The Dyson Ball Animal upright vacuum is known for its powerful suction, but it h been known for being affordable … until today. In a rare sale for this model, Best Buy has slashed the price by $250. Originally, this vacuum was listed at $500, but now you can get it for just $250, saving you 50%. While we see plenty of discounts on this vacuum, a discount this deep only occurs a couple times each year, and we’ve never seen it drop any lower than this. So if you’ve been wanting to upgrade your vacuum to something with truly impressive capabilities, act fast.

The Dyson Ball Animal is an upright vacuum with a bagless design that makes cleanup easy: Dirt releases from the hygienic bin with the push of a button. It works on all floor types with stiff, short bristles that perform well on hardwood while getting deep into carpets. And it self-adjusts for optimal performance with different carpet lengths. You can get to hard-to-reach spots with the instant-release wand, and maneuver the vacuum easily around your entire home, since it moves on a ball. And wherever you take it, it will deliver a thorough clean. The Radial Root Cyclone technology sucks up dirt and allergens, trapping them in a washable HEPA filter.

One customer called the Dyson Ball Animal “the best vacuum I have ever owned,” and more than 1,500 Best Buy customers weighed in to rate this vacuum an average of 4.6/5 stars. Five expert reviewers gave this vacuum an average rating of 4.9/5 stars. Rest assured, it will get the job done, but if you’re looking for a cordless stick vacuum, one of our other Dyson deals might be a better fit.

The Dyson Ball Animal is the least expensive Dyson model available right now, thanks to the 50% discount, and it’s also one of the most popular vacuum choices. While you would have had to drop a whopping $500 on this vacuum at its list price, you can now snag one at an affordable $250. We’ve never seen a deeper discount on this vacuum, and this price is a rare opportunity. Act fast before they sell out or this deal comes to an end.

Apple’s October 13 “Welcome Home” event is just days away, and new details of the company’s long-rumored smart home hub have surfaced. According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, the device will be called HomeView and is expected to ship around mid-November, several weeks after Apple shows it off on October 13.

We have been hearing about this device for quite some time. Earlier reports described a roughly 6-inch square display that could sit on a countertop or mount to a wall, recognize different members of a household, and act as the central controller for everything from locks and thermostats to smart speakers. The latest report fills in some of the biggest remaining blanks.

The new Anker SOLIX S5000 is a 5,024Wh portable power station that pairs 4,500W of rated output with 120V and 240V support, built-in wheels, and a telescoping handle.

As per official claims, a single unit can keep a collection of essential household devices running for 48 hours during an outage, while additional batteries can expand the system from 5kWh all the way to 30kWh.
