This is my first deal post, so please be gentle.
The Dyson Omni-Glide is being offered at Walmart for $249.99.
https://www.walmart.com/ip/Dyson-...hbdg=L1600
It comes with a few extra tools. I bought mine at QVC for around $300 a month or so ago and am quite pleased with it. If anyone has any questions about how it fits in with the rest of the Dyson ecosystem, I'm happy to answer questions to the extent that I know about them.
Note that this model is mostly for hard floors (although it does have a mini-floor tool with a powered brush roll). The tools are compatible with the Dyson Micro, I believe, but they are not compatible with the Dyson v7, v8, etc., even though their attachment mechanisms look similar.

I'm trying to gather the information for the sake of comparison but for some reason I'm having trouble accessing parts of Dyson's web site. Here are some approximate figures:
Dyson Omniglide:
Weight: 4.25 pounds
Air suction power: 50 AW
Run-time: 20 minutes
Dyson v7:
Weight: 5.45 pounds fully assembled
Air suction power: 100 AW
Run time in normal mode: 30 minutes
Dyson v8:
The Dyson v8 OLD model is I think about 5.8 pounds. They released a new model recently with a hair-filtering motorhead brush that is about 5.5 pounds if I remember correctly.
Weight: ~5.5 pounds
Air suction power: 110 AW (approximated, I'm not sure)
Run time: The old v8 ran for at least 40 minutes in normal mode. However, reviews tended to favor the v7's performance in tests for reasons that were never clear to me. I don't know if this was improved with the new v8.
Dyson v12 Slim:
Weight: 5.2 pounds
Air Suction: 150 AW
Run-time: 60 minutes
The Dyson v12 Slim is the new hotness. It has a laser cleaner head and I would love to have one. It's priced at about $650 which is a lot but reasonable compared to the Dyson v15.
None of these models is going to be a great replacement for a corded vacuum--the dust bins are too small. If you want a cordless replacement for a full-fledged vacuum, then you should look at the Dyson Outsize models (which have an outsized price tag to boot lol).
The Dyson Omni-Glide's claim to fame is its dual brush swiveling fuzzy roller head. This thing is two fuzzy brush rolls that spin in opposite directions, which feed dirt and crumbs on hard floords into the vacuum's maw. These cleaning heads are mounted in an assembly on ball bearings, and using it is just plain fun. I know it sounds a little gimmicky--I would just watch a video and see if you like the way it maneuvers.
It doesn't need a lot of suction to do its job. It also features some of the latest features of the newest Dyson models--no trigger to push to run the vacuum, a replaceable battery, and an in-line dust bin (though whether this is good or not is debatable).
The dust bin is a little easier to fully remove from the motor.
It also has a charging cradle that doesn't need to be mounted to charge the main unit. It is a little cradle that can rest on a table and you can place the unit (or even just the battery, or an extra battery) on the unit to charge.
Who should buy this? Honestly, probably someone with almost entirely hard flooring, someone that already has another Dyson (if they like using it for more serious vacuuming), or someone who already has a full-fledged corded vacuum.
What I can say is that it's a pleasure to use and I'm really enjoying it. This is a good price, and you can think of it as a very sleek, sexy dust buster with some upholstery tools to boot.
I hope that helps. If you have any other questions, ask away. I only have a Dyson v7 and I'm not that interested in the heavier models but I've been researching Dyson a lot over the past 6 months or so. I'd love to help anyone who thinks they may enjoy using a Dyson pick the right one and get a good deal on it. My knowledge of other vacuums is limited, but I've done enough researching that I could probably tell you if you might not like a Dyson. It's really about having fun doing some light vacuuming though.
By the way, if it's OK I'd like to rep the web site Modern Castle. I learned a lot of info from the guy that runs that site, and he's very helpful. He has loads of Dyson reviews. There are likely better Dyson resources out there, but a lot of them are coming from the perspective of the UK market and reference a lot of legacy machines and/or machines that are not (and may never be) made available in the US.
Stick with the V's models.
Overall I think the rtings doesn't know how to really test vacuums. From all I could find, this excels at what it is intended for. Very quick and easy cleaning of hardwood floors.

Hi, I currently have a dyson v7 (5+ yrs old) but I am moving to a new house and it has a mix of hardwood floors+ carpet on 2nd floor and hardwood+ area rugs on 1st floor. I do not have the v7 soft roller brush. Was looking to purchase a new vacuum considering the hardwood floors and maybe divide a vacuum between each floor (as long as the v7 works). I know cordless stick vacuums are not as good as corded upright or canister ones for carpets. But I know I will vacuum more frequently if they are light weight. So which model would you suggest for a mix of carpets/rugs and hardwood floors (especially among the newer ones like v10- missed on the v10 allergy deal on walmart, v11, v12 and v15). Is the v15 worth the price for a carpet deep clean? Would you recommend any other brands instead? Thanks in advance!
