dyson v15 lcd screen quotation

When Dyson announced they’re done with R&D on uprights (after releasing the V10), I thought they were nuts. But subsequent models prove they mean business. The V15 Detect is Dyson’s latest, and they’ve managed to give it more power and performance but is it worth the high cost? We’ll find out in this review.

Unlike the Outsize, which’s really a jumbo version of the Torque Drive, the V15 is a true upgrade with several new technologies introduced. In the forefront is the green laser light on the fluffy slim attachment – which is my favorite. Next is the piezo sensor that counts and measures dust particles relayed on the LCD screen. Dyson somehow managed to increase suction further over the Outsize. Along with the improved brush roll, the V15 cleans carpet better.

After Dyson unveiled theV11 Torque Drive and Outsize, I’m not what upgrades they would put in aside from adding more power. But they’ve managed to improve upon these two models significantly with the V15 Detect.

The most worthwhile upgrade (in my opinion) would be this green laser on the slim roller attachment. One of my pet peeves with older Dyson cord-free products is the lack of an LED light, which many competing brands have.

Dyson added a piezo sensor right before the cyclones that counts and measures dust particles passing through. Once it detects a rise in quantity, it increases suction to compensate. This feature is similar to Tineco’s iLoop sensor, but it has another function measuring debris size (in microns).

Dyson added combs above the primary brush roll, which was absent in the V11 models. While I like how the V11 resists tangles, hair over above 11 inches will wrap on the brush.

Adding the combs along with the bump in power help the V15 untangle long hair strands better – better than the Shark Vertex cordless I tested previously.

Another upgrade worth noting is the newly designed mini turbo brush. Dyson calls this “hair screw tool” because of the torque-screw-like shape of the brush.

One of my pet peeves with Dyson cordless vacuums is its tools (or lack thereof). Dyson rectifies this somewhat with the V15 as it has more tools than any Dyson cord-free product.

Dirt volume for the V15 remains the same as the V11 Torque Drive at 0.77 liters. It has the same trombone type lever and point-and-shoot emptying approach.

Before the V15 came out, the V11 Outsize was the most powerful cordless vacuum I’ve tested in terms of airflow. But the V15 changes all that. As usual, I used an anemometer to measure in two critical areas – wand and cleaning head.

Suction tests confirm this bump in airflow as the V15 has the highest number of all Dyson cord-free products with 100″ of water lift(in the highest setting), six more than the DreameTech T30, and ten more than the V11 Outsize.

One benefit of the V15 is the smaller frame. It’s the same size as the V11 Torque Drive but with more power than the Outsize, so you’ll get the benefit of both the Torque Drive and Outsize in one product.

The bump in power is evident in the cleaning tests, where the V15 picked up a high percentage across the board – one of the highest ever (of all the vacuums I’ve tested).

Aside from coffee grounds, the V15 picked up 100% with other debris. One issue with the soft roller is that it spins rapidly and will scatter some debris forward, which is why it didn’t pick up 100% with coffee grounds.

Next, we’ll look at how well the V15 did on carpet, and it was better. The increase in suction and airflow was evident on this surface as it picked up a perfect 100% on all the tests.

Thicker pile carpet, same results – the V15 picked up a perfect score on this surface. And realize that I used the auto setting on these tests, which makes it more impressive.

The V15 is the best so far of all cordless vacuums at picking up hair regardless of surface. These results prove the combs and subtle improvements done on the brush works.

Being a Dyson product, there won’t be an issue with parts availability. Historically, consumers can still purchase replacement parts for models as old as the V6. Even earlier variants such as the DC-series have good parts availability.

Tracks dust like no other vacuum: The green laser is possibly a game-changer in how vacuum cleaners track dust. I’ve tried a lot of vacuums with LED headlights, each with varying success at such. But none of them can accentuate it as well as the V15 Detect.

Best cord-free deep cleaning option: While the V11 Outsize and Torque Drive can deep clean carpet, the V15 beats both, picking up 100% at the Eco setting.

Dyson ups the ante with the V15 Detect. All the upgrades with it help make home cleaning more efficient. For me, the most practical would be the green laser where dust particles are exposed in a manner not possible with an LED headlight.

It’s also an ideal option on hard floors and carpets with its uptick in power. And excellent at cleaning hair because of the upgrades Dyson put in the mini-turbo brush and standard brush roll.

The Dyson V15 Detect is a step above the V11 Torque Drive and Outsize with power, cleaning performance, and practicality. This model addressed some of the issues I had with these older variants – particularly visibility. Adding a green laser will help users immensely at tracking invisible-to-the-nake-eye dust. It’s also better at cleaning hair, especially on carpet and upholstery where the updated designed high torque brush and new torque screw attachment excels. It picks up hair without the tangles. The only hold back for getting this cordless vacuum would be the high cost and ergonomics. Are you willing to fork out the cash to get this? This will be a deciding factor whether or not to purchase this product.

Dyson’s newest vacuum isn’t one for subtlety. It has a laser strapped to the front of it for the purpose of highlighting where the dust is hiding. The Dyson V15 Detect is the company’s newest, top-of-the-line cordless vacuum in its line of stick vacuums. It’s more powerful than my own Xiaomi stick vac (and the Dyson V6 I owned several years ago), while swapping out the cleaning heads makes it suitable for both carpets and hard floors (or a mix of both, like my own). However, that versatility and sheer cleaning power (ugh, did I just write those words together?) will cost you $699. Are those high-tech additions gimmicks or truly helpful upgrades for a cleaner home?

I’ve spent a couple of weeks with the V15, and my rugs, carpet and hardwood floors are cleaner than they have ever been — barring a mop. It makes a compelling case for high-end stick vacuums.

While there are several notable features on the V15 Detect, let’s start with the showiest one, the laser ‘blade’ light on the cleaning head. It’s there to visibly show you that your Dyson vacuum is cleaning your floors. Due to the angle the laser is aimed at, it “cuts” across the floor at a 7.2mm level. This is the perfect height, apparently, for highlighting your dust bunnies.

Any illusions I had of keeping a remotely clean home were dashed. I knew my rug sheds fine fibers pretty easily. I didn’t know how easily they evaded my old stick vacuums. For the sake of testing the V15, I vacuumed my floors with my Xiaomi vacuum, then I went back over the same areas with the V15. Besides my carpeted bedroom, it’s a one-room hardwood floor situation, making it ideal for Dyson’s laser feature.

The next major feature is an evolution of the see-through dust canisters that became de rigueur in nearly all stick vacuums, and several plug-in upright models. (Dyson had a hand in that trend.) Seeing what you’ve managed to pull from your floors is surprisingly satisfying.

Dyson took this further. A new piezo acoustic sensor detects both size and frequency of the dust and other particles you"re collecting. The sensor turns the tiny vibrations of dust particles hitting a surface inside the cleaning head into electrical signals. Carbon fibers then roughly measure these microscopic particles, which are, Dyson says, counted at up to 15,000 times a second. From this, the V15 can display a particle count of your clean on an LCD display on the back of the vacuum, laying out whether you’re sucking up lots of larger particles or finer dust.

Let’s be honest: the size of particles doesn’t really help improve my cleaning — nor does knowing that I’ll pull in millions of particles every time I swing the V15 through my home. You can reset this count when it recharges or by slipping the battery pack out. I guess you could attempt to either hit a new high score each time you clean, or try to generally reduce your scores for some kind of proof of cleaner floors. I’m not quite sold.

The acoustic piezo sensor also adjusts the V15’s cyclone engine to better clean your floors. Last year’s V11 adjusted its suction when it detected carpet or rug fibers, but the V15 is even smarter. On Auto mode , these particle counts will change how much power the V15 puts into cleaning. If it detects higher levels of tiny detritus, it increases the suction itself.

Beneath the LCD display that shows those particle counts, there’s a button that switches the V15 between three different suction modes. We’ve already mentioned Auto, which was my de facto setting most of the time. Eco should extend the battery life for up to an hour, according to Dyson’s estimates. At the other end of the scale, there’s Boost mode, which puts Dyson’s cyclone engine on full power. Handily, as you switch between modes the vacuum offers battery life estimates in minutes that dynamically changes depending on which mode’s being used .At maximum power, that time will understandably plummet. But with a full battery, it seemed to hover around the 20-minute mark for Boost cleaning. Auto mode promised roughly 45 minutes of use with a fully charged battery.

The “detect” innovations aside, this a very powerful vacuum, on par with other plugin vacuum cleaners many times bigger and heavier. It is definitely the most powerful vacuum I’ve ever used. Consumer Reports and Wirecutter have made similar remarks about the V15 — and they review far more vacuums than I.

We don’t test nearly every vacuum that Dyson makes, so I can’t offer a comparison to last year’s model, even if it looks awfully similar to the V11 — and costs the same. The 6.8-pound V15 is noticeably heavier than the 4.6-pound V6 that I’m used to. I wouldn’t call it unwieldy, but besides the need to constantly pull the trigger to activate, it can get a little more tiring. With all this power, though, I felt I rarely had to run over the same area twice.

Dyson has added a single button start to some of its newest vacuums, but that didn’t include the V15 Detect, sadly. You’ll still have to hold down the trigger — and keep it held down — until you’re done cleaning, adding to the effort needed.

The V15 is a total beast at extracting ingrained dust and dirt in carpets and rugs — areas where the laser doesn’t even work, due to the uneven surface. Using the high torque cleaner head, what looked like a perfectly clean rug was hiding a half canister of rug and fiber. Ew — thanks, Dyson. This cleaning head also has a new anti-tangle comb built-in for households with pets, or people with longer hair than my crew cut. I wasn’t able to test out whether it cut through clumped-together hair, but the V15 also comes with yet another accessory dedicated the challenge, a hair screw tool. It looks hypnotic in action.

It feels weird to consider a high-end vacuum as a luxury, or even a treat. But honestly, that’s how it felt when I was using it: reliable, powerful, and habit-forming. The V15 Detect is the same price as the V11, but it does more to demonstrate to the user that your floors are being cleaned, ruthlessly. It’s also not the company’s most expensive stick vacuum, with that honor going to the $800 V11 Outsize, which has a bigger dust compartment and cleaning head.

I’m explaining away the V15’s asking price, but this remains a high-end vacuum for people willing to stump up for it. I own a PlayStation 5, an overpriced manual espresso machine, an Instant Pot, even an iPhone 12 Pro Max. It’s that kind of product, and it’s hard to argue against how well this cleans my carpets and rugs, too. My floors have probably never been cleaner, and the lasers prove it.

The Dyson V15 Detect features some of Dyson’s most intelligent technology for deep cleaning your whole home. It is one of the few Dyson vacuums that has laser detection to scope out microscopic dust and particles. It is also the most powerful cordless vacuum on the market, which is a pretty big claim to make (and spoiler alert: it seems true!).

The V15 Detect will cost you $749.99. If you want the slightly upgraded Detect Absolute model, that’ll cost you $799.99. While that is a lot of money, it is surprisingly not the most expensive Dyson vacuum sold. The Outsize+ is Dyson’s priciest vacuum at $949.99.

The V15 comes with practically everything you could want from a Dyson stick vacuum. It has 60 minutes of run time, a Hyperdymium™ motor, and Root Cyclone Technology (with forces of up to 100,000g to trap dust and debris).

The V15 weighs 6.8 pounds and measures 49.5” H x 10.5” L x 9.8” W.It weighs less than my Yorkie, Tyrone, but is a little heavier than my previous vacuum, the V7. It isn"t too heavy when using it, but you do have to get used to its size. The vacuum is nearly my height when upright. The V15 charge time is 4.5 hours and has 60 minutes of runtime when fully charged. The bin volume is .2 gallons (one of the largest) and has 230 AW suction.

The V15 is incredible for picking up pet hair. The digital motorhead also has an anti-tangle comb, so human hair won’t get caught up. If you need any evidence, a photo speaks more than I can. Just look at the above before and after photo of the V15 bin from vacuuming my rug. I live with three cats and a dog, so pet fur is everywhere in my apartment. More than I realized, actually.

I’ve used both the Dyson V7 and V8 for pet hair and felt that they do a decent job, but often encountered tangles whenever my own hair got sucked up from the floor. Since the V15 has an anti-tangle motorhead and a hair screw attachment tool, I never had issues with long hair getting stuck or tangled.

There aren’t many Dyson stick vacuum models with quite as many bells and whistles as the V15, but the Dyson V12 is comparable. The two vacuums are similar in height and style, on quick glance, you might even mistake the two as the same vacuum. But there are some notable hardware differences and one big design difference.

The Detect and the Detect Absolute have a $50 price difference for the same machine. The difference between the two models is what comes with each one. The Absolute has everything the Detect comes with, plus a built-in dusting and crevice tool. The built-in dusting tool is hidden inside the wand and can be used for easy cleaning in hard-to-reach places. The Absolute also comes with more free tools when Dyson does promotional offers, but that is not an everyday thing.

I knew I was going to like this vacuum because I’ve yet to use a Dyson product that I didn’t like. What I hadn’t expected was this vacuum would make me feel bad about my previous cleaning habits.

Dyson wasn"t kidding when they said this vacuum comes with laser detection to see all of the dirt and debris on your floor. I was horrified the first few times I used the Laser Slim Fluffy cleaner head. I had no idea how much cat fur was hiding in plain sight. The floors looked clean at first glance, but under the green laser, I found a lot of cat fur.

Like other Dyson vacuums, the V15 is bagless and has a dust bin that can be cleaned out mess-free with the press of a lever. As a cordless vacuum, the V15 isn"t as loud as one of Dyson"s upright vacuums. On Eco or Auto mode, it is fairly quiet compared to other vacuums I"ve had. On Boost mode it is a bit louder, but nothing I"d be worried about bothering my neighbors with.

The V15 is so smart that it can shift through the three power modes (eco, auto, and boost) depending on the power needed. I don’t need to adjust my settings based on where I’m vacuuming, it already knows what power is needed. Whenever I vacuumed my rug, it would shift into Boost mode to suck up the hidden cat fur that was trapped out of sight but deep in my rug. The LCD screen also tells you what power is being used and how much is being picked up.

With the V15, you get up to 60 minutes of battery life from a full charge. The battery pack on this is removable, so you can charge it on or off the vacuum. My favorite feature is that you can see how much time you have left and that changes based on what mode you’re using (eco gives you the longest vacuuming time while boost gives you the shortest). I get over 2x the vacuum time when using Boost mode on the V15 when compared to my old Dyson V7.

My only true gripe with this product outside of the price is the size of the Laser Slim Fluffy cleaner head. I get it is slim so it can fit under things but I wish it was similar to the V8 Absolute soft roller head or the Omni Glide. The V15’s soft roller head does a great job and I’d assume the cut down on the size is to squeeze in that laser detection technology. I wish it was just 20% bigger, then it would be perfect in every way.

When I reviewed the V8 last year, I’d have called people spending $700+ on a Dyson vacuum nuts. Now, that is not to say the V8 isn’t an excellent vacuum that is on the budget-friendly side when compared to the V15 (or maybe even opt for the V12 if you"re looking to save $200 but still get laser detection). I still highly recommend the V8 if you’re working within a budget! But, if you have the cash to burn or want to make a worthwhile investment, spring for the V15. You won’t regret it.

In short:the latest Dyson Gen5 Detect has some interesting improvements over the Dyson V15, but costs twice as much. If you want the best of the best, the Dyson Gen5 Detect is the best choice. Want a good Dyson but not the highest price? Then the Dyson V15 still satisfies as a worthy alternative. The Dyson Gen5 is not yet available in the United States, view the Dyson V15 Detect here.

Recently, the new Dyson Gen5 Detect was announced. The vacuum cleaner is the successor to the Dyson V15 Detect. The Gen5Detect is called the “most powerful cordless stick vacuum” by Dyson.

I decided to compare the Dyson Gen5Detect with the Dyson V15 Detect based on the information that came out. In this article I list the biggest differences and similarities.

Let’s start with the biggest differences between the new Dyson Gen5 Detect and the previously launched Dyson V15 Detect. I would like to emphasize that I have extensively tested the Dyson V15 Detect, but not the Dyson Gen5 Detect yet. I am using the specifications Dyson shared with the announcement.

There is a big difference in accessories. The Dyson Gen5 Detect is equipped with an integrated dust brush and crevice tool. As soon as you remove the vacuum cleaner rod from the Gen5 Detect, an extendable dusting brush appears. This is not the case with the Dyson V15 Detect.

If we look at the operation, it seems at first glance to be the same. Yet the opposite is true: where you have to hold down the button on the Dyson V15 Detect to be able to vacuum, the Dyson Gen5 Detect has an on/off button.

Why Dyson has decided to omit this so-called trigger button from the Dyson Gen5 is unknown. Many people will be happy with this development: I receive daily questions about whether the button can be locked, which is why I wrote an article about a Dyson Trigger lock. Allows you to lock the trigger buttons. That is no longer necessary with the Gen5.

The LCD screen of both the V15 and the Gen5 also provides information about what you are vacuuming. However, with the Gen5, this information is displayed slightly differently. You get to see exactly what you are vacuuming with sliding bars back and forth. For example, you can decide to keep vacuuming the carpet for a while if a lot of pollen is detected. The Gen5 is also able to notify you when a surface is clean enough. The Dyson V15 cannot and does not do this.

The battery life of Dyson stick vacuums can vary considerably. Where I registered a battery life of only 25 minutes in the Dyson V8 review, this is about an hour with the Dyson V15. According to Dyson, the maximum battery life of the Dyson Gen5 Detect would be about 70 minutes with normal use. This would make it the Dyson with the longest battery life!

If you’re looking for the best lightweight vacuum cleaner, you’ll probably be better off opting for the Dyson V15. This weighs about 3 kilograms, which is half a kilogram lighter than the Gen5 Detect: Dyson reports a weight level of 3.5 kilograms with the announcement.

If we zoom in on the price, there is a huge difference. At $ 930, the Dyson Gen5 Detect costs a lot more than the Dyson V15 Detect ($ 750). Prices may vary based on included accessories. Would you like to learn more about the parts? Check out my comprehensive guide with an explanation of all Dyson parts.

It is of course the big question whether the Dyson Gen5 is such a good successor to the V15 that it is worth the enormous price. It is therefore good to consider the similarities of both Dyson stick vacuums.

The addition of the word ‘Detect’ in both product names reveals that they both use laser technology. Both the Dyson V15 and Gen5 come with a floor brush with laser technology. I think it’s a great development: in my review I found the laser technology to be of added value. You can really see the dust on the floor better and skip parts of the floor less quickly.Both the Dyson V15 and Gen5 come with a floor brush with laser technology.

Curious what this looks like in real life? Then watch the Dyson V15 Detect review video below.I need your help! Subscribe to my YouTube channelso that I can continue to conduct reliable vacuum cleaner research and provide you with honest information.

Both the Dyson Gen5 and Dyson V15 have a built-in Piezo sensor. This sensor measures and detects specific particles that are sucked up. You can think of pollen, allergens and dust particles. The piezo sensor also makes it possible to adjust the suction power automatically: for example, if an extra number of allergens are measured.

Both Dyson vacuum cleaners have a dust capacity of 0.77 liters. This is average in the world of stone vacuum cleaners. A Dyson that has a much larger dust capacity is the Dyson Outsize.

With a dust capacity of 0.77 liters, you have to take into account that you have to empty the vacuum cleaner regularly. Speaking of maintenance: that is also the same with both stick vacuums. You can easily – and in the same way – empty them above the trash. Also the maintenance of the filter: you can clean or replace the Dyson filter by unscrewing it.

The big question now is, of course, which of the two stick vacuums is best to choose. Let me first say that you make a very good choice with both the Dyson Gen5 Detect and the Dyson V15. Especially in the field of allergies, because of the good filtration of both stick vacuums.

The Dyson Gen5 Detect is better than the V15 in a few features: there is an integrated handheld vacuum and with the new Fluffy Optic laser floor brush you can detect dust on the floor twice as well. With the new Gen5 you also get to see in real time what you are vacuuming and when the surface is clean enough to continue.

However, the Dyson V15 also provides information about what you vacuum, there is also a Piezo sensor and the operation of the vacuum cleaners – except for the lack of a trigger button on the Gen5 – is almost the same.

In summary:In my opinion, the Dyson Gen5 Detect is actually an improvement on the Dyson V15. In many areas: the filtration system, the user interface and accessories. However, the price is a huge difference. Do you want the best of the best? Then the choice for the new Gen5 is quickly made. Do you simply want a good Dyson vacuum cleaner, but not pay the full price? Then the Dyson V15 is still a worthy opponent!

Some choose to lead their lives according to the ideal of ignorance is bliss. If they can"t see it, it must be clean, but for the other half of the population, you"ll want to consider the Dyson V15 Detect cordless vacuum. Dyson"s floorcare innovation brings never-before-seen technology to its floorcare lineup of the best Dyson vacuums, with the addition of a built-in green laser that illuminates dust particles invisible to the eye on hard floors and a scientific Piezo sensor that counts dust particles down to a microscopic 10 microns. into its signature Fluffy cleaner head for physical proof of a deep and effective clean.

I"ve been using the Dyson regularly since it launched in March 2021, and it remains one of my favorite vacuums to date. Not only are my floors visibly cleaner, but I also enjoy slinging the V15 Detect around my hardwoods to spot-check every last surface, with a generous long-lasting battery that gets me through all my cleaning routines.

The Dyson V15 has truly been put to the test, and now, I"m sharing my thoughts and experiences with this premium cordless vacuum. By the time you"re finished reading, you"ll see why it"s one of the best cordless vacuums we"ve seen.

It"s the first time we"ve seen the Dyson V15 Detect have a discount as deep as this $150 price cut, now on sale for a limited time. The Dyson V15 Detect comes with two cleaner heads and eight accessories.

Jaclyn is the US eCommerce editor at Homes & Gardens where she specializes in a variety of topics ranging from vacuums to mattresses. She spends her days tracking the latest buzzworthy releases and testing a variety of products to determine whether they are worth bringing into your home. Dyson provided the V15 Detect for review, and Jaclyn has been using it continually for over a year since. Jaclyn"s home features a mix of hardwood floors, carpets, and area rugs. A small non-shedding dog lives in the house but still manages to track in his fair share of dirt.

But specifically, the V15 Detect is specifically for those who love physical reassurance that their home is getting clean. According to Dyson, their goal was to provide owners with a scientifically proven clean that you can actually SEE and give assurance that any missed spots are revealed while cutting down the time you’d spend going over the same spot that might actually be totally clean!

To get the most out of the V15 Detect"s laser technology, we think the Dyson V15 Detect is ideal for homes with a lot of hard floors, as while the vacuum takes carpet dust to task, the green laser only works on hard floors. However, the built-in Piezo sensor still displays data on both hard floors and carpets.

The motor, .2 gallon dustbin, and battery are located at the top of the vacuum, and the V15 continues to make use of Dyson"s signature trigger operation. Each accessory piece clicks in and out with ease.

The Dyson V15"s Dyson Hyperdymium motor spins at up to 125,000rpm and generates 230 air watts of suction, which is 24% more suction power than the V11 range. The 5-stage filtration captures 99.99% of dust particles down to 0.3 microns for a powerful deep clean.

PIEZO SensorFor those who want real-time proof and insights into the dirt on their floors, Dyson integrated an acoustic Piezo sensor into the design that continuously sizes and counts dust particles and shows how much has been picked up in a graph on the LCD screen. Essentially, once you notice the numbers start to slow, you can assume that the Dyson has suctioned everything there is to pick up. Plus it will automatically increase suction power across different floor types based on the amount of dust and other particles present on the surface.

I personally ran into an issue where my Piezo sensor was switched off, and it"s not a feature that I missed or affected the cleaning performance of my machine. Dyson was quick to remedy me with a replacement unit, but I do wish that it was something that could have been repaired without requiring an entirely new device.

Anti-Tangle Hair TechKeeping our pets and long-haired users in mind, Dyson has reworked how hair interacts with its technology by developing ananti-tangle conical brush bar that spirals hair off and into the bin to prevent hair wrap on the brushbar. The tech is available on a smaller and full-size High Torque Cleanerhead, which has polycarbonate teeth that look like a comb and prevent tangling around the bristles when you are cleaning, and automatically clear hair from the brush bar.

LCD ScreenThe LCD displays will show a real-time count of the collected particles from the PIEZO sensor, a run-time countdown clock, the power mode in use, and maintenance alerts, such as when an air channel is clogged, or the bin needs emptying.

FiltrationYou"ll only find the best with Dyson. The V15 Detect offers Dyson’s 5-stage advanced filtration technologies, capturing 99.97% of particles as small as 0.1microns, to expel cleaner air.

On Hard FloorsHere"s where the Dyson V15 Detect comes out to shine. The Fluffy floor head with the built-in laser effectively hunts down dirt and debris that the naked eye can"t see. The soft brush roll design also won"t scratch floors and is the most optimized at maintaining battery life.

Emptying the Dust BinThe Dyson V15 Detect has one of the easiest bins to empty. Just detach from the wand, angle over the garbage, and slide the red handlebar down and most of the contents will just roll out. However, I did find that lingering dust bunnies and hair clumps that clung to the mesh filters were difficult to fish out.

I trialed the Dyson V15 Detect through I call the Pantry Test, the unscientific test that uses common pantry staples to test the suction capabilities of our vacuums. I arranged a quarter cup of cereal, a quarter cup of rice, and a tablespoon of sugar to see how the vacuum handled food particles large and small.

The Pantry Test on carpet with the Fluffy FloorheadThe Fluffy floorhead seemed to suction up the cereal in one big inhale, but in actuality it clogged the machine, causing the rice to jump around as I tried to vacuum it up. So, thinking to give up on the rice, I went to my sugar pile. Same issue. Then I looked at the LCD screen, which was displaying images signaling blocked passageways. Once I cleared the clog coming from the brushhead, the rice and sugar were swiftly picked up.

When observing Dyson(opens in new tab) directly, the vacuum holds a 4.5-star rating, with many expressing their excitement over the innovative laser technology and suction power that revealed a lot about the cleanliness of their homes. A few mentioned trouble with an instruction to clean the filter after very limited use, while others expressed frustration that the vacuum didn"t last the full 60 minutes that was quoted.

The Dyson V15 Detect is the first vacuum of its kind to offer a laser in its design. The body styling is similar in design to the V11 series, but with a slightly stronger motor. However, it"s built off the same motor as the V11 series. At $749.99, it"s the third most expensive, but has the most powerful design, with Dyson claiming that it offers 100% more suction power than the more V8 Animal cordless vacuum.

However, the most premium model, the extra-large Dyson Outsize +(opens in new tab) at 949.99, has a 50% larger dust bin and double the operating time. The Dyson Outsize + was recently rebranded to include the same Laser Slim Fluffy Cleaner Head, which means it now offers the same core features as the V15 Detect, but on a larger scale.

Additionally, in the summer of 2022, Dyson released the V12 Detect(opens in new tab) series, which retails at $649.99. The V12 Detect is officially 40% lighter, offering a .1-gallon dust bin and trading the trigger design for a power button, which makes it easy to switch hands while cleaning. It does offer slightly less suction power, 150AW to the V15 Detects 230AW.

The Dyson V15 Detect will absolutely transform the way you clean. It literally hunts dust to reveal what is on your floors. It"s a little unsettling to see just how much dirt gathers after a few days of not vacuuming, but equally exciting to see it suctioned up with a quick pass-through. Not to mention, the sheer suction power that this slim cordless is able to offer.

As huge fans of the V11 Outsize, we were wondering what Dyson"s next act would bring. Its successor, the new Dyson V15 Detect, is similar in some ways. In others, the V15 Detect goes far beyond the older stick vacuum, however.

We purchased our V15 from Dyson direct. Before doing so, we had seen commercials and taken more than one trip to Dyson"s website. Features that were heavily marketed were the V15"s Laser Slim Fluffy head, the LCD screen which shows "real-time scientific proof of a deep clean" among other things, an acoustic piezo sensor which counted microscopic particles as they were sucked up into the vacuum.

When our V15 cordless vac arrived we unpacked the vacuum, its accessories and plugged it in to fully charge the swappable battery. Quality is evident in the vacuum"s engineering.

While the battery of our latest Dyson was charging, we took inventory of all the accessories the cordless vacuum cleaner ships with. The two main cleaning heads are new designs for the V15 Detect.

The High Torque Head is similar to the short, stiff bristle one which shipped with the V11 with the addition of an anti-tangle comb. The Laser Slim Fluffy head is a new design altogether, picking up where the V10"s soft roller head left off. We will cover the main cleaning heads in more detail below.The V15 is the first Dyson stick vacuum that has offered something simply better than the competition while at an appropriate price in years. No, the V15 is not inexpensive by any measure. But, we feel it is worth the money if what you want is the highest performing cordless stick vacuum money can buy.

As far as accessories go, there isn"t much more that could have been provided. The V15 Detect+ may ship with more accessories than any other cordless stick vacuum. A full inventory is below, but one standout is the Hair Screw Tool. Meant to clean pet hair off upholstery, the tool also employs anti-tangle technology which actually works.

In short, Dyson"s latest cordless" suction was amazing, and the Laser Slim Fluffy head is a game changer. After using it once you realize that many more high-end cordless stick vacuums will have this someday. The laser light is far more useful than a headlight, or that lack of either, which is what you"ll find in most competing vacuums.

The V15 Detect has a Dyson Hyperdymium™ motor and Root Cyclone technology. You need not know what those are specifically or how many cyclones the V15 has (there"s 14 cyclones in case you"re interested). The motor spins at up to 125,000 RPM and creates high levels of centrifugal force, sucking up and trapping fine dust, dirt and particles in the dustbin.

In Auto mode the V15 Detect also uses the sensor to increase suction power when more dirt and dust is detected. The feature works with both full-size cleaning heads as well as the smaller, upholstery sized anti-tangle attachment.

Cleaning stairs and upholstery was straightforward. Our only word of caution would be to those who prefer a light vacuum. Most of the V15"s weight is in the handle (the battery, to be specific). When used as a full-size cordless stick vacuum, the weight is somewhat offset by the cleaning head being in contact with the floor. As a handheld vacuum, it did feel heavier than other cordless vacuums we"ve reviewed.

When you first remove the V15 Detect from the box the vacuum will have a limited charge. And, the LCD screen and manual both caution to not use the vacuum without first performing a full charge.

Don"t skip this step! While this may sound optional, this step is important to calibrate the V15"s ability to accurately provide estimates on remaining battery life.

Dyson"s V15 Detect performed exceptionally well in all cleaning tests. Our aggregate scores below take into account multiple testing methods on each surface type.

Next, dirt and debris are drawn into the V15"s cyclones. Here dust, dust mites and other mid-sized particles (relatively speaking) are removed from the airflow, falling back into the dustbin. A pre-motor filter is the next stop. Here an electrostatically charged layer attracts and stops smaller particles.

The V15 Detect+ model has an additional HEPA filter. This allows it to trap microscopic particles as small as 0.1 microns. It also has a soft dusting and crevice tool incorporated into its wand. We found this to be incredibly handy. It makes it incredibly easy to switch from normal vacuuming to taking care of a trouble area.

Actual run time for the V15 in its various modes met what the Dyson engineers approved for publishing on their website. Of course, a number of factors determine battery life. Using a non-powered head, for instance, increases battery life as does using the Eco suction mode. In our real-world use we keep the vacuum in Auto mode, allowing it to adjust the suction as it cleans.

With high-performance comes weight, namely in the battery department. The Dyson V15 Detect has what they call a clickable battery, Dyson-speak for user-replaceable, or removable battery. It takes a heavy, high-density battery to provide the performance the V15 Detect offers.

With that said, when used as a full-size stick vacuum, maneuverability is excellent. This was a surprise, especially when first unpacking the vacuum. Using the V15 as a handheld vacuum is where the weight really comes into play. Those who are used to a very light handheld may find it tiring to use in this configuration.

The usability is fantastic overall on the V15. We were impressed with the LCD screen, not just because it displays what the piezo sensor counts, but because of everything else it does.

The LCD screen shows remaining battery life in minutes, and even provides visual instructions for cleaning the on-board filters and other light maintenance.

There"s a lot that ships with Dyson"s V15 line. We"ve cataloged that below as well as a few specifications and features. Do note that the Detect and Detect+ ship with a few differences.

We have had a hot-and-cold relationship with Dyson cordless vacuums. As their stick vacuums have evolved, they"ve undoubtedly improved in suction and battery life. We have, however, taken issue with their pricing. More clearly, some older Dyson models have simply cost too much for the performance they offer.

Dyson really pulled out all the stops when designing and pricing the Dyson V15 product line. Some will balk at the price, and that"s fair. But, the price-sensitive consumer isn"t who this vacuum was designed for. The Dyson V15 line was made for those who want the convenience of a cordless vacuum but still want the highest level of cleaning performance available.

To be clear, we recommend the Dyson V15 Detect as it is the best cordless vacuum we have tested as far as overall performance is concerned. While the price may seem steep, the non-plus Detect sells for under $700 which seems appropriate for this level of performance.

One notch up, and only available direct from Dyson, the V15 Detect plus sells at $749 MSRP. The plus model has two exclusive features, a post-motor HEPA filter and the in-wand dusting and crevice tool.

As it stands today, the Dyson V15 is literally in a class of its own. With its unique features, incredible suction and ample battery life, it truly does offer something we cannot find in other vacuums. But, there"s a lot of cordless stick vacuums available at every price point.Of course, its price tag and target market don"t make it the right cordless stick vac for everyone.

For performance that is just similar V15"s, we highly recommend Samsung"s self-emptying Bespoke Jet. For a highly praised while less expensive alternative, consider Tineco"s S11.

Like the V15, Samsung"s Bespoke Jet has excellent suction and battery life. There"s no laser light or particle counter. But, if offers quality and style and empties itself.

Tineco"s Pure One S11 has 1/2 the suction of the V15 Detect, but for many, that"s all you really need. Owners love the S11 (Grey or Tango) and it"s priced below $400.

The Bespoke Jet has 210 air watts, 20 air watts shy of the V15. And, its has excellent maneuverability and great accessories. If you can"t tell, we are fans of Samsung"s stick vacuums.

For a homeowner that is sensitive to dust, pet dander or could, even to themselves, take on the label of full or part-time germophobe, the V15 will be a no-brainer. We aren’t among those user groups.. And, we were highly cynical with Dyson and what we assumed were gimmicks that the V15 offered. We were happily wrong, and the Dyson V15 is a welcome addition in our home.

The V15 is the first Dyson stick vacuum that has offered something simply better than the competition while at an appropriate price in years. No, the V15 is not inexpensive by any measure. But, we feel it is worth the money if what you want is the highest performing cordless stick vacuum money can buy.

I’ve tested a bunch of robot vacuums, all with varying results. If you’re familiar with robot vacuums yourself, you’ll know that you can’t always rely on them to fulfill all application areas. And having to occasionally use the traditional wired, big, clunky vacuum cleaner isn’t particularly enjoyable. It’s time to find out if a Dyson V15 – a cordless vacuuming cleaner – might be just what you need.

On first impression, this looks nothing like regular vacuum cleaner – more like the weapons used to catch ghosts in the 80s classic, Ghostbusters. Dyson V15 is cordless and little tacky, and I’m sure the orange, purple and red color combination will make people with a taste for minimalistic electronics cringe.

You’ll get a total 60 minutes of run time, and the remaining time is visible on the LCD screen at the end of the handle. There’s also a small button to switch suction mode: Eco mode, Auto, Med mode and Boost mode, depending on which brush you’re using. Extra batteries can be purchased separately. If you use Auto and Med mode and/or the special High Torque nozzle (brush with anti-filter comb), the suction power is adjusted to be stronger the dirtier it is. The same applies if you go from a regular floor to a carpet. Of course, this affects battery life, but if you use the Dyson V15 to complement a robot vacuum, you won’t need to vacuum for 60 minutes at a time.

Cleaning is seldom synonymous with fun, but seeing the results in real time makes it all the more enjoyable! The vacuum cleaner has a piezoelectric sensor that calculates dust particles and shows both the amount sucked up and the size of the particles in different coloured bars on the LCD screen.

According to Dyson, the piezo sensor calculates particles passing through 15,000 times per second, which I haven’t measured, but it does sound impressive. On the LCD screen you can see how many particles are smaller than 10 µm (microns), such as allergens and pollen; particles smaller than 60 µm, which is the size of microscopic dust and skin flakes; 180 µm, which is the size of dust mites; and 500 µm, which are particles that are about 0.5 mm.

And that’s what makes cleaning a bit more exciting! The LCD screen’s brightly coloured bars and numbers can pique the interest of even the most bored teenagers, making them vacuum on their own initiative. That is, if you’ve placed the vacuum somewhere that’s easily accessible, of course.

If your bathroom needs a little love, you can simply take the Dyson V15, bring as many accessories as you need and go at it. You won’t have to worry about emptying the vacuum bag either, as dust ends up in a plastic container which can simply be emptied whenever you feel like it.

The filter is placed right alongside the LCD screen, which as mentioned collects 99,97 percent of particles as small as 0.1 µm, in order to thoroughly clean the air.

With its LCD screen with colors, charts and numbers, Dyson V15 manages to turn cleaning into a more enjoyable activity. Its suction power is impressive and it leaves the room both fresh and free of dust – a great addition to a robot vaccum or smaller places like a bathroom or perhaps a tiny apartment

Performance tests:The Dyson V15 notched nearly perfect scores in our performance tests, including Excellent ratings for cleaning carpet and bare floors and picking up pet hair. It scarfed up the sand, rice, and cereal we scattered on carpet; removed litter from tile floors; and attacked the pet hair in a medium-pile carpet.

It also runs quietly, earning an Excellent rating in that test, and is just as quiet as the three top stick vacuums in our tests, all from Tineco. Its brandmate, the Dyson V11 Outsize, which scores a point lower, is a bit noisier.

Runtime is a big factor for cordless vacuums, and the Dyson V15 runs for about 70 minutes per charge on low and 8 minutes on high. That’s on par with the other late-model Dyson cordless stick vacs and longer than many of the other brands of cordless vacuums in our tests. The battery takes 5 hours to recharge, which is typical for many cordless vacuums. The V15 comes with one battery, but you can buy an extra separately for $150 if you prefer to always have a backup charged to ensure an uninterrupted cleaning session.

According to data from CR’s exclusive member survey, none of the brands of cordless stick vacuums we rate earns a reliability rating better than a middling Good. Dyson cordless stick vacuums earn a Fair rating for reliability.

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.

It is not fortunate that Dyson has been the top choice for a cordless vacuum cleaner for years. When they release the Dyson V15 Detect (jumped from V11 released 2 years ago), the gap between Dyson and their competitors becomes wider than ever. I’ve tested some other cordless vacuums but they never can match the same quality and features as found on Dyson products. In this review, we are checking out their latest V15 vacuum and why I love it so much.

Out of the box, the Dyson V15 comes with the vacuum body, a wall dock, a wand clip, a charger, an extension wand, and a variety of cleaner heads. Specifically, we have 2 floor cleaning heads, a combination tool, a crevice tool, a hair screw tool, a soft dusting brush, and a stubborn dirt brush.

The Dyson V15’s vacuum body is almost the same as the Dyson V11. I can’t spot any difference apart from the color in the cyclone area. The unchanged design is really great because they use the same filter, click-in battery, charger, and dustbin. That means those replacement accessories are readily available.

Apart from the high-torque cleaner head, the Dyson V15 is also equipped with a Laser Slim Fluffy cleaner head which is probably the best feature of the flagship vacuum. This is the first time Dyson has integrated a light into a cleaner head. I’ve seen LED lights on many other vacuums but none of them has laser light like this. This is inspired by the fact that you see small particles in the air when they are exposed to sunlight. On the side of the cleaner head, there is a green laser diode positioned at a 1.5 degree angle and 7.3mm off the ground. I compared this laser with LED light on a Tineco vacuum and saw a huge difference. The laser light provides great contrast to reveal hidden dust on your floor. If you watch the video below, you can see that the laser light performs much better than LED light. This is class-1 laser product, it is safe under all conditions for pets and humans but you still shouldn’t look directly into the beam. You can also turn it off with the switch on the head if you don’t want to use it.

Another new feature of the Dyson V15 is the acoustic piezo sensor which sizes and counts particles 15,000 times a second. The number of particles in different sizes will then be displayed on the LCD screen at the end of the main body. The particle sizes are divided into 4 groups which are 10μm, 60μm, 180μm, and 500μm. You can go to settings in the LCD screen to turn on/off the counter or adjust the motor sensitivity. I’d recommend you to leave this counter on because it will allow the machine to adjust suction automatically. The counter is automatically reset after each cleaning session when I place the vacuum on its charging dock.

Another downside of the V15 is that it still doesn’t have a trigger lock. That means I still need to hold the trigger for 20-30 minutes when cleaning my house. Considering fact that the vacuum body weighs about 5 lbs, it is not so comfortable holding it and the trigger at the same time, especially when I clean the ceiling or furniture.

The suction power of the V15 is drastically improved and I can easily see the difference when cleaning carpets. On paper, the maximum suction power increases by more than 20% (from 185 air watts to 230 air watts). To give you a perspective, the Tineco Pure ONE S12 Plus has the same retail price as the Dyson V15 but its suction power maxed out at 145 watts. Dyson states that their Dyson Hyperdymium motor spins at up to 125,000rpm to generate the amazing suction power that other cordless vacuums can’t match. What I love the most about Dyson vacuums is that the suction power doesn’t fade when the dust level is raising in the bin. Therefore, the Dyson V15 is actually not expensive at all in the market of high-end cordless vacuums because we receive much more features and power.

Similar to previous products, the Dyson V15 pack a 5-stage filtration that can capture 99.99% of dust particles as small as 0.3 microns. Moreover, we don’t have to replace the filter. You will just need to wash the filter once every month and put it back to the machine when it is completely dry.

Overall, the Dyson V15 is undoubtedly the best cordless stick vacuum that we can buy this year. It has the same original retail price of $699 as the V11 but features and power are brought to the next level. If you already have the Dyson V11, the upgrade is probably not worthwhile because the V11 is still a very strong vacuum cleaner. You also shouldn’t upgrade just for the new laser light because it is not really useful as I imagined. Otherwise, if you have an older vacuum and need better performance on carpets, we highly recommend the new Dyson V15 Detect.

Dyson claims this green light highlights grime directly in front of the V15"s fluffy cleaner head. The company says it has situated the laser at the precise angle that allows you to see otherwise hidden dirt with the naked eye. Once you run the vacuum over a particular area, the laser can help you confirm whether you"ve left any dirt behind.A display on the back of the Dyson V15 shows how many dirt particles the vacuum picks up and groups them by size.Dyson

Dyson says the V15 Detect is also geared toward soothing the clean-obsessed by keeping a tally of the dirt it captures in real time. The machine uses a piezoelectric sensor that helps it log the amount and size of the dirt it picks up. An LCD on the back of the dust bin displays a breakdown by particle size, breaking them out into buckets of greater than 10 microns, greater than 60 microns, greater than 180 microns and greater than 500 microns.The Dyson V15 Detect in action.Dyson

Two other Dyson cordless vacuums made their debut today. The first is the $799 Dyson Outsize that the company says has a 150 percent larger dust bin than previous cordless vacs. It also uses a cleaning head that"s 25% wider than the V15. The Outsize is based on the previous

The new $400 Dyson Omni-Glide is targeted at urban apartment dwellers. This model has a slimmer, lighter design, and comes with a new "omnidirectional fluffy cleaner head" that"s built for squeezing into tight spaces and corners.
