Dyson V15 Detect Complete Handheld Vacuum Cleaner

Have had the Dyson Cinetic big ball vacuum for 5+ years, and although it's still working well, the inconvenience of carrying it around the house began to outweigh our patience and any enjoyed result derived from cleaning the house with it. The wife suggested getting a cordless vacuum and after much mention, I reluctantly accepted (only because I also thought about the ease of cleaning the cars). Naturally it had to be Dyson and I thought about our budget but elected to look at options regardless. Although outside the initial budget, the capabilities of the V15 cordless and high ratings (reviews) convinced us enough, also Donaghy Bros had a fantastic offer, so we took the plunge. Best decision we've made about cleaning in at least last half a decade (by-far)!The ... MoreHave had the Dyson Cinetic big ball vacuum for 5+ years, and although it's still working well, the inconvenience of carrying it around the house began to outweigh our patience and any enjoyed result derived from cleaning the house with it. The wife suggested getting a cordless vacuum and after much mention, I reluctantly accepted (only because I also thought about the ease of cleaning the cars). Naturally it had to be Dyson and I thought about our budget but elected to look at options regardless. Although outside the initial budget, the capabilities of the V15 cordless and high ratings (reviews) convinced us enough, also Donaghy Bros had a fantastic offer, so we took the plunge. Best decision we've made about cleaning in at least last half a decade (by-far)!The real game changer is the Illuminated soft roller cleaner head for hard floors, it's just genuine innovation from dyson - it works (that simple). No other vacuum tool I have tried does anything near as decent, plus it then left my hard floors looking like it was just polished.This, in addition to the Digital Motorbar™ cleaner head with de-tangling technology - is superb. I actually did a comparison test here; I vacuumed the stair well with the Cinetic Big ball turbine head vs. the V15 motorised head (immediately after the big ball). At the first clean, the motorised head removed significantly more (~80%+ est.) dust / sand, likely sand/dust which has gotten stuck in the carpet over time. The carpet actually looks refreshed now although some deep stains have now been highlighted as a fall out.Dyson need to consider getting these two tools made for all their vacuum variants particularly the most recent versions across corded categories (e.g., big ball, etc.). Not sure how that works for their bottom line, but it may be a 'refreshment' offering for existing Dyson vacuum owners who don't want to spend as much on a vacuum upgrade.

Decent product, horrible reliability

We decided to purchase the V15 when it came out due to Dyson's reputation and feedback on other Dyson products in various online forums.The V15 worked well for approximately 4 months when the display stopped working correctly. It no longer allowed us to enter the menu to change settings and it stopped displaying details of debris info from the laser. We continued to use the product as it still functioned correctly with cleaning the floors. At approximately 5- 6 months the power head for the carpet quit working and the vacuum itself started working intermittently.When I reached out to customer service for warranty replacement.

I had an entire conversation in which the representative ultimately told me the machine would be replaced. After several weeks with no feedback I reached out again and customer service told me there was no record of contact. They also told me the parts were out of stock and I would have to check the stock and reach back out to them to initiate replacement rather than them doing it automatically. I still have the transcripts from every contact with them for reference.By the time I actually got the replacement product it had been over 2 months without the very expensive vacuum I paid for which left me no choice, but to buy another NOT DYSON product to use in the interim.Fast forward to today (about 4 months after receiving the replacement vacuum) and the powerhead has again stopped working. After going through the process of trouble shooting with the tech I have been informed yet again that the replacement is out of stock. When asked if it would ship to me automatically, YET AGAIN, I've been informed that I need to check the status of their stock and reach out to customer service for replacement.Needless to say this is the last Dyson product I will ever own.The "guidelines" for posting this review say not to speak about customer service however the customer service is directly relevant to the product and the overall experience. I'm simply taking a screen shot of my review so I can share it in other forums if Dyson chooses to delete my review here. I love the fact that the terms and conditions state that Dyson can remove posts that are defamatory among other things. Apparently that's where the highly rated product comes from because any post sharing a poor experience with a product could meet the dictionary definition of defamatory.

It's only OKAY for me

So I actually received this item as a gift from a friend in Brand New condition. He is extremely kind and ordered all the bells and whistles; Pet Grooming Attachment Kit, Cleaning Kit, extra Extension Hose, you name it. I have several issues with this model and the kits though. The largest attachment (vacuum head) has no light on it at all. It baffles me that that is the case on a vacuum at this price point. We are trying to figure out how to add one ourselves to help us see fur on the floor. A light on the large attachment head to help see fur on the floor when not using the smaller green laser attachment head would have made a huge impact on our experience with this model. I would love to see the laser on both honestly. The other issue I have is with the pet ... MoreSo I actually received this item as a gift from a friend in Brand New condition.

A light on the large attachment head to help see fur on the floor when not using the smaller green laser attachment head would have made a huge impact on our experience with this model. I would love to see the laser on both honestly. The other issue I have is with the pet grooming kit. You have to hold the trigger down on the vacuum while using it which is tiring and difficult when you are also trying to reach and groom the dog. Add on to that the attachment itself has a relatively rigid coil in the hose that causes the hose to keep trying to condense down while using it. The attachment brush itself requires holding down a lever like thing to get the brush pins out. Meaning you are expending effort to hold down the button, extend the relatively rigid hose, and also trying to press down the attachment head so that the brush is usable. This is just unreasonable to do while trying to brush an animal. I will note we did try ordering an additional attachment hose in order to lessen the strain while brushing that occurs when trying to extend the hose, but it was only a few inches when not extended, and maybe 12 inches or so when extended. Adding a separate always on button as opposed to the trigger function would also add great relief and free up a hand while grooming. The brush would also be less demanding if the pins were always out and you instead pushed the lever thing to release the fur off the pins. Hope they keep making improvements. Unrelated, but I am a huge fan of the Dyson heaters btw!

Not what I was expecting

I absolutely love, and I mean love Dyson vacuums. There is nothing that comes close to the performance and quality of their machines. To this day, I still use and operate an aged V7 and another 10+ year old corded model. Both vacuums are outstanding when it comes to power, performance, and longevity. My wife has donated the corded version for my construction and renovation work because, "It's too heavy to push around." I personally disagree with her, but if anyone would like to know how well these machines hold up over time, this corded version is no stranger to heavy cementitious dust and other construction, demolition, and renovation debris. It refuses to quit!Now with respect to the V15, it has been reported to be the most powerful battery operated vacuum, to ... MoreI absolutely love, and I mean love Dyson vacuums.

I personally disagree with her, but if anyone would like to know how well these machines hold up over time, this corded version is no stranger to heavy cementitious dust and other construction, demolition, and renovation debris. It refuses to quit!Now with respect to the V15, it has been reported to be the most powerful battery operated vacuum, to date, manufactured by Dyson. My wife and I wanted Dyson's very best, and so we made our purchase of their V15 Detect Absolute. We ordered and received the unit directly from Dyson, and the shipping box arrived in perfect condition without any evidence of tampering or damage. Upon opening and removing all the vacuum pieces, I was shocked to find several parts damaged. I am only allowed to 6 photos, but many more exist illustrating the damages. The aluminum extension tube came with a dent, the outside of the motor housing exhibits significant scratches and scuffs on several of the venturi structures, one attachment with gouged plastic (refer to image), and lastly, the clear plastic portion on the motorhead unit indicates internal circumferential wear, and per my experience and observation with owning and operating several Dyson vacuums over many years, this indication of wear seems to only be achieved after the unit has been used. To be clear, we placed an order for a new vacuum, and not a refurbished one. I am aware that Dyson does test their units, and evidence of such testing is to be expected; however, what I observed is beyond just factory testing. Needless to say, but will, it is being returned. The return process is made quite easy by the manufacturer.Something that is not readily discussed amongst Dyson owners, but I find may serve as a point of interest to some considering a purchase of a Dyson slimline style vacuum, is that they are designed in such a way that a thorough internal cleaning of the canister and venturis are next to impossible with compressed air. With my V7, I am able to visualize and blast out all dust accumulated in the unit. The slimline affords no way for the owner/ user to accomplish such a task. Trust me, if you have not yet used compressed air to clean the inner workings of your Dyson, you will be dumbfounded once you do. I am not talking about a can of compressed air used to dust off keyboards and electronics, I am referring to the compressed air originating from an air compressor. I am very diligent, to a fault, in cleaning my vacuums and power tools after each use. With the design of the slimline models, I just don't see how this could be pragmatically performed without complete disassembly and most likely voiding the warranty.Lastly, and with respect to performance, Dyson states that the V15 is their most powerful cordless vacuum to date. I disagree. I did a comparison of the suction power between my very aged V7 and the V15. Without a doubt, the V7 substantially exhibits a much greater suction force than the V15. I am not sure if the V15 that I purchased simply lacks the power to rival the V7, or if the unit is defective. The V15 starts up and sounds great without any signs that would indicate that the motor is not performing up to its expected standard.I only hope that the performance and appearance of the unit I received is an uncommon isolated occurrence, as I know my other Dyson products I purchased new, in the past, were received in impeccable condition, and their performance is just absolutely amazing!

Superb performance, easily my best vacuum cleaner so far.

I've owned several corded Dysons but this V15 Detect is by far my best ever vacuum cleaner. Battery life is much better than earlier models, but still limited as you would expect, and suction is also very good although nowhere near as strong as a corded vacuum. The V15 reflects years of thoughtful design by Dyson and is generally a delight to use. The usual weak and tiny hinges and awkward catches are still evident, but the trademark swirly plastic body and tools are still as tough as ever. For me it's comfortable to use and not too heavy, and the hidden crevice tool inside the aluminium wand is pure genius. However, the V15 has a dreadful press-to-use trigger which eventually becomes uncomfortable unless you change hands, and I don't know why Dyson didn't have a ... MoreI've owned several corded Dysons but this V15 Detect is by far my best ever vacuum cleaner.

For me it's comfortable to use and not too heavy, and the hidden crevice tool inside the aluminium wand is pure genius. However, the V15 has a dreadful press-to-use trigger which eventually becomes uncomfortable unless you change hands, and I don't know why Dyson didn't have a simple on-off switch like on their other models.The readout showing the battery consumption at the different speeds is very useful, but the tech showing the size of the sucked up particles is a bit of a gimmick and I would have preferred a model without it, with a commensurate drop in price. The two main cleaning heads are what really makes this vacuum special though. The carpet head has a non-tangle comb and stiff brushes, while the 'fluffy' head has a soft velvet roller for hard floors. They both work remarkably well. They have small electric motors in them, powered by a cable down through the wand, which assist the suction in the main unit, and I have never seen such good results. Floors and carpets are exceptionally clean and the laser light lets you see what you are doing. The days of the old turbine roller heads with little fans in them are numbered. This is my first cordless vacuum, and despite the eye watering price, it is a revelation. No more dragging a big lump on wheels about and having to unplug it when you run out of cable, and no more awkward hoses. The stick vac is clearly the way forward and this latest one from Dyson is very good indeed.

The V15 is an exemplary machine, much preferred to Stratos

I recently purchased a Dyson V15 Detect Extra, and as someone who previously owned a V10, the difference between the two models is truly remarkable. The V15 boasts significantly more power, requires less frequent filter cleaning, and includes a built-in crevice tool, all of which make cleaning a breeze.I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to compare the Dyson V15 with Shark's vacuum offerings, and I found that the Dyson outperformed its competition for several reasons:Cleaner head weight and maneuverability: Although this aspect might not be widely discussed, the lightweight design of the Dyson cleaner head is a game-changer.

It glides effortlessly between furniture, making it easy to clean tight spaces. At first glance, a duo brush roller head may seem like a superior option, but once you experience the difficulty of pushing around such a bulky head, you'll appreciate the sleek design of the Dyson.Sturdier build and better quality: The Dyson V15 feels solid and durable, capable of withstanding rough usage. The plastic components don't come across as cheap or flimsy, contributing to the overall impression of a well-crafted device.Built-in crevice tool: The integrated crevice tool is incredibly convenient. When you need to clean up small, hard-to-reach areas, simply detach the hose and vacuum up the stray bits of dirt that the larger brush can't access.In conclusion, the Dyson V15 Detect Extra is an outstanding vacuum cleaner, albeit a bit pricey. However, considering its numerous advantages and superior performance, I would argue that the investment is well worth it.On a side note, I added some climbing finger tape to the Dyson's handle and it made the device so much more comfortable to use. My hands no longer slide and I need to grip the handle less tightly.

Works well, initially defective, some improvements

*DEFECT* I poured over the reviews for this machine for 10 days in excitement waiting for it to arrive. I knew there had been some complaints of a "filter needs cleaning" message in defective machines last year. Did i expect mine to be effective a year later in October 2022? Nope, but it was. This machine is basicaly out of stock everywhere, takes a while to ship, and then it came and immediately gave me a filter needs cleaning error (which means, wash, let dry for 24 hours - but it was sparkling clean and i had just used the machine for 4 minutes). Very frustrating because Dyson will tell you to exchange the whole thing at best buy, but BB was out of stock at that point. Thankfully their customer service is great, got through to them instantly, she promptly sent me ... More*DEFECT* I poured over the reviews for this machine for 10 days in excitement waiting for it to arrive.

Very frustrating because Dyson will tell you to exchange the whole thing at best buy, but BB was out of stock at that point. Thankfully their customer service is great, got through to them instantly, she promptly sent me a new main body (do NOT replace the filter, ask to replace the main body, it's the computer that's the issue) and it arrived in 3 days. however, for this insane price point, Dyson should have slowed down and halted delivery of defective machines instead of sending this to inconvenience customers and cause frustration. Especially because Dyson will only replace the main body for you if they have it in stock - if not, you're out of luck and probably would have to return this if you couldn't find a replacement vac. *DYSON RUSHES THEIR PRODUCTS* as i said they should have slowed their roll and been careful to prevent such an obvious and inconvenient defect. i have an HP04 air purifier which costs an absurd amount of money and the motor made irritating high-pitched sounds within a few months, customer service replaced it and the new one quickly started making the same sound. it's a widespread common defect and now i'm out of warranty and can't do anything except smack the machine to make it quiet or constantly unplug it to let it cool off. For that price point? and now the same type of nonsense for my second insanely priced dyson product? *THE VACUUM* the vacuum is excellent. i have no upper body strength and it's not light as a feather but it's not hard to manouver, ESPECIALLY compared to dyson's larger more heavy duty vacuums, it's a breeze. however using it on upholstery or walls is strenuous which I wish they had accounted for. the laser is insane and illuminates dust and pet hair you'd never see otherwise. i love vacuuming in the dark. it's true what most are saying that it makes vacuuming much more fun and frequent. Eco mode is so quiet and doesn't scare my pets (im in a small place so theres nowhere for them to escape if it's loud). it will get you to vacuum more for sure. super satisfying to see how much gross stuff comes up off your floor and off of your couch. the fluffy head is great but useless on carpet so only frustrating thing is trying to pass it over litter mats, shoe mats etc is a bit janky. I do wish they were a bit more innovative with designing the parts so that switching brushes was a little bit more seamless (maybe like a magnetic pull to make it easier to switch mid-vacuuming) because it's a little anoying to switch and i'm allowed to be picky for this price. however i'd say the laser and the ease of use make all this worth it as i find vacuuming so fun now and it used to be my least favourite chore. I don't have the issue others have of hair getting stuck wrapped in the top of the bin, when that happens it shoots out when i empty the bin, or you can take the whole plastic bin off instead of sticking your hand in to reach the hair, much easier. the wall mount is great (use the anchors) but it's a bit odd that only some of the brushes can fit properly into the brush holders (eg the small hair-detangle brush doesn't fit on the wall mount holders, it's too wide, yet it's one of the most exciting brushes). I think overall dyson should have put a bit more thought into this if they're going to charge surreal prices but i really am happy with it because of how much fun it makes the vacuuming process and the amazing yet quiet suction. you'll realize how filthy your place is with the laser and it will motivate you to vacuum more for sure. be prepared for a risk of defect and I definitely recommend it if you have pets that shed as it will hold you more accountable to clean since it's so fun and convenient!

obsessed with my V15

I bought this as a housewarming gift to myself and I couldn’t be happier with the purchase! of course when you’re making a purchase this big, you read the bad reviews to know what could go wrong. my dyson had no defects, it worked perfectly out of the box, holding in the trigger is very easy so my hand doesn’t get too tired, and so far it’s worked on multiple different types of carpets. I have a very thick almost shaggy rug that you do have to push harder and make sure you’re on the lower level suction, but I think any vacuum would struggle with this and it still cleaned very efficiently. I also got my dyson with all of the accessories, and the hair screw tool is insanely effective. if you’re between models or don’t know if a vacuum is worth this much money, look up ... MoreI bought this as a housewarming gift to myself and I couldn’t be happier with the purchase! of course when you’re making a purchase this big, you read the bad reviews to know what could go wrong. my dyson had no defects, it worked perfectly out of the box, holding in the trigger is very easy so my hand doesn’t get too tired, and so far it’s worked on multiple different types of carpets.

I also got my dyson with all of the accessories, and the hair screw tool is insanely effective. if you’re between models or don’t know if a vacuum is worth this much money, look up vacuum wars on youtube and they’ll convince you! the hardwood fluffy brush is a complete game changer, especially in my bathroom/laundry room where I was appalled at how much dust there was, you could see exactly where the dyson had already cleaned with the laser. it’s also very easy to empty, although sometimes hair gets wrapped in the canister the wrong way and you have to do a little reach in - nothing compared to bag vacuums or the ones with giant canisters that leave a dust cloud behind! last thing is the charging time - I have half hardwood floors and half carpet, i’ve been cleaning a ton since i’ve moved and got a puppy, and it lasts at least 40 minutes every time I’m using it on Auto (i’ve never had to use Max power) so I’ve never been concerned with charging time. overall, every possible concern was proven wrong and the cordless vacuum is a life changer after only ever having corded uprights. vacuuming is actually fun with the laser and maneuverability of the regular roller head, even my boyfriend agrees! in my opinion the V15 has the best features (highest suction power, the laser cleaner, and 2nd best battery life) so I would highly recommend saving up for this model! my friend wanted a dyson and I let her clean her house with mine (two long haired cats) and she immediately bought one. i’ve also cleaned my car, couch, drawers, and stairs with it and it can truly get any job done.
