Dyson V15 Detect

Based on 215 comments across 4 communities
TL;DR
Owners overwhelmingly love the V15 Detect as a premium performer: strong suction, a genuinely useful dust-revealing laser, and tangle-free pet-hair pickup in a light, easy-to-grab cordless package. The recurring downside is durability, with reports of failing batteries, trigger or motor cutouts, and flimsy plastic parts cropping up around the two-year mark and often after the warranty ends. Most still feel it is worth the price, but treat it as a high-performing convenience tool rather than a buy-it-for-life vacuum.

76% of 215 verified owners recommend the Dyson V15 Detect.

after a short period of usage, I got extremely tired of those small wheels get tangled.

Got mine for $800ish. I would buy again for 1k if I had to. It’s that good.

I also love that it can increase power to compensate for the amount of debris it encounters. Feels like an engine rev.

Je peux te dire qu'avec mon aspirateur Dyson v15 Detect Absolute équipé de la Brosse Laser Slim Fluffy™ je suis largement dans le loisir.

I have the dyson v15 detect + and the hair always gets clogged

I have both the Dyson V15 Detect and Dyson V15 Detect + (aka Absolute) and both my vacuums sound like yours does.

I have a new Dyson v15 detect, the machine started having issues, Dyson customer service says it need replacing but they don’t have the part in stock! Horrible experience!

Reddit— neutral

I bought a Dyson V15 Detect because there's a difference between having the best of something that's more tedious to use and something that's not quite as good but much more convenient.

Bukvalno najbolji uredjaj za kucu koji smo ikad kupili.

Got a new one because I liked the new features on the v15 detect, it broke after just 2 weeks and I’m going on 2 months trying to get my replacement under warranty.

Reddit▲ recommend

this is the Dyson V15 Detect Total Clean and its great.

Reddit— neutral

this is a video of my nearly 2 year old Dyson V15 Detect Extra, model number SV47, using a Submarine head without issue. The suction remains off, the head spins - it works.

I have the V15 detect cordless and it's ability to vacuum up anything larger than dust is a joke. Don't buy their vacuums if you have children who drop stuff.

I own a Dyson V15 Detect and it is great. However, bare in mind the category has a pretty low peak.

Egyetlen hibája az az akksi, auto fokozatban kb 40 percet bír, booston meg kb 10-et, meg lassan is tölt szóval ha nagy a terület lehet nem árt venni még egy akksit.

Haben einen Dyson v15 Detect Absolute, kann ich absolut nicht empfehlen. Das Ding saugt prinzipiell gut, aber von der Haptik etc. ist das Schrott.

Reddit▲ recommend

I HIGHLY recommend Dyson. The hair screw attachment is incredible and doesn’t get hair caught on it, and I have four long haired cats.

Reddit— neutral

But...it works better than any other cordless vacuum I've used, and in my opinion cleans as well as a corded vacuum does. I paid a premium for no cord.

Reddit— neutral

The Dyson can get up all the long hair that the Miele has trouble with, and the Miele brings a level of vigor and endurance that the Dyson can't quite match. So yeah, to get carpet really clean, I vacuum twice.

I sent in my v15Detect Absolute two weeks ago - owned for a year and two months - it was manufacturer defect so it is covered by warranty.

The Dyson V15 is fantastic for hardwood, carpets and rugs, I use the stand up for furniture.

They're overpriced by a lot imo. Mine is a year old abs intermittently shuts off 5 or 6 times in arow before it will stay on long enough to vacuum without interruptions. They're cheap plastic, feels like cheap flimsy plastic

ik heb een Dyson V15 Detect en ik ben er ontzettend blij mee. Dankzij die detector zie je iedere zandkorrel liggen.

Reddit— neutral

I’ve used the Roomba and then gone over the floor again with the Dyson, and honestly, the Dyson only picked up a little bit of leftover debris.
