Dyson V15 Detect

My V11 died after 2 years; battery life was not the issue. It was the points of connection of the base to the main stick; the floor head (even after buying a new floor attachment) couldn’t work. I could not justify on buying an even more expensive Dyson.

I'm going on +3 trouble-free years with my V15. Ended up giving away my Hoover upright vacuum because of the flexibility and cleaning ability of the Dyson. I added additional accessories to help clean floor/ceiling and my vehicles. I have a plug in computer air blower that helps clean the fine particles when servicing. My wish list would be an On/Off switch and the option to add a shoulder strap. I sometimes need both hands to dust move Knick/knacks on a shelf or doing dusty blinds (I have the hose attachment).

I've had my V15 for over 3 trouble-free years. [...]

I think an important part was perhaps missing from the review. [...] Hair and other things get tangled in them and it is very difficult to clean those small wheels/drums. Ease of movement on the floor has been diminished compared to first days significantly. It is way more work to vacuum now. Even after spending an hour to clean them they don't roll as smoothly and freely anymore.

My V15 detect is about a year old and I have only 2-3 times ran out of battery. [...] I would also recommend the optional free-standing charger. [...]

[...] I’ve also had mine for 2 years - no battery problems, no loss of suction. I was one of those people that had an earlier cordless Dyson and said never again because of the battery. [...]

[...] But I got the V15 a few years ago. [...] The battery was fine, still worked with the laser head. [...] Tried to order replacement head on Dyson website and Amazon. [...] Eventually got tired of not being able to vacuum my carpet and got a 'compatible' similar looking cheap head online. [...] But years later I still cant seem to find the replacement Dyson model vacuum head online anywhere. The cheap part works ok but obviously not as good and it swivels wildly. [...]

I just got mine yesterday. I love the green laser on hardwood BUT I do not like the fact that its so hard to push on carpet. Using the anti tangle motor bar, switch moved to minus and on eco mode, its still hard to push and even stalls out AND i just got it yesterday. I have already talked to Dyson and they are sending me a new main body and cyclone and I hope this fixes it but kind of think it will not and this is just how it works. I was looking for one nice cordless vacuum I could use on my hardwood and my large rugs that wouldn't be so hard to push. I've thought about returning it and getting the v12 slim because it is lighter weight, but it's anti tangle bar does not have the slider adjustment setting so not sure if it would work worse on rugs or not, and by worse I mean harder to push. I really don't care if it doesn't pick up as much as the v15, I just want to be easier to push on carpet. Any advice??

[...] The trigger being the biggest one. I was able to buy a plastic lock (on Amazon) that clips on and locks the trigger on or off which works great! I found that whole holding the trigger super hard on my hand. [...]

We’ve had ours for a year and a half and it’s definitely losing suction. Yes, I do keep it clean. Have to use it on turbo just to get average suck.

[...] and also appreciate that you're still a fan of the Dyson two years later. [...]

I got mine 2 years ago too! I love it, I have the outsize one and got the laser head separately lol 😂

I bought this last year because of u. [...] I live love love my dyson v15. [...]

I actually bought the V11, but refurbished one to save money, a few weeks after your initial video 2 years ago. [...] It was def worth every penny, but yeah, I do agree the push trigger is the most annoying part. [...]

[...] So after ruminating I bought a Dyson v15 Detect. [...]

I vacuum at night with the lights out too! It does make vacuuming fun. I vacuum nearly every day now and ENJOY it. I used to maybe vacuum once a month with my traditional vacuum cleaner or my V6.

The Dyson V15 Detect is the first Dyson product I've owned and I'm blown away by it's effectiveness. I have a new home with lots of hard surfaces and even though they 'look clean' this unit blows me away with what it sucks up. And vacuuming in the dark with that light power head is SO MUCH FUN 😊

I just got the dyson v15 detect 3 weeks ago i didn't get that extra battery but i still love it i finally got it for my bday im so happy it was either the v15 or the shark power detect

I just bought this dyson and it only came with one battery. [...]

I bought a Dyson V15 detect. [...]

I just bought the V15 a few weeks ago, i am very happy with it and i also found this video really helpful, especially the filter clean demonstration. Thanks for this!

I just bought this Vacuum Cleaner & what i did was get a Brush to Clean the Filter. Other than having to hold down the Trigger, I have had no problems with this Vacuum. I like the Crevice Tool to clean where the Floor Meets the Baseboard & get to the Corners.

I have the v15 detect submarine so after vacuuming I use it to mop. I live in a large 4 bedroom home. I’ve never run out of battery.

Also a design defect to me is, it plugs Easy! Up to the body of the canister Unless I have an old fashioned coat hanger… I’m stuck

I just got my V15 yesterday. I love it! Also, the V15 has full HEPA filtration, not just the Gen5. The aqua filter housing on the Gen5 was mostly a way to distinguish them visually.

I got one on sale for 600. [...]

YESSS!! I turn the lights off to use the light also! I used to have to turn all the lights on & it would get so hot in my house & I would hate it & end up not doing anything else after I vacuumed😅 I don't have that excuse anymore & tbh I'm not mad about it😂😂

I’m afraid the run time is only 60 minutes when on Eco. If one has carpets like me, it will only run for 17 - 20 minutes with the machine on Auto/medium and you have carpet and use the motorized brush head.

I LOVE my V15, and I have tried a ton of vacuums. It’s the best!

[...] But mine did not come with an extra battery! [...]

Yes, the laser light is everything you said. I couldn’t believe how filthy my floors were, when I first used the V15 because I had just used the robot, earlier and had mopped, the day before. I have no regrets purchasing this vacuum.

I bought mine because of you and is one of the things I love the most in my house. I hate cleaning 😅

I just got the Dyson v15 Detect extra but it didn't come with extra battery 😒 nevertheless I love it!!!

Bought it yesterday and was very excited especially because the hair detangler but just tried it and it sucked up all my throw rugs and carpets. Any tips on that or should I return it for something lighter and with less suction? Thanks

I got it today, and hands down, it's the best vacuum cleaner I've ever used. However, another frustrating con is that I can't set a default cleaning mode. I'd prefer to make eco mode as default, but it automatically switches to Auto after I've stopped using it.

Had many Dyson vac over time, just brought V15 Submarine. Would love to know your thoughts on this floor washing attachment. I always have trouble putting it together after cleaning it.

I have the outsize and i have had clog trouble where dirt enters the canister, but like you said it operator. 😂 Also have trouble disassembly canester for cleaning. But maybe it just with the usa model.

I have the Dyson v15 and I love it, however has anyone else had issues with the LCD button not working, the vacuum randomly cutting off on full charge, as well as the “detect” feature where the suction adjusts depending on how much dirt it detects not working?

I bought one yesterday, but didn’t get all those attachments.

Weird. My V15 had only the two large attachments plus the narrow one in double-use.

[...] Another con for me is that it doesn’t stand on its own if you want to move something to the side while vacuuming.
