Editor’s Note: This deal is no longer active, but there’s another Dyson at Target for just $279 worth considering—the Dyson V8 Origin. It’s cordless, lightweight, and discounted $150 while supplies last. Plus, nearly 200 Target reviewers are satisfied shoppers, giving this deal a 4.1 out of 5 stars.

With many retailers running Black Friday deals, now is one of the best times of the year to buy a Dyson vacuum. The manufacturer’s advanced technologies and reputation typically come with a higher price tag, like its upright vacuums that start at approximately $500. Luckily, you can snag one for yourself with one of the best Dyson Black Friday deals we’ve seen yet: the Dyson Ball Animal Origin Vacuum, which is on sale for less than $300 at Target.

The Ball Animal Origin features many of the hallmarks we’ve come to expect with Dyson vacuums. It utilizes a patented Radial Root Cyclone Technology for increased suction power. It switches between wood floors and carpet automatically, lifting its stiff bristles when rolled over hard floors and lowering them when used over carpet to suction dust, dirt, and other debris trapped in carpet pile.

The namesake ball design also helps users change direction with ease, which proves especially useful when switching from flooring to other surfaces. Plus, its extendable wand reaches 15 feet to clean cobwebs from the ceiling corners, deep into seat crevices, and other hard-to-reach spaces.

Frankly, many of these design specs are similar to that of our favorite Dyson vacuum, the Ball Animal 2—but this one is nearly half the price.

Get the Dyson Ball Animal Origin Vacuum at Target for $279.99 (Save $100).

A Target-Exclusive Dyson Black Friday Deal

Dyson features some exclusive models on its own site, but the manufacturer will also design exclusive products for its authorized retailers like Target, Best Buy, Sam’s Club, and Costco. This sub-$300 deal on a Dyson Ball Animal Origin Vacuum is exactly that, listed exclusively at Target. (Knowing this, the red coloring feels intentionally unique from other Dyson magenta and silver offerings.) In fact, no Origin vacuums are sold via Dyson directly, however there are other comparable vacuums in the Dyson Ball Animal series.

The one big difference between the Origin and the rest of the Ball Animal line is also the reason that it’s such a steal: it only comes with two tools. Most Ball Animal vacuums priced higher than $400 come with at least three accessories, however the combination tool (an extendable brush with a wide nozzle) and stair tool (a carpet- and upholstery-ready attachment) are the most essential and frequently used tools among the Dyson vacuum users on the Bob Vila team.

Otherwise, you can feel confident in the performance of this Target-exclusive model. It has already earned nearly 1,100 positive reviews on the retailer’s website from shoppers who have put it to the test at home. “It picks up carpet saturated with per hair in a single pass,” says one Target shopper. Pick up this incredible deal while it lasts.
