dyson v15 lcd screen in stock

LCD screen displays scientific proof of a deep clean. Calculates and categorizes picked-up particles, showing you on-screen as you clean. Also displays run time countdown and power mode.2

I fell in love with it (even though it was outrageously expensive). Many things about it are great! Then suddenly, I noticed it stopped showing the "Particle Count". Not a big deal, except that also means that "Reactive Suction" is disabled. I tried charging it, removing the battery, reinserting it, but no matter what, the "Particle Count" function won"t enable. I set it to on, and hold the button for 5 seconds, but it still shows as off. The LCD screen also times out or glitches, and disappears after about 10 seconds. So you have to be quick to do anything in menu. So obviously, the vacuum just has a problem, and I need to get support. I went to Dyson"s website where I already registered the vacuum, and went through the support menu. It was useless, and didn"t provide any method to get to a support person. I finally found their phone number. When I called it, the phone does a variety of incorrect things. First, it will just answer and provide dead air indefinitely. Second, it will ring many times, then provide something similar to a busy tone. Third, it will connect and talk in another language. I got lucky and pressed 2, since I recognized it was saying "press one to continue in [another language]". I then got three options, Price Match, Existing Order, or something else. None of which were support. I tried pressing 2 anyways to see if I could get to a person, then it goes back to dead air. So I found a way to get to the Chat function, which you first have to answer a bunch of troubleshooting questions in a certain way so that it gives you the option to chat with a rep. I did so, and was presented with "No one is currently available. Please try again later." It is 10 AM on a Tuesday. Their hours indicate they are open, but I can"t get support. I"m returning the vacuum. I may try purchasing it again later, but I"m not getting stuck with this thing if I can"t get support, and have a partially functioning [expensive] vacuum.

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.

Is it possible to get excited about a vacuum cleaner? Turns out the answer is, erm, yes. We’re as surprised as you are, but the new Dyson cordless (the V15 Detect Absolute, to give it its full name) will have you getting embarrassingly enthused about that most tedious of household chores. Why? Because there are so many things about this device that are inherently clever, using it holds the same appeal as playing with any highly evolved piece of technology. The fact it’s designed for getting dust off a carpet is almost by the by.

Exhibit A: frickin’ laser beams. Not the boring kind you can"t see like the one inside your DVD player, but the kind that are visible and green and shoot outwards like a David Guetta lighting rig. The V15 comes with a special laser-equipped head designed for hard floors which casts a fan-shaped beam angled downwards at 1.5 degrees to illuminate fine dust but not the surface beneath it. Combined with the laser’s green colour, which enhances contrast, the light reveals dirt that would otherwise be invisible. At face value, this feature might seem like the very definition of over-engineering, but using the thing was a sobering experience. Once you are able to physically see what’s lurking on your floor – and therefore become aware of how much time and care it actually takes to get rid of it all – you realise that you had clearly never vacuumed the room properly ever before.

Now let us turn our attention to the back of the device, where you’ll spy an LCD screen. On the one hand, this serves a prosaic function – it allows you to select the power mode. You can toggle it between “eco” and “boost”, but doing so would be foolish. For inside the V15 lies another disproportionately advanced feature: a “piezo sensor”, which measures the acoustic vibrations of dust particles at 15,000 times a second as they pass by and from that extrapolates how many are travelling through the inlet. Used in “Auto” mode, the machine adjusts its own power accordingly, allowing it to maximise its battery life. Dyson promises that it “delivers up to 60 minutes of whole-home cleaning” and in practice it has lasted the best part of an hour each time we’ve tested it.

But that rear screen also shows you something rather less orthodox. A bar graph reveals what kinds of particles are being sucked up as you clean: how many are >10µm (culprits include allergens and pollen), >60µm (dust and skin flakes), >180µm (dust mites and fine sand) or >500µm (sugar and fleas). Is that useful? No, not really – there’s not much you can actually do with that information. But it does serve a function. Back in 2011, I interviewed Dyson for Wired and asked him why his vacuums were see-through. “There’s a little bit of the German lavatory in it,” he said. “What you do sits there and you inspect it before flushing it away. So there’s a little bit of morbid curiosity.” The V15"s digital bar graph satisfies the same “morbid curiosity” and, as with being able to see the dust accumulate inside the device, it provides proof that you’re doing a thorough job.

Reactive suction power works with all cleaner heads, including the Dyson Laser Slim Fluffy™, High Torque and Direct drive cleaner heads, and the Dyson Hair screw tool.

In Auto mode, the motor – which controls suction power – intelligently reacts to the amount of dust detected to provide a deeper clean, automatically. More dust, more power. Adjusting the motor sensitivity in the settings menu affects how responsive your machine is to the level of dust detected. Set to ‘High’, and your machine will react more often, and provide more suction power, when a smaller concentration of dust is detected. Set to ‘Low’, and suction power will react less often, and to larger amounts of dust. To change the motor sensitivity, hold the selection button beneath the LCD screen to enter the settings menu. Then tap the button to scroll through to the motor sensitivity settings. Hold to select, then choose your preferred setting.

Dyson DLS™ (Dynamic Load Sensor) technology senses when the floor type changes, by monitoring brush bar resistance while using the High Torque cleaner head. The piezo sensor senses changes in dust levels, and works with any cleaner head.

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.

Dyson has launched the V15 Detect cordless vacuum cleaner in India. The cleaner has peizo sensors that detect and count microscopic particles of dust as small as 10 microns.

It also has an angled green laser, that helps you see these tiny particles. The company says that in tandem with the dust count displayed on the LCD screen, this provides scientific proof of a "deep clean".

The cleaner is small enough to lift in one hand, and is completely cordless allowing you full mobility and flexibility to clean, "hard-to-reach places".  It can offer up to 60 minutes of run time on a single charge, and has a five-stage filtration system that sucks up dust particles as small as 0.3 microns, Dyson says it captures up to 99.99% of all dust particles.

The device uses the company"s Hyperdymium motor, which can generate up to 240 watts of air suction power. Compared to the V12 Detect Slim, Dyson says that the V15 Detect has 1.5 times more suction capacity, and 54% more bin capacity.

There is also a LCD display on the device that displays in real-time, the amount of particles detected and cleaned. It all comes with dedicated attachments for cleaning up loose hair, and Dyson says it has been designed for human and pet hair.

It also has a Digital Motorbar cleaner, which has been inspired by a de-tangling comb, and has "56 hair removal lanes," that have been engineered to, "migrate all types of hair into the cleaner head".The V15 Detect will be available starting July 25th for Rs. 62,900 at Dyson.in, and Dyson showrooms and demo stores.

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
