REVIEW – There’s an outdated saying that claims, “The extra issues keep the identical, the extra they modify.” Wait—that’s backward. Regardless of, as a result of it applies the place Dyson is worried. Their line of cordless stick vacuum cleaners has revolutionized the market. It appears everyone seems to be now copying what Dyson started. Years in the past, we purchased a Dyson upright—a beast of a machine that we nonetheless use on our again porch carpet. Later, we graduated to a Cyclone V10 Absolute stick vacuum and by no means appeared again. Since then, Dyson has launched a number of upgrades, which leads us to the most recent—the Dyson V15 Detect+ cordless stick vacuum. At first look, it seems to be so much like our older V10, however oh, it’s a lot greater than that.
What’s it?
The V15 Detect+ cordless stick vacuum cleaner is the newest in a protracted line of Dyson stick vacuums. It’s battery-operated, making it a lot simpler to hoover a home with no twine restrictions. Though it’s cordless, it has the facility of most corded vacuums. The battery will last as long as 60 minutes (on Eco mode) and is now (lastly) swappable, so you may proceed vacuuming longer with an non-obligatory further battery. There’s additionally a slew of equipment I’ll get into later on this evaluation.

Design and options
As I mentioned, the V15 Detect+ seems to be very like different Dyson stick vacuums, however that’s the place the similarity ends. This can be a completely different animal—extra helpful and dare I say, extra enjoyable to make use of. It feels balanced in your hand—straightforward to maneuver whether or not vacuuming the ground or higher partitions the place spider webs can accumulate.
The motor—Dyson calls it the Hyperdymium motor—spins as much as 125,000rpm. In different phrases, it sucks (I couldn’t resist). All I do know is that after we are achieved vacuuming, there’s a number of mud and hair to empty from the bin.
Dyson has all the time made interesting-looking and typically lovely merchandise. Whereas I wouldn’t name the V15 lovely, it does exude a cool, industrial vibe. The 14 gold-colored cyclone chambers together with the brilliant, clear teal HEPA filter cowl and crimson accent software connectors say, “Use me.”
The deal with is snug to carry whereas vacuuming. It suits completely in your hand with its trigger-action energy button. The V15 runs when the set off is pulled and stops when launched. This helps forestall battery waste when not truly vacuuming.
The V15 Detect+ features a full-color LED display that shows battery life, what mode you’re utilizing, and preferences. In Auto mode, a built-in piezo sensor sizes and counts mud particles and robotically adjusts suction energy as wanted. It then shows real-time data of how a lot has been sucked up on the LED display as you vacuum. Whereas it’s fairly wonderful that the V15 can depend mud, it wasn’t lengthy earlier than I finished caring and focused on how a lot battery time I had left.
Whereas the V15 is counting all that mud, its built-in filtration traps 99.99% of fantastic mud as small as 0.3 microns. Plus a brand new, upgraded HEPA post-motor filter traps extra microscopic particles as small as 0.1 microns, which suggests that the majority the air expelled from the vacuum, is as clear as will be. My allergy-suffering spouse actually appreciates this function.
There are nearly too many attachments that include the V15. Here’s a record with ideas on every.
Excessive torque cleaner head – That is the primary vacuum head. It’s excellent for carpet cleansing. We’ve two canines they usually shed. Our home is all tile, however we’ve a big rug in the lounge that will get vacuumed nearly on daily basis. The V15 vacuums so nicely, that the bin will replenish simply from the rug—each 24 hours. It’s wonderful—and disgusting. We don’t use the top on the tile (it’s not really useful for onerous flooring) as a result of the brushes spin so quick, that particles will be swept by way of the top earlier than it may be sucked up. Dyson makes a special head for onerous flooring—the Laser Slim Fluffy head.
Laser Slim Fluffy head – Exhausting flooring profit extra from a gentle head that sweeps because it spins whereas vacuuming. Dyson has now included a function that each infuriates my spouse and has her hooked on the V15 Detect+. They added a laser on the finish of the attachment that shines a shiny inexperienced gentle throughout the ground as you vacuum. My spouse—a clear freak and a germaphobe—is continually vacuuming and steam-mopping the flooring. Our shedding canines don’t assist issues. That laser gentle is wonderful. It sees every part. Each time my spouse vacuums utilizing the fluffy head, she will’t cease commenting how a lot she hates it—as she vacuums till the laser exhibits nothing left. The Laser Slim Fluffy head is such a cool function that I’m positive it will likely be solely a matter of time earlier than it exhibits up on different vacuum cleaners.
Be aware: The Laser Slim Fluffy head curler is detachable and washable. this head additionally works completely on our older V10. It may be bought individually as a substitute half however is presently offered out. Nevertheless, I make no ensures it can work in your Dyson.
Hair screw software – Consider this as a mini-torque cleaner head. Don’t let its bizarre conical form idiot you, this software is nice at vacuuming couch and seat cushions—and its tangle-free brush picks up a lot of hair with out jamming from hair wrapping across the brush.
Combi-crevice software – That is simply what it seems to be like—a crevice software with a detachable brush on the tip. I don’t use the comb a part of the software very a lot preferring simply the crevice software by itself.
Cussed Dust Brush – The bristles on this software are stiffer which makes it helpful for vacuuming automobile mats and carpet. It’s good for loosening floor in dust or dried mud whereas sucking it up.
Mini gentle dusting brush – That is nice for vacuuming keyboards, delicate electronics, and anything that wants dusting greater than onerous vacuuming.
Mixture software – I don’t get this software. Many vacuum cleaners embody a software like this and I’ve but to see its benefit over only a brush or crevice software
Constructed-in dusting and crevice software – This can be a hidden software. Detach the wand (shaft) by urgent the crimson button and it reveals a crevice/brush software saved inside. It’s a intelligent design that over time grew to become extraordinarily helpful.
Wand clip – This software clips to the primary shaft of the vacuum and holds two instruments you may want typically, just like the crevice and brush instruments. Be aware that a number of the bigger attachment instruments gained’t match on the clip. Additionally, it doesn’t clip on that tightly. I’ve knocked it off a number of instances bumping into furnishings.
Low-reach adapter – This software lets you vacuum beneath a chair or sofa with out bending down. It bends backward at any angle you want for the V15 to achieve beneath furnishings. It can additionally lock right into a straight place for normal vacuuming.
Docking station – I by no means connected our V10 to the wall utilizing the included docking station. It simply sits on a shelf prepared to make use of. This time I made a decision to make use of the wall-mounted docking station for the V15. Even after accurately attaching the station, it nonetheless doesn’t really feel all that safe. I preserve questioning if it can pull out of the wall because it has a 7 lb. Cleaner hanging from it. The excellent news is that the V15 costs whereas it’s connected to the station, so that you all the time have a completely charged vacuum cleaner prepared to make use of.
Charger – Lastly, Dyson’s battery is detachable! When you’ve got a big home or a number of carpet, vacuum time will be doubled with one battery charging whereas the opposite is in use. The battery connection is stable and tight. Dyson batteries run full energy with no fading till drained, so the V15 won’t ever lose suction whereas in use.
Vacuuming with the V15 Detect+ is straightforward and clean. The top simply swivels round furnishings legs and stays straight if you need it to. Attachments are intuitive and simple to swap. There’s no time wasted attempting to determine how something suits or methods to use a software. Dyson is all about design and it exhibits in ease of use. Many of the elements are plastic, however it feels nicely made and every part connects completely.
We’re capable of vacuum our 2300 sq. ft. home in about half-hour utilizing Auto mode with out draining the battery. Have in mind that is on tile flooring. A carpeted home will take longer and normally require a better setting leading to shorter battery life.

Ultimate Ideas
I mentioned earlier that the V15 Detect+ is sort of enjoyable to make use of. It does such a very good job at vacuuming that it nearly justifies its excessive price ticket. I’ve all the time thought that Dyson costs an excessive amount of for his or her merchandise. However, as I write this evaluation, they’re offered out of the V15, so Dyson can clearly cost what they need. Then there’s that laser. With out that, the V15 is an excellent vacuum cleaner. With the laser, it’s freaking superior—even when my spouse gained’t admit it.
