I had the first cordless and it could barely run for 20 minutes on low. This upgrade is light years ahead with too many features to begin to mention! Outstanding job Dyson!

The main reason I was interested in this is simply because of the Dyson name on it. I am happy to report that it absolutely lives up to its namesake. The Dyson V15 Detect is one of the best vacuums I have ever used, cordless or otherwise. The powerful motor sucks up super fine, silt-like dirt. This is made even better by it being cordless. You can head straight to the mess without having to worry where the nearest outlet is or sacrificing any performance whatsoever. The multiple power modes allow you to select how much cleaning power you need with just a simple button press. I found that Auto mode is great at balancing power consumption with cleaning power and is the mode I almost all the time. The Laser Slim Fluffy cleaner head allows you to see even the smallest specs of dirt so that you never have to worry about missing a spot on your hard floors. I have included a picture of it in action. When you need to clean the carpeted areas of your home, switching heads is literally a snap. The feature I simultaneously love and hate the most is the particle counter on the LCD screen. I love it because it shows you, in real time, how much cleaner your place is becoming. Also, it makes cleaning seem like a game. Watching the numbers and graphs get larger makes you want to keep cleaning, even if for no reason other than seeing how high of a score you can get. I hate it because the high numbers show me how much dirt my other vacuums were leaving behind. During my initial use, I saw particle counts of nearly a billion (see picture). On top of that, I feel like it is shaming me for not cleaning my place as often as I evidently should.
As good as the V15 is, there are some things that I do not like about it. It takes a considerable amount of time to recharge. Going from 30% to a full charge took around 4 hours. Run time on a full charge leaves a bit to be desired as well. If left in Auto mode, you can get around an hour of continuous run time before you need to return it to its dock. If you switch it to boost mode, this time decreases to as little as 20 minutes. To make matters worse, utilizing the laser on the hard floor head shortens usage time even further. During my very unscientific test, vacuuming with the laser on seemed to use around 25% more battery power. With that being said, I believe that one charge will last long enough to clean most houses, provided that you don’t leave it in boost mode. Speaking of which, switching between modes is simple and straightforward but adjusting other settings is a bit more cumbersome. You have to press and hold the button to bring up the menu. Then once you adjust the setting to how you like it, you must press and hold the button for 3 seconds to confirm your choice. This isn’t the most intuitive method, but I suppose that most people will only have to do this once. Another issue is that the collection bin is not very large. I found myself emptying it every 5 minutes or so. Admittedly, this is a hard thing for me to complain about. Having a small collection bin keeps the unit portable and compact. Plus, the only reason it fills up so quickly is because it is doing such a fantastic job at cleaning. Personally, I’d rather empty it constantly than have it leave dirt behind like my other vacuums apparently were. But I did feel like it was worth mentioning.
At the end of the day, it is highly unlikely that you will be disappointed with the Dyson V15 Detect. It will show you dirt and dust you may have missed, clean it up, and tell you how much was there. Just leave it in Auto and let Dyson’s technology do the work for you. Oh, and return it to the dock when you’re finished.

Best Cordless Vacuum Ever

Dyson is one of those brands that doesn't need any introduction, specially their vacuums. V15 is no different. This is the best vacuum that we have used so far. I admit, I was a bit skeptical that a smaller stick vacuum could do the job in an almost 2700 sq ft house. Our previous dyson vacuum (ball) is not cordless and is the beast. Since this V15 is cordless, I expected it to be less powerful than my old one but to my surprise, it's gave tough competition. We are just in love with it. The brains Dyson added to this vacuum, along with the bigger battery capacity, have immensely added to the vacuum time I get on a charge. We also own a cordless vacuum from a different brand and the battery life is just awful on that. We hardly get around 15 mins (max) on it. So my expectation from Dyson V15 wasn't high as far as the battery life is concerned but boy, have I been surprised. This thing packs a major punch, and as a clean freak I couldn’t ask for a better machine. It is quiet, sophisticated, and easy to maneuver from hardwoods to carpet and rugs.
Upon opening, you will find an abundance of accessories packed nicely inside the box. Our previous dyson also came with a lot of accessories, We haven't even used half of them. At this point, I'm not sure if accessories are interchangeable or not. I haven't tried that yet but I think they are. It also comes with wall mount if you wish to mount it on wall for storing and/or charging. This is another feature that I like about dyson products, they think of all possible ways to meet customer requirements. The vacuum came pre-charged but I still put it on charge as dyson recommends. It took about an hour to fully charge but usually it takes about 4.5 hours to charge if it's completely dead. The extra power of the V15 does add size and weight to the vacuum. The battery is a bit bigger, the motor is a bit bigger and the filter is bigger.
Aesthetically the the coolest thing is the LED display that shows what mode you are using the vacuum in. It has 3 different modes: 1) Eco, 2) Medium & 3) Boost. The modes work exactly how they are named with Eco mode being the slowest and Boost being the most powerful mode. The battery usage will depend upon what mode you use the vacuum in. You will get most battery life in Eco mode and less in Boost mode. The good thing is LCD screen displays how much battery is left in terms of minutes. Dyson claims it can give you up to 60 minutes but again it all depends upon the mode of usage. The vacuum can be transformed in to a handheld one should you need to use it for vacuuming your car or upholstery. It also calculates and categorizes picked-up particles.
It comes with a total of 7 cleaner heads. These are:
1) High torque cleaner head
2) Laser Slim Fluffy cleaner head
3) Hair screw tool
4) Mini soft dusting brush
5) Crevice tool
6) Combination tool
7) Stubborn dirt brush
The Laser Slim Fluffy cleaner head features a precisely-angled laser which reveals microscopic dust specifically on hard floor. Laser can be turned On/Off with the switch on the cleaner head. My wife owns the Dyson hair dryer and the V15 vacuum sounds exactly same as that. Honestly, I would never tell the difference if you run of these gadgets while I'm blindfold.
It’s pricey, yes. But I’m 100% convinced it’s well worth the hole in your wallet. If you’re on the fence, stop sitting there and get this vacuum. It exceeds all expectations, and I’m so excited to continue to clean with it.

I just got my vacuum yesterday, I only vacuumed my bare floors and I got the message about my filter needing cleaned. I cleaned it how it tells you too. Waited 24 hours to dry and I put it back on and not even minutes into my second vacuuming it tells me it still needs to be cleaned.

First and only battery powered vacuum I’ve ever owned. It is better than expected. I love the foam roller for the hardwood. This is truly the first vacuum I’ve used that didn’t get my wife’s hair tangled in the roller. I wish the all purpose roller had laser on it but it is not deal breaker.

Simply put this vacume is built so well and can deal clean carpets and dust hard wood floors quickly. A sealed HEPA system and particle count are great features. However the green lazer is cool but really doesn’t add to much to the cleaning experience.

The only issue I have is the laser light provides oblique lighting that allows you to see every spec! Just when I think my floors are good I use that and realize how much dust/pet hair is really on my hardwood floors! Ha! I could vacuum forever

I love dyson products and have had 2 other dyson vacuums. They are wonderful. This specific vacuum makes both laminate flooring and carpet vacuuming so easy with a simple head swap. The battery lofe os excellent. The weight is light and maneuvering capability is outstanding. The suction even after 2 years has remained as strong as the first day use. All the attachments are so useful and grant not only floor but housewide cleaning capabilites. This product is a 10/10.

The Dyson V15 Detect is touted as the most powerful, intelligent cordless vacuum, with a laser to reveal microscopic dust. And I must say that the V15 Detect lives up to the hype even though I am not a fan of cordless vacuum cleaner since I have a different branded one which is quite disappointing.
First, the V15 detect boasts of two cleaner heads: one a slim fluffy cleaner head with laser designed for hard floors; and the other one a high torque cleaner head. I’ve first tested the high torque cleaner head since I’m more familiar with that one as it is similar if not the same head as the one found in other Dyson vacuum cleaners such as the V11. And coupled with Dyson’s Hyperdymium motor (Dyson’s name for a very powerful motor) , this vacuum delivers! I am amazed at the strength of the suction of this vacuum.
The included battery is rated at one hour in regular use but can be extended to 75 minutes as per my observation. There is also a boost most to maximize performance but that would be at around 20 minutes or so. The roughly one hour or so is enough for me to clean my 1600 square foot home. And by the way there is an LCD display on thing product too.
Next is the more interesting part is the second head designed to clean hard floors. Of course, a head that can clean hard floors is nothing new. But the laser light at the cleaning head is new to me or perhaps in any vacuum cleaner. At first, I thought it was some sort of gimmick. But when I actually tried it, it actually works! On the right sight is a toggle switch which turns on a green light. And when it’s on, you can actually see the dust on the floor which would actually be almost invisible to the naked eye. This is a very neat function since you can be more focused on areas that needs to be cleaned more.
Also impressive is the ability of the V15 Detect to detect the type of floor and adjust the suction strength. But more impressive is the ability to calculate and categorize particle pick-up. In fact there is a display that gives you a reading of how much particles are picked up in terms of size. This technology is similar to how an air purifier senses the amount and size of particles it collects. But for me, I’m already impressed with the amount of dirt it picked up when I cleaned three carpets in my house!
And like most vacuum cleaners, it also comes with other attachments to accommodate various cleaning requirements such as a smaller rotating cleaning head, various brushes and a crevice tool. Also, a hanging rack is included too.
And while there are documents such as instructions for using the hanging rack and safety guidelines, there is no product manual included. A quick check on the Dyson website showed that a support page for this product is still non-existent. But a quick phone call to Dyson’s call center not only resulted in answering my queries about the subject but also activating my product warranty with an email as proof of warranty. So, kudos to Dyson on that too.
I would highly recommend this product for those who want a robust vacuum cleaner.
