Love your site! So helpful. After your reviews, I think the Outsize Plus would meet my needs; however, how difficult is it to hold down the switch in order for it to work? I'm active, but wonder if that feature would be troublesome?
I have the V8 and I absolutely love it. It’s light and the running time on one charge is sufficient. I’m 76 and I run out of energy before my Dyson does. I would assume the larger ones are heavier, so I’m very satisfied with mine and I see no trouble in holding down the handle while vacuuming. I haven’t used my corded vac in years and the central vac the builder installed I haven’t used in 10 years because I was always tripping over that darn cumbersome hose - it was dangerous😀
Had the V8 for 3yrs now. Not a single issue. The V8 is plenty for most folks. ProTip - Amazon has Dyson battery adapters for several LiIon tool line batteries. Dewalt20, M18, Kobalt24, etc.
I have a Dyson corded and a Dyson cordless and love both. We have 3 cats, one who sheds a small kitten worth of fur seasonally, and the cordless is handy to keep his favorite spots clean, plus general clean up in the kitchen and entry. The big Dyson is necessary for keeping the mostly carpeted house clean. I had to replace my cordless Dyson a few years ago due to a bad connection somewhere.
I started with a Dyson V11 and everyone around me had a v8, telling me the vacuum was a disappointment. I got the Dyson V11 as a Christmas gift and my first thought was.. oh.. it's going to be shitty. But holyshit. The Dyson V11 is the real deal. I would recommend the V11 if you are going to spent much on a vacuum cleaner anyway.
I just returned my V11 animal+ that I got from costco in early 2020 (its now feb 2023) because of the 2 major defects it had completely killing it, luckily with costco's awesome returns we got $484 back of the $550 or so we spent. What first went wrong was the battery coming loose (we never tried taking it off ever) and making the machine cut in and out, then around 2022 the trigger broke, I tried to fix it but that went absolutely awful as the screws were coming out (and still going in, mind you we never touched them also) at 45° angles. I did some research that said the V10 and V11 were some very poorly built vacuums but hopefully this new V15 platform has no other ways of being defective (the trigger has been redesigned and so has the battery.)
Coming from a heavyweight Hoover upright that is on its last legs, I'm really looking forward to switching to a cordless.The only thing that gives me pause about the Dysons is that they all are bagless. I'm allergic to dust and dust mites, and I never want to just dump a bin of dust and debris, and hope that I close the lid on the trash fast enough. I want it to remain contained at all times.
Would you please do a video on how to clean a Dyson vac? I've got a V11 Animal. While I have done the regular dust cup emptying and filter cleaning, I'm not sure how best to clean the clear plastic brush head cover or the plastic dust cup cover. Also, got any suggestions on how best to separate the parts from the long main stick tube thing? I always have difficulty trying to pull it apart no matter how much I push in the buttons that a there for that purpose. It's stuck and takes a lot of time and effort. I've actually gotten my finger pinched.
We use a Dyson V11, and I'm mostly happy with it. I like the laser on the V15 detect and I want some of the other features, but I haven't spent the money yet. Hey Dyson... make a V16 detect that has the power-on button instead of a trigger to pull, and at that point I will upgrade from the V11 (even though the V11 still works fine). The "detect" is their top of the line and it's expensive, but if I can get a power-on button plus the laser plus the anti-tangling features... yeah, I'd upgrade to that immediately.
We have owned and still own several Dyson products. I can’t explain the level of frustration we are experience with Dyson Support in resolving a problem with our V12. In less than a year the Motorbar cleaner head is inoperable and doesn’t work. So far we have been sent two replacement cleaner heads. Both were the wrong heads. It’s has been such a time consuming experience, with any resolution in sight. We are looking into unloading and selling all of our Dyson purchases and will tell everyone we know to reconsider their own purchases.
Thank you!!! Finally the video that I was looking for!! I had no idea why on earth there are a billion vacuums from Dyson but thank you this helped so much in making decisions ❤
This is so timely! We were just talking about getting a Dyson today. We have a very old Miele canister vac. It still works great but needs new attachments which are so expensive. And the cord drives me nuts.
We live in a 3100 sq.ft home and use Miele's top line for main vacuum. We avoid our built-in vac as the hose is huge and too cumbersome We're looking for something that helps with the constant, daily quick cleanups; couch crumbs, kitty litter and other bits between the kitchen mud room - but nothing too extensive. It sounds like we'd need to go with the larger model just to get the better suction. It's strange they don't have demand for the better/higher suction but in the v8 form factor (?)
So glad you mentioned the on/off button on the V12. I didn’t realize the other Dyson’s had triggers for power. I have arthritis and holding the trigger would hurt. Decision on which Dyson model is easy now:) Thanks!
My wife insisted on having a Dyson cordless vacuum like her sister's. However, her sister bought her Dyson years ago. The current reviews for Dyson cordless vacs are very disappointing. We ended up buying a Roomba and couldn't be happier. Mainly because we don't have to vacuum the floor anymore. Rufus the robot cleans the floor. All we have to do is hit the corners with the $60 vacuum.
I used to have a Dyson ball vacuum but it sadly died many years ago, my parents have a v8 which I love but I’ve been putting up with the useless hoover that my landlord provided (I might as well hoover the floor by sucking on a straw). Ordered my v12 detect today which should arrive tomorrow 🥳
One of my client has a dyson v8. I was so impressed with it I want one too but I don’t have the big budget for it. So I went with the Shark ultralight Stratos. Mainly for it’s no hair wrap advertisement. Greatly disappointed when it come to hair on the roller and the air. Cause I’m quite short, the air hit my face quite often. However the corded shark is lighter than the dyson v8.
Hi, great video but not sure if Dyson cordless is the answer yet. What do you recommend for a 3200 sq foot 5 bedroom. Has carpet and hardwood floors throughout, even mix I’d say.
Why not recommend the V10 instead of the V8 as the entry level? The suction power and battery life are superior to the V8, and actually rival the V12, and it has launched quite a few years ago to have a significant price drop as well.
I have two Dyson vacuums and have had others. One is a ball floor model. It picks up so much dust through broadloom. I use the V8 for hardwood, tile, and oriental rugs. Both are fantastic. It looks like the lasers are worth exploring. Dyson vacuums never set off my air purifiers; that's how good the filters are. However, for a quick job I use the Fuller carpet sweeper and the air purifier fan kicks into a higher gear briefly to clean the air of dust.
I’m currently in the market for a new cordless Dyson and your comparison was extremely helpful! Thank you! I will now feel more confident about my choice.
Get an LG or Samsung from Costco instead, I clean houses and Dysons are one of the worst vacuums that I have experienced with I almost never put comments on UA-cam but I have a strong feeling about this😂
@@leticiaruiz2491 Samsung Electronics are just amazing - Best vacuum cleaner is still my Henry 20 years still going strong, picking up concrete, water, dust ! God knows what motor they put in them !
Thank you so much for taking the time to explain these dyson handhelds…I love my lightweight Oreck uprights and agree with you that dragging the canisters around is totally inconvenient.( I have Miele canisters and mostly get out for cleaning tight spaces, and sofas etc)…we are moving into a newly built large home soon and I plan to get at least 1 dyson handheld…so my choice of often used vacs is light and easy!
I also have a Miele canister vac and made the mistake of getting the Shark stick vac. I should have spent a bit more on the Dyson. I Love my canister because it is a workhorse but I simply hate the short cord!
I have the Dyson DC 33 Upright vacuum, which is needed for my thicker carpet in the bedrooms and upstairs hallway. I have a stick vacuum by Moosoo for my downstairs, which is laminate flooring. Love them both!
I’m confused bec when I put in my warranty it say I have and 11 animal but it come wit all the new features that a torque has click battery and the lcd screen and it jus says In writing dyson 11 it doesn’t say torque animal or anything
I bought a Dyson v11 from Costco on 2/2020; loved it until it was getting finicky..floor roller stopped spinning, cleaned everything out, took it apart, had 2 vacuum repair stores look at..they said the design of the canister and how the connectivity between the attachments , the stick, and the main unit has major engineering issues.. I’m on the fence of the plain cost of $750 for a vacuum that may stop working right after the warranty expires.. Also their customer service for returning your calls is not good either. It’s tempting to give the Dyson another try, but $750 for maybe 2 years of service is something I’m very Leary of.
I was about to buy one but reading these comments about bad customer service, made me change my opinion and I rather buy something else. Customer service is very important for me.
Wish I could give you 2 thumbs up. First time on your channel and am very impressed with your review. Means more to me coming from a professional cleaner. Wife wants to go cordless and after watching you suck up a ribbon with zero issues I was sold instantly... cause im the one who has to deal with cleaning the rollers!!! 😁 It's worth the money to not have to do this. One critique I have would be to offer some idea of the longevity of these cordless vacs. We have owned multiple corded dysons. One has lasted over 15 years. If I'm shelling out $$$ I want to know it will last for years to come.
I would have been a great sales person for Dyson six years ago when they first came out. I actually own 3 Dyson‘s presently, but and that’s a big BUT, I will not buy another Dyson again due to failures that are constant
We weren't sure about the V12 or V15. We are a large house with all hardwood floors with a few placed carpets. We have been using an Electrolux Epic 8000 canister vacuum for almost 20 years, and it still works great, but my wife used the V8 at someone's house and loves it. She is sick of carrying the Epic upstairs with hoses and attachments. We purchased the V12 and V15 to try out. The lighter weight of the V12 and the push button might be best, but we will see. Thanks
I’m in the same boat. I got a v15, going to try it out and exchange for v12 if I feel the weight or power trigger button gets me fatigued. Have you guys decided which one to keep ?
@@sivalingamsomasundaram5049You guys make it sound like you can return these after you try it for a while - is this true? I am so hesitant to spend the money, I always have "buyers remorse" after buying vacuums.
Hi Melissa, i have a V8 dyson vac and love it ! Can you please do a video on how to clean them especially the clear plastic head .. Thank you so much....
I know it can seem insane to spend this much money on a vacuum cleaner, but honestly it's worth it because I would never clean anywhere close to as much with a poorly designed vacuum or cord system. The ease of use (great tools, wall charger, easy maintenance, hands-free cleaning) makes me use it almost on a daily basis. So yes, it's worth the money because it's being used probably 50x as much as cheap products.
I have been waiting to upgrade my daily Dyson vac... It is so old, I think it's a gen 5 or less. It strains my hand to keep it running and it lasts about 10 minutes, so I am running through the house to get it clean! lol AKA it is time to finally upgrade. I wish your channel could get a discount code from Dyson!
Thank you for this :) I have a “beginner” Dyson I got this March via TSC … love it however I’m in an older, three level home … planning to purchase a 2nd one so I’m not always on the wrong level when the urge to grab it and clean hits lol 😆
5 years ago I was so jealous of everyone's Dyson but it was so expensive. I did so much research trying to justify the purchase. I ended up spending almost twice as much and bought a Miele instead. I regret nothing.
I love all my Dyson products HOWEVER they are not a nice company to deal with. As a previous customer they ran a special for a certain % off, so I placed and order and my coupon code was accepted. When it came time to pay the % did not come off. I called the next business day and was told to give it time to adjust. After 6-8 weeks and many phone calls they said they will not honor the % off, that my merch was not part of the sale BUT IT WAS! Watch out for the 'bait and switch' with this company.
Agreed. Their company and customer service is terrible! Dropped my calls, couldn't do anything for me, wouldn't give me a credit for a broken defective $950 top of the line product we purchased from them.
@@violetsinclairerealtor They know they have a good product but Shark is now stepping it up so I think I'm done with them except for future batteries. They are the worst when it comes to customer service.
i am trying to decide between the V12 / V15 / GEN 5 / outsize plus.......have a 2500 sq ft house ..mostly hardwood floors except one room is carpeted then a few area rugs.......like the thought of being able to clean upper corners of the walls.....here in Canada the V12 is 899 V15 is 999 and the Gen 5 is 1199 and the Outsize plus is 1249......all in Canadian funds....which do you think we would be happy with ? we are 58 years old and bodies are getting old and sore...lol..plus i would want to have 2 batteries which is 145 to 199 each... thx cheers
I loved my Dyson cordless vacuum. I used it all the time. However the company is awful to deal with. When the battery needed replacing I kept being told the battery replacements were on back order. I was put on an email list to let me know when they were back in stock. I would get an email they were back in stock at 3a.m....when I clicked the link to buy it when I was awake at 6a.m . It would be sold out. This happened numerous times. I kept calling. Their solution was to put me on an email list again. After numerous times trying to order...I finally bought a knock off battery which I use now and it works great. When I needed a second vacuum for another area of my house I decided NOT to get a dyson. I need better customer service than they offer. I bought a hoover and have not had a problem.
My advice to everybody about to make the battery last longer: NEVER charge the battery till 100%. Watch 3 charging indicator lights what mean it 75% full and stop charging. Up to 90% full is OK, but you cannot see when it's 90%. And NEVER discharge the battery to 0%. Try to keep to 15-20% and charge again. That's when the battery will not need to be replaced much longer. The manufacturers will not tell consumers about that fact because they want to make more money on you. And it's not only about Dyson battery, it's about any rechargeable battery - in laptop, cell phone.... etc, all batteries.........
@@romualdramos1907 My problem was not about a battery charge, but rather their poor customer service. My battery actually lasted a long time, but when it needed replacing I got the run around. I'm not sure how they think people can get by without a vacuum. It was months of me calling and emailing and still nothing. So I had to buy another vacuum. Then I got the knock off battery for my Dyson. I have had a knock off battery for over a year now and it works great.
I agree about Miele, never heard of Sebo, my most favorite is a Rainbow, best vacuum ever, I’ve never liked anything Dyson, way overpriced, Rainbow is expensive but for what all it does, its well worth it, I’ve had my Rainbow since 1998, that Dyson is so bad for people who have carpal tunnel, arthritis, the handle kills my hand
Whenever you see a channel push a brand, simply open up the description box and look at the hashtags. You'll most likely find something like this: #Sponsored
I’ve used both Dyson & Rainbow. Prefer Dyson but the Rainbow was a mid 80’s machine. Have used Dyson standard upright vacs since soon after they hit market. You get what you pay for and if you have a lot of carpet and fur/hair to deal with some of the brands like Shark that cost less just don’t last long. Will have to check the 2 brands mentioned here as I’ve not heard of
Hello Mam, what is a good vacuum that will help me with High Pile, Low Pile carpet, Hardwood floors, Car cleaning. I was thinking to buy one product that can handle and have accessories for all these 4 tasks. Corded is fine and budget not constraint. I am tired of getting all the cheap ones on Amazon and want to get a real one. Please advise when you get a chance.
Hi, looking at getting a new dyson v15 detect absolute however looking at re- carpeting our house with a cut pile wool carpet- I have heard some vacuums are to hard on wool - just wondering what your experience or other peoples experience have been with this thx 😊
Hello! I own a Dyson V11 Absolute+. I was wondering if the antitangle head from the V15 would fit mine, or if there is something similar? Have a lot of issues with tangling on my "standard vacuum head" component. Thanks!
Hi Melissa, I am getting older and don’t have the same energy for cleaning. I have a Rainbow vaccum cleaner and an old lady vap steam cleaner, they are amazing but big and heavy machines so I am looking for light, easy to work with but powerful machines to clean, especially my kitchen. Could you please recommend a tile/ marble/ hardwood light and compact steam cleaner and vaccum cleaner. If possible not as expensive as the Dyson V 15 please, thanks a lot!
We bought the V10 after using the V8 for several years. The V8 is still my favorite. Taking the long rod off and using just the plain nozzle makes it so useful cleaning other tools… like my Roomba. The V10 canister makes it too long to be used in this way.
I like you and your channel, but I prefer a vacuum with the bulk of the weight on the floor. (Of course, a central vacuum system built into the walls is my favorite.)
I've owned a Dyson. I loved the suction and that it is cordless. What I don't understand is why they put that cheap plastic pull-down lever to empty the canisters. It broke twice. I pulled down the lever and the whole damn canister fell into the trash can. They have never addressed this issue. For that reason, I will not purchase another one. Lastly the battery died on my Dyson in 6 months fortunately for me it was still under warranty. For reference-I have the V11, I owned it for 8 months before the canister lever broke. I used this Dyson once daily to clean my entire first floor(1000sq feet combination of hard wood, porcelain tile, and area rugs). I have three cats so there is always cat hair.
I prefer a sled vacuum cleaner with power cord and bag. Not fancy but best performance and good for many years. Bag replacement is fast and clean without having to clean the whole system. No need to manage battery replacement and charging stations if you have a power outlet in every room.
Just a heads up Dyson doesnt make the best/most powerful vacuum. Few years ago i tested about 5 vacuums just going over a rental apartment living room. The best one hands down and this was after going over the same carpet i had gone over 4 times before with misc vacuum brands including a Dyson... Bissel, literally a day after just using the Dyson, had vacuumed so much deeper into the carpet i filled up the canister about 3 times. I honestly couldn't believe how much dust had come out
Do you know what voltage does the charger use? I would like to know if I can still use it if I move abroad, unfortunately I can’t find this information anywhere in the dyson webpage and nobody seems to be able to help… thanks!!
I would like to know how does it do with pet odors ? My wife doesn’t want to spend that kind of money for a v15 and ruin it due to pet odors have over taken most all our vacuums
Hi Melissa I am planning to buy a good vacuum for my new townhouse( with carpet and wooden floor). Can you advise is robotic vacuum a good option or dyson cordless?? Let me know your view about robotic vacuum. Thank you:)
Why didn't you feature the new Dyson Ball Animal 3? Plenty of people still want a corded upright, and Dysons new upright and really good and a very good improvement over the Animal 2
Would you be willing to do a review on the Ryobi ONE+ HP 18V Brushless Cordless Pet Stick Vac with Dual-Roller Bar stick vac? It looks like a neat vac for much less than the dysons. It also has the fluffy head built into the vacuum head so you don’t have to change heads from carpets to floors.
Could you please comment on what to do about pet hair in the little wheels that don’t come off? That’s the fatal flaw with my V15 that I absolutely love otherwise.
Awesome and informative video. we would love to have one in for repair ( they hardly break so we don't see too many ) from our experience as a Dyson repair shop they are reliable, powerful and efficient vacuums as long as they are serviced / maintained especially the filters and dust bin, the batteries eventually grow weaker so be sure to read up on the charge cycles for optimal battery life. The warranty is also something amazing as they have covered a lot free of charge to our customers . if one comes in we will post a video about general maintenance for them
Thank you for this video. I didn’t know which Dyson to get. I have had a Dyson for 18 years. I will never not have a Dyson. My 1k new sweeper comes in 2 days. I can’t wait. Hopefully the outsize plus is awesom!!

Do you know what the difference is between Dyson v15 and v15 (Gen 2022) ?? I just bought the v15 which is awesome... I'm just curious . Thanks
They added a push stop start button, but customers weren't asking for that. We have been asking for a lockable trigger 🙄 lol
I have the Dyson DC 33 Upright vacuum, which is needed for my thicker carpet in the bedrooms and upstairs hallway. I have a stick vacuum by Moosoo for my downstairs, which is laminate flooring. Love them both!
Is the Outsize plus the same as V11 outsize?
I’m confused bec when I put in my warranty it say I have and 11 animal but it come wit all the new features that a torque has click battery and the lcd screen and it jus says In writing dyson 11 it doesn’t say torque animal or anything
I bought a Dyson v11 from Costco on 2/2020; loved it until it was getting finicky..floor roller stopped spinning, cleaned everything out, took it apart, had 2 vacuum repair stores look at..they said the design of the canister and how the connectivity between the attachments , the stick, and the main unit has major engineering issues.. I’m on the fence of the plain cost of $750 for a vacuum that may stop working right after the warranty expires.. Also their customer service for returning your calls is not good either. It’s tempting to give the Dyson another try, but $750 for maybe 2 years of service is something I’m very Leary of.
Why didn’t you just return it to Costco?
I am still rockin the V6. Changed the battery once and try to keep it clean.
That's awesome!
I was about to buy one but reading these comments about bad customer service, made me change my opinion and I rather buy something else. Customer service is very important for me.
Then buy it at Costco and return it, if there is a problem
I agree with Sarah about buying and returning at Costco
Wish I could give you 2 thumbs up. First time on your channel and am very impressed with your review. Means more to me coming from a professional cleaner. Wife wants to go cordless and after watching you suck up a ribbon with zero issues I was sold instantly... cause im the one who has to deal with cleaning the rollers!!! 😁 It's worth the money to not have to do this. One critique I have would be to offer some idea of the longevity of these cordless vacs. We have owned multiple corded dysons. One has lasted over 15 years. If I'm shelling out $$$ I want to know it will last for years to come.
IRobot vac with a v8 backup. Thanks for the review because I was looking at upgrading our v8
I love my Cordless Dysons i have 2 of them ive had my V6 since 2019 and my V10 since 2020 use both daily they are still going strong!
When growing up we had a FILTER QUEEN CANISTER vacuum
I love cleaning w that.
Growing up.
So much fun then.
Is the V12 the only one with a button? I think I will have a problem holding the trigger on the other models but I think the v12 might be too small
I would have been a great sales person for Dyson six years ago when they first came out. I actually own 3 Dyson‘s presently, but and that’s a big BUT, I will not buy another Dyson again due to failures that are constant
We weren't sure about the V12 or V15. We are a large house with all hardwood floors with a few placed carpets. We have been using an Electrolux Epic 8000 canister vacuum for almost 20 years, and it still works great, but my wife used the V8 at someone's house and loves it. She is sick of carrying the Epic upstairs with hoses and attachments. We purchased the V12 and V15 to try out. The lighter weight of the V12 and the push button might be best, but we will see. Thanks
Get it . Also the v10 is a great one for a first time cordless user
Any update?
@@y0ungDuB not yet
I’m in the same boat. I got a v15, going to try it out and exchange for v12 if I feel the weight or power trigger button gets me fatigued. Have you guys decided which one to keep ?
@@sivalingamsomasundaram5049You guys make it sound like you can return these after you try it for a while - is this true? I am so hesitant to spend the money, I always have "buyers remorse" after buying vacuums.
Hi, is v8 absolute or regular v8 ( latest technology) which one will be best choice for 1000 sqt feet room. Tia
Are Dyson V8 animal and the Dyson V8 Origin the same?
Hi Melissa, i have a V8 dyson vac and love it ! Can you please do a video on how to clean them especially the clear plastic head .. Thank you so much....
I know it can seem insane to spend this much money on a vacuum cleaner, but honestly it's worth it because I would never clean anywhere close to as much with a poorly designed vacuum or cord system. The ease of use (great tools, wall charger, easy maintenance, hands-free cleaning) makes me use it almost on a daily basis. So yes, it's worth the money because it's being used probably 50x as much as cheap products.
Correct 🤟
I have been waiting to upgrade my daily Dyson vac... It is so old, I think it's a gen 5 or less. It strains my hand to keep it running and it lasts about 10 minutes, so I am running through the house to get it clean! lol AKA it is time to finally upgrade. I wish your channel could get a discount code from Dyson!
Thank you for this :) I have a “beginner” Dyson I got this March via TSC … love it however I’m in an older, three level home … planning to purchase a 2nd one so I’m not always on the wrong level when the urge to grab it and clean hits lol 😆
I would hate a push button start. I love holding down the trigger. I hope they always offer both.
5 years ago I was so jealous of everyone's Dyson but it was so expensive. I did so much research trying to justify the purchase.
I ended up spending almost twice as much and bought a Miele instead. I regret nothing.
That Dyson probably would’ve fell apart by now Knowing the build quality on Dyson is no good these days
My Dyson V15 literally shat itself today. And it’s only 15 months old, won’t be buying another one.
I love all my Dyson products HOWEVER they are not a nice company to deal with. As a previous customer they ran a special for a certain % off, so I placed and order and my coupon code was accepted. When it came time to pay the % did not come off. I called the next business day and was told to give it time to adjust. After 6-8 weeks and many phone calls they said they will not honor the % off, that my merch was not part of the sale BUT IT WAS! Watch out for the 'bait and switch' with this company.
I would have told them I was sending them back! Like I said in my post I had to fight with them any time I dealt with them!
Agreed. Their company and customer service is terrible! Dropped my calls, couldn't do anything for me, wouldn't give me a credit for a broken defective $950 top of the line product we purchased from them.
@@violetsinclairerealtor They know they have a good product but Shark is now stepping it up so I think I'm done with them except for future batteries. They are the worst when it comes to customer service.
i am trying to decide between the V12 / V15 / GEN 5 / outsize plus.......have a 2500 sq ft house ..mostly hardwood floors except one room is carpeted then a few area rugs.......like the thought of being able to clean upper corners of the walls.....here in Canada the V12 is 899 V15 is 999 and the Gen 5 is 1199 and the Outsize plus is 1249......all in Canadian funds....which do you think we would be happy with ? we are 58 years old and bodies are getting old and sore...lol..plus i would want to have 2 batteries which is 145 to 199 each... thx cheers
Which Dyson
I loved my Dyson cordless vacuum. I used it all the time. However the company is awful to deal with. When the battery needed replacing I kept being told the battery replacements were on back order. I was put on an email list to let me know when they were back in stock. I would get an email they were back in stock at 3a.m....when I clicked the link to buy it when I was awake at 6a.m . It would be sold out. This happened numerous times. I kept calling. Their solution was to put me on an email list again. After numerous times trying to order...I finally bought a knock off battery which I use now and it works great. When I needed a second vacuum for another area of my house I decided NOT to get a dyson. I need better customer service than they offer. I bought a hoover and have not had a problem.
My advice to everybody about to make the battery last longer: NEVER charge the battery till 100%. Watch 3 charging indicator lights what mean it 75% full and stop charging. Up to 90% full is OK, but you cannot see when it's 90%. And NEVER discharge the battery to 0%. Try to keep to 15-20% and charge again.
That's when the battery will not need to be replaced much longer.
The manufacturers will not tell consumers about that fact because they want to make more money on you.
And it's not only about Dyson battery, it's about any rechargeable battery - in laptop, cell phone.... etc, all batteries.........
@@romualdramos1907 My problem was not about a battery charge, but rather their poor customer service. My battery actually lasted a long time, but when it needed replacing I got the run around. I'm not sure how they think people can get by without a vacuum. It was months of me calling and emailing and still nothing. So I had to buy another vacuum. Then I got the knock off battery for my Dyson. I have had a knock off battery for over a year now and it works great.
What about cleaning very narrow spaces like furniture without legs?
I have a wooden floor..sand, dust and .long hair loss...hairs everywhere..small appartement..which one would you recommend?
How do you have plants on the floor with cats????? How can I get there??
Are the Dyson stick vac parts interchangeable? Like buying a V11 absolute & adding an outsize motor head?
What’s the difference in suction powe between v15 and v12
What's with the Dyson fetish? There are better vacuums out there like Miele and Sebo.
I agree about Miele, never heard of Sebo, my most favorite is a Rainbow, best vacuum ever, I’ve never liked anything Dyson, way overpriced, Rainbow is expensive but for what all it does, its well worth it, I’ve had my Rainbow since 1998, that Dyson is so bad for people who have carpal tunnel, arthritis, the handle kills my hand
Whenever you see a channel push a brand, simply open up the description box and look at the hashtags.
You'll most likely find something like this: #Sponsored
@@AzureSteel She did say at the beginning of the video that Dyson sent her all the vacuums to try and thanked them. No need to read anything.
I’ve used both Dyson & Rainbow. Prefer Dyson but the Rainbow was a mid 80’s machine. Have used Dyson standard upright vacs since soon after they hit market. You get what you pay for and if you have a lot of carpet and fur/hair to deal with some of the brands like Shark that cost less just don’t last long. Will have to check the 2 brands mentioned here as I’ve not heard of
Can use the Laser Slim Fluffy™ cleaner
head & Digital Motorbar head for my V11 torque vacuum?
can you compare the V8 and V12 origin?
Why not review the v10? It was a huge upgrade from the v8 and it has the best bang for your buck package.
Hello Mam, what is a good vacuum that will help me with High Pile, Low Pile carpet, Hardwood floors, Car cleaning. I was thinking to buy one product that can handle and have accessories for all these 4 tasks. Corded is fine and budget not constraint.
I am tired of getting all the cheap ones on Amazon and want to get a real one.
Please advise when you get a chance.
Hi, looking at getting a new dyson v15 detect absolute however looking at re- carpeting our house with a cut pile wool carpet- I have heard some vacuums are to hard on wool - just wondering what your experience or other peoples experience have been with this thx 😊
I own a cleaning business my worry is the run time does it come with a charger for on the go? Like while at a home plug it in to charge?
Hello! I own a Dyson V11 Absolute+. I was wondering if the antitangle head from the V15 would fit mine, or if there is something similar? Have a lot of issues with tangling on my "standard vacuum head" component. Thanks!
Thanks for the content. You’ve helped my ADHD. Making cleaning cool fun and stimulating..
You're so welcome! Thanks for watching.
ha. im replacing my Hyla with an Outsize plus. its gonna help me crush my time. 🤩🤩🤩 Ive never been made excited by a vacuum until now 🤘🤘🤘
Oh lord you just made me so happy!🙌 love love love all the new changes. Thank you Dyson. 👏👍
Total clean vs absolute? Need a difference in trying to decide
I bought the V15 detect but I didn’t get a spare battery with it and I only got the head for hard wood floors
Hi Melissa, I am getting older and don’t have the same energy for cleaning. I have a Rainbow vaccum cleaner and an old lady vap steam cleaner, they are amazing but big and heavy machines so I am looking for light, easy to work with but powerful machines to clean, especially my kitchen. Could you please recommend a tile/ marble/ hardwood light and compact steam cleaner and vaccum cleaner. If possible not as expensive as the Dyson V 15 please, thanks a lot!
We bought the V10 after using the V8 for several years. The V8 is still my favorite. Taking the long rod off and using just the plain nozzle makes it so useful cleaning other tools… like my Roomba. The V10 canister makes it too long to be used in this way.
I can’t help but notice your plants they’re beautiful which is the one on the right?
That's a Fiddle Leaf Fig
I can’t walk and use a scooter in a very small home. The cord drives me crazy!!! I would love a cordless stick vacuum
Will it work on a thick shag carpet I have a big area rug in the living room the it’s been a problem with a lot of vacuums ?
I like you and your channel, but I prefer a vacuum with the bulk of the weight on the floor. (Of course, a central vacuum system built into the walls is my favorite.)
I've owned a Dyson. I loved the suction and that it is cordless. What I don't understand is why they put that cheap plastic pull-down lever to empty the canisters. It broke twice. I pulled down the lever and the whole damn canister fell into the trash can. They have never addressed this issue. For that reason, I will not purchase another one. Lastly the battery died on my Dyson in 6 months fortunately for me it was still under warranty. For reference-I have the V11, I owned it for 8 months before the canister lever broke. I used this Dyson once daily to clean my entire first floor(1000sq feet combination of hard wood, porcelain tile, and area rugs). I have three cats so there is always cat hair.
I prefer a sled vacuum cleaner with power cord and bag. Not fancy but best performance and good for many years. Bag replacement is fast and clean without having to clean the whole system. No need to manage battery replacement and charging stations if you have a power outlet in every room.
I just bought a v15 and it has play where the tube attaches to the base. Is this normal?
I bought the fluffy head for my V11 Outsize! Life changer
Just a heads up Dyson doesnt make the best/most powerful vacuum. Few years ago i tested about 5 vacuums just going over a rental apartment living room. The best one hands down and this was after going over the same carpet i had gone over 4 times before with misc vacuum brands including a Dyson... Bissel, literally a day after just using the Dyson, had vacuumed so much deeper into the carpet i filled up the canister about 3 times. I honestly couldn't believe how much dust had come out
Do you know what voltage does the charger use? I would like to know if I can still use it if I move abroad, unfortunately I can’t find this information anywhere in the dyson webpage and nobody seems to be able to help… thanks!!
0:03 Your toes are conducting this cleansing orchestra.
😊yeah
I would like to know how does it do with pet odors ?
My wife doesn’t want to spend that kind of money for a v15 and ruin it due to pet odors have over taken most all our vacuums
You need hepa filter for that and you change the filter often, I have a V8 origine that specifies "HEPA filter"
Hi Melissa
I am planning to buy a good vacuum for my new townhouse( with carpet and wooden floor). Can you advise is robotic vacuum a good option or dyson cordless?? Let me know your view about robotic vacuum.
Thank you:)
Cordless for sure!!!!!!!!
I just bought V11 torque drive from Costco....which of the covered models are same as V11
Why didn't you feature the new Dyson Ball Animal 3? Plenty of people still want a corded upright, and Dysons new upright and really good and a very good improvement over the Animal 2
Thank you! Great tutorial! I want to purchase a Dyson, and now I know!❤️🙌🏻
Omg! The vacuums are almost bigger than you are! LOL. Thanks for the video. Well done.
How do you charge the batteries back up
Would you be willing to do a review on the Ryobi ONE+ HP 18V Brushless Cordless Pet Stick Vac with Dual-Roller Bar stick vac? It looks like a neat vac for much less than the dysons. It also has the fluffy head built into the vacuum head so you don’t have to change heads from carpets to floors.
dyson outsize absolute gold vs outsize plus difference ? Thank you.
Could you please comment on what to do about pet hair in the little wheels that don’t come off? That’s the fatal flaw with my V15 that I absolutely love otherwise.
Awesome and informative video.
we would love to have one in for repair ( they hardly break so we don't see too many )
from our experience as a Dyson repair shop they are reliable, powerful and efficient vacuums as long as they are serviced / maintained especially the filters and dust bin,
the batteries eventually grow weaker so be sure to read up on the charge cycles for optimal battery life.
The warranty is also something amazing as they have covered a lot free of charge to our customers .
if one comes in we will post a video about general maintenance for them
So how do you charge the second battery if you are using the unit?
Can I use V15 motorbar cleaner head with V8 absolute?
Yes you can
Thank you for this video. I didn’t know which Dyson to get. I have had a Dyson for 18 years. I will never not have a Dyson. My 1k new sweeper comes in 2 days. I can’t wait. Hopefully the outsize plus is awesom!!
Target is currently having a sale on Dyson vacums.
