Dyson DysonV15, V15 Detect Animal Cordless Stick Cleaner, Grey, 220 W, 0.76 liters

Product Information

I can’t go any further without mentioning the green laser on the fluffy head. This shines a blade of light in front of the head, highlighting dirt on the ground, so you can visually ensure that an area is clean. Using the V15 in handheld mode means it can be used for a myriad of different dust collecting tasks, including vehicles, ensuring you don't need a separate car vacuum. Not only that but the piezo sensor is also used with the two main floor heads, the Laser Slim Fluffy and the High Torque cleaner head with anti-tangle comb, to automatically adjust the vacuum cleaner’s power according to the level of dirt. The extra tech in the Dyson V15 Detect means it weighs in at just over 1lb / 500g heavier than the V11 Absolute, so are the extra weight, and the hefty price tag, justified by the vacuum's cleaning power and smart features? We put it to the test to find out. DysonV15 Detect: Price and availability

The Complete includes even more accessories, but that’s the only difference between the two variants. The V15 Detect also comes with the High-Torque cleaning head, that when used on Auto Mode, will adjust the power to suit the type of floor you’re cleaning when using. However, unlike the version that ships with the V11 range, it now has 56 polycarbonate teeth that shred hair into small sections, to stop it getting tangled around the bristles of the cleaning head. As usual, you have to hold the trigger while vacuuming. It takes some time to get used to it, but it didn’t annoy us in everyday life.We cleaned twice on hard floors, as Dyson UK has supplied the Torque-Drive standard floor nozzle and the Slim Laser Fluffy attachment for this. It’s super versatile as a handheld vacuum cleaner and ideal for vacuuming furniture or other objects. Dyson V15 as a Car Vacuum The runtime of one charge is essential for a cordless vacuum cleaner. It should last long enough to vacuum your home thoroughly at least once in one go. In the box, you also get a crevice tool, dusting brush, stubborn dirt brush and combination too. That’s pretty much every accessory you could need for daily cleaning.

TheV15 Detect ships with two cleaning heads; the Laser Slim Fluffy cleaner head, which has a soft brush bar to ensure hard floors aren’t damaged, is among the tools bundled with the vacuum cleaner. This features a class 1 laser diode (so it’s safe for humans and pets) mounted at an angle of 1.5 degrees and 7.2mm off the ground, which projects a beam of green light in front of the cleaning head to highlight microscopic dust particles that are invisible to the eye. I'm generally unbothered by this issue because I primarily rely on robot vacuums for my floors, and only use the V15 Detect (and my older V8) for touch-ups as well as cleaning my couch and car. If you plan to use the V15 Detect as your primary vacuum, this limitation may annoy you, especially if you have a large home. The maintenance of the Dyson is also very user-friendly. It’s well-thought-out and straightforward. Here, I measured the Dyson V15 Detect at 54.31AW on Eco, 99.53AW on Med, and a huge 280.93AW on Boost. That’s the highest score I’ve ever seen from a vacuum cleaner. To put the To put the scores into context, these are more in line with what I’d expect from a plug-in cleaner.Laser engineered for hard floors. Effectiveness of laser influenced by ambient light conditions, debris type and surface. The V15 weighs 3.1 kg, so it doesn’t stand out from the competition. The weight is one of the few categories in which the V15 is quite average. With the High Torque head, you also get Dyson’s DLS technology, which measures the resistance of the head 360 times per second and adjusts speed automatically as you change floor surface. Combined with the dust sensor, you’ll get the best automatic power mode. The battery itself is small, so it fits easily on a bedside table or the like. Can you leave Dyson on charge all the time?

There are three variants in the shop since the launch of the Dyson V15 on 1st of June 2021 in the UK: If you want the most advanced cordless vacuum cleaner, the Dyson V15 Detect is it. It’s extremely powerful, and its clever Auto mode and laser make it easier than ever to clean thoroughly. The V15 weighs about 2 kg and is therefore neither the lightest nor the smallest handheld vacuum cleaner. The filter gets clogged over time. Therefore, we recommend tapping out the filter every two weeks and washing it once a month. Can I Buy the Filters Later On, Too? To empty the V15 Detect's bin, you must remove any accessories attached to the vacuum, hold it over a trash can, point the nozzle downward, then firmly push the red bin release button down, taking care to avoid pressing the trigger while doing so. The bin will then slide down, its lid will open, and the contents will fall into the trash. When you empty the bin, a cloud of dust and debris comes out.

Why you can trust us

After every cleaning session, the graph shows how much dust you've removed. To reset the graph, charge the vacuum for 30 minutes or remove the battery for 15 seconds. Dyson says the graph can help you determine when you're done cleaning. While we can’t fault the suction of the V15 Detect - it collected all of the dirt and debris such as small stones and even a few leaves, along with human hair that had collected on the driver’s seat with ease, in handheld mode the vacuum is bulky. This meant we struggled to fully vacuum under the driver and passenger front seats, as well in the storage areas on the center console, which frequently attract dust and debris. The boost mode takes a lot of battery power. That’s why the runtime is relatively short. Since the auto mode (or medium mode) is usually sufficient even for coarse dirt, this won’t be a problem. How long does the dyson V15 take to charge? The new anti-tangle High Torque cleaner head features 56 polycarbonate teeth that prevent hair from tangling around the bristles. In testing, this attachment was also free of hair after a thorough pass over my carpeting. If you have long hair or live with someone who does, this anti-tangle attachment is a big plus.

If the dust container is full, you have to remove the suction tube first. Then hold the device vertically downwards over a dustbin. Push the red lever on the bottom downwards so that the flap pops open and the dirt falls out. With these standard tests, we aim to compare different vacuum cleaners and offer you the best possible advice. For this purpose, the attachment has a large roller and "felt pads", with which it can slide smoothly over the hard floor. It’s a good idea, but the implementation has room for development because it only catches large clusters of hair. Adjustable Opening SlotsOn the display, you get a real-time battery life display in minutes counting down. This adjusts based on the power mode you have set and the tools attached, so you can always see how much more cleaning time you have left.
