Agree. It shouldn't be running when you don't move it. Like for instance when moving furniture etc. Keeping it down all the time greatly reduces battery life and is not necessary because it is EASILY pressed down without noticing. I don't get people crying out for a on off button, that would be incredibly irritating to move hands to turn off and on. Totally would defeat the ease of use and rapid on off motor which allows the long battery life. I have V11 AbsolutePro and get over an hour battery life on eco, which does amazing on hard floors and even my carpets, i NEVER put it on boost unless there is sand under a pair of shoes for example.

I’ve bought 2 Dyson vacuums. A v6 that we bought years ago still works great. I use it on our cars now since we bought a v8 which now does house work. Only maintenance needed on the v6 is a replacement battery that was $25 on Amazon. Definitely worth the money and these vacuums last a long time.

the battery life on dysons is actually one of the best in the business. vacuums take a ton of power to run and dyson vacuums are some of the strongest on the market (you can tell by how much it picks up that your roomba missed) that strength comes at the cost of battery life which could be longer but it would add weight and make the vacuum clunky and hard to use. with these limitations in mind, dyson does a great job of maximizing the battery life without making any compromises on performance. you can always just swap out the battery part way through if it’s really an issue.
Just got mine the other day. V7 animal was my current one, I cleaned a 10x7 rug a few passes with the v7 then did a few passes on the v15 both highest settings and the v15 picked up so much little dust particles, I was super amazed. Coming from the v7, I’d have to say the v15 is well worth the $$, for me at least. V7 was just “ok” but if you want that deeper clean then v15 is just awesome.

I wonder if the unit could benefit from a sort of "bow" -- like a ship's wedge-shaped bow -- at the front, in between the two 'gates'.

It looked like you had to do another pass in order to pick up the beans that were just being pushed along without any effect.
I had my doubts when I purchased my V15 at full retail price (plus an extended 5-year warranty), but having the convenience of switching to a well-engineered cordless design really makes it feel like less of a chore to do regular vacuuming. The performance is quite impressive. The battery on auto mode is sufficient enough to thoroughly clean my 1,200 square foot carpeted home with ease (including stairs), with a remaining 5-8 minutes of headroom.

@@MyLittleMyrkott got the V12 instead and LOVE IT. The green laser has been a game changer because when you “see” the dirt you can’t help but pick it up. Embarrassingly, my floors have never been cleaner.
@@drumsonly25 I tried the v15 at a friends house once and I fell in love with that green laser too. I really don't like vacuuming, but even for me it became so satisfying to do it. And everything got sucked up. But maybe one can go for a cheaper one than the v15! And it works well with all that animal hair you got too?
Have you got an update? Im looking to get one as I have 2 cats that are always shedding and about to get a samoyed puppy who will shed nonstop, plus my long hair. Need to know if it will hold up.
Hi Vanessa. Does it work on plush carpet? I keep watching reviews and seeing videos of people who can’t even push it across the carpet and also leaving lots of debris behind on wood floors. Which one do you have?
Thanks for the vid. I got one two weeks ago. I agree with all you said. Battery life is a farce. I'm in Aussie land and mine cost $1500 and batteries are $200. But it's the most amazing vacuum I've ever used. I'm currently trying to find a way to store all the attachments. I really think some method should have been included for the cost.
Just purchased the V15 to help out the Deebot N8 Pro robot vac. The V15 really helps with stairs, corners, closets, fabric furniture, window sill/blinds, and parts of the floor the robot vac can't reach. Spot cleaning and deep cleaning of high traffic areas are excellent.
@@salvationbygracethroughfaith It is only stupid to you if you don't have a need for the V15 or you trying to make yourself feel better by making other feel worse because you can't afford it. I'm pretty sure there are things around your home, parked in your garage, or other life decisions others would call "plain stupid" sitting on their high horse next you yours.
I got this for Christmas and I love it. Just wished the trigger button wasn’t something you hold on while vacuuming. Battery life is eh. But I like how all the dirt gets collected.
Just wanted to make people aware that I recently bought the V15 Detect Absolute and the stated battery time of 60 minutes is an approximation for Eco mode only. The Auto (medium) setting gives battery life of just over 36 minutes with any tool not requiring power and about 7 minutes in Turbo mode. I bought an additional battery and both give the same results when fully charged. I also confirmed these times by speaking direct to Dyson customer services today 30/12/21
With this in mind, do you think the V15 Detect Absolute is still worth its price? Trying to decide if it's worth getting for a 1300 sq ft home with wood flooring and the occasional floor rug. Or if I should get the V10 or V8 instead.
I honestly don’t understand the appeal of robot vac’s. Just simply based upon physics, they are not big enough physically to contain a big enough motor that can be effective on carpet. And that’s just the motor, design and seal against the floor are other ones. Robot vacs only seem to be good enough for bigger stuff like crumbs but even on hard wood floors, my iRobot struggled a lot. I didn’t realize how much my robot vaccs were missing until I got the V15. Dyson’s are worth the price. Great review 👍🏽.
The laser isn't on the standard head because it's made for hard floors. The laser sits 0.7mm off the ground to highlight anything sitting on the ground. It just simply wouldn't work on carpet.
We have a Gen5 and we find that having the head closed on carpet, the suction is so strong that we can run it in eco mode. Its picks up everything and lasts a long time
U know they have a version on their site that's called the v15 detect+? It has a hepa filter that's so dense and advanced, it can filter dirt down to the size of 0.1 microns vs 0.3 microns like all of the dyson stik vacs with hepa purple colored filters including the regular v15, uprights, and canisters - even the ones with cinetic filtration. And fun fact the cv is just a bit bigger than 0.1 microns. So that's something that I'm looking forward to purchasing 1 day. Also the crevice tool is built in and it has some more cool features all for $750US
@@krystleroy3068 well whats more important? Getting ur carpets as clean as possible, or a lite vac? Because what's the use of a lite vac if it's not gonna deep clean ur carpets rite? Also 6 lbs isn't heavy. But then again everyone's different
Just an FYI, getting the HEPA filtered model will VERY SLIGHTLY lower your suction as there’s more resistance in the filter. Basically though the extra 5% in suction over V11 overcomes this though
@@Clove_Parma makes sense. But the v15 is rated at 230 air watts on max suction which is barely more than the outsize in its max setting (which u should only be using for short heavy duty moments in life). But im sure there's a sensor within the vac that will make sure that the air flow stays stable and the same and will compensate with more current to the small motor. Also u dont need 230 air watts of suction power to clean your floors and carpets well. 23 or the medium 45 air watts is perfect. I'd still take it considering it has very stellar filtration and some of its new features look useful
I got a v12 slim detect and returned it and got a v15 instead. I realized i like the trigger more than i liked the location of the button on the v12... lol
I have been using a V6 Absolute for the last 4 years and I just purchased a V15. The dismal battery life on the Max suction of the V6 was beyond frustrating, like 5 minutes of run time. I’m looking forward to the improvement in battery life and dynamic adjustment of power as needed. My wife and daughter both have very bad allergies, so something that will pick up fine dust will be great!
Yeah the feather touch trigger is NECESSARY to achieve long battery life and not running the motor when moving furniture etc. Also, it is HIGHLY unusual to have wall to wall carpets. That trend was over when we got into the new millennium here in Europe... Apparently america is old school. On hard floors the Dyson doesn't need much suction to get a perfect result, and a carpet here and there under a table etc doesn't reduce battery life like a wall to wall carpet would. But again, since it's not normal in Europe I guess they predicted 80 percent hard floor vacuuming and the remaining 20 percent carpeted floors with higher suction would not drain the battery as noticably as in your case...
It’s excellent but too heavy compared to the V10 absolute. The heavy suction makes it’s much harder to push along the carpet. If you have lino or hard floors get the V10 absolute as it’ll do the same job easily, but if you have carpet & animals then get this heavy duty bad boy.
Hey there. I bought one of those couple days ago. It’s exactly like you said with battery’s, on off switch and being heavyweight during vacuuming but results it’s amazing and makes fun to work with. Big different is that it’s really cheaper in us than in Germany. I bought it for 750€ 🥸🥸. God bless
I found this video after I had purchased it, granted I did some research before swiping the card but thank you for the thorough and "oddly satisfying" review looking forward to checking out those stats lol.
I've had the Dyson V10 Animal since March of 2018 for $700 I believe.. it's worked great. Battery on medium will clean my whole house 1000sqft 15-20minutes.. but if I vacuum my 14x12 rug in the living room on boost it won't last long, maybe 8-10 minutes. It definitely picks up good. The only other thing is the filter on the back is annoying to clean.
@@zureai Yeah.. I think I paid about that back in 2018.. gave it to my parents when I got the v15.. and the v15 was very similar, a bit better and substantial better battery life.
We have a ball from 2011 and 2020! We use both interchangabely because different parts have broken over time. We’re fixing them next week with some new parts, but they still work really well! I will say that the dyson ball cinetic (our 2011) is much more of a pain to clean anything on. The filters are inaccessible, which sucks, but they have made improvements as far as things like that go in the past decade
I loved how you @9:00 proved that the laser is relatively useless in daylight :D. Hence I won´t need Dyson V15. I think the V11 has all you need for an efficient cleaning.
I have V10 and so I can see they still don't fix how messy the snap open motion is, all the dust flying out and we gotta prepare a bit for it. I see many brands already start making a station to help suck out all dust from the Tank. Dyson should solve this issue now.
Honestly the v15 is so worth it I got up so much fine dirt with the gate all the way closed in my sister’s bedroom and i only just cleaned my sister’s bedroom and honestly I like the dyson a lot
Great review and YES, I will be buying! I’ve got the purple ball Dyson and I got it shortly after Dyson came to be but it’s now pretty much had it. I had it in to be tuned up and they said the next time it goes it’s time to say goodbye. We just installed black polished porcelain throughout our home and I do have several area rugs so the fluffy roller was of major interest as I don’t want anything scratching that black polished tile yet I need the other for the area rugs so it looks like this will be the one … $949.99 in 🇨🇦 so with tax well over a $1,000.00 but a powerful machine! 💞
When you test the laser, you need to pull it back over the clean part, so it illuminates it again and we can see and compare how much it cleaned. Right now we’re only seeing the before but not really the after, which is not very valuable.
I like the trigger on my Dyson. If I put it down for a second it quits and doesn’t waste the battery. I also don’t really mind the battery thing. I just put back on the charger and clean something else for a while.
Tbh Suction is Absolutely NOT important, airflow is. I have had a dyson v8 and upgraded the battery but will never replace it with my other vacuum that I’ve owned for 7 years. I own a Miele Marin made in Germany vacuum and absolutely LOVE IT, although it uses bags I prefer just to buy a bag and throw it away instead of buying filters and having to empty it and having to touch all the dirt, to me that just dosnt make a healthy home. What’s also great is that my Miele can be serviced in any vacuum center and has a 10 year warranty, I’f I ever decide to trade it in for another one then the vacuum sustains the same price that I paid for it even after 7 years.
Very good video. Very helpful. BTW the additional particles you pick up on the carpet could very well be the carpet itself. Meaning that the dyson is probably "eating" the carpet and not actually picking up additional "useful" particles. Does it pick up much more particles on hard floors than the robots? I am quite curious.
so the battery is so bad you need a way to detect if you can go slower than full speed ?? why not just but a normal one with a power cable and rund it full speed ?
The trigger is genius. If you need to turn it off for a second, just let the trigger go. It's not constantly on, wasting battery life. Hopefully, they keep the trigger forever.
I have had a Dyson Animal Canister for several years. The first canister I have ever had and in general do not like it. It has good suction and I like the self winding cord. What I do not like is it has no light and the pet hair gets wound in the brush. It was supposed to be for picking up pet hair. Plus the handle broke after a few years due to lifting it constantly. I am thinking of a cordless like this one, but I am glad I watched your video because I didn't know the main brush attachment had no light, I am disappointed to find that you have to hold the power button the entire time and I am not happy with the short battery life. Not sure if it is worth the $$ due to Dyson not going the extra mile to make this vacuum better.
People who complain about the low battery life have to understand that most vaccum cleaners (the normal ones) run at around 1500 to 2500 Watts (at the highest setting). So even on medium settings, you easily run at 1000 Watts. Expecting hours worth of battery life out of a vaccum cleaner that can compete with normal cleaners is just not realistic. Especially if you have to carry that huge battery pack in your hand. I believe if you have larger areas to clean, you should always pick a cabled vaccum cleaner anyways and not a battery powered one.
So, after this we got one and i'm going full Jedi laser on dust now. Our home is mostly full hard floor and i'm actually preferring doing cleaning in the dark now. Sci-fi purity with high tech negative pressure generator.
This was an excellent video review! Wow🤗 and I didnt know that there was a vacuum out there that auto detangles the hair! That's been the biggest problem with my cord vaccum. Being blessed with a crown of thick hair on my head it's so difficult cutting the hairs out😒 the roller.....what a relief 🙌
I feel like after you deep clean everything like that...just a quick pass on everything every other day would be good enough and the battery life would no longer be an issue.
17 minutes.. lol it takes a hour or more to do downstairs and upstairs well 🤔 is it a luxury duster than or something? for when something is spilled but not for a good vacuum clean session?
@Jojo Moa I got the rowenta air force and that one is pretty good. can vacuum decently the whole house. Dutch common houses aren't big as usually in America so for me it's sufficient. on eco it's good enough for hard floors and boost for flat fabric services and thick carpet the turbo. if I switch between the eco and boost it's good enough for several rounds of entire house.
@Jojo Moa It's not true. You can clean the same areas in much less time with this vacuum. The ease of use and maneuverability help speed you along. Use on of these for any length of time and a corded machine will drive you crazy, afterward.

Wait why is the V15 so cheap in the US? It’s the equivalent of $966 USD in Australia. You not counting the tax? Also, just an FYI, it’s a hair trigger so you don’t need to fully press it, makes it less tiring. Additionally, for the best cleaning performance leave the front gate on the middle setting unless on low pile carpet, it spins better so does a better job digging dirt out usually
My Dyson was awesome and then randomly we brought home a shark. So then we vacuumed with the Dyson and then immediately vacuumed with the shark and the shark had more dirt in it than a six month old Dyson. Half of what you’re paying for with a Dyson is all that engineering. And the shark has two heads on it with the roller brush that eats up any large objects and never gets hair tangles. We were impressed

It's a magnificent vacuum. Worth every penny. I've only had mine for a few days, and I've already vacuumed more than I had in the last six months. It makes the task almost recreational.
How is the build quality? I have heard the dysons of these days have cheaper feeling plastics and not as good/sturdy as they used to be known for. Can you comment?
5:00 simply use mode Auto and vacuum everyday. considering also the large space, you might be better off doing one straight pass with some overlap like plowing a huge farm land,
For such expensive vacuums, the battery life is a deal breaker for me. After my last Dyson, I won’t be back. When you said the battery is a “wish list item” on a almost $800 vacuum, that’s a no for me.
Quality video. I don't know anyone who trusts a robovac to clean effectively. Maybe if we could find a room cleaned with a decent cleaner first, then test the V15 there.
Also Dysons are comoletely sealed which means NOTHING even nôt the dust particules goes out of the vacuum. Which is unique as Well - you got cleaner air than before vacuuming.
I’ve just coughed out £599 for one of these today! Comes tomorrow and very excited. All hard floors downstairs so the laser it’s going to get used most I think.
@@Korn1holio laser is ace. It really does show up particles on hard flooring, obviously not great in full sunshine, but hovering in the evening like I normally do you can see most everything and you really can see where you’ve missed. No use on carpet but that’s where the other power head comes in. Which again is amazing. Really fluffs up carpets and digs out all sorts of hair. So all in all, highly recommend.
somehow I think the display is only to give an impression that it's doing a better job than a less pricey vacuum. As regarding dust, when I clean the vacuum box of my vacuum, it looks like it pick up a lot as much as in this video they showed.
I have a shark cordless vacuum, and I feel like it does a better job. The head you get with the vacuum is bigger, which has a bigger motor to pick stuff up from the ground and carpet. I have 3 extra batteries to keep on going if I need it.
8:30 good criticism coming from a tech channel! this is also the complaint of mine and some vacuum channels, considering the torque head is usable (imho better on hard floors) on hard floors
It's time to have a little talk with your robot vac's. "Listen guys, I really appreciate your dedication, but..."
Haha, they just ain't cutting it I guess

@@MyLittleMyrkott got the V12 instead and LOVE IT. The green laser has been a game changer because when you “see” the dirt you can’t help but pick it up. Embarrassingly, my floors have never been cleaner.
@@drumsonly25 I tried the v15 at a friends house once and I fell in love with that green laser too. I really don't like vacuuming, but even for me it became so satisfying to do it. And everything got sucked up. But maybe one can go for a cheaper one than the v15! And it works well with all that animal hair you got too?
Have you got an update? Im looking to get one as I have 2 cats that are always shedding and about to get a samoyed puppy who will shed nonstop, plus my long hair. Need to know if it will hold up.
I absolutely love my Dyson. I use it everyday and I’m amazed at home much dust particles it picks up. Totally worth it!
Hi Vanessa. Does it work on plush carpet? I keep watching reviews and seeing videos of people who can’t even push it across the carpet and also leaving lots of debris behind on wood floors. Which one do you have?
@@carmenrenee5146i think, if the carpets it's too thick it might not vaccuum, but if it's thin it's okay, my carpets are thin so i have no problem
Thanks for the vid. I got one two weeks ago. I agree with all you said. Battery life is a farce. I'm in Aussie land and mine cost $1500 and batteries are $200. But it's the most amazing vacuum I've ever used. I'm currently trying to find a way to store all the attachments. I really think some method should have been included for the cost.
Good Lord 1500! I wish your pockets were not hurt lol.
holy- that's so expensive - mine i did paid 500- bucks ( euro)
Holy that's expensive that is almost 800 in Canadian
so proud of product that we make everyday of our hardwork. Thanks for the great feedback sir
Just purchased the V15 to help out the Deebot N8 Pro robot vac. The V15 really helps with stairs, corners, closets, fabric furniture, window sill/blinds, and parts of the floor the robot vac can't reach. Spot cleaning and deep cleaning of high traffic areas are excellent.
@@salvationbygracethroughfaith It is only stupid to you if you don't have a need for the V15 or you trying to make yourself feel better by making other feel worse because you can't afford it. I'm pretty sure there are things around your home, parked in your garage, or other life decisions others would call "plain stupid" sitting on their high horse next you yours.
I got this for Christmas and I love it. Just wished the trigger button wasn’t something you hold on while vacuuming. Battery life is eh. But I like how all the dirt gets collected.
Maybe tie something around it.
Amazon has trigger locks for like $8 ☺️
Just wanted to make people aware that I recently bought the V15 Detect Absolute and the stated battery time of 60 minutes is an approximation for Eco mode only. The Auto (medium) setting gives battery life of just over 36 minutes with any tool not requiring power and about 7 minutes in Turbo mode. I bought an additional battery and both give the same results when fully charged. I also confirmed these times by speaking direct to Dyson customer services today 30/12/21
With this in mind, do you think the V15 Detect Absolute is still worth its price? Trying to decide if it's worth getting for a 1300 sq ft home with wood flooring and the occasional floor rug. Or if I should get the V10 or V8 instead.
I honestly don’t understand the appeal of robot vac’s. Just simply based upon physics, they are not big enough physically to contain a big enough motor that can be effective on carpet. And that’s just the motor, design and seal against the floor are other ones. Robot vacs only seem to be good enough for bigger stuff like crumbs but even on hard wood floors, my iRobot struggled a lot. I didn’t realize how much my robot vaccs were missing until I got the V15. Dyson’s are worth the price. Great review 👍🏽.
The laser isn't on the standard head because it's made for hard floors. The laser sits 0.7mm off the ground to highlight anything sitting on the ground. It just simply wouldn't work on carpet.
We have a Gen5 and we find that having the head closed on carpet, the suction is so strong that we can run it in eco mode. Its picks up everything and lasts a long time
U know they have a version on their site that's called the v15 detect+? It has a hepa filter that's so dense and advanced, it can filter dirt down to the size of 0.1 microns vs 0.3 microns like all of the dyson stik vacs with hepa purple colored filters including the regular v15, uprights, and canisters - even the ones with cinetic filtration. And fun fact the cv is just a bit bigger than 0.1 microns. So that's something that I'm looking forward to purchasing 1 day. Also the crevice tool is built in and it has some more cool features all for $750US
I still love my LG it’s so much lighter but it doesn’t deep clean like the dyson dose I use the LG most of the time lol
@@krystleroy3068 well whats more important? Getting ur carpets as clean as possible, or a lite vac? Because what's the use of a lite vac if it's not gonna deep clean ur carpets rite? Also 6 lbs isn't heavy. But then again everyone's different
Just an FYI, getting the HEPA filtered model will VERY SLIGHTLY lower your suction as there’s more resistance in the filter. Basically though the extra 5% in suction over V11 overcomes this though
@@Clove_Parma makes sense. But the v15 is rated at 230 air watts on max suction which is barely more than the outsize in its max setting (which u should only be using for short heavy duty moments in life). But im sure there's a sensor within the vac that will make sure that the air flow stays stable and the same and will compensate with more current to the small motor. Also u dont need 230 air watts of suction power to clean your floors and carpets well. 23 or the medium 45 air watts is perfect. I'd still take it considering it has very stellar filtration and some of its new features look useful
I got a v12 slim detect and returned it and got a v15 instead. I realized i like the trigger more than i liked the location of the button on the v12... lol
Wow. I make $700 (all rent and needs already covered) in 2 months. That is A LOT of money to people with below average or lower jobs. Lucky you.
Yeah tbh pretty ridiculous lol
I have been using a V6 Absolute for the last 4 years and I just purchased a V15. The dismal battery life on the Max suction of the V6 was beyond frustrating, like 5 minutes of run time. I’m looking forward to the improvement in battery life and dynamic adjustment of power as needed. My wife and daughter both have very bad allergies, so something that will pick up fine dust will be great!
You don't ever need to use max suction unless its a tough spot.. eco and auto is plenty
Yeah the feather touch trigger is NECESSARY to achieve long battery life and not running the motor when moving furniture etc. Also, it is HIGHLY unusual to have wall to wall carpets. That trend was over when we got into the new millennium here in Europe... Apparently america is old school. On hard floors the Dyson doesn't need much suction to get a perfect result, and a carpet here and there under a table etc doesn't reduce battery life like a wall to wall carpet would. But again, since it's not normal in Europe I guess they predicted 80 percent hard floor vacuuming and the remaining 20 percent carpeted floors with higher suction would not drain the battery as noticably as in your case...
For $700 you can get a Sebo Felix that will blow this away. Not that the Dyson is a bad vacuum but for $700 they need to offer a better warranty
It’s excellent but too heavy compared to the V10 absolute. The heavy suction makes it’s much harder to push along the carpet. If you have lino or hard floors get the V10 absolute as it’ll do the same job easily, but if you have carpet & animals then get this heavy duty bad boy.
Thank you :) I just bought the v15 and you’re right it hard on carpet, and I need it more for hard floor, thank you :)
Put in on Eco when vacuuming carpet. Much easier.
Do you know if the v15 has some sort of protection from over charging when being left charging overnight. Would it damage the lifespan of the battery
Yes. It caps out and stops when it's full. Dyson did a bunch of testing with that to make it work
Ovi
Hey there. I bought one of those couple days ago. It’s exactly like you said with battery’s, on off switch and being heavyweight during vacuuming but results it’s amazing and makes fun to work with. Big different is that it’s really cheaper in us than in Germany. I bought it for 750€ 🥸🥸. God bless
I found this video after I had purchased it, granted I did some research before swiping the card but thank you for the thorough and "oddly satisfying" review looking forward to checking out those stats lol.
I've had the Dyson V10 Animal since March of 2018 for $700 I believe.. it's worked great. Battery on medium will clean my whole house 1000sqft 15-20minutes.. but if I vacuum my 14x12 rug in the living room on boost it won't last long, maybe 8-10 minutes. It definitely picks up good. The only other thing is the filter on the back is annoying to clean.
It only last 8 mins?
@@pokemonfan-hx7ko that’s what she said
@@Hay_Bay I wish!
$700 usd??
@@zureai Yeah.. I think I paid about that back in 2018.. gave it to my parents when I got the v15.. and the v15 was very similar, a bit better and substantial better battery life.
My Dyson Ball from 2011 just died and while cordless seems cool and the way to go, battery life on these seems to be a deal-killer.
It's really not if you vacuum regularly. I adjusted too it quickly. So easy to grab and go right quick.
We have a ball from 2011 and 2020! We use both interchangabely because different parts have broken over time. We’re fixing them next week with some new parts, but they still work really well!
I will say that the dyson ball cinetic (our 2011) is much more of a pain to clean anything on. The filters are inaccessible, which sucks, but they have made improvements as far as things like that go in the past decade
I loved how you @9:00 proved that the laser is relatively useless in daylight :D. Hence I won´t need Dyson V15. I think the V11 has all you need for an efficient cleaning.
It's more visible in person, unless you are right under a window.
I have V10 and so I can see they still don't fix how messy the snap open motion is, all the dust flying out and we gotta prepare a bit for it. I see many brands already start making a station to help suck out all dust from the Tank. Dyson should solve this issue now.
My first gen V6 is a better vac than many corded vacs. Just rebuilt mine after some 7 years of reliable use.
What do people mean when they say "rebuild" these Dyson vacuums? Do you do it yourself? Send it back to Dyson to rebuild at a cost if out of warranty?
Honestly the v15 is so worth it I got up so much fine dirt with the gate all the way closed in my sister’s bedroom and i only just cleaned my sister’s bedroom and honestly I like the dyson a lot
Dyson clearly has the best............"..............."..."...........marketing. Better be good for 700. Now I’ll watch.
Great review and YES, I will be buying! I’ve got the purple ball Dyson and I got it shortly after Dyson came to be but it’s now pretty much had it. I had it in to be tuned up and they said the next time it goes it’s time to say goodbye. We just installed black polished porcelain throughout our home and I do have several area rugs so the fluffy roller was of major interest as I don’t want anything scratching that black polished tile yet I need the other for the area rugs so it looks like this will be the one … $949.99 in 🇨🇦 so with tax well over a $1,000.00 but a powerful machine! 💞
one thousand ??? oh my , Canada it's really expensive
Whether it’s full or near empty you will get the same amount of power. All newer cordless vacuums do this.
Yeah, i almost died when he said that. Like he was on the moon and never heard of lithium ion
When you test the laser, you need to pull it back over the clean part, so it illuminates it again and we can see and compare how much it cleaned. Right now we’re only seeing the before but not really the after, which is not very valuable.
I clearly saw a before and after
@@evangonsalves4347 The after is minimal
20 min of vacuum time is fine. I don’t wanna vacuum longer then that lol
Thanks for the review I don't have carpet, I absolutely hate cleaning the roller on my Bennet cordless vacuum cleaner as I have pets and long hair
Highly recommend Tineco A10 DASH, currently $150 but I got it on sale for $100 and is a powerful sucker for the price!
Those off brand models are super intriguing
I like the trigger on my Dyson. If I put it down for a second it quits and doesn’t waste the battery. I also don’t really mind the battery thing. I just put back on the charger and clean something else for a while.
Bought one today, I also have a robot and I still use it but ngl, all I can say is that Dyson V15 makes vacuum cleaning FUN FUN FUN lol.
Tbh Suction is Absolutely NOT important, airflow is. I have had a dyson v8 and upgraded the battery but will never replace it with my other vacuum that I’ve owned for 7 years. I own a Miele Marin made in Germany vacuum and absolutely LOVE IT, although it uses bags I prefer just to buy a bag and throw it away instead of buying filters and having to empty it and having to touch all the dirt, to me that just dosnt make a healthy home. What’s also great is that my Miele can be serviced in any vacuum center and has a 10 year warranty, I’f I ever decide to trade it in for another one then the vacuum sustains the same price that I paid for it even after 7 years.
Very good video. Very helpful. BTW the additional particles you pick up on the carpet could very well be the carpet itself. Meaning that the dyson is probably "eating" the carpet and not actually picking up additional "useful" particles. Does it pick up much more particles on hard floors than the robots? I am quite curious.
so the battery is so bad you need a way to detect if you can go slower than full speed ?? why not just but a normal one with a power cable and rund it full speed ?
The trigger is genius. If you need to turn it off for a second, just let the trigger go. It's not constantly on, wasting battery life. Hopefully, they keep the trigger forever.
Your shaky cams are killing me.
This video convinced me to never cover my house with carpet everywhere
I have had a Dyson Animal Canister for several years. The first canister I have ever had and in general do not like it. It has good suction and I like the self winding cord. What I do not like is it has no light and the pet hair gets wound in the brush. It was supposed to be for picking up pet hair. Plus the handle broke after a few years due to lifting it constantly. I am thinking of a cordless like this one, but I am glad I watched your video because I didn't know the main brush attachment had no light, I am disappointed to find that you have to hold the power button the entire time and I am not happy with the short battery life. Not sure if it is worth the $$ due to Dyson not going the extra mile to make this vacuum better.
People who complain about the low battery life have to understand that most vaccum cleaners (the normal ones) run at around 1500 to 2500 Watts (at the highest setting). So even on medium settings, you easily run at 1000 Watts. Expecting hours worth of battery life out of a vaccum cleaner that can compete with normal cleaners is just not realistic. Especially if you have to carry that huge battery pack in your hand. I believe if you have larger areas to clean, you should always pick a cabled vaccum cleaner anyways and not a battery powered one.
Thanks for the review. The having to hold the trigger is a dealbreaker for me. looks like a great vac to bad they missed that detail
So, after this we got one and i'm going full Jedi laser on dust now. Our home is mostly full hard floor and i'm actually preferring doing cleaning in the dark now.
Sci-fi purity with high tech negative pressure generator.
Nice video. Quick question: what color do you have in your house? I think it is the entrance. It is so pretty. It is like a grayish tone.
I think it's called Agreeable Gray by Sherwin-Williams
This was an excellent video review! Wow🤗 and I didnt know that there was a vacuum out there that auto detangles the hair! That's been the biggest problem with my cord vaccum. Being blessed with a crown of thick hair on my head it's so difficult cutting the hairs out😒 the roller.....what a relief 🙌
There are tons of vacuums on the market with the anti tangle head brush nowadays.. even back then
I feel like after you deep clean everything like that...just a quick pass on everything every other day would be good enough and the battery life would no longer be an issue.
yea very true
17 minutes.. lol it takes a hour or more to do downstairs and upstairs well 🤔 is it a luxury duster than or something? for when something is spilled but not for a good vacuum clean session?
@Jojo Moa I got the rowenta air force and that one is pretty good. can vacuum decently the whole house. Dutch common houses aren't big as usually in America so for me it's sufficient. on eco it's good enough for hard floors and boost for flat fabric services and thick carpet the turbo. if I switch between the eco and boost it's good enough for several rounds of entire house.
@Jojo Moa It's not true. You can clean the same areas in much less time with this vacuum. The ease of use and maneuverability help speed you along. Use on of these for any length of time and a corded machine will drive you crazy, afterward.
You vacuum for over an hour?!?! Your house is far bigger than mine....
@@cathiehealey4608 100 year old house lot of dust and 2 dogs it takes longer to vacuum clean the whole house every corner and under the furniture 😊😉 a little going over it 10 minutes downstairs
@@BrendaArtist LOL I think the square footage is the biggest difference....you could fill my place from head to toe with shedding dogs, there's no way it could take more than 30 minutes to vacuum the lot.
Wait why is the V15 so cheap in the US? It’s the equivalent of $966 USD in Australia. You not counting the tax?
Also, just an FYI, it’s a hair trigger so you don’t need to fully press it, makes it less tiring. Additionally, for the best cleaning performance leave the front gate on the middle setting unless on low pile carpet, it spins better so does a better job digging dirt out usually
I wanted to cry when you said 966 usd in australia. duse 7.000 TL in turkey :(
@@merve7466 bro you live in the third world, these things are only for rich people in your country or middle class in the first world

appreciate the detailed review. Love the 1 John 1:7 "Walk in The Light as He is in the Light", on the wall. Way to go brother. :)
There are little gadgets that will hold down the trigger for you. I use it only with the long hose & dusting head.
That's why I like having my plug in one, when I vacuum I'm doing the whole house, have the cordless for kitchen, quick mess
But Dyson no longer makes replacement parts for anything with a cord. So when it breaks you have to throw it away.
@@kelleythayer1435 can't say I've ever fixed or had one fixed always just threw away and bought a new one anyway
If you get one of these, you'll never want to hassle with a corded machine again. You'll see.
@@mousec3775 I have a corded one for carpets and cordless for kitchen and bathrooms
Carpets are worst thing honestly... allergies, pollens dust... last year we did wooden flooring.. felt bit more cold... but it's worth
My Dyson was awesome and then randomly we brought home a shark. So then we vacuumed with the Dyson and then immediately vacuumed with the shark and the shark had more dirt in it than a six month old Dyson. Half of what you’re paying for with a Dyson is all that engineering. And the shark has two heads on it with the roller brush that eats up any large objects and never gets hair tangles. We were impressed
Just curious which model of Shark?
@@biancacorona5353 Duoclean UV700. It’s a Costco specific model number. Each store has different model number so they don’t have to price match. Walmart in Target have the same thing but different model numbers.
In Australia the V15 is $1399. I know money worth isn't the same in the Aus and in the USA but would be so good if it was $700 ha.
Might as well have someone ship it to you 😂😂
@@jeroenvermunt3372 probably would still be cheaper 😅
I got 1 V15 2 weeks a go for 700€ and I am more than happy…can’t tell u what came out of the carpet 🙈
It's a magnificent vacuum. Worth every penny. I've only had mine for a few days, and I've already vacuumed more than I had in the last six months. It makes the task almost recreational.
How is the build quality? I have heard the dysons of these days have cheaper feeling plastics and not as good/sturdy as they used to be known for. Can you comment?
Just bought the V15. Best vacuum for the buck
I loved the review! And the new fun review style!
Thanks for watching!
you already know, you're well in your 30s when you're tickering with dysons
I love cleaning tech 😆
5:00 simply use mode Auto and vacuum everyday. considering also the large space, you might be better off doing one straight pass with some overlap like plowing a huge farm land,
For such expensive vacuums, the battery life is a deal breaker for me. After my last Dyson, I won’t be back. When you said the battery is a “wish list item” on a almost $800 vacuum, that’s a no for me.
What I got from this: wall to wall carpets are disgusting. Don’t get why that’s still a thing in The USA…
me either. they just trap dirt and hair and bugs. they suck
Yeah, I caved and added a big rug though. Nothing like something soft, and not cold under your feet
#1 solution. Clean more often
TheNumber40, I love carpet.
Gotta do a battery mod for higher capacity and higher amp rating or C rating discharge rating. The higher the discharge amperage the better.
Just ordered mine today v15. Hopefully 🤞 is good
Can you detach the floor brush and keep only pipe? Is it permanently attached?
FYI: outside of the US it costs $1,000 and more. So I would say $765 is more than acceptable :)
Just bougt it! VEEERY happy for it!
It may very well be that the grey “dust” is made by friction with the rug during vacuuming. It has the same color.
My rug is multi-colored...yet my dust is the same color.
Quality video. I don't know anyone who trusts a robovac to clean effectively. Maybe if we could find a room cleaned with a decent cleaner first, then test the V15 there.
Heck yes. I'm definitely getting this now. Thank you. 😁
so...what is the bissell you were referring to earlier? also, you did not recommend a best in corded or cordless vacuums. any suggestions?
What is better for vacuuming long hair on carpet and hardwood floor? Dyson V15 or Dyson V11 outsize ?
I really want a decent Dyson cordless vacuum but unfortunately I don't have the money for one and won't have the money anytime in the near future.
Own Dyson Animal c35 and 🧡it!. I am hesitant on the cordless ones because of the weight and subsequent strain on the wrist
I think there are lighter versions, but you naturally get less runtime as the battery is the heaviest part
Is the Dyson V15 better than the Samsung Bespoke? My last Dyson broke after a couple of years.
700$😢 I wish they hadn't spend all the money in advertisement.The product is cool.
Haha I wish it was cheaper
trigger at Dyson adds battery life. simply by stopping while you nové the obstacle etc.
Also Dysons are comoletely sealed which means NOTHING even nôt the dust particules goes out of the vacuum.
Which is unique as Well - you got cleaner air than before vacuuming.
I’ve just coughed out £599 for one of these today! Comes tomorrow and very excited. All hard floors downstairs so the laser it’s going to get used most I think.
so... didn't you regret it? Is laser a gimmick or actually useful? Deciding between V11 and V15
@@Korn1holio laser is ace. It really does show up particles on hard flooring, obviously not great in full sunshine, but hovering in the evening like I normally do you can see most everything and you really can see where you’ve missed. No use on carpet but that’s where the other power head comes in. Which again is amazing. Really fluffs up carpets and digs out all sorts of hair. So all in all, highly recommend.
@@Hibbo89 thanks. V15 it is then
I have almost 30yrs old vacuum cleaner and still working and that's enough for me
somehow I think the display is only to give an impression that it's doing a better job than a less pricey vacuum. As regarding dust, when I clean the vacuum box of my vacuum, it looks like it pick up a lot as much as in this video they showed.
the floor cleaning tool is very good, the suction is strong, good luck my friend
Great review. Would love to see comparison with LG Cord Zero
Thank you for the suggestion
$700?!?! In Australia it’s $1,500. That’s like $1,100 usd.
Why is everything so expensive in Australia?
@@SohailJafar1 because we are paid high wages. So things cost more.
It is so unfair though. We shouldn't have to pay nearly double for the same thing.
I have a shark cordless vacuum, and I feel like it does a better job. The head you get with the vacuum is bigger, which has a bigger motor to pick stuff up from the ground and carpet. I have 3 extra batteries to keep on going if I need it.
8:30 good criticism coming from a tech channel! this is also the complaint of mine and some vacuum channels, considering the torque head is usable (imho better on hard floors) on hard floors
Cost probably, with the brushless motor it's already an expensive head. Depends if people are willing to spend even more than $700!
