Not as good as the older models

V15 Detect

I brought the new Dyson V15 vacuum cleaner with high hopes it would be as good as the previous model. I was very disappointed as it doesn’t pick up small items as good as it should also the suction is very poor. Would I recommend this product no, would I buy another Dyson vacuum no I wouldn’t

I've had 2 dysons(one was a recall) in 20 years, so worth the money. BUT I've done my back in need to know if anyone has this v15 and a double coat dog husky or malamute. How does the vac go on carpet with them. My other vac is going well and reluctant to spend $1500.
Thank you

Hi. We have a fleece coated Groodle that sheds, and I'm loving the V15's efficiency in picking up the dog hair. It does a much better job that the Dyson Cinetic Big Ball Animal and the earlier stick vacuums in their range. It IS heavier than my old stick Dyson, but I can vacuum with ease.

Been reluctant on the sticks after reading feedback. Thank you

can you stop the brush head from spinning when vacuuming?

Michael

No

Hi Mike, the motor will run and brush bar will spin when you pull the trigger and they'll stop when you let go.
The motorised spinning action works conjunction with the airflow to maximise pick up on flooring.

Hello. I've always been disappointed in how quickly my stick vac loses power. They're always advertising 60min fade-free power etc but when I looked at the Choice website they tell a different (and more accurate story). Whilst the top recommendations are Dyson, when you look at them they give a true representation of just how long you get. The best is the Dyson V15 Detect total clean and the actual running time is 12 mins - Measured with brush head on and full power. Has anyone else had this issue? I'm reluctant to go through this again.

I'm not sure whether you have the 'max' setting button on - that will make the machine lose power faster and the battery life itself decreases too if it's always on.

Jennifer · 

on and off depending on what I'm doing but I need more than 5 mins. I can't even vac my small car in one go. I'm going to call them tomorrow

I have an older one that has the max button - the V8 or 10 I think - and it still lasts 20 mins off a full charge and its 5ish years old. 5 mins sounds very short and I'd take it back if you're still under warranty. Otherwise you can get repair shops to replace the battery, my mum has done this a few times

Details

The screen of the Dyson V15 Detect.

Features

Laser technology

An in-built green laser is precisely angled at 1.5 degrees, so that it reveals hidden dust on a floor’s surface, down to 10 microns. This helps you cater your vacuuming to specific spots on the floor that need attention.

Adjusting the level of suction

An acoustic piezo sensor is able to detect the size of particles being sucked up by the vacuum. It does this by ‘listening’ to the vibrations of the particles.

The vacuum automatically adjusts the suction power according to what the sensor hears is entering the vacuum. It increases suction when higher concentrations of dust are detected, and lowers it when the dust particles are smaller, or a lower level of dust is present.

The size and number of dust and debris particles are displayed on an LCD screen near the handle, using a coloured graph.

Anti-tangle technology

Hair often gets stuck in a Dyson vacuum’s brush bar. In response, Dyson has designed a hair screw tool that directs hair to spiral around the brush - then off it, and up into the vacuum bin.

Dyson states that this hair screw tool works with long hair and pet hair, which can save you time spent removing hair strands that have become firmly wound around the brush bar.

Easy cleaning

The filter and Dysons’s Fluffy brush bar can be washed in water to help easily maintain your new vacuum.

What are the options?

The Dyson V15 Detect is available in two models.

  • The V15 Detect Total Clean ($1, 399) is built with a 5-stage filtration system that captures 99.99% of dust particles down to 0.3 microns.
  • The V15 Detect Absolute Extra ($1, 449) features whole-machine HEPA filtration, which traps particles as small as 0.1 microns. This is similar to the air quality standard that many air purifiers use. It means dust is highly unlikely to be released back into a home’s atmosphere. This more expensive model also comes with a wall-mounted charging dock.

While technically not part of the same product line, the Dyson V12 Detect Slim uses all the same tech as the V15 Detect, but is smaller and more compact in design.

Points of praise:

  • Most reviewers found that the Dyson V15 Detect worked great on all the surfaces of their home, particularly appreciating how it would detect different surface types and change its suction power accordingly, which was handy for when moving from timber floors to rugs. Some users said that it picked up dirt and hair that other vacuum cleaners left behind.
  • They also reported that the bin was easy to empty.
  • Reviewers with furry, four-legged friends found that the vacuum cleaner picked up pet hairs very easily and effectively.
