the actual serials are not scanned in when you check out).
@lichme Their exclusions list is not fully followed in most of their stores - most items still allow the coupons to apply. Kate Spade being one big offender here. That list is some contractual thing for some specific items I guess?
Always buy a dyson at Costco or Bed bath and Beyond…so when they break, and break they will, you can return it and exchange it. We get a constant supply of the last 4 years of Dysons (65,40,41 and Multifloors) in for bad switches, power head assemblies and main motors…and right now, all these parts are on national backorder…The sticks fair a little better, but the batteries go after 2 years…just when they are out of warranty…
@fastharry I just changed the battery on one of my V6 stick vacs. Third party batteries are under $30. YMMV based on the quality of the cells they use. Some advertise the brand (“LG 18650 Cells”). For the V6, at least, it’s two exposed screws that hold the battery pack in. It is certainly a user serviceable part.
I don’t believe the V8 is a big enough upgrade over the V6 to warrant the price difference. I got my second V6, a motorhead with bonus Fluffy head, for $200 on Groupon. The Fluffy head (soft roller for hard floors) goes for $100 alone on ebay.
I’ll wait for the next Shark vacuum meh. So far the two I’ve purchased have compared favorably to the Dyson I bought years ago, and I have no regrets switching to the cheaper Shark.
@DocWyeth I don’t know about that. Our dyson lasted 4 years. So far the shark powerhead has lasted one year and cost less than 1/4 what the Dyson cost. The suction has been equivalent, but on top of that it’s lighter (kids can handle it more easily) and smaller so it’s easier to handle around the house.
So right now I’m ahead of the game.
That said, I have a large family (9 kids) and a large house (3k sq feet), and I readily acknowledge use cases will be different. That the little shark can keep up with us and has lasted a full year is no small feat.
@DocWyeth@stienmanHaving owned both Dysons and Sharks, we’ve found their vacuuming performance to be similar, but the lightness of the Sharks is a plus if you have multiple levels in your dwelling.
The Dysons seem to be a bit more durable, but not 3-4 times (the price) more durable, not even close. The Sharks are actually pretty durable and cleverly designed.
Being a cheapass, I will burn a lot of time DIY-repairing a vacuum whilst watching a movie or whatever before I’ll throw it out.
Dysons are easier to service and you can actually get parts. The only way to service a Shark is to cannibalize another one (side of the road or eBay) or send it back to Shark. The local vacuum repair shops laugh when you ask about Shark parts.
I used a section of Hoover hose to replace the base to powerhead joint on a Shark Rotator Professional… twice. That was a failure point on the classic white and red model.
I just bought a new Dyson this past Black Friday. It’s the only time of year that they are truly discounted anywhere. I am not going to fault Meh on this fine Wednesday morning for stepping out of its comfort zone this one time to offer up a NEW, NAME BRAND item. Good effort on you, Meh, but not quite enough for us to click “buy.”
Forget this rip-off! You can buy the BISSELL PowerEdge Pet Hardwood Floor Bagless Stick Vacuum Cleaner on Amazon for less than $60 and it is wonderful on pet hair.
@cajun I would probably never have bought one myself because of the price, but I got a Dyson ball animal as a gift. Now, I’m a crazed fan of Dyson and will never look elsewhere. It is light, versatile and has great suction.
@cajun@goldnectar It’s not that the suction is too powerful, but the beater bar is. Any stray yarns could be easily ripped out, damaging the carpet.
Do I feel they’re worth the premium? No. Will I buy one when it’s more reasonably priced? Yes. My sub-$20 thrift store Dyson works way better than any other sub-$20 thrift store vacuums I purchased before.
too expensive meh…you can get the same thing including shipping for less. just do a google search for the item and look under shopping. Not a deal here today folks!
Just got one of these from the Dyson refurb store, and it’s pretty impressive in terms of lightness and suction. Unfortunately, that battery lasts 5-7 minutes at full power, and takes 5 hours or so to recharge.
I just spent $20 replacing the filters in my current dyson which was a refurb, btw. Our vacuum before that was a refurb Shark Navigator which we gifted to family.
#OnlyBuyRefubVacs
You don’t need to spend this much on a vacuum. If you really want new, go with the Shark brand. I felt it was of better quality over the Dyson.
Sooooo…with shipping, that’ll be $374. That’s a $26 discount over Amazon. You also get one year less warranty over Amazon. Amazon has an extending 2 year warranty option for $37.79. That’s $18.90 per warranty year. $26 savings - $18.90 one year warranty value = $7.10 of actual adjusted savings.
True savings = $7.10
That’s not even worth the time I spent calculating this.
Meh.com - Daily Deal! Save 1.78% on a $400 vacuum!!!
At Christmas my dad wanted to get my mom one of these things. I just smiled and figured it would pass, but he kept bringing it up every day. I thought it was overpriced and a waste of money, but since it would make my dad happy I helped him get one for my mom. Wanna know something? It was worth the money and I’d do it again. It makes cleaning soooo easy and convenient. Dragging out the vacuum or sweeping is a pain in the you know what. But this thing is easy. Does it replace a full sized vacuum? No. And if you can’t afford to get one, don’t get one. But, if you have the money and want to make your life easier, these things are great. Oh, and don’t bother with the Absolute. We hardly use the extra attachments.
My Shark is Scary Good for around 109.00. No Freaking way am I gonna spend almost $400.00 for a Dyson… Ty anyway… MEH. I have decided I have a serious Vacuum Fetish, however, I CAN RESIST THIS!!! Muhahaha.
I would like to thank meh for wasting my entire day doing research and reading reviews on vacuums to save $30 over amazon. Alas, after a full day of I should, no I shouldn’t, yes I should, no I shouldn’t, I finally broke down at 10:40 (my time) and made the purchase. I am hoping the payoff will come when my kids no longer have any excuses;) please, no more expensive items that take up way too much time in my circus brain!

@shahnm Beat me to it!
holy shit these are expensive. you could get 2 low end roombas for this price. even fi they just work half as well you’d come out ahead.
@boygenius1991 I want to see your roombas get that spider up in the corner of the room.
@boygenius1991 @funco49 It’s easy if you can throw accurately.
@boygenius1991 if the spider can evade my roombas, then he deserves to live. that’s natural selection. it’s my roombas’ fault for not being good enough predators
@funco49 wall roomba’s when
@dave I see you didn’t get my message about selling refurbished Wii’s- try for tomorrow, OK?
@sammydog01 Aren’t Wii’s like two bucks on Craigslist these days?
@ruouttaurmind @sammydog01 buck 85 actually. just bought a few for coasters in my bat cave.
@ruouttaurmind I just checked- $60 and up here, although it looks like someone on my block is selling one. Maybe I’ll wait for the neighborhood garage sale in April.
@sammydog01 I bought two a few months back for $20 for just the Wii and $40 with accessories but no games. #ModMii!
@sammydog01 Wii U is selling for around $80 here while original Wii with games and accessories are between $20-$40.
Original Xbox Ones are around $100, and XBox 360 or PS3 in the $60 range. With the XBox One S dipping as low as $160 over the holidays, the non-4K original Xbox One has really dipped in price.
@ruouttaurmind @sflesch Thrift stores or craigslist? I’m not sure where to look.

@sammydog01 YMMV, of course.
Oooh, bad price point. Pass.
@heartny What? For a new one?! How do you figure?
@heartny @sflesch Be patient and shop around. Ours came from a very large box store shortly before Christmas for about a hundred less.
@heartny @Lighter @sflesch That was not the same model. That was last year’s model.
This has twice the battery power of my V6 and I love it. Also they improved the motor some.
Being a gentleman, I’ll pause awhile before saying something stoopid.
@wew Being a regular dude, I’ll just go ahead and blurt out something dumbass sounding…
I’m not - that’s right not - buying this.
I would if I didn’t already have one.
@Ignorant Just got an email from Dyson today about their new cordless stick vac, its only $699.00.
@funco49 I’d like a bigger bin, but not $700 like a bigger bin.
@funco49 @Ignorant Cripes, for seven hundy I could have a housekeeping service come 14 times and use their own vacuum. I don’t care how long the battery lasts or how large the bin is on their vacuum.
Is this the most expensive item sold on meh?If not name the ones that were higher Ty in advance
@mellowirishgent Including this sale:
@lichme @mellowirishgent Here it is in case the imgur pic above doesn’t work…
@mellowirishgent I believe there were some MacBooks that cost more.
@mellowirishgent if anybody outside Meh would know the answer, it would be @lichme!
I prefer my animals with cords.
@gertiestn
/giphy thats what she said
I still use an Electrolux canister vacuum from the 80s. Dyson has nothing on them.
@wmbarr My Dyson from the 90s can beat up your Electrolux!
/giphy vacuum wars
@wmbarr My brother’s wife got suckered into buying one of those heavy, non-rolling, ugly-ass green Electrolux vacuums. It was garbage.
@medz @wmbarr The good thing is that it will last forever. I still have my mom’s electrolux and she passed away in 2001 to give you an idea. She had it for years before that. lots of attachments. we love it. would love cordless better but no use wasting a damn good vacuum. cheers!
Less than 10% off?? This isn’t why I come here…
@Lazarpandar Amen.
I predict they will sell 72. Any other guesses? (I hope you guys didn’t buy too many of these puppies.)
@sammydog01 Well, almost an hour in and they’ve sold… 2.
@OutbackJon Up to 35- come on, rich folks!
@sammydog01 Next time I’ll just ask you first. Nice guess.
@sammydog01 Wow. You’re pretty darned close. Only 20 min left in today’s sale. I doubt 3 more will sell in 20 min, but that would be awesome if you nailed it square on.
EDIT: I spoke too soon! Up to 71 now!
@sammydog01 BTW, can I you send me Saturday’s lottery numbers?
@ruouttaurmind Nope, I’m using them myself.
@sammydog01 Dude… 72!!! How??
@NoSalt I bought the last 7 myself.
@sammydog01
@sammydog01 LOL, that would make sense. I almost never read the forums, but today was a snow day in NJ, so I was browsing around and saw your ‘72’ comment. There were 2 sold at the time. Really thought nothing of it. 18 hours, 22" of snow later my power comes back on. I check out the new meh (Power Saw) at 12:30am-ish, and I’m moving on with life.

@sammydog01 73 total good call here
@oldskoolandy I was good until some VMP bought one after midnight.
Forgot to take the s out in my imgur link:

I can’t justify buying a Dyson new (they just have this flimsy plastic-ness to them) but they are great as refurbs. Besides I already have two of 'em!
@awk I have an original Dyson that’s built like a tank. I stupidly got a new ball style Dyson refurb in the last Mehrathon and I HATE it. Cheap feeling, flimsy plastic bits, even the handle feels like it’s going to snap off if I I’m too careless with it. I’ve switched back to my old Dyson. It’s still built like a tank.
I’ll wait and get this as part of a fuko in the meh-rathon tomorrow…

This deal sucks…literally sucks
@clcaruthers How do you come up with this killer comedy ?
On sale a few months ago for $320 on multiple websites
Corded dyson animal vacs are $249 on the quick google shopping search i just did. This one is $100+ more, and has a dust bin that is only .14 gal according to the Amazon description. That is about a pint, or the size of a soda bottle. If you own a border collie, that means stopping to empty the container a couple times per room. That is precisely why we don’t use our $500 roomba any more.
Wow. Meh is trying to suck all the money up with this deal.
Can it still be called a daily deal?
Ooh, someone in Missouri changed their mind.
I don’t need the Animal Cord, can you just send me the Free Vacuum?
Thanks!
@lichme
Want a free vacuum?
@lichme I’m more interested in the V8 myself.
@PlacidPenguin I feel like this is a trick question. Are you going to tell me to give it a sock?
@lichme
No. I was legitimately asking if you wanted a free vacuum.
@PlacidPenguin Not sure how to answer that. I have a perfectly functional shark rotator vacuum and don’t need a new one, I was just making a funny at how the deal title formatted on my screen. However, need is not the same as want. I want this one for free in a “bank error in your favor” kinda way.
Meh is turning into Woot (the Dyson site)
@jewelshound Horrible thing to say !
So I actually had ordered this from you guys. Then I noticed that yours has a one year warranty while Amazon’s has a two year warranty. So your comparison with their pricing isn’t exactly honest. For such a high priced vacuum that extra year of warranty matters so I went ahead and canceled my order here and ordered one from Amazon. With Prime I’ll get it a lot quicker as well.
@strikes2k I thought the new one normally had more than a year.
@sflesch On Amazon it does have a longer warranty - 2 years. The description on Meh says it’s one year. I’m assuming that’s one of the reasons they can sell it cheaper. They may have negotiated a shorter warranty when purchasing them from Dyson.
@strikes2k Perhaps. Or perhaps it’s an error?

I prefer my Dyson Animal vacuums refurbished. They have bits of real animal in them.
@mehcuda67
Oh, look, another tremendously expensive thing that’s barely even discounted at all.
Meh.
It.
To.
HELL!!
@Dizavid so in for one?
Bed Bath and Beyond has it for $340 with their 20% off coupon, with the full 2 year warranty. Meh!
Also, did you know Dyson has unique serial numbers for each vacuum? Most stores that sell Dysons can tell you where you got it from, and approximately when (since the actual serials are not scanned in when you check out).
@Dilt I was gonna mention this, but Dyson is on their huge list of exclusions. Read the fine print.
@lichme Their exclusions list is not fully followed in most of their stores - most items still allow the coupons to apply. Kate Spade being one big offender here. That list is some contractual thing for some specific items I guess?
@Dilt @lichme
Exactly. Some manufacturers are kinda sniffy about “enforcing” their MSRP’s… at least officially and publicly. BOSE being the classic example.
The real world on the retail floor is often another story entirely.
Sheeeeeeit. My Woot-bought Dyson Animal cordless literally just died tonight.
/giphy chin-stroke
@tizio Better check your security cameras. Maybe you’ll see the meh troll.
I’d like to have one of these, but for the price, it would have to bathe, brush, clip, trim nails, feed and water, and walk my dogs. Thanks anyway.
So Meh, so very, very Meh
Isnt soft roller head included with absolute models? I think they are mixed with model name or just messing with us…
@trolldog I think you’re right. That would be interesting if it did. Do they ever respond to questions here?
@sflesch normally, yes. Even tho I’ve noticed some Meh employees star some comments, they seem to be a bit bashful themselves today.
Perhaps that is part of the “new rather than refurb Dyson” experiment ground rules.
Is this the right site?
Always buy a dyson at Costco or Bed bath and Beyond…so when they break, and break they will, you can return it and exchange it. We get a constant supply of the last 4 years of Dysons (65,40,41 and Multifloors) in for bad switches, power head assemblies and main motors…and right now, all these parts are on national backorder…The sticks fair a little better, but the batteries go after 2 years…just when they are out of warranty…

@fastharry wow, so these Dysons are kinda on a rental program for you?
I’ll wait for the next Shark vacuum meh. So far the two I’ve purchased have compared favorably to the Dyson I bought years ago, and I have no regrets switching to the cheaper Shark.
@stienman Sharks are bottom feeders. You save money because they don’t work or last.
@DocWyeth I don’t know about that. Our dyson lasted 4 years. So far the shark powerhead has lasted one year and cost less than 1/4 what the Dyson cost. The suction has been equivalent, but on top of that it’s lighter (kids can handle it more easily) and smaller so it’s easier to handle around the house.

Are Dyson products really worth the premium that they charge, or are you just paying for cool designs? (see: Dyson fan)
@cajun My sil loves hers. I’m seriously looking for a good deal on one.
@cajun no and yes.
@cajun I would probably never have bought one myself because of the price, but I got a Dyson ball animal as a gift. Now, I’m a crazed fan of Dyson and will never look elsewhere. It is light, versatile and has great suction.
@cajun I heard that some dysons are so powerful, they void carpet warranties if you use them. No joke.
@cajun @goldnectar It’s not that the suction is too powerful, but the beater bar is. Any stray yarns could be easily ripped out, damaging the carpet.
Do I feel they’re worth the premium? No. Will I buy one when it’s more reasonably priced? Yes. My sub-$20 thrift store Dyson works way better than any other sub-$20 thrift store vacuums I purchased before.
Apply this model to a decent (but perhaps last-year’s-model) soundbar and I’d be in.

No. And if you can’t afford to get one, don’t get one. But, if you have the money and want to make your life easier, these things are great. Oh, and don’t bother with the Absolute. We hardly use the extra attachments.
My Shark is Scary Good for around 109.00. No Freaking way am I gonna spend almost $400.00 for a Dyson… Ty anyway… MEH. I have decided I have a serious Vacuum Fetish, however, I CAN RESIST THIS!!! Muhahaha.
The one I have is a static shock generator. Maybe it’s all the cat hair…
I would like to thank meh for wasting my entire day doing research and reading reviews on vacuums to save $30 over amazon. Alas, after a full day of I should, no I shouldn’t, yes I should, no I shouldn’t, I finally broke down at 10:40 (my time) and made the purchase. I am hoping the payoff will come when my kids no longer have any excuses;) please, no more expensive items that take up way too much time in my circus brain!
