Upon receiving the machine, it looked like it was someone’s return. The machine itself was scuffed, and there were noticeable fingerprints in multiple spots.Leaving that aside, it’s disappointing for Dyson to sell an “Absolute” model that comes with almost no attachments. In the past, anytime you purchased an “Absolute” version from Dyson, it came with almost all, if not all the tools and attachments that they make; this one comes with just a combo brush that’s included on literally any cordless you get from them, and a mini motorized tool, nothing else. To add to this, they don’t even sell matching blue tools to go with the new color; and they’ve made it so none of the previous powered attachments such as the light pipe crevice tool and reach-under tools work ... MoreUpon receiving the machine, it looked like it was someone’s return.

To add to this, they don’t even sell matching blue tools to go with the new color; and they’ve made it so none of the previous powered attachments such as the light pipe crevice tool and reach-under tools work with this one, so you have no choice but to buy new ones. This is so disappointing given the new premium cost of the machine.Lastly, switching from a trigger mechanism to an on/off button is frustrating. Having the trigger made it so much easier for one-handed operation when cleaning above the floor. Instead of letting go of the trigger while moving things around, the vacuum is constantly running and wasting battery. Dyson has been using the trigger mechanism for ages, and I’ve loved it in the past 2-3 vacuums I’ve had from them, now you manually have to press the on/off button with your other hand every time you need to pause cleaning.Overall, the purchase was disappointing. I can maybe get over the fact that it comes with no attachments since they include some free ones (none of them actually match the blue vacuum) when you purchase through them; but having received a machine that’s scuffed and covered in fingerprints right out of the box is unacceptable. I didn’t pay this much to get a used machine. I miss the days when Dyson actually gave you what you paid for, and had decent quality control.

It has been a game-changer for picking up hard-to-see dust and crumbs, but it has never worked well in bright rooms. Dyson has mostly solved this problem in the new Gen5detect with the new Fluffy Optic head. Dyson has also implemented some other changes with the aim of increasing performance and usability, but not every change has worked out for the better.=== UNBOXING AND OVERVIEW ===- If you've owned any previous Dyson cordless model, you'll feel right at home here. The Gen5detect is extremely easy to unbox and set up, though be prepared to sift through a lot of cardboard and protective packaging to find everything in the box.- This particular model features a matte purple stainless steel-looking color on the wand. It looks great and is fingerprint resistant.- The Gen5detect comes with two cleaner heads (the Fluffy Optic and the High Torque) and only two standalone attachments (hair screw tool and combination tool). With this generation, Dyson has integrated the crevice tool into the wand of the vacuum, which means you no longer have to stop your cleaning routine to snap on this attachment. There is a new red button at the top of the wand. Press this button and pull the wand away, and you the vacuum will instantly transform into handheld mode with the crevice tool already attached. It's a neat feature that I'm amazed hadn't been thought of in previous generations.- Dyson recommends charging the vacuum for at least 4.5 hours or until 100% before first use, but vacuum was already at 70% charge out of the box. This is an entirely new battery design, so if you have previous Dyson stick vacuums with click-in batteries, you won't be able to use them with the Gen5detect.- The most noticeable change compared to previous generations is the removal of the trigger that powers on the vacuum. Now, there is a single red button at the top of the vacuum which powers it on and off. I'm not quite sure how I feel about this yet. I suppose it's great for longer cleaning sessions where your finger might get tired holding down the trigger. But I've also found that it's a bit of a pain when I just need to use the vacuum in quick bursts, such as cleaning up a small mess on the kitchen floor. I know I will adjust to having no trigger, but I've gotten so used to it on previous Dyson vacuums over the years that it still feels weird to hold one without a pressing down a trigger.=== FLUFFY OPTIC HEAD PERFORMANCE ===- The laser Fluffy head was my favorite part of the V15, and I love the new Fluffy Optic head even more. My main gripe with the old laser Fluffy head was that the green light was just too dim to be effective in bright rooms, so I often found myself turning off all the lights when vacuuming my hard floors. But no more - the Fluffy Optic head is significantly brighter than the old one - I’d say at least twice as bright, and it work great even with the lights on.- I live in an apartment that consists of 90% laminate flooring, and my floors have never felt so clean. Gone are the days of wondering if you've actually picked up all of the dust and crumbs on your hard floors. As you can see in the attached photo, there is a green laser on the right side of the Fluffy head that projects at a 90-degree angle.- The Fluffy head automatically adjusts the suction of the vacuum based on how much debris it detects on your floors. Compared to the V15 Detect and the old laser Fluffy head, the Gen5detect and Fluffy Optic head do a much better job of adjusting suction on the fly. It happens almost instantaneously, where as the V15 would take a few seconds to recognize larger amount of debris.- Unlike the previous laser Fluffy head, the laser on the Fluffy Optic head cannot be turned off. Not sure why you would ever want to turn it off anyways, but it’s worth noting=== HIGH TORQUE CLEANER HEAD ===- This cleaner head is mainly for use on rugs and carpet, though it can also be used on hard floors. Unlike previous versions of the torque drive cleaner head, this "High Torque" version has polycarbonate teeth which prevents hair from tangling around the bristles.- Once again, it works as advertised. I have vacuumed my bedroom carpet extensively with this cleaner head and have not noticed any hair wrapped around the bristles -- it all makes its way into the bin.- Like the Fluffy Optic head, the High Torque head will adjust the vacuum's suction based on floor type and carpet thickness to maximize battery life and cleaning performance. On both cleaner heads, you can choose Eco, Auto, or Boost modes via a button below the LCD screen. Boost mode obviously provides the best performance but there is a big hit to battery life.- Dyson says that the new motor in the Gen5detect has 262 air watts of suction versus the 230 air watts in the V15. But honestly, it’s not noticeable. I don’t doubt that there is some increased power here, but it’s not going to significantly change your experience compared to the V15.=== OTHER FEATURES AND THOUGHTS ===- Like the V15, the Gen5detect will show you on screen a measurement of debris and particles collected as you vacuum. The machine measures particles in sizes of 10, 60, 180, and 500 micrometers, which is roughly the equivalent of pollen, skin flakes, fine sand, and fleas, respectively. It’s a novel feature for a vacuum, but I haven’t found it to be extremely useful. If you want to see how much debris has been collected, just look in the bin.- Like previous Dyson vacuums, the Gen5detect is very easy to clean and maintain. The point-and-shoot design of the canister makes it very easy to empty debris directly into a trash can. The filter keeps dust out of the air and is easy to clean by just running it under a faucet. This model does feel a bit heavier than previous ones, so you’ll want to take care to not drop it while emptying over a trash can.- Dyson claims that the Gen5detect will provide "up to 70 minutes of run time," which is only 10 minutes more than the V15 Detect. It’s the best battery life of any Dyson stick vacuum, but I’m not sure it’s worth the premium price over the older models. I haven’t noticed a meaningful improvement in battery life, though it has never been an issue for me in an apartment. If you have a larger home, you still might want to pick up a spare click-in battery.- If you have a Floor Dok from a previous Dyson stick vacuum, the Gen5detect will not fit in it. The battery is too narrow, and the design of the charging plug/barrel has changed. Unfortunately, Dyson does not currently sell a Floor Dok for the Gen5detect in the United States.- Dyson has also changed the design of the wall dock. With previous models, it was very easy to disassemble and remove the wall dock from your wall. Now, Dyson has changed the design so that the front piece of the wall dock permanently locks onto the back piece that is drilled into you wall. Once you lock that front piece into place, there is no easy way to get it off without breaking the entire wall dock or ripping out your drywall. I wanted to move my wall dock to an adjacent wall after I first installed it, so I called Dyson and they could not give me any clear instructions on how to remove it. Watch the YouTube video called “How to set up the docking station station for your Dyson Gen5detect” and you’ll see what the problem is.=== OVERALL ===The Dyson Gen5detect is an excellent cordless vacuum, and it is by far Dyson’s best model yet. I was already in love with the V15 Detect, and some of the new features in the Gen5detect are excellent improvements. The new Fluffy Optic head is a massive improvement over the previous version. I think I will come to appreciate the lack of a trigger and the increased battery life. If you have a V15 model, there is no need to jump at this upgrade - maybe see if you can purchase the Fluffy Optic head separately if you’re looking for better performance on your hard floors. The increased battery life and suction are negligible for most people, and the head-scratching designs of the new charging plug and wall dock are a little disappointing. Regardless, the Gen5detect is the one to get if you want the best that Dyson has to offer, but it will be hard to ignore the price tag, especially compared to the still-available V15 Detect that offers most of the same features at a much better value.

This is my first Dyson machine having always thought what's the big deal a Vacuum is a Vacuum right? Well how wrong could I have been! This machine has sucked up so much deep down dust out of our carpet that I'm honestly blown away - I had fully believed that our carpet was thoroughly clean as we have always regularly vacuumed our house, but I now know the carpet was only 'surface clean'. We'd been using a rival brands top of the line super duper suction pet hair removal stickvac that I now know isn't anything close to what they say it is or what I thought it was.We've been using the Gen5Detect for a fortnight now and we all love it.

The hard floor head with the detect light is beyond brilliant, the conical screw head and carpet heads not getting tangled up with hair are absolutely amazing! We have 4 long haired humans and a ragdoll cat so I was constantly having to detangle my old stickvac after every single use. I love the choice of power modes, the long battery life, the charging dock that holds all the spare attachments, the ease of emptying the bin. I am 100% a Dyson convert for life. My daughters and son in law have all said after using our Dyson that they will absolutely be buying the same machine as they are moving into their own homes later this year.Well done Dyson on not only delivering on every single claim and promise your advertising made about this incredible machine, but exceeding my expectations on every claim. Absolutely brilliant work.I wanted to note that I am physically disabled and though this unit weighs 3.5kg it glides so smoothly over all floor surfaces it really doesn't feel heavy at all and I can easily use it one handed while still using my walking stick in the other hand.

My daughters and son in law have all said after using our Dyson that they will absolutely be buying the same machine as they are moving into their own homes later this year.Well done Dyson on not only delivering on every single claim and promise your advertising made about this incredible machine, but exceeding my expectations on every claim. Absolutely brilliant work.I wanted to note that I am physically disabled and though this unit weighs 3.5kg it glides so smoothly over all floor surfaces it really doesn't feel heavy at all and I can easily use it one handed while still using my walking stick in the other hand.
I've been purchasing Dyson's cordless vacuums since the V6 model so have owned several iterations throughout the years. This is a great step in the right direction for this product line for the main component itself as well as the included attachments (I've included some pictures of comparisons between the Gen5 Detect vs. V12 Detect). Now, I will acknowledge that, as someone who owns several iterations of Dyson vacuums, they've made just enough design changes that this model is not compatible with components/accessories of previous models.This vacuum does a great job with hardwood floors using the Fluffy Optic cleaner head.

This is a great step in the right direction for this product line for the main component itself as well as the included attachments (I've included some pictures of comparisons between the Gen5 Detect vs. V12 Detect). Now, I will acknowledge that, as someone who owns several iterations of Dyson vacuums, they've made just enough design changes that this model is not compatible with components/accessories of previous models.This vacuum does a great job with hardwood floors using the Fluffy Optic cleaner head. I also use the same head for low pile rubs and hasn't caused an issue. The green laser has been improved with a little more power to shine a little further than previous models, which is helpful for hardwood/tile floors, specifically. It's, of course, significantly more noticeable in dark spaces but it's sufficiently powerful enough to illuminate particulate matter - it's a fun way to incorporate the Tyndall Effect into a consumer product. I honestly thought this as just a gimmick but it's actually quite helpful.The Digital Motorbar cleaner head has been slightly redesigned - it still incorporates their spiraling across the rotating component to help reduce entanglement of hair but it also has noticeably shorter bristles to help with that as well. In addition (this is probably the biggest change) is that they've incorporated a comb-like component into the cleaner head to essentially remove hair from the bristles so it can get sucked up into the canister. For carpets, this head also has the option to get tighter suction with the red notch at the face of the head. It opens/closes some "gates" to allow for use on low and high pile carpets- when it's open it allows a bypass stream so that it's not completely (literally) vacuum sealed. Both attachments have a new bouncy tube at the pivot point of the neck to help maneuver the cleaner attachment as you use them.The primary wand (tube) itself has an integrated dusting and crevice tool. These were traditionally two separate attachments that you could swap out but now it's always available so you don't have to carry them around or go back to the dock. Minor, creative change.The third major attachment is the conical surface brush (I use them for car seats and couches, primarily). The angled design is supposedly intended to help with managing hair. The fourth is their standard combo tool that's sort of a wide-mouth nozzle and brush in one.Overall, the power is outstanding. Note that these new attachments now come with integrated ports to actually power the rotating tools (there are two metal pins at the docking point), which is probably how they get the brushes to rotate as well as they do. Previous models that didn't have this would jam up the attachments if the suction was too tight.MY GRIPES:- I'm glad they changed the on/off switch to be a button and not a trigger like they had in the past; however, this thing is heavy and I can see extended use of the vacuum could cause some strain on the wrist.- Because of all the motors and batteries being situated on the handheld component, this vacuum can get a little clunky to maneuver when, for example, vacuuming your couch.- There's not standing dock available to purchase for this vacuum and because of the minor changes to the power cord and attachment design, you can't reuse previous Dyson docks. Your only real option is to mount the (included) wall dock or buy a third party model.- The 70+ minute rating is when the vacuum is used on the "ECO" setting. That should be sufficient for large homes with hardwood floors but I would say, you'd get ~35% less battery time when using it at the standard setting and probably an additional 50% reduction when you go to intense setting. Overall, though, that should be more than sufficient for standard sized homes.
This is the second Dyson vacuum I owned. The first was one of their big, intimidating upright vacuums that took up tons of space but made up for it with raw sanitizing power. As such I was eager to try out the Gen5 Detect to see if it could serve as a worthy and more space-conscious replacement. And while I’ve been overall very impressed by its performance so far… I sadly have come to the conclusion that it may be more of a supplement.To start, I’d like to highlight that there are a lot of things that this vacuum did right. The first thing is that it comes with just about everything you might want or need standard, rather than requiring you to go out and look for expensive accessories after the fact. And as you’d expect it offers a ton of suction power and very ... MoreThis is the second Dyson vacuum I owned. The first was one of their big, intimidating upright vacuums that took up tons of space but made up for it with raw sanitizing power. As such I was eager to try out the Gen5 Detect to see if it could serve as a worthy and more space-conscious replacement. And while I’ve been overall very impressed by its performance so far… I sadly have come to the conclusion that it may be more of a supplement.To start, I’d like to highlight that there are a lot of things that this vacuum did right. The first thing is that it comes with just about everything you might want or need standard, rather than requiring you to go out and look for expensive accessories after the fact. And as you’d expect it offers a ton of suction power and very good cleaning performance. The standout feature here is the “fuzzy optic” brush cleaning head meant for solid floors. A green light source scattered in a wide fan in front of the cleaning area causes every speck of dust, stray dog hair, or scuff on the floorboards to immediately fluoresce so that you can identify which areas need the most attention as you work, which is supplemented by a real time display on the back showing you how much material the vacuum is picking up as you go and how big most of it is. I’ll admit that I’m not sure getting a final tally of the number of dust particles removed is necessarily something I NEED to know, but it does add to the cool factor of the tech. Other features such as the hair-removal combs for the carpet cleaning head or the interesting corkscrew design for the upholstery head aren’t quite as flashy, but they do the job as well. And, as I’ve come to expect from Dyson, there’s a lot of attention shown to making the unit easy to maintain as well. Every time you open the dust bin a set of seals scrapes down the permanent metal filter, helping to clear it out and making sure none of the crud you pick up works its way back into the rest of the machine. The main HEPA filter twists off and can be cleaned in the sink. And everything with moving parts that need to be maintained is designed with toolless maintenance in mind, making it quick and easy clean up after you’re done or swap in spares when the time comes to replace parts.As for the actual user experience, I was very satisfied. The cleaning heads aren’t quite big enough that I’d want to be vacuuming an entire house with them, but they’re great for spot cleaning after a project or quickly touching up a bedroom. And the motor, despite its bulk, is shockingly quiet. By default it operates on an auto mode, where it adjusts the motor speed to how much dust it picks up. In the past I’ve found that these kinds of things are usually very hit or miss, with it often making more sense to just turn them up to full and leave them here, but I didn’t have any issues with the Dyson. It was responsive any time it found a big pile of dust or stubborn clump of dog hair, and apart from that it kept things dialed down so that I could enjoy watching the bin fill up without feeling bad about scaring the dog.Unfortunately, as much as I liked my time with the vacuum, I also kept running into little issues that did dampen my enthusiasm somewhat. The first one was encountered right as I opened the box and found popped seams on two of the cleaning heads. It wasn’t particularly hard to fix – a little pressure along the open seams was all that it took to get the plastic parts to seal back together and there haven’t been issues since – but it was very surprising to see that it made it through quality control on a product from a company that’s made a name for itself on paying attention to small details.I never ran into any similar issues with build quality again, but I did find a lot of things about the design that seemed a little… off. The weight distribution, for example. The motor and battery unit are very heavy, and the attachments do not do a good job of taking up any of that weight as you use them. This can make the thing a little ungainly to maneuver, which made getting into ceiling corners something of an adventure. Apparently with this model they also moved the power button from a trigger on the grip to a button placed on the rear of the unit. While I can see how a trigger wouldn’t feel great to use here, I don’t think that a button that more or less requires a second hand to reach is that much better. Often I do find myself needing both hands to steady the vacuum, particularly with the wand attached, so the presence of a thumb switch or some other mechanism to allow for one-handed operation would have gone a long way towards making it feel less awkward. I was also rather disappointed to see that there was little if any attention being paid to how you store the collection of accessories that come included. On my upright vacuum, everything either had a storage solution or was designed to retract into the body of the unit itself so that you never had to worry about losing something. Here, it feels like an afterthought. The charging stand has two sockets for accessories, but there simply isn’t enough space to make use of them. Just about everything is wide enough that if you insert it into one of the sockets, you block access to the other. The only exception to this is the main wand, which you’d normally probably be storing attached to the vacuum anyway. So everything ended up scattered around the living room for a day or so before being shoved unceremoniously into a bag stowed in the closet. Finally, the carpet cleaning brush was constantly getting bogged down when I tried to run it until I was able to dial in the right clearance using a stiff slider on the front of the cleaning head, where you basically had to flip the thing upside down to adjust it. If you live in a home with throw rugs or multiple thicknesses of carpet, it seems to me like this would be an annoying extra step to go through every time you wanted to move on to another room.Ultimately, I don’t think any of these issues are necessarily deal breakers. Most other vacuums I’ve used have had similar problems, if I’m being honest. But when you’re paying extra for a brand like Dyson, which is supposedly offering an elevated experience, it feels like it’s not unreasonable to expect more. It’s still a great option for small spaces or as a supplement to an upright or robot vacuums to do detail work, but in my opinion it’s still something of a lesser option to Dyson’s upright offerings.
I have been using the Dyson Gen5detect for a few days now and I have a lot to say about it. As a cleaning machine, it is exceptional. The impressive suction power and the bright laser light that illuminates even the tiniest dust particles have made a significant difference for my hardwood floors and carpets. It has truly transformed my cleaning routine. The built-in crevice tool has also been incredibly useful for reaching those hard-to-access spots.I must give a special mention to the new battery design. It is slim, long-lasting, and provides me with over an hour of cleaning time in Eco mode. Additionally, the vacuum is equipped with a HEPA filter, which Dyson claims can remove 99.99% of particles. This gives me and my family peace of mind, knowing that even the ... MoreI have been using the Dyson Gen5detect for a few days now and I have a lot to say about it.

This gives me and my family peace of mind, knowing that even the smallest dust particles are being captured.As a previous user of the Dyson Cyclone V10, I have also noticed several design improvements that enhance the overall cleaning experience with the Gen5detect. I particularly love the balance and grip of the vacuum. The combination of power and quiet operation makes it feel and perform like a top-of-the-line vacuum.To summarize, here are the key areas where the Gen5detect excels …Powerful vacuuming: It effectively removes dust, eliminating the need to vacuum the same area multiple times.HEPA filter: The vacuum captures fine dust particles that other vacuums might release back into the air.Bright laser to reveal dust: The green, illuminating laser at the brush makes it easy to spot dust and demonstrates the vacuum's effectiveness at removing it.Display that counts dust particles: The screen provides visibility into the types of dust particles identified and removed.Built-in crevice tool: It allows for easy transition between vacuuming floors and furniture, as well as accessing tight spaces without the need for additional accessories.Grip and balance: The vacuum offers a comfortable grip and excellent overall balance, making it easy to operate and maneuver.Quiet operation: It is significantly quieter than my Dyson V10 and only powers up when needed based on dust detection.Power button: Unlike previous models, it does not require the button to be continuously pressed for operation, reducing strain on the hand.Long battery life: I was able to clean for a full hour without running out of battery.… and a few things for you to considerWeight: The inclusion of the crevice tool, HEPA filter unit, and larger battery adds some weight to the vacuum.Storage: The vacuum cannot stand on its own, but the wall hanging unit is easy to install and works well.Emptying the container: There could be room for further optimization in the process of emptying the dust container to reduce the dust cloud it creates.Overall, the Dyson Gen5detect is a powerful vacuum cleaner with advanced features that make cleaning more efficient and thorough, and I’m thrilled with the excellent cleaning experience.
Dyson Gen5 Detect is the latest and most powerful cordless vacuum. I have been using the Dyson Outsize as my go to vacuum cleaner and Gen5 is no doubt an upgrade with all the features and functionality it comes with. The entire package is well made and remarkably easy to unbox and set up. Everything is cardboard, which means fully recyclable. In the box you will find the vacuum cleaner, the Fluffy Optic cleaner head, Digital Motorbar cleaner head, hair screw tool, wand with built-in crevice tool, combination tool, docking station and the charger.One of the biggest differences you will notice is the placement of the power button.

In the box you will find the vacuum cleaner, the Fluffy Optic cleaner head, Digital Motorbar cleaner head, hair screw tool, wand with built-in crevice tool, combination tool, docking station and the charger.One of the biggest differences you will notice is the placement of the power button. You no longer have to hold the trigger when vacuuming. There is a traditional power button at the top of the vacuum cleaner that you use to turn it on and off. This might take some time to get adjusted to, if you are used to the trigger, but it is a welcome sign for most. Make sure you charge your battery fully before using it. It can take up to 4-5 hours to fully charge (0% to 100%) depending on how much charge you have when unboxed. Keep in mind, the battery on this is not interchangeable with previous models.The powerful motor provides incredibly good suction power for all your cleaning needs. I use it mostly in Auto mode so it can change according to the floor I am cleaning. I was able to vacuum the entire house on one full battery charge, which lasted around an hour. The more you use on carpet or Boost mode, you will get less run time. The LCD display is useful in showing the remaining battery percentage as well as how much dust has been collected after each clean. The Fluffy Optic cleaner head has Laser light placed which highlights the dirt and dust that is normally not visible. The light is bright enough to be able to see in a well-lit room. Just remember, you can't turn it off. The Digital Motorbar is handy in removing hairs while also helping in detangling the hair when cleaning.I really like the wand that comes with this vacuum. It has a built-in crevice tool. What it means is that if you remove any of the attached tool, it instantly converts to a handheld vacuum without the needing to stop and go. The docking station is convenient to store the vacuum cleaner and charge it. If you have the floor standing dock, the Gen5 Detect is not compatible with it. Another feature I like is the washable filters. This means no need for an additional cost to replace the filters at a regular interval.Cleaning the vacuum cleaner is effortless. You can empty out the bin directly into garbage with just a push of a button. Consider the Gen5 Detect if you are looking to upgrade your existing stick vacuum or want a powerful vacuum cleaner with all the improvements.
For me, this was a different experience cleaning my home using this Dyson cordless vacuum. The regular features which are standard in other handheld vacuums are top notch and a few next-level features make this an outstanding one.I am amazed at how effectively the fluffy optic head works on a hard floor that is powered by a green light that illuminates the dirt and debris on the wooden floor or tiles. Even my kids were able to clean the floor perfectly with the help of this light which keep them encouraged to participate in daily chores. This looks like redefining the cordless vacuuming with the Gen5detect model that has a powerful suction on the boost mode.The console has a LED screen with no trigger to hold and allows one to easily switch between different ... MoreFor me, this was a different experience cleaning my home using this Dyson cordless vacuum.

This looks like redefining the cordless vacuuming with the Gen5detect model that has a powerful suction on the boost mode.The console has a LED screen with no trigger to hold and allows one to easily switch between different modes like Eco, Boost, and Auto. The best part is the timer which displays the available battery time to the nearest second. The dust detection summary keeps track of the dust particles being vacuumed group by size. This cordless removes 99.9% of dirt down to 0.1 micron which I believe is the best.In general, cordless vacuums do not have long runtime as the batteries are pretty small but surprisingly this one has a total runtime of 70 minutes in Eco mode which is much more than what one would need to vacuum a decent size home. I was easily able to do so for my home of about 2500 sq feet. Not just the runtime, even the bin capacity is big enough at 0.2 gallons to support the battery life and stay focused on cleaning activities than keep on emptying the bin in between.Another great feature is its Digital Motorbar which intelligently adapts suction power to the different floors which is definitely an add-on. Not just this, it has hair removal vanes which automatically detangles hair from the brush as I vacuum which keeps the brush clean at all times and avoids the situation where the vacuum stops working due to a lot of hair being tangled on the roller.This can easily be converted to a handheld vacuum in just a click without wasting any time using the built-in crevice tool and I don’t have to change heads or carry around other parts. But this can be removed to make it slightly lighter if required.The filter and optic head are both washable and the entire set has a 2-year warranty.This has wall dock but I would have prefer it to stand without the wall dock but being slightly heavier this may not have been practically possible.
We have been hooked on Dyson products since our first Dyson V8 years ago. Since then, we have appreciated the engineering and technology behind Dyson products. There is a reason why Dyson is considered the Gold Standard which all other competitors aim to achieve. Regarding vacuum cleaners, we have transitioned from the V8 to the V11 Torque Drive, and most recently, we have been using the Dyson V12. With each upgrade, we noticed changes made to the products based on customers’ critiques and how Dyson used these suggestions to improve their products. Going from the V11 to V12, we were blown away by how lightweight the vacuum had become; unfortunately, this resulted in a smaller dust bin and decreased battery life.

Regarding vacuum cleaners, we have transitioned from the V8 to the V11 Torque Drive, and most recently, we have been using the Dyson V12. With each upgrade, we noticed changes made to the products based on customers’ critiques and how Dyson used these suggestions to improve their products. Going from the V11 to V12, we were blown away by how lightweight the vacuum had become; unfortunately, this resulted in a smaller dust bin and decreased battery life. Despite the smaller size, we loved the newly introduced on/off button instead of the trigger, the green laser lighting which helped pick up dirt, particularly on dark surfaces, and to our surprise, the V12 was still as effective at picking up dirt as our V11.The new Gen5 blows the prior vacuums out of the water. It combines the best features from all prior iterations into one powerhouse of a vacuum. We placed our V12 side-by-side with our Gen5 and were surprised that they were almost identical in length. The Gen5 features the on/off switch introduced on the V12, yet placed in an easier-to-access location, immediately above the display. The Gen5 also features laser lighting and accessories for all of your cleaning needs, in particular, tangle-free brush heads for both pet and human hair, just as the V12 did! Now, where this vacuum begins to really stand out is the large dust bin capable of picking up dirt from an entire household without the need to constantly empty. The Gen5 detects different surfaces and auto-adjusts power to transition between carpet, hardwood floors, rugs, etc. Gen5 also brings a newer display that presents the number of particles it captures during vacuuming and turns green when your floor is clean so you can ensure you are getting that deep clean, even at the microscopic level. The Gen5 also features an integrated Additionally, with Gen5 we see the HEPA filter, which is removable and washable! HEPA filtration has been the gold standard in households, hospitals, and, unsurprisingly, Dyson fans! This is particularly useful for those of us with seasonal allergies/hay fever, asthma, or just sensitivities to dust in general.TL;DR?Pros:- HEPA filtration; removable & washable- Integrated crevice and dusting tool (no more trying to remember where you placed that dusting tool!)- LARGE dust bin- Longer battery life than all prior models- Tangle-Free brush head and accessories- On/Off switch; no need to hold down a trigger- A newly designed mounting plate for storage (this was not mentioned previously, but it made the wall mount setup an absolute breeze)!- LASER lighting for dirt detection, particularly against darker backgrounds (i.e. dark hardwood floors)- New display showing the number of particles picked up by the vacuum in real-time and it turns GREEN when your floor is clean.- Dyson customer service & Engineering(In my experience, they have always gone above and beyond what is expected of them AND strongly back their own products)Cons:- In my honest opinion, NONE. The most common critique I have heard of Dyson products is that they are “too expensive”. However, after owning several other brands, I can tell you with confidence that NONE holds up as well as Dyson. Every single product we have upgraded has gone to another home in FULL working condition.Still not convinced? Visit a Dyson store or pick one up and try it. I can almost guarantee you will love the product.
I've been using the Dyson V15 Detect for a while and was offered the opportunity to try out the Gen5Detect, so I jumped at the chance.Who needs instructions when you can just dig right in? The Gen5 is already partially charged out of the box so I could start vacuuming right away...but wait, what happened to the trigger, it's gone! Oh, I see, now there's a button above the display that turns the machine on and off. That's different, and as I've gotten more familar, I have found it to be much easier to use without the power trigger.I've been using the Gen5 in auto mode, meaning the device adjusts it's rate of speed based on the level of dirt it is encountering. It seems to work well, compensating nicely as I go over areas of the carpet. With the display, you can ... MoreI've been using the Dyson V15 Detect for a while and was offered the opportunity to try out the Gen5Detect, so I jumped at the chance.Who needs instructions when you can just dig right in?

It seems to work well, compensating nicely as I go over areas of the carpet. With the display, you can see real time the particles it is picking up. It's very cool to see if you are a data freak, but at the end of the day you just want your carpet clean.There are some "gee whiz" cool things with this vacuum, such as the build in dusting and crevice tool. This way you don't have to go back to your vacuum tool set in the middle of vacuuming; this is a new feature of this vacuum and very cool, although it does mean this unit is a little heavier than the previous generation. You'll also see when your floor is clean as the display will show you all green bars on the particle types when it's not picking up anything.This unit also includes a HEPA filter which is supposed to trap the littlest of things. It is difficult for me to actually prove it is better than a 'regular' filter but in this world we'll take any enhancement we can get to stop mites and anything else!The product I received had a carpet cleaning head and a bare floor head which has a laser that shows you the dirt. It is a cool feature and you can see dirt better with it than without it although it is important to note the last model had the ability to turn off the laser but this model does not have that option. (I always had it on anyway, but just a heads up to those who had the previous model).The unit itself is approximately the same size as the previous one, however with a different sized battery pack, it means if you had the stand up dock before, you'll need a new one for this model. If you had your previous one attached to the wall, it looks like you can slide out the old base for the new one, so you may be in better shape, although it's important to note that I just eyeballed the old and the new and did not actually affix it to the wall to check.If you are new to Dyson vacuums, you are in for a treat. The fact it is cordless and bagless is very much appreciated, full charges are claimed to give up to 60 minutes. I've never run out of battery when doing my house (multiple floors) but the time on the display usually starts around 50 and drops depending on the amount of power used.The vacuum is light, does what I need it to do, and lives up to the Dyson reputation. Fans of the product that are upgrading from a recent purchase may still be happy with what they have, especially when you'll have to repurchase accessories again like the dock you'll have to ask is it worth the full cost for the one button on and hepa upgrades, but if you want the absolute best in market cordless vacuum as of this writing, this is the one to get.
