Based on historical numbers it's gone for new at this price if I'm not mistaken.

I dont think so. Search here on SD. They are all refurbished at this price.

One example. https://slickdeals.net/share/android_app/t/14547896

Nonetheless, it's not a horrible price but 6 month warranty kind of has me leaning towards no, I'd rather pay a little more and get the full 2 year warranty

That deal could and should have been hotter than it got attention for.

BBB's 20% off coupons don't apply to Dyson products. so that deal required purchase of the $29/year Beyond+ membership. Stacking a 20% off with the $50 credit though is a very strong sub $250 price for a new one.

Refurbished V10 units from Dyson have been released through Walmart most recently, and at around $270-280, those deals get a lot of attention and sell out. There is the attractive option of adding a third-party warranty in those cases, though -- I'm not sure if Squaretrade warranties are being offered through the eBay purchases, and if it's at a similar price.

V10 Absolute has been showing up on this price often. This one's animal. Check sd history. I picked up an absolute for this price a month ago.
I would say wait for an absolute deal to show up again rather than getting an animal.

Good distinction!

I spotted and got the same thing (refurbished V10 Absolute) directly from the Dyson website recently for $299, which isn't as good as the Walmart deals, but I'm boycotting them anyway, so it worked out

BBB's 20% off coupons *usually* don't apply.

I got my v15 with a 20% off coupon, but they closed that loophole within a week...

Indeed! I started my vacuum shopping about a week or two late to have caught that deal, and am half-kicking myself, but also glad I wasn't tempted to upgrade at 2-3x the cost (compared to the V10 I ended up getting). How are you liking it so far?

That's exactly the difference, and a bit weird that the newer/better head is cheaper, with nothing else being different.

I forgot where I read it, but somebody said there are tiers or levels of the condition of refurbished units, and somebody said that the eBay ones are "B-" or something like that, which makes some sense to me because I also bought a refurbished, but direct from Dyson, and it looks basically new. Perhaps they reserve nicer units ("A" tier?) for selling through their own website to protect the brand image a bit more closely.

In other words, I wonder if there is also slight variation in the condition of the actual units between this listing and the one you point out.

I'd say wait for the Absolute version which is usually this price or slightly cheaper. The reason why is because that one comes with the sought after Soft Roller (Fluffy Head) which by itself is worth $100+. The Absolute version includes both fluffy head and the one featured in this model (torque drive) and the rest of the accessories.

So far so good... As expected the laser is both cool (satisfying) to use, but also makes you feel REALLY dirty because suddenly you see stuff you didn't/couldn't see before.

It "sucks" pretty much as much as reviews say it's supposed to.

I was initially wishing I had two batteries (I know I can buy a 2nd at $150) but now that I've got it mounted and the newness has worn off, I'm thinking 1 battery will be just fine.

Ultimately, the key thing here (for me) is that I think we're going to vacuum the carpets more (and better) than we have in the past, which was the goal here. Everything else is just sort of a bonus.
