dyson v15 lcd screen for sale

Dyson is a leader in the vacuum game with their top-notch technology and user-friendly designs. We even named their V8 Absolute one of the best vacuums at one point. They continuously make reliable, easy-to-use, and powerful vacuums, and with their latest release, the V15 Detect, they’ve created their most intelligent vacuum yet. But does a gadget meant to pick up dirt and grime need to be so smart?

Dyson has included tons of versatile attachments for all-purpose cleaning with the V15 Detect vacuum. The Laser Slim Fluffy cleaner head can be removed for a more basic Digital Motorbar, which I use as my default attachment. The Digital Motorbar effectively picks up dust and long hair from carpet and hardwood floors. I have been most impressed with its anti-tangle properties. My roommate and I both have long hair that can hide in our carpet. The Motorbar picks up all of our hair without clogging the suction source, something that has happened with other vacuums I’ve used in the past.

My other favorite tool is the combination one. I’ve used that for cleaning my baseboard and in hard-to-reach cracks. Most of the other attachments have sat collecting dust in my cleaning supplies storage corner. While Dyson makes it extremely easy to affix all of their attachments, my laziness gets the better of me and I stick to what I know. I’m already cleaning my floors, I can’t be bothered to figure out which is the upholstery attachment to clean a couch that I carried off of the streets of New York for free.

In my testing, I found that the laser performed best in dark or dimly lit rooms. In areas with natural light or overhead lights, it was hardly useful. I also found that the Slim Laser Fluffy attachment featured noticeably less suction than the Motorbar. I also didn’t understand its mission. It illuminates the path of the vacuum meaning it lights up dust I’m already planning to roll over. During my six months of testing the V15 Detect, I never opted for this attachment when I actually wanted to clean my floors. It was a fun party gag to show off to friends, but I was so impressed with the Motorbar I never wanted to take it off.

The actual “scientific proof” of a deep clean displayed on the screen proved less useful. Frankly, before writing this review, I didn’t really even know what the little bars represented. Yes, I could have read the manual or conducted a quick Google search, but ultimately the proof of a deep clean is in the pudding, or in this case, the floor. My carpet has truly never looked so fluffy and fresh and I could see how much dirt and hair was collecting in the dustbin after even a five-minute clean of what looked to me like a mostly clean floor. If you’re super into gadgets, perhaps this is a fun upgrade, but it’s not crucial to the performance of the V15 Detect.

While I absolutely loved the power and suction on this vacuum, it’s not entirely necessary to buy. Dyson makes other stick vacuums that are almost as high-powered for a much lower price. The intelligent features on the V15 Detect went mostly unused or under-appreciated. The average vacuum user doesn’t need cleaning reports or lasers, they just want something that will quickly and effectively clean their floors. This vacuum certainly did that, but the upgrades make for a high price without much payoff.

Let’s be honest. No one wants to lug around a heavy vacuum with bulky cords. Of course, it’s a necessity to vacuum your home, but we believe that such a mundane task should be kind of enjoyable. That’s where a lightweight, cordless vacuum comes in. And when it comes to the best cordless vacuums, Dyson’s offerings are unmatched. With unique technology that delivers the cleanest floors, it’s no shock that the vacuums come with a high price tag. But right now, you can score this vacuum at Best Buy for $170 off during the retailer’s Cyber Monday event — plus a handful of their other best-selling models all for $100 off or more.

The Dyson V8 Cordless Vacuum is specifically crafted for easy and quick cleaning, thanks to its powerful suction that works on any surface. Even though the vacuum doesn’t have a cord, it does have up to 40 minutes of run time.

Reviewers call this Dyson cordless vacuum a “must have” and “the only vacuum you will ever need,” with pet owners in particular raving about how light and easy to use the device is for daily use. One reviewer even writes that they “can’t stop vacuuming” since the machine is just that lightweight, powerful, and easy to pick up and use.

For an even more powerful and long-lasting vacuuming experience, try the V10 Cordless Vacuum from Dyson, which runs up to 60 minutes at a time and has a .2 gallon bin capacity 1400 watts of power at its disposal. Now on sale for $150 off, this model is beloved by reviewers for its powerful suction and ability to get into small, hard-to-reach crevices.

Finally, for the true Rolls Royce of vacuums, the Dyson V15 Detect cordless vacuumis currently $100 off and uses laser technology to reveal “invisible dust” in its path, picking up even microscopic particles and automatically adjusting suction strength as needed to offer the deepest clean. No more switching between modes as you move from floor to carpet: This vacuum does it for you, and also shows you a run time countdown, power mode, and details on how much you’re picking up as it goes on the attached LCD screen.

Dyson doesn"t stick to chronological order when naming its stick vacuum models. Sometimes it skips numbers, and sometimes it"ll introduce a lower number as a later model than a higher number. For example, Dyson introduced the V15 immediately after the V11, and then the V12 after the V15. In the broadest sense, the numbers seem to loosely grow larger with each passing release—the V11 is newer than the V10, and the V10 is newer than the V8. But Dyson"s naming system is cryptic enough that even we can"t predict what the subsequent model will be.

Dyson also has a lot of sub-models, because its naming scheme isn"t confusing enough. Each one has a different number of included tool attachments and accessories. Every model (V7, V8, V10, V11, V15, etc.) seems to introduce new sub-models, so the list just keeps growing, and then there are discontinued sub-models that show up as old stock on websites, typically on sale.

Detect isn"t exactly a sub-model, but rather part of the name of the V15 Detect and V12 Detect Slim. It refers to the laser detection system that measures particle size and count to customize suction power.

Allergy used to mean that it came with an upgraded filter that traps 99.99 percent of bacteria and dust so it expels cleaner air than regular models, but after the V7 all Dyson stick vacs started including the upgraded filters. It"s largely a legacy designation now, and it hasn"t been used on newer models.

Motorhead sounds fancy, but it"s the low-end sub-model that comes with a motorized head, a couple of basic brush and crevice tools, and that"s about it. Mostly a holdover from the V7 days. Dyson has found other names for basic sub-models.

Dyson isn"t above combining sub-model names too. Basically, the more names Dyson slaps onto a model, the more attachments it comes with. For example, the V8 Animal Pro comes with more stuff than the Animal, but the Animal Pro+ comes with even more than that.

We currently recommend the entry-level Dyson V8 series, as well as the top-tier Dyson V15 series, which has consistently outcleaned every other cordless stick vacuum we’ve tried.

However, the new Dyson V12 Detect Slim, released earlier this year, offers many of the features we love on the V15 for about $150 less. After spending about eight hours testing the V12 on a mix of rugs, tiles, vinyl floors, and hardwood floors—generously covered with cat and bunny fur, kitty litter, and bunny poop—we’ve concluded that the V12 Detect Slim is worth considering as an alternative to the V15, especially if you can find it for $500 or less.

This new cordless vacuum has many of the same clever features as the pricier V15, such as a laser headlight, a particle counter, and auto-adjusting suction. And it’s more comfortable to use.

We have long complained about the discomfort of Dyson’s trigger-style switches, which you have to squeeze while vacuuming—it’s particularly bothersome if you have hand or wrist pain. The V12 trades that uncomfortable feature for a simple on/off button. You are now free to switch hands while navigating around table legs and litter boxes! This is a huge advantage over the V8 and V15 series.

At 5.2 pounds, the V12 is skinnier and slightly lighter than the V8, our current runner-up, and much lighter than the V15 Detect, which weighs 6.8 pounds. Like the V15’s motor, the V12’s is positioned vertically on top of the stick (as opposed to perpendicular to it, as on the V8). This design helps the V12 feel more balanced and easier to maneuver.ModelV8 AbsoluteV12 Detect SlimV12 Detect Slim ExtraV15 Detect

The Dyson V8 is better than nearly all other cordless vacuums (besides other Dysons) at deep-cleaning rugs. Though the trigger-style power switch and built-in battery can be frustrating for some people, this vacuum has had excellent reviews from owners over many years. Try to wait for a sale, when it costs less than $400.

If you want a cordless vacuum that fully replaces a plug-in, a high-end Dyson is as close as it gets. The Dyson V15 is actually better than lots of plug-in vacuums at cleaning rugs. Owners love the auto-adjusting suction.

Do you need a laser on your vacuum? Probably not, but as we note in our guide, in typical Dyson fashion the laser is part gimmick and part actual innovation. Like the V15, the V12 features a green laser headlight, which illuminates your path and helps reveal dirt and debris.

Like the V15, the V12 features an LCD screen with a particle counter, which estimates the size and type of particles the vacuum has sucked up. It will tell you, depending on particle size, whether you live in a pollen-, skin-flake-, dust-mite- or flea-ridden home. (My house? All of the above!) But all jokes aside, is there anything you can actually do with this information? Not really, aside from wallowing in how gross the world is. The only practical feature on the LCD screen is the run-time countdown, so you can race against the clock to make your little corner of the world a cleaner place.

A well-featured vacuum that has the power and battery life to handle everything we threw at it, our one major quibble with the V15 Detect, as you can read below, is its high price. This stonking deal from Dyson has gone a good way to addressing that, taking a massive £149 off the Detect price when we reviewed (and this + model has even more tools).

Dyson’s cordless stick vacuum cleaners need little introduction, and have a history of being both the best and most expensive models money can buy. The Dyson V15 Detect Absolute is the latest generation to join the clan and, as you’d expect, it’s more powerful and feature-packed than any model Dyson has launched to date.

There’s nothing new about the shape and size of the V15, which is very similar to the V11. However, it introduces anti-tangle technology to two of its motorised heads, which prevents the rollers becoming clogged with long hair.

There’s also a laser mounted on the hard floor motorised head, which highlights even the tiniest dust particles so you can see how clean, or dirty, your floor still is. Lastly, the V15 now counts the particles it collects, so you can keep tabs on how much dust and filth it’s picking up.

At first glance you’d be forgiven for questioning whether anything has changed, because the Dyson V15 looks so remarkably similar to its predecessors. It measures 249 x 267 x 1,260mm (WDH) with the wand and motor head attached, and it weighs 3.08kg.

There are also two new anti-tangle heads, which work in slightly different ways to keep your carpet brushes free from tangled hair. The main floor head, which Dyson calls the High Torque Cleaner, combs hair out of its brush as it goes, lifting hair away from the roller and passing it through to the vacuum tube.

For once, the latest Dyson isn’t the most expensive vacuum in the range. At £50 more, that honour falls to the V11 Outsize, which has a bigger dust collection bin and a wider cleaning head than the V15. If you have a large house and a lot of floor to cover, the V11 Outsize is probably a more sensible choice, although it does lack the anti-tangle attachments and dust-detection technologies.

If you can’t stretch to £649 for a vacuum, that’s completely understandable, and stepping down in price doesn’t mean compromising on quality. The Dyson V8, despite its age, is still a worthy contender at £349.

For the real bargains, you need to walk away from the Dyson stable entirely and check out its cordless rivals. Both the Vax Blade 4 and Vax Blade 3 did a good job of cleaning in our tests and prices on those start at a very reasonable £169.

For a smaller, lighter model that doesn’t cost as much as the Dysons, the Eufy HomeVac S11 Infinity costs a mere £230 at Eufy, and comes with plenty of handy accessories and a useful second battery.

The Absolute in this Dyson’s name lets you know that this is the model that comes with all the extras, and the box is certainly overflowing with attachments. I’ve already mentioned the three motorised floor heads, but there’s also a selection of other accessories: a crevice tool for getting into nooks and crannies; a soft brush tool for agitating and collecting dust on delicates; and a handy combination tool, which can either be a brush or a simple angled tube.

As for the design, that follows the same template that has been in place since the V10. The main vacuum unit containing the device’s motor and cyclones sits above a pistol grip handle. The 0.76-litre dust collection bin is mounted forward of this, between the motor and any attachment you might be using. There’s a button on the rear for swapping between the various modes and an LCD display above it.

The Dyson V15 Detect Absolute doesn’t have the heft of the V11 Outsize’s 3.5kg, but it still passes the 3kg mark comfortably. Coupled with the powerful suction, I found this was a considerable weight to push around, particularly on thicker carpet. If you want something lighter and more manoeuvrable, the Eufy HomeVac S11 Infinity would be our pick.

In terms of suction power, this is Dyson’s most powerful vacuum to date. Dyson vacuums cut out if their airways are blocked, so measuring suction is problematic using our usual vacuum pressure gauge. At the Dyson V15 Detect Absolute’s maximum setting, peak suction reached 31kPa, at which point the vacuum cut out.

This translates well into cleaning power. On a short-pile carpet, in a single pass of the High Torque motorised head on standard power, it collected 92% of a measured spillage of Cheerios. Those that weren’t collected tended to be scattered by the powerful spinning brush, so I performed the test again on the V15’s lower-powered Economy setting, and it collected 96% of the spill.

I tried both the large floor heads on Cheerios spills on a hard floor and the result in each test was perfection. The Dyson V15 Detect Absolute collected 100% of the spilled material; an exceptional performance. I kept the soft head on for the flour test and it gathered every last gram.

Operating the V15 requires you to hold down a trigger so you can’t accidentally leave it running. It has three power modes: Economy, Max and Auto, the latter adapting automatically to the surface you’re cleaning. You select between the modes using the button on the rear of the main vacuum unit.

Here, a colour LCD screen shows which mode you have selected and how long the cleaner has left before the battery will run out. During cleaning, it also displays information generated by the last of the Dyson’s new features: its acoustic dust sensor.

This “listens” to dust particles bouncing off it as they pass, both counting and categorising them by size, then displaying what it has collected in a bar chart on the screen. I have to admit I don’t see the benefit of this. Dyson argues it helps reassure you that a deep clean has occurred, but arguably you get that from seeing the collection bin fill up with muck.

On Economy mode, I found the battery lasted 50 minutes, while you’ll only see 11 minutes of cleaning on the Max setting. Recharging the battery takes around 4hrs 30mins. The Dyson V11 Outsize lasts longer in its low-power mode (nearly 1hr 20mins), but much less time in maximum-power mode (9mins 8secs).

To empty the V15’s collection bin, you have to remove any accessories. Then you can simply hold the unit over your bin and pull down the lever to open a trap door in the bottom, which ejects the dirt. It’s a reasonably straightforward process that works well, but it can be a bit of a fiddle to remove the accessory you’re using mid-clean just to have to clip it back on again.

Dyson has done it again. This cordless stick vacuum cleaner tackled everything we threw at it, with cleaning power that’s just as good as its previous models, and backs this up with a slew of new and worthwhile features.

The three redesigned motorised heads are all eminently useful. Anti-tangle rollers aren’t new to vacuuming, but it’s good to see Dyson finally embracing the technology, and the dust-spotting laser leaves you in no doubt your hard floor is clean. The Dyson V15 Detect Absolute is the best cordless vacuum you can buy right now.
