Get to those nooks and crannies, banish those dust bunnies, and make your home look and feel as spotless as it did when you first moved in.

Shoppers swear by the Dyson to handle messes both big and small. Established in 1991, the brand is synonymous with devices that are as beautiful as they are effective. They’re also expensive — which is when today’s Amazon Daily Deal kicks in.

Whether you’re looking for a vacuum that will give your home the deepest clean ever, something to occupy tiny tots, or even a backup battery pack in case of emergencies, Amazon has it marked down just for today. Don’t sit on this sale l too long — you only have until midnight to take advantage of the deals.

Dyson vacuums are known for being ultra-light and easy to maneuver, and this one is no different. The cleaner head self-adjusts, so you’re always getting the most powerful suction on hardwood, carpets, tile and more. The ball makes the vacuum easy to tilt and rotate, so you can get all those hard-to-reach spots under the bed and behind cabinets. One button empties out the bin, so you don’t have to deal with any bags or getting your hands dirty. Don’t let the “renewed” tag scare you off — the Dyson will look and work just like new.
