Black Friday is over, but apparently the good folks over at Dyson haven't heard. In fact, its Cyber Week sale – ending in two days – is providing one of our favourite deals of the month with up to 52% off two of its most impressive cordless vacuums.

The two vacuums in question are the Dyson Gen5detect Absolute and Gen5outsize Absolute, and they're very similar machines. The Gen5outsize is better suited to larger homes thanks to its bigger dustbin and larger cleaning heads, while the standard Gen5detect would be ideal for most people's needs.

Both of them come with four-figure price tags, which usually makes it difficult to recommend a Dyson over some of its more competitively priced alternatives, but these discounts remedy that – and then some!

Luckily, you don't have to spend a fortune on either thanks to these extended Black Friday sales. We think 51% off the Gen5outsize – down to just AU$799 – is the better-value discount as it's only AU$11 more than the best price on the smaller Gen5detect that's now AU$788.

The Gen5outsize is simply a beast of a cleaner. This variant comes with the Fluffy Optic head, which boasts a precisely angled beam of light to highlight invisible dirt. It also includes the Digital Motorbar XL head, which covers 25% more ground, giving it its ‘Outsize’ moniker, as does it bigger bin. This Absolute model also comes with a crevice tool, hair screw tool and the two-in-one combination tool. The wall-mounted charging dock is also included.

Now Dyson's #2 cordless vacuum, sitting just behind the newly released V16 Piston Animal – the Gen5detect is quite the sucker (in the best of ways). You get all the same tools in this bundle as above – though the XL Motorbar head is swapped out for the regular size. This makes it a fantastic addition to any home. It tackles hair with ease and can last for up to 70 minutes with non-motorised tools.

While we've only tested the Detect model, we have a complete guide explaining the differences between the Gen5detect and Gen5outsize. It's simple, though – the Outsize is bigger.

In all other facets, the machines are the same. This is why we think the Outsize is the deal to buy right now, even if your home isn't a large one. Both machines offer a 70 minute runtime, whole-machine HEPA filtration and a negligible difference in suction power (280AW for the Detect and 250AW for the Outsize).

Plus, there's no real drawback to the bigger model's size, other than the slightly more space it might take up to stow away, and it's only 0.4kg heavier.

If you want to spend less time vacuuming (and who doesn't?), the Outsize is worth the extra money purely for its larger head and 1.9L dustbin (compared to the Detect's 0.8L).

However, if you are genuinely crunched for space or don't think you'll hit that 70-minute maximum run time, the Detect is a stellar machine in its own right, perhaps making that AU$11 better spent elsewhere.
