Price plummets on the Dyson V7 Animal Pro+ cordless vacuum on Prime Day

Dyson has homes with petsin mind with the V7 Animal Pro+ cordless vacuum. This versatile stick vacuum comes with a collection of extra cleaning tools for the whole house because if you have pets, especially a dog or three, you need more than the usual tools that come with vacuums, even Dyson’s.

More on pet cleanup below, but Dyson’s V7 can give you up to 30 minutes of powerful suction per battery charge. That time only includes when you’re’ actually running the vacuum, not just moving it from room to room. Note that using the motorized cleaning tools will shorten the battery run time between charges. We track Dyson vacuums of all types, and the deal on this multifunction cleaner can help you save up to $120 on Prime Day.

The Dyson design lets you switch vacuum configurations quickly, depending on what you want to clean. So one minute you’re pushing a the direct-drive power cleaning head on carpeting but then you spot a spider web in the ceiling corner. Click a couple of buttons, and you have a powerful handheld vac with a long blue tube to remove the web.

Crumbs under the kids’ car seats and ground into the upholstery? Use the V7 Animal in handheld mode with the mini-motorized cleaning tool to do the job.

And about dogs. Even if you have non-shedding dogs, they still have hair. Hair falls off dogs’ bodies, just as with human heads. We have a black, non-shedding Doodle. Her dark wisps of hair are on the floor, typically near the baseboard but also in corners and under furniture. If you have forced-air heating and cooling, as we do, the circulating air has patterns you may never feel, but you can tell they’re there because the dog hair tends to accumulate in the same areas. That’s why Dyson’s V7 Animal Pro+ adds on extra tools.

In addition to the standard direct-drive cleaner head, the Pro+ has the mini-motorized tool, a Flexi Crevice tool for reaching way back, a stubborn dirt brush, plus a combination cleaning tool and a standard crevice tool.

When you finish cleaning, or you need to recharge the battery, take the Dyson V7 back to the docking module to store it while it charges. On the way stop at a trash bin and use the single action, gravity-powered hygienic dirt ejector to empty the dustbin without getting all dusty.

Normally priced at $400, the pet-centric Dyson V7 Animal Pro+ cordless stick vac is just $280 during the Prime Day 2019 sale. If you want a versatile cordless stick vac that includes the extra tools you’ll need to clean up all the fur, hair, and wispies even non-shedding dogs spread around, this is the one.

Prime Day in October: Get a pack of 12 AA rechargeable batteries for $18
AmazonsBasics AA batteries being inserted into a game controller.

As much as we try to avoid it, sometimes, you just have to buy those pesky household items you never want to spend money on. But if you're lucky, you can take advantage of some excellent discounts, like Prime Day deals, which provide the perfect opportunity to stock up. Amazon's Prime Day Big Deal Days event makes those discounts even sweeter. While we are close to an AA-battery-free world, it hasn't happened yet. Fortunately, we have a rechargeable option to spend less money and throw fewer batteries into landfills. Right now, you can get a 12-pack of Amazon Basic rechargeable batteries for just $18, thanks to a 10% discount on Prime Day. This deal will likely only stick around during the sale, so if your battery drawer is running low, grab them as soon as possible.

 
Why you should buy Amazon AA rechargeable batteries during the Prime Day Big Deal Days sale
Of course, there's not much I can tell you about batteries that you don't already know. These Amazon Basics brand AAs have a 2,000 mAh storage capacity. That's lower than a traditional alkaline battery, but it has enough power to last for a good three to four hours of continuous use. Then the rechargeable factor comes in. You can recharge these batteries about 1,000 times before they die out. Think about how many batteries it will save you -- and how much money. Let's do some quick napkin math. 1,000 recharges... alkaline batteries cost around one-third the price of a rechargeable... factor in the difference in storage capacity... It could be as much as $300 in savings over a single battery's lifetime. A lot less waste too.

The best October Prime Day power strip deals happening today
A power strip attached under a desk.

Chances are, if you have a computer you also have a power strip. Between your desktop tower, two or three of the best monitors, and a strategically placed lamp or two, your computer corner is going to be filled with things that need plugging in. Standard two plug outlets just cannot keep up.

But, let's face it, chances are your power strip is older. That means it likely to not have as high-powered of surge protection as modern devices. Or, if it is really old it might not even have USB ports on the top, which you can get now for just a few dollars extra. Plus, really old devices tend to have their unused ports in a dangerously unusable state, filled with dust.
