dyson v15 lcd screen manufacturer

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.

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

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.

dyson has unveiled the V15 detect, it’s most powerful and intelligent vacuum yet, capable of detecting, removing, sizing and counting microscopic dust for scientific proof of a deep clean. equipped with technology able to detect dust as small as 10 microns and with an acoustic piezo sensor that know what’s been sucked up, this new device aims to redefine deep cleaning at home.

‘as engineers our job is to solve daily problems, and the past 12 months has created plenty of new ones with more time spent indoors,’ explains james dyson, chief engineer and founder. ‘we are all cleaning more frequently, trying to remove the additional house dust but desperate for peace of mind that our homes are truly clean. our latest vacuums use adapted laser technology to reveal hidden dust, integrating a diode laser into the cleaner head that is precisely positioned at a 1.5 degree angle, 7.3mm off the ground to create the best contrast between dust and floor. we don’t think detection is enough, so we remove and meticulously size and count the particles 15,000 times a second using an acoustic piezo sensor which converts vibrations into electrical signals, displaying precisely the size and number of particles sucked up on an LCD at the back of the vacuum. the dyson V15 is both powerful and intelligent, giving the ultimate reassurance – scientific proof of a healthier, cleaner home.’

developed by a team of 370 engineers globally, these latest vacuums use a dyson hyperdymium motor which generates up to 230 air watts of suction and 5-stage filtration captures 99.99% of dust particles down to 0.3 microns for a powerful deep clean. part of an all-new range of dyson vacuums that cover the different cleaning needs of every household, these machines help create healthier homes at a time when 60% of people are cleaning more than ever before. a new range, including smaller, medium and larger sized vacuums will be available in the usa from march 24th, 2021.

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.

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.

One reviewer writes: “It feels solid, it"s sleek, and it"s very lightweight...all things that you would expect out of a $500+ vacuum. It has a lot of features that I like very much that my Dyson actually did not have. It has an extendable shaft, which is something I wish my Dyson had. This allowed for the Fabuletta vacuum to be easier to maneuver around the house than my Dyson…Another feature I loved was the one press to keep it on. For my Dyson, you need to keep your hand on the feature. Keeping your finger on the trigger, the length, and the weight all adds to fatigue in the wrist as you are requiring the work of multiple muscles at the same time.”

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.

Global consumer electronics firm Dyson on Monday launched its new cordless vacuum cleaner in India -- Dyson V15 Detect -- with dust detection and detangling technology.

Developed by a team of 370 highly skilled engineers globally, this latest vacuum cleaner uses a Dyson Hyperdymium motor which generates up to 240 air watts of suction for the most powerful deep clean, the company claimed.

"Our latest vacuums use adapted laser technology to reveal hidden dust, integrating a diode laser into the cleaner head that is precisely positioned at a 1.5 degree angle, 7.3mm off the ground to create the best contrast between dust and floor," said James Dyson, Engineer and Founder.

The LCD screen of the new vacuum cleaner displays real-time scientific proof of a deep clean through counting and measuring microscopic dust particles.

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.

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.
