I was always "reluctant" to buy a Dyson because I thought it was grossly overpriced. I was wrong and I have been "converted"!!! I first decided to get it after it just came out and read about the "detect" function and then I saw a description of the brushes that come with it. I have 12 cats in this house and I have severe physical disabilities that give constant pain and make me unable to vacuum.
I have tried it myself when I bought it and was able to vacuum without ending up in a "painful heap" after a few minutes. I was able to do it for th...
Read moree whole duration of the battery, which is reasonably good and lasted around 90 minutes. I put it down to the fact that there was a lot of places where "full power" was needed. It picked up everything straight away!!! I used the anti-tangle comb, which you can also pull apart for deep cleaning, and it was a blessing. It stayed clean and usable for the whole time and picked up EVERYTHING!!! I did have to empty the vacuum itself several times, but it was a minor "inconvenience" as I was required to manually de-tangle the cat and human hair out of the brush of my older vacuum every few metres..... and .... YUCK!!! Emptying the vacuum is a breeze too and I loved how good and easy it is. I'd say that the laser brush is more for hard floors. The only thing I would advise, and I plan to do myself soon, is to get extra batteries so you can do your whole vacuuming in one go if you have a big house.....and/o lots of pets like me...... I have both. My daughter also said that it is hard to get under the car pedals to clean due to the fact that the hand-held body is a bit big for small spaces like that.Purchased in June 2021 at The Good Guys for $1,399.00.

The cleaner you must have. I thought my carpet, tiles and wood floors were clean until I used the Dyson V15. It picks up everything and when you use the detect green light accessory - OMG - it’s like lighting up a crime scene. The cleaner is lightweight, plenty of accessories for all cleaning requirements, easy to pull part and put back together. Picked up the cat hair very easily with no hair flying around when the cleaning head approached. The carpet texture has never looked so good.

Recently purchased one of these and it's incredible. It's quiet, powerful and takes no prisoners.
Used on wooden floor and carpet.
It has cleaned our carpets/rugs better than our wired Dyson Animal cylinder cleaner, it's brilliant.
The wooden floor again it's great, used the light-up attachment and it's scary how much is there, but great nothing is left once you've gone over it.

This unit works brilliant on hard floors and carpet.
The laser function shows up all the dust. The unit has much more power than previous units and is surprisingly quiet.

So far so good! The little green light lights up the floor and it's amazing what you can see!! This is a game changer!
We use the Dyson mainly on hard wood floors. The head unit is a little heavy but acceptable. I also use the V15 to to clean the car. Again, a bit bulky but does the job!

Absolutely blown away with the V15. We have always been Dyson lovers since the old faithful DC33 and V8 but this one is next level!! The LASER feature wow, I thought my floors were clean. I have one of the latest model Robot Vacs (Not Dyson) that automatically cleans twice a day. To test the V15 I used the laser head attachment straight after the robot cleaned and the amount of fine dust I could see with the laser had me in shock.
The motor is so quiet that I can vacuum when my daughter sleeps. It’s very light to hold, so no sore wrists and the...

I was buying v8 than changed the mind to v10, than v11 and ended to buy v15 latest. It awesome item like apple 12 max pro. Easy to cary super clean rugs & carpet, pet hair and dust on tiles with lezar lights.

This is a great device. I actually love using it and find myself finding excuses to use it.
As people living in a two storey unit, this offers the same suction as our Samsung corded, but is so much easier to move around the apartment. With three women, two cats and a dog living in the space, there is a lot of hair shedding. Most, if not all, is picked up by the vacuum and so far I have not had to untangle any hair from the rollers in the heads. We upgraded from DC44 pet. That is still a good machine, but I was having to de-tangle the rollers ...
Read moreafter every use. The same needs to be done with our corded Samsung with the pet hair roller. The tools are great. The soft fluffy head is very effective on our hard floors. The laser works. It is a little gimmicky, but does actually help show where dust etc is, especially under furniture. There really needs to be two lasers - one on each side of the head - for this function to really work as the side further from the side where the laser is mounted fades in normal room light. The detect function is awesome. We don't really pay any attention to the numbers displayed on the cool screen. This is a cool thing to have, but unless you really care about the fully facts, the amount of stuff in the onboard is what we really pay attention to and are amazed by. However, the way that the machine automatically adjusted suction doesn't get old. It is amazing tech. The stand which comes as part of the Absolute extra package in Australia is great. It looks good and is functional. The only thing that is lacking is a place for all the tools that come in the box, plus the ones you might like to buy. I ended up buying a third party adapter bracket and there I have all my tools in one place. It might not look so slim or pretty, but as attractive as the machine is, I would never have it as part of my decor especially in the limited space in our apartment. So, the extra bracket works. It would be good to have a genuine option available to purchase.

A User's First Look Into the World of Cordless Stick Vacuums
This is a review of the Dyson V15 Detect Total Clean from an individual who has never used or owned a cordless vacuum of any brand before (apart from a tiny extremely disappointing spot cleaning vac which I reviewed earlier).
I'm sure that vacuuming is one of the first things to pop up in your mind when somebody mentions the words "House Chores". Just the idea of pulling the vacuum cleaner out of the closet along with its attachments, untangling or unreeling power cord, followed by constant readjusting of the power cord behind you, before hav...
Read moreing to re-plug the cord into a different power point as you move on to the next room. These are the things which make an already arduous task of vacuuming your household even more unpleasant. And then there is the added task of transporting the corded conventional vacuum cleaner to use to vacuum your car. Coming from the world or corded vacuums, having purchased new ones to replace the old, and having the "excitement" of a new device wear off within a matter of days has been something that was used to. Let me state this now: a month in, the excitement of using this new vacuum, surprisingly has not diminished one bit. And I will list the reasons for this now.

The anti tangle head on this cleaner is fantastic. I have two girls and my old vacuum cleaner is constantly getting hair tangled up in the turbo head. This means periodically I have to pull the whole thing apart and remove hair. I have been using the V15 for a few weeks now and have not gotten a single hair, piece of string, thread or ribbon wrapped around the head. What a fantastic invention. I’ve uploaded a series of photos of a piece of dental floss to show how well it works.
The vacuum itself is pretty powerful, and very easy to empty and...
Read more clean. It comes with plenty of attachments. The hard floor attachment with the laser works well, but so does the regular head. The laser is an OCD person’s nightmare, but otherwise a bit of a gimick, as is the particle counter. It is quite a bit larger than the older Dyson stick vacs and this has pros and cons. On the pros side, it has a wider head, more power and larger dust container. On the cons side it is a little heavier (but still well balanced - my 5yo can use it) and takes a bit more storage space. Overall, this is probably not going to fully replace my regular vacuum cleaner due to the fact a plug in vac will always have a lot more suction and a vacuum cleaner with a hose will be able to get into smaller spaces, such as when cleaning the car. I will rarely use my regular vac now though. I think Dyson could consider offering a basic model without as many attachments and without the dust counter. This may capture more market share since this is an excellent vacuum even without those features, and many people may be put off by the price point. Overall, everyone who has used it loves it. It’s a fantastic piece of engineering.

Details
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.
