Every option the agent weighed
Dyson V8 Origin cordless vacuum Target · unresolved
Target's own help page confirms a 30-day, no-restocking-fee return policy, but the delivered total and delivery time could not be confirmed on Target's own site within the action budget (the product page attempted returned 'item not available').
- return window days: 30 days for electronics (no restocking fee, except opened mobile phones) target.com not the brand’s own page
Unresolved: total_price_usd; delivery_days; human_phone_support
Dyson V8 Absolute cordless vacuum Walmart · unresolved
Every attempt to read walmart.com (product page and two help-article URLs) returned a bot-verification/CAPTCHA screen, so no fact could be verified on Walmart's own property. Secondary aggregator sites report a favorable Walmart policy, but this is not brand-verified.

Dyson V8 cordless vacuum Best Buy · rejected
Search-indexed content citing Best Buy's own return-policy page shows a 14-day return window for non-members; the 30+ day window (60 days) is only available to paid Best Buy Plus/Total members, which the customer has excluded. This fails the returns requirement as stated.
- return window days: 14 days for non-members; 60 days only for paid Plus/Total members bestbuy.com not the brand’s own page
Unresolved: total_price_usd; delivery_days; human_phone_support
Dyson V8 cordless vacuum Dyson (dyson.com) · unresolved
Both the shop page and the returns-policy page on dyson.com returned 403 Forbidden, so price and return terms could not be verified on the brand's own site. Secondary sources suggest a list price near $540 (likely above budget) and a change-of-mind return policy requiring the item be unopened and unused, but neither is confirmed.
Unresolved: total_price_usd; return_window_days; delivery_days; human_phone_support
Dyson V8 cordless vacuum Amazon · not_investigated
Action budget was exhausted before this candidate could be researched; also flagged because the customer's prior bad experience was specifically with a third-party marketplace seller, which raises seller-identity risk that would need checking before considering an Amazon listing.

Cordless stick vacuum Costco · not_investigated
Action budget was exhausted before this candidate could be researched. Costco is widely known to require a paid membership for most online purchases, which would conflict with the no-membership requirement, but this was not verified this session and is only an inference.

What this customer remembered
- In March 2026 a marketplace order arrived damaged and the third-party seller refused the return; the platform took three weeks to refund after an escalation.
- The customer let a free trial of a paid retail membership roll into a paid year without noticing and had to argue for a refund.
