this is a great review , I have to say , everything looks pretty intuitive, yet it is very nice to hear from a person whom has the capability to tell a story without getting into the the tiring loopholes of telling long stories which become uninteresting once the y are on video. My sincere compliments.
I just got mine. Thank heavens for your video! I never would have figured out the parts, especially the clear plastic tool holder! I feel much better about my purchase. Will charge in the morning. I am so grateful to you. I was almost in tears trying to understand the device with no parts list or instructions.
Thats great to hear it was helpful for you. If Dyson did a better job in their instructions, i would be out of a job here, so long may their useless instructions continue. 😁
I’ve watched a lot of videos about this vacuum and this is by far the most helpful. I’m waiting for mine to arrive and now feel more confident about my purchase. The light weight and button on off switch were key features. I’ve saved this video so I can go back and watch it when it arrives. Perhaps I’ll add a paragraph later about my experience. Thank you so much for an excellent video.
@@lords-electrical I’ve been using it and have been very happy. The next size up has more power, but I’ve seen one and it would have been too heavy for me. You just have to treat it carefully, because like all of these vacuums, there’s a lot of breakable plastic.
Wow....thanks very much for that. Very clear, concise, and covered everything. Makes a change for someone to do that! A uk channel too! I only found you last week, and have only watched 3-4 videos, but they've all been excellent! 👏👏👏 I'm a technophobe, am disabled with chronic illnesses/pain, and am on my own, so finding new household items or tech is a nightmare. I also can't get to a shop to see things in the flesh. I've JUST spent a fortune on this model, and I'm really nervous about trying it! My health has been soooo bad these past few years, that the entire house is covered in a thick layer of dust. Getting out my old Meile causes a massive amount of pain and exhaustion, as it's soooo heavy. I've been needing a lightweight vacuum for years, but these cordless vacuums are sooo expensive, and are comparatively heavy, so I'm hoping that I will be able to use this one! I broke bones in my foot last week too, so haven't even got out of the box yet! I feel more confident to know what I'm doing now, so thanks so much. PS. If you are reading this, I would appreciate any advice about possibly buying a Liebherr 50/50 60cm wide fridge freezer. I've spent many hours researching, but can't find anything suitable, except possibly a Liebherr. It's more expensive than I had hoped, but if I managed to get a D rated one, hopefully, I'd get some of that money back via the lower electricity cost. My current FF is 290l net, with 200l fridge and 90l freezer. I need a bigger freezer area. I really need to get it via my local Eyronics shop (which I notice, is on your shirt), as they are very understanding about my disabilities RE: delivery and installation etc. They don't currently stock a suitable Liebherr, but I believe they can order in a specific item, if you request it. The Bosch 50/50 is no good, as one of the freezer drawers is waaay too big. Thanks
Thank goodness I found your video, it is very descriptive. I just received my V12 and it contained little to no instructions on usage of parts and components. What really parted my hair was the attachment clip. Until you demonstrated it I kept asking myself "what does this connect to?" & then I UA-camd & there you were. Again thank you for answering my inquiry. 😊
I got the V12 yesterday. Loving it and a great upgrade from my V7. Strangely, mine came in the traditional Dyson white box with full colour photo on the front.
@@junDOLON Still loving it. It gets used every day to give the wooden floor a quick once over, clean the fireplace, tidy around the backdoor. A general, all round decent bit of kit. Love the hardfloor laser attachment. Great for spotting all the dust…very addictive though and makes you a bit obsessive with the vacuuming 🤣👍🏻
I love this darling man's delightful and informative video. Watched dyson's before this and it was useless as they didn't even speak. I'm 73 and this is my first cordless vacuum. Blessings!
Thanks , Nice video with simple explanation for each attachment . I recently purchased a Dyson V12 Submarine with wet cleaning tools . Its the best Vacuum cleaner I have used .
I own the Dyson digital slim fluffy. I don’t feel that I’m pressing onto the trigger button when I’m using it. I feel that I’m just holding the handle at the same time when I’m pressing onto the trigger button. Hope that makes sense. 😊
Thanks for such an excellent modeling and clear instructions! I just received my Dyson V12 and I am excited about the many things it does. I just used it to do under bed dust cleaning and I am very satisfied with its performance. Just one remark I"d like to make; I suffer from fibromyalgia and despite the top part or motor is a little over 5 pounds, it's still a bit heavy for me.
Just bought this and love it but the hard floor head on mine doesn’t have an on/off switch and the light is on all the time when in use Thanks for the video very helpful
Many thanks for sharing, was very useful as this is my first Dyson which is still charging now 😊 I did get mine from John Lewis for £424 so quite pleased with that … will Update comments when I use it tomorrow, thanks again 😊
@@DavidG2P I find this quite the opposite of a stupid request as I have arthritic hands that do not allow me to use it without the on/off button. It is a game changer for me. Thank goodness Dyson isn’t influenced by thoughtless people.
Great video thanks we are looking at this purely because it’s not a trigger on/off button. I think it’s placement could have been better though. It could have been where the trigger was but clicked on and off . Great informative channel we have subscribed
Thank you very much. this video was very helpful. just today I bought V12 and I am happy with it. BTW the language that you asked about that ARABIC language :)
Thank you I bought yesterday I'm used to Miele cat and dog . Until I found the boost I was very disappointed . I then couldn't figure out why my charge was going off after 5 mins. So a big thank thank you for that . So my review really is I'm not a fan of the suction. The weight is great. Any advice on the suction and charge times would be greatly appreciated . Also can you take battery off and just charge it like your phone? Instead of having hoover on worktop. I will get round to putting bracket up if I keep it ! Last request can you review the Miele cordless thank you in advance 🦋
The V12 was really designed about being lightweight rather than having a great suction. Its a shame if you have to use boost all the time as the battery won't last that long. It will normally take around 3-4 hours to fully charge but if you use the wall bracket then put it in there to charge so it is full when you come to use it. Its easier to just plug the charger into the vacuum but in theory you should be able to take the battery off to charge if you wanted to.
want you to know Dysun doesn’t include the over and under tool. I didn’t want the dog hair tool but thought those other tools to were included as advertised. Very disappointed.
Is it still possible to get the up top tool? I'm in Ireland and just got the tools in the video here. I know different countries give different tools, but I'm just wondering if it's possible to get it as an extra. I'm in a wheelchair and it would be useful for me.
The up top tool hasn't been around for a while but there may be some companies with them. Also just check that it will fit the V12 if you manage to get one as some of the fitments are different on the V12 compared to other models
I'd like to get the little tool that bends. Mine does not have Absolute in its name. How do I get that tool? I feel they should have put the light on the main tool as well. I'm having issues with mine and can't get any assistance. :( If people call the Dyson customer service number, they will not believe how bad it is. It was like a joke or a comedy skit.
Hello, I am looking for a product with a long-lasting engine and strong traction. What is your bosch or philps recommendation? Is the BBS8214 model good? or is it the same as series 7
I have the V12 Slim and according to Dyson, the Absolute has 100% more suction. Is this claim actually true and would it be worth the upgrade because I want more suction for edge cleaning?
the only issue I would be concerned about is a button placement. You need another hand to turn the vacuum on and off. It's not handy if you ask me. This is still a small unit with limited battery power and leaving it on just because you can't reach for the button in some situation is not what I would prefer. I think Dyson should address this issue. Thanks for the video!
I just purchased the V12 from Amazon, I paid a good amount am I'm wondering why I didn't get two of the items that you had in your box. I didn't get the clear plastic to store my gadgets nor did I get the attachment that helps you not bend. The color of my pole is golden. I believe although I bought it in 2024, the model says 2021
Some of the time Dyson will keep the same model number but change the tools or accessories it comes with. I would go back to the original listing on Amazon to check to see which accessories are included with the vacuum.
The Absolute is heavier but supposedly has 100% more suction. I`m trying to decide on whether to upgrade because I prefer more suction over the weight issue.
@@ianmclean5541 thanks, That’s interesting. I looked at the website and it says in the details that they both have the same suction power and almost identical weight.
If you have the vacuum wall mounted then when you are not using it I would just keep it on there. That way it will be fully charged when you come to use it each time.
This one is NOT for carpets only hard floors, this switch switches on its laser which illuminates the dirt on the carpets😂! Love it but great video. And then you demonstrate it on a carpet!
Warning! No replacement battery for V12 seems to be available. I guess once the battery goes out you will have to replace the vacuum. This battery has been out of stock for at least a year. Did Dyson do this intentionally? We just purchased the vacuum but am disgusted because we cannot purchase a spare battery as Dyson recommends.
RTFM! as soon as you said you're not a fan of instructions you lost me as a viewer. "Hey a helpful book that tells me everything I might need to know about this product. Na, heck that I'll guess and fumble my way into figuring it out. I sure hope that I can guess all the different features otherwise I just paid for something that has capabilities that I will never use. Better still I am sure what I can guess the way to use properly and my actions won't reduce the longevity of this device!" Seriously, you're asking me to watch a demonstration of a product but you can't be bothered to be informed about the product you are demonstrating!?! what is the point?
You need to get out more. You’ve too much time on your hands if you’re sitting around reading vacuum cleaner instructions. Life’s short, don’t be such a boring old boomer.
I just bought one of these and Dyson instructions were terrible and customer service was even worse! I was on the phone for two hours and NO ONE knew anything! It was shockingly bad!
Some extraneous info on here is frustrating for the first time learner. Example, we don’t need a demonstration of where a switch used to be when they had one.
your explanations are so much better than dyson's instructions.

Most of the time the Dyson will be charging as its on the wall bracket. If it is not in the bracket, then it will need to be charged up on its own
