One of the problems I found was hair getting tangled in the small wheels at the base which can hinder the manoeuvrability to turn and it’s difficult to remove cause the smalls wheels are fixed.

[@alekseyshumilov2304]

Maybe I have missed, but I guess you didn't mentioned at all, on which mode did you achieve that 100% result? Was it max power? Is it good enough on the normal one? Thanks in advance.

[@ModernCastle]

We test all vacuums on max mode. However, it really isn't necessary in this case. Normal power mode would still yield 100% cleaning performance due to the brushroll design which grabs onto debris. Since we purchased this it has been my go-to vacuum around our office and studio (which is mostly hardwood floors). It's lightweight, easy to move, and cleans everything from floors, tables, and up high stuff. Great machine.

Can the Dyson omni-glide fit the Dyson hair scree tool attachment or the V12 Moterbar cleaner head?

[@ModernCastle]

It cannot

[@Ghostzy01]

Looks like it’ll be handy for general spot cleaning and dusting hard to reach places especially above your head as the V15 can be a little heavy for that for some. I’d still personally rather use the V15 for a full clean however.

[@ModernCastle]

Definitely agree. This has become my go to vacuum around our videographer studio. Any time I need to clean light messes, dust off tables, clean sofas, or just do a quick floor clean this what I use.

[@Ghostzy01]

@@ModernCastle Awesome to hear, definitely think I’ll pick one up. Didn’t think you could get even more convenient then the V15 but this actually is for those particular tasks it’s targeted at!

[@A0047-z6g]

I live in a 27-sqm condo so the omni glide is perfect for a full house cleaning too.

[@mat2941]

1:06 i'm pretty sure it ships with 2 wand lengths, specifically for that reason. at least here in Italy

[@ModernCastle]

It certainly did not here in the United States. Just the single wand.

[@Jeo-What]

Thank you for the review. Would you know if any of the V8~V15 attachment would work on it?

[@ModernCastle]

No other V-series attachments will work on it. Omni-glide's wand diameter for the extension wand and attachments is smaller than the standard V-series vacuum size. So it is not compatible with anything except specially made Omni-glide accessories.

[@Jeo-What]

@@ModernCastle smaller.... like V6 and older models?

[@ModernCastle]

@@Jeo-What Even smaller than the V6

[@jogai]

Is the Omni glide good for pet hair ? I got all hardwood floors but also tons of cat hair which I am not sure if the soft rollers are good for.

[@ModernCastle]

You can see our hair cleaning tests here - moderncastle.com/dyson-omni-glide-review/ We did experience a small issue with hair wrapping around one of the axels, but in general we found hair cleaning performance to be excellent.

[@AlanSieja]

Is it possible to mount the charging cradle onto a wall and let this charge while plugged in hanging on the wall?

[@ModernCastle]

Yes. It's intended to be wall mounted. I just leave me on a shelf for convenience.

[@sunshinecycling]

Nice idea...wish in came in a wider size.

[@annagrace4011]

Multiple friends have mentioned their Dyson V8 does not vacuum items against baseboards - it just collects there and then they have to sweep it. Does this model have that issue?

[@ModernCastle]

It does not. Note the open face brushroll. You would just push that open face all the way into the baseboard.

[@annagrace4011]

@@ModernCastle thank you! In your experience snd testing, did you feel the Dyson V8 and/or V10 had this issue?

[@stevendimeglio143]

Do you need to keep the piece under the vacuum on? It is the one that touches the floor in between the rollers

[@ModernCastle]

Yes

[@chiwai13]

Does it work well on cleaning carpets?

[@ModernCastle]

No. It's for hard surface flooring only.

[@bryansmith1992]

Will the Omnidirectional soft roller cleaner head work on the V15 or on the Outsize?

[@ModernCastle]

No. The Omni directional head has a smaller diameter wand. So it will only fit the Omni-glide.

Is your basement 100% hard surface floors and no carpets / rugs? If so, then yes. If no, then it's not.

Is it safe for wet item (sauce, etc)?

[@ModernCastle]

100% no

[@cyssoK]

Woah does this thing stay on without having to hold on to a button the whole time? If so then isn’t that the first dyson model to do that? Didn’t see this mentioned in the video

[@ModernCastle]

That's a good point. And yes, you just hit a button. I think it actually may be the first cordless dyson stick vacuum to do so.

[@hannahngo1233]

would you recommend it for a house? about 1500 sq ft?

[@ModernCastle]

It should be able to cover 1,500 on a single charge. If you have lots of hardwoods then it's definitely worth it.

[@sanaahanaa5475]

So it doesn’t clean over rugs? And why is the handle so weird??

[@ModernCastle]

Correct. Hard surface only. Not sure what you mean by weird handle. The handle is quite a bit thinner than other Dysons we've tested, giving it a lighter weight feel, which I think is a positive.

[@judigustafson7812]

How long does it take to recharge?

[@ModernCastle]

4'ish hours

[@flirtwd]

Buy multiple batteries. Buy two so you’d have three. Each will give u 20 minutes at max so that’s an hour. Done!

[@vincywilson]

Does it work on rugs?

[@ModernCastle]

Sort of, but it's not designed for rugs. Designed for hardwood floor only.

[@LeSeulGarcon]

How does it fair with hair ?

[@ModernCastle]

From our hair cleaning test: We also tested how well the Omni-glide removes hair from hardwoods floors. For these tests, we use synthetic human hair that we spread on the floor and allow the Omni-glide to attempt to remove. In general, the Omni-glide did great. It removed all of the hair from the floor without any issues. The vast majority of the hair went to the dust bin, however, a small portion tangled along the axel. Hair that was ran over closer to the edge of the brushroll had a higher chance of getting wrapped around the axel. The hair wrapped around the axel was still a relatively small portion of the total hair we removed. So while this issue should be expected, I don’t think it’s reflective of a serious cleaning issue.

@@sonnykay2179 Omni-glide doesn't work well nor was it designed for carpets. If you aren't planning on vacuuming that small carpet then it's fine. As far as the size goes, the Omni-glide will be fine in a space that size.

[@Joy-y31]

I have hard wood floors in the whole house, and like many others, we use area rugs in different areas. Judging by the review, this sweeper will not work for that. I guess I will end up needing two items to clean, one for the hardwood floor and other for the area rugs.

[@ModernCastle]

We did end up testing hair after the fact. You can see our hair test in our contextual review here - moderncastle.com/dyson-omni-glide-review/#3-performance

[@epona9166]

@@ModernCastle That hair test is on long synthetic human hair strands. It's pet hair fuzzballs that are an issue for many people.

[@epona9166]

It would help if you had shown the vacuum standing up. Or maybe because of the pivoting head it won't stand up on its own? That's not a small thing, especially if you want to leave it sitting out, but in an out-of-the-way spot to grab and use sporadically throughout the day. Whether it stands or not, I think that should be addressed. Also, maybe it's just me but perhaps you've been doing these reviews too long haha. They're useful and I like the fact that your comments are brief and to the point, not rambling; but the sing-song voice is grating. Also, you don't seem to do pet hair/fuzz bunnies as a standard test. Seeing as how that's probably the biggest vacuuming need in many homes, that would really enhance the reviews.

[@ModernCastle]

The omni-glide does not stand up on its own. You'll need to lean it up against something or use the wall pound. moderncastle.com/dyson-omni-glide-review/ - if you go here you can see our pet hair tests, which we added after publishing this video.

[@SC-ls3iv]

I charge the battery separately and the vacuum parts can easily be stored in a cabinet, on a shelf in a closet, or even a drawer if it's a large drawer.

[@IBoughtItMyself]

Does no one who does these reviews live with people or pets with hair?

[@ModernCastle]

I do live with a long-haired wife who leaves some hair around. The problem is finding a way to test removal in an objective and repeatable way. We do have a hair removal test we've been doing (where we use synthetic hair) on our more typical vacuum tests. I guess I thought it wouldn't be as relevant for this type of a vacuum. But perhaps that was misguided. I'll be testing products this next week. I will do a hair test and add it to this page - moderncastle.com/dyson-omni-glide-review/
