Dyson V12 vs. V15: Why You Should Downgrade to the V12

[@cindyb3028]

I’m a professional housekeeper and I currently use a cheaper cordless vacuum for work. It’s great for hard wood but lacks the suction power on carpet unless I use the turbo mode which drains the battery fast. One of my clients purchased a Dyson Outsize. After using it, I saw just how much more powerful it was compared to mine. I decided to purchase my own so I’m doing research to see which model would be the best fit for me. I’m only 5ft, 98lbs and the Outsize is too heavy for me and I don’t like having to push the trigger button. I’ve been thinking about v11 and v15 but after this review I might have to consider the v12. Thank you for the detailed, informative review.👍

[@camsecore]

Do it!

[@allbreedsk9dogtraining420]

After checking Dyson's site and watching your thorough review, I decided to buy a V12. I live in an apartment with hardwood floors and area rugs. The light and having a power button instead of needing to hold the trigger down are what sealed the deal for me. Thanks for the detailed review!😊

[@codeerdev]

I was thinking about getting V15, but I’ll probably go for V12 thanks to your video! Thank you!

[@ewmurphy]

I bought 2x V12 and extra batts recently. Weight is the key attribute among tradeoffs. Pointless V15 being superpowerful but difficult to hold and manoeurve for long, deep "DETECT" clean due to its heayweight - the very purpose of the laser detect theme. In Asia, users are relatively petite and homes have more hard floors and fewer carpets. Sleeky fluffy roller works far more agilely and effectively over torque motorhead roller in this regard, esp when the latter torque head was modelled after older versions and not V15. V12 was launched after V15 proves the point. Obvious lack of deeper understanding on the priority of attributes important to users thorough consumer research. Suction power isn't everything! Stronger suction also means noisier!

[@camsecore]

I really didn’t see the V15 weight as a huge concern originally. But I’m feeling differently after using the V12 along with reading the comments from my previous V15 review.

[@ewmurphy]

@@camsecore Elderlies using it will feel the difference.

This is one of the best Vacuum comparisons between V12 and V15. I was about to buy V12 for vacuuming rugs and hard floors, but you changed my mind. V12 is not powerful enough to deep clean rugs/carpets. I really wanted a V15 because it has more suction power, but I don't like the trigger on it. It will be best to wait until Dyson upgrades V15 to have a push button start/stop option.

[@lgvdbroek]

"This is one of the best Vacuum comparisons between V12 and V15" 100% agree !!!! I had gone for the V15 but have now opted for the V12. The reason: - lighter in weight, - You don't have to hold down the button. - Dirt removal from V15 container is more difficult because it is longer, and that is difficult if you have small hands. - Only have hard floors, so don't need a lot of suction power like with carpet.

[@gingersmith9953]

They aren't going to add an on/off button to the V15. They have a new model out in some places called the Gen5Detect. More powerful than the V15 and comes with the click in batteries and the on off button.

[@safisadula1625]

​@@gingersmith9953when will this new model come?

[@dejablu58]

I just borrowed my neighbors V 15 detect. I have a mix of carpets and hardwood floors. I absolutely loved the dustbin and how easy it was to release, it powered through the carpets. The only thing that is keeping me back this time that finger trigger. I have arthritis in my right hand, and I am concerned. for the price I wanna be madly in love. I think I will wait as well.

[@lisbethsalvati9175]

Same for me!

[@imadethis9949]

Hey great video! I just wanted to point out that you are severely over filling the bin on the V12 when you are vacuuming. With how much hair and dirt that was in your bin it should have been emptied 2-3 times. The reason all the dirt and hair gets stuck when you are emptying it is because you are going way over the max fill line which clogs up the bin and bypasses the cyclones making any fine dust and dirt go straight to the filter

[@camsecore]

If that's the case, I'd have to empty the bin every 15 seconds? That's just naturally where hair ends up for me. In the scenarios demo'd, there was hardly anything in the bottom of the bin.

[@gingersmith9953]

If all your dirt is ending up at the top of the bin, try wiping out your bin and sheath with a non static cloth.

[@Teeyah2]

I finally got my V12. Absolutely luv it!! Everything you said is absolutely true. The small dust bin and battery life are not an issue. Thank you for your fantastic review. It was the thing that tipped me in the direction to get the machine. So far one of my best purchases ever .😊😊😊

[@anita77771]

@Teeyah2 Are you still happy with your purcase of V12?

[@peterbouncersoto1166]

Picked up the v12 for my apartment and very happy with it. The laser does a great job of showing where there’s dust and even though the cleaning lady did the carpets using her vacuum my v12 picked up a ton of my girls hair and nastiness that her regular vacuum left behind.

[@thedavidj1996]

I received my V12 yesterday and used it last night. I have a dog and a small apartment, and I frequently vacuum my bed, office chair, car, and other above floor fabrics so the small size is perfect for me. It’s great so far!

[@duncanmcleod39]

The reason there is no power button is to conserve battery power. I personally believe they could have made all of the V models with removable batteries and two batteries per device. I guess its all about the cost in the end.

[@Wolfsheim23]

Am I crazy to wonder why a BUTTON on/off switch is considered such a great "innovation" from a company known for the most advanced tech in Vacuums available? How could they miss this so long?

[@camsecore]

It's definitely funny because it's not innovative at all. My guess is Dyson went with the trigger for all those years to preserve the most amount of battery while they were waiting for the battery efficiency of the motor to improve. Engineering is about trade-offs.

[@Wolfsheim23]

@@camsecore Good point, although don't most things use more power by starting and stopping constantly vs just staying on over the same period?

[@camsecore]

@@Wolfsheim23 I don't think with battery powered devices, but I'm also an idiot.

[@minwade5436]

Having arthritis an off/on button rather than constantly pressing a trigger is a way better option imo.

[@Gabe791]

The best option that I can see, but probably way easier said than done for reasons I can’t think of, is having both a trigger and an on off switch. When the switch is off, the trigger turns it on, when the switch is on, the trigger turns it off. Too good to be true I know but to me that would be the ideal vacuum.

[@Wolfsheim23]

Thanks man, totally convinced me I would be happier with a V12. Plus, and this is a big plus. My young daughter can help and use the V12 where the V15 would probably be too much for her.

I have a bad back & can't use my upright anymore. My friend suggested a Dyson, she has the v15. I was almost going to buy it at Costco on sale for $499 but decided to do some research. I saw that the v12 was lighter & had the on/off button. I was pretty sure that's what I was going to buy, but to make sure, I went to her house today to try out the v15. No way. Too heavy & I kept changing hands. You are WAY stronger than I, & to hear that you change hands often was a bit surprising, but comforting. Thanks so much for this video, because I know I will buy the right model.

[@holohulolo]

I wa really weighing between v15 and v12 but decided to go woth the v12 and still, I still think about how much nicer the uscction power would be. But the main thing was I knew that even some 500grams difference in weight would be significantly different when you use it more than a few minutes. And if youre using it for more or less daily house maintenance an ocassional mess i knew the v12 would be the better choice. At first, not knowing how much suction it really is, i thought the sucction was pretty weak, but whwn i tried it, it really is because of that well designed attachment that made it effective. And if the sucction were stronger it wouldve definitely been heavier as well so its kind fo a sweet spot. But in the furture, i hope they standardised all the attachments, so if you have one beig used for year and broke down or something youd be able to have spare attachments if you buy the newer model. Also im glad to hear that the suction dont eally feel different in eco or medium because, i thought the v15 can sort of run on the same suction power as the v12 on its turbo mode, while on the v15 medium mode that would mran you can vacuum at the suction power of v12 turbo for 8x the duration and that wouldve made it more difficult to choose between the 2. Also it would be perfect if theyre able to also make it possible for you to connect the charger and use it, so you can use the turbo mode longer, even if its limited because the heating might be an issue its still would've been better than having it under10mims.

[@upy0ur5]

Im thinking of getting my mom the v12 for mothers day to replace her Shark Rotator Professional series vacuum. I hope the power is at least comparable but she needs it for the light weight as she is getting old. This video sold me on the v12.

You explained all the aspects of each vacuum with the good points from your own experience in the real world which was really helpful.

Great review, your old school, top relevant information covered concisely, with your opinion and insight along the way and at the end.

I wish they didn't sell their parts and supplies at such high prices, especially the filters. I got some aftermarket extra filters from Amazon, but those make me a little uneasy (fiberglass quality control, etc) and I probably won't buy anymore.

I had a Dyson DC17 Animal for 16 years! But I just bought a V15 Detect because it was so much lighter. I'm getting older and lighter is better for me now. I watched your review just to see what the differences are. I'm sure I bought the right one because I have cats and lots of cat hair. I think the larger dustbin will help, but it is much smaller than the DC17 Animal which is .66 gallons. Even with the .66 dustbin, I usually had to empty it at least twice during a vacuuming session. As for the handheld on the new machine, I'm probably going to keep my Dyson V6 Handheld because it is smaller and lighter and works great. Thanks for the review. Very helpful.

​@@camsecore Tried it out for the first time today and the V15 Detect very well, but what surprised me is that it did wear out my arm pushing it around on carpet. My old DC17 Animal was easier because the floor tool had more self-propulsion on carpet. And I think I'd rather have an on/off button rather than the trigger. But I still think the Dyson V15 Detect is a very good vacuum so I have no regrets. I also liked the light on the hard floor tool. It was very helpful to see the dust on the floor and see it gone after a pass. Tomorrow I'm going to test out the dusting tool. Fun times! lol! Oh and I still had battery life after doing half of my house. The dust bin was adequate too.

Thanks for great information. I am still using a very old DC35 cordless and a DC54 ball vacuum. I want to get one of the current Dyson sticks to replace both. I looked at everything from the V8 to the V15 and think the V15 is the way to go for me, for these reasons: 1. Our dog sheds a lot of hair, but my wife is way worse, and it’s long, thick hair. (She agrees, and will laugh if she reads this). 2. Our house is medium size, but two levels, so bin size matters for emptying. 3. We have some big, deep pile rugs, so power matters. 4. I don’t get enough exercise as it is, so I welcome the workout, my wife feels the same. Your video helped with our decision and I think the V12 is a great addition to the range, for a lot of people. For us, it will be the V15.

[@emikawaneru666]

Suction is the most important thing for me, as I have 4 cats who shed 2 other kittens worth of hair every day and very very uneven floors Seems like v15 would be the best choice, but I'm sad it's heavy and you have to hold the button Maybe I'll wait another year or 5 till they make my dream vacuum

[@miniskiipperi]

Just got my v15 recently and as a small and definitely not muscular woman I find it super easy to use. Holding the button doesn't bother me even though first I thought it would. Suction was also important to me as I have a cat too. It did an amazing job on my rugs, sofa and bed. I have a Dyson DC37 which I used prior getting the v15 and it was very heavy and difficult to use when vacuuming upholstery. So compared to that using v15 feels so easy and fun! 😊

On tiles for example is just changing all the time.

I wish they have both the option to press or click turn on. Sometimes I just need a very quick clean up where the press would be great - especially when vacuuming my car. Majority of my house is carpet and we have 3 women with long hair so I think the V15 is better suited but I rather go with the V12 for the weight n lower price. I think the V15 with it's price just isn't worth it. I have never had a vacuum that could actually vacuum up majority of the hair from carpet despite what the ads/reviewers says it can do - and thus I doubt the V15 can actually do that too.

[@philipp594]

This is not acurate for pet owners. The v6 / v7 / v8 style vacuums will trap hair in the inlet and in the container. The digital motorbar anti tangle head is great too. Nothing gets stuck there. Go for the v15. Yes it is heavier but you have no hazzle with that one. The hair gets stuck in the V12 because there is less space between the container and motor unit, similar to v6 / v7 / v8 or the container is way to full. there is max marking on the side. You don't want the content to go over the silicon ring around the bottom of the motor unit.

[@camsecore]

Inaccurate in what way? My recommendation for owners of pets is the V15.

[@Nxqtune]

Controversial opinion: the push button is better. Reason: When vacuuming, it tends to turn off and on more, allowing you to quickly talk to people instead of finding the power button and turning it off. It makes if feel more like a gun firing then a computer turning on.

[@MuffyohMuffy]

thank you so much for this video. I was really stuck in between V12 vs V15. Ultimately chose V12 primarily because. 1. My parents love to vacuum, so weight is a huge factor, 2. The fact that there is a button to switch on & off instead of the always press on the trigger button set up on the V15 3. I live in an apartment, i dont need such a huge tank for dirt - Even if it gets full, its just a 10sec job to get the dirt out 4. Mostly hard floor, have a few carpets in the house but thats alright. I know V15 cleans better for carpet, but i am fine with just a basic cleaning on carpets. 5. Compact and cool head attachements - i think thats pretty sweet! 6. Never tried a Dyson product, but excited to give it a shot after my phillips cordless vacuum died on me Cant wait for it to arrive and test it out. Cheers everyone!

Several mentions/comparisons of the V10, but not a word on the V11? I've seen a couple of reviews that conclude the V11 performs better than the V12 & certainly better than the V10. I'm doing research before retiring my V8 & getting a V11, 12 or 15, but so far I'm leaning toward the V11, as reviews favor it and it's way less expensive. Sticker shock is an issue many have with Dysons, so shopping for a remanufactured or an open box (but new) Dyson you'll find lower prices.

[@camsecore]

The V11 is great! kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z5POnHeNeM2Ih7c

Hi how would the V12 compare to V15 with marbled tiled floors, dogs (2 l/h mini dachshunds) & only a couple of area rugs please. I have spinal, neck & shoulder injuries wondering how the trigger Vs press button would go? Thx great vlog. Best wishes from Adelaide; South Australia🇦🇺💐

[@camsecore]

I’d probably go with the V12 in your case, but you’ll likely be happy with either.

[@kelsikennedy6796]

Perhaps Dyson could include "dust bin tweezers" to reach into the deeper bin on the v15

[@camsecore]

The bin slides off completely, but it’s kind of a hassle.

[@TorturedBrainyManiac]

Thank you for that video! Helped me decide to go with V12 instead of the V15!

[@camsecore]

Nice! Thanks for watching!

[@rsbff4521]

Really helpful and thorough comparison, thanks!

[@camsecore]

Thanks for watching!

[@michaelmeier1138]

I bought a V12 but didn't realize spare batteries would be impossible to find in the US. Are the V12 and V15 batteries interchangeable?

[@camsecore]

It won't work.

[@ianmclean5541]

Is there any difference in suction between the regular V12 and the V12 Absolute?

[@camsecore]

No

[@neringa757]

what is the suction power for each mode? V12

[@marieroberts2026]

isn't having to change vacuum heads from floor to carpet a pain though? I almost think I'd rather move the plug from room to room.

[@camsecore]

I guess it depends on your home. We do all the hard floors with the fluffy, then go back and do our three of area carpets we have with the other head.

[@karlgren74]

Will long hair and fur get stuck in the vacumcleaner (v12) head for carpet’s? Or is it a cam that stop long hair and fur to get stuck like it is on V15?

[@camsecore]

It has similar anti-tangle tech as the V15 's head.

[@memmis2006]

Thank you very much for the review. Quite insightful

[@zainabnoori1001]

I want to buy V12 but it has two options: Dyson V12 Detect Slim™ Absolute And V12 Detect Slim™ Which one should I get?

[@camsecore]

I'm pretty sure the only difference is that the Absolute has a HEPA filter instead of a regular filter. The Absolute didn't exist at the time of this video.

[@workhardforit]

I should probably work for Dyson. The button at the top should have been located in an indentation in the body of the vacuum (upper left and right side of the handle, top of the thumb) where it can’t be triggered accidentally and can be pressed intentionally with an upward motion of the thumb. Plus, they should have implemented a strip of capacitive sensor in the handle (the red line thingy) so the vacuum will turn itself off when the user has let go of the handle. Effing Dyson, after all that engineering and overcharging you’d expect them to come up with this kinda sh**. (v12 user)

[@Msluv2001]

I can’t use my Dyson V15 in a carpets, why do you think it is? 😕 any suggestions ? Thanks

[@camsecore]

A thin carpet? Which suction mode? Which head?

[@bigvmanny]

This was a super helpful video. Thx.

[@GOLFADDICT65]

i just ordered this V15 detect at 799 ( canadian ) 580 ( US )....is that a good deal ? was 200 off ( regular 999 canadian ). I went to a Dyson store and tried them all and i liked the V15 , the trigger was so easy I don't think it will be an issue at all...cheers from Vulcan Canada

[@camsecore]

I think you did well!

[@ReelLife97]

I rather get the V15 and even outperforms the Gen5 in terms of airflow sucking up dirt.

[@midnighttrain7844]

thanks for sharing，，just got my v12 today

[@camsecore]

Nice!

[@zish4k]

I can understand your pain, my wife sheds alot too

[@camsecore]

Haha it's brutal!

[@orangechip]

This video really helps me save money! Thanks for your honest video

[@scottbrady4472]

Do you think the gen5 is the best of both worlds(minus the larger size)

[@camsecore]

Not really. In my experience, the light-weightedness is more important than the button. Gen5's have a V15 body.

[@heidrunvogelbacher4657]

I have big problems with my v15 detct. The First 3 month Everything was super but than he startet pulsing when I started boostmodus and short after He stops. Never ever can make the bin full. About 3 cm and then He Stop and say something ist blocking, no Eversthing is OK. Dyson changed the bin that was a Joke. Next time ingot a new Dyson. I was so Happy but only short time, the same Thing, pulsing and Stop. Now IT IS the 4 th time I send IT Back. After every cleaning i wash the Filter even He IS Clean. My flat has 50 qm. and I have a Cat. So its Not much to do for the Dyson. I am 77 and I am afraid the Dyson return and IT Starts fromm the begin.😢

[@apocMTL]

I’m happy that he’s being appreciated for what he’s good at. #TeamRuss

[@XxsoonerbornxX]

The v12 bin is just too small.

[@joramsim]

just go to a bin and empty it inbetween :D

[@39exposures]

Lovely review, thanks!

[@Rawk10]

It's a great idea to come to the kitchen and spread the dust and dirt you collected from the whole house!

[@camsecore]

Not ideal.

[@HiCZoK]

is the v12 you are talking about a slim version ?

[@camsecore]

The full name is the "V12 Detect Slim," yes.

[@robertbutler7745]

what battery fits the v12 ?

[@pnjwck]

Really nice review man! Thanks

[@chitsb]

Extremely useful video. Thanks 🙏

[@georgecav]

V15 collection bi is too small if you have ant kind of carpet that sheds and it fills up above the half way line efore eedingto which adyson say you are not supposed to do. The presenter failed to show there is a button on the v15 collector that you can press to remove it totally which is inelegant but makes it easier to empty than fishing by hand. V12 for carpet that sheds would be useless with its tiny collection bin. V15 is noticeably heavy and for our medium density triexta carpet has more than enough suction ob eco mode and with the brush head set to least powerful setting

[@thelooseeko]

Great review. Thank you so much.

[@JUALIJU]

Thank you

[@payperview714]

Received my V12 today. I own a V8...I had great expectation for the laser light. First comment..it's so disappointing and to me worthless. I use a high powered flashlight to check dust and there is no comparison..I've just done a few tests and the V12 doesn't blow the V8 away by any means. I don't have a large space but the smaller dust bin is another negative. I'll run some more comparisons but so far, The V8 more than holds it own. Very surprised! BTW, my apartment is all hardwood floors with an 8 x 7 area rug. There's not a huge difference on the hardwood floor and again, I was really looking forward to the laser light which as said is a gimmick that doesn't work well especially compared to a high powered floor level flashlight.

[@chrisshao6425]

excellent review. thanks so much

[@camsecore]

Thanks for watching!

[@smontyjbaruch7960]

Is there an extension hose for the V12?

[@camsecore]

I don't think so.

[@jdubs604]

I got the V15 cuz i have thick carpets. That extra power makes a yuge difference.

[@RichardShelton]

That was a GREAT review! Thank you.

[@jackward-m2y]

outstanding review, many thanks !

[@javierv7tube]

Fantastic review. Thanks!

[@flamewave0]

V8 has way better method to clean dust bin and its bigger, I wonder about durability if move advanced models are more prompt to failure outside warranty? I had V8 for 7 years and looking for new vacuum I think about buying again V8 because of durability & simplicity.

[@camsecore]

I've tested six Dyson models over the last five years, then I usually sell some of them after the review, so I'm not a great judge of longevity. I owned my V15 for about 2 years and I've had my V12 about 1.5 years without issues. I tested the V8 about five years ago and it has very similar build quality to the modern models. All of this to say, that I can't conclusively say anything, but I don't think you'll see a difference in longevity between the newer models and the V8.

[@flamewave0]

@@camsecore thanks for the comment decided to buy again never version of V8. Can afford V12 but it would have to be better in every aspect from V8 for me to spect twice as much V8 was $350 and V12 for $650

[@camsecore]

Makes sense to me!

[@jamesluft5792]

Great video! Thank you!
