What an AMAZING HONEST DETAILED REVIEW!!! as i was having mild regrets after other reviews. But more confident now.

[@VacuumFacts]

The disgraceful and complete lack of quality, detail, and thoroughness in other reviews required me to do a proper job with mine.

[@ryr635]

Great highlighting crucial points and differences. I never knew such improvements were made on the v15 so I'm definitely getting their top model. Your a great Dyson enthusiast!

[@VacuumFacts]

It's a disgrace there's nowhere on the internet, let alone YT where you can find that out either. If you want a job doing right... The Gen5 advancements are covered in its review as well. The next model looks to substantially revolutionise many areas as well, whenever it's released. Also, I'm not a "Dyson enthusiast"; I'm a technology enthusiast. It just happens that Dyson are the only one pushing the technology and so get all the attention. The rest just copy at the customers' expense.

Love this video. Would have liked to see more about using the accessories though, most were not even mentioned. Also, would like to know more about when to clean filter, how long to dry and is there a notification on the display for this ? Will check if you have any other videos on this.

[@VacuumFacts]

The accessories that came with the machine were reviewed in the video. Since its release, other extra accessories were made available. These are reviewed in the subsequent model kzbin.info/www/bejne/apKvYZiAmtOHp9k . Information about filters is found in the manual available from Dyson's website, although several videos on my channel cover this in detail, e.g. kzbin.info/www/bejne/imTTo4uIYsaYhck . Dyson recommend leaving it to dry for 24 hours (or until it's obviously dry). (They're bringing out technology in the future on the filter which will tell you when it's dry.) If you put it back in the machine wet, it will mould. Their latest machine is reviewed here kzbin.info/www/bejne/bajEZIaojc1gZtU. Future technology in the works is discussed here kzbin.info/www/bejne/oojTlX5oaJmLnLc and in its pinned comment.

What a fantastic review. Love that you apply common sense where others don't. The "big pickup" test has always been a pet peeve of mine where reviewers expect a vacuum to act like a dustpan and brush!

[@VacuumFacts]

Only the other day I was badmouthed for claiming some other popular reviews are poor (which they are) and that I make up complaints that there is misleading content out there, such as the silly big mess tests. And then your comment instantly demonstrates my point entirely.

[@blackice7408]

Great review. The only thing I didn't know that was new on the v15 was the finer smaller holed shroud. The only thing I wished dyson would've done was make the shroud smaller like on the outsize. That would've done a few things - increase dirt capacity, increase the internal centrifugal spinning forces generated within the bin, reduce the amount of fine dirt coming through, decrease the amount of dirt and hair wrapped around the shroud, and more dirt would've been separated from the dirty air mix coming in the bin

[@VacuumFacts]

I'd prefer it if they used the bin design on their final cylinder model, as mentioned in the review, given how much better it is. Even Shark blatently copied it like a cheeky scammer in their cordless models.

[@Audittr2108]

Great detailed review. I just got a V15 refurbished from Dyson for £370 on a Bkack Friday deal. It’s a great machine and for that price it’s exceptional!

[@nufsioohay]

Thanks for the in-depth review! Even though you praise Dyson for leading in the cordless industry with the V10, V11 and now the V15, you still point out their faults. Now that the V15 is out, the V11 looks like a good deal for those who don't have a wireless vacuum. I got the V11 outsize because of your in-depth reviews. Thanks!

[@georgipartsalev6193]

A truly excellent review. I enjoyed every minute of it. Thank you!

[@matthewfelix1851]

I for one appreciate how you call out crap other channels do. Many of these vacuum fanatics tend to forget that regular people don’t run exaggerated pick-up tests at home, instead they do actual cleaning. Real life usage is nothing like these test, and most KZbinrs don’t even focus on aspects that are relevant in home cleaning, and which sometimes are only detectable after long time usage.

[@VacuumFacts]

Yes, I've always been hostile to misleading nonsense that adversely affects others. This whole channel is about exposing all the tricks, deceit, and half truths, and I try to provide what should be told-a representative full truth. And the level of hate I've received by those whose deception has been rumbled, and wonky worldview crushed, has been substantial. Not that any of it caused me to bat an eyelid. I hope to continue to put them all in their place.

[@mousec3775]

I received mine yesterday, and I couldn't be more pleased. Everything works splendidly. I love it! My DC59 Motorhead gave me five years of fabulous service and finally kicked the bucket late last year. I've been forced into using a Shark corded monstrosity since then and it's been driving me crazy. Once you experience the ease and efficiency of cord free vacuuming, you can never go back without feeling like you're dragging an anchor around while cleaning the floors. My new V15 is a weight off of my once again unburdened shoulders, and my days of carefree vacuuming freedom are back again. Thanks Dyson, for such a quality product. House cleaning chores will never be my favorite things, but this machine makes the carpet and floor cleaning ones as close to a pleasure as I believe they'll ever come.

[@VacuumFacts]

Yeah, I have to confess I'm happier with the V15 over the V11 despite being a bit noisier.

If dyson were somehow able to make their stick vacuums cinetic capable but the only way they could do it was to make them corded (because you need to maintain a certain airflow to make the tips vibrate properly and to combat the big restriction that the very small tips make and battery power just won't do) would you buy it?

[@VacuumFacts]

I wouldn't base buying decisions on specific individual elements. I'd look at the entire product as a whole and make a decision.

[@TheFunkloft]

Any idea how Dyson's release cycle works? In the market for a cordless cleaner and willing to spend a few but I'm afraid a new product is about to release.

[@VacuumFacts]

No idea; look at their release history. Lockdowns screwed things up too. Plus their competitors are not providing much in the way of technological competition either. Save up and patiently wait, or be impatient and buy whatever you want; your choice.

[@RR-SF]

Just bought my v15 yesterday. I have a 8x10 rug I cleaned on high with my v7 animal. I went maybe 3-4 passes then I used the v15 high settings and wow, the v15 picked up so much dust particles after only 2 passes. I was so surprised but also excited because I knew then that the v15 was worth the price for me.

[@VacuumFacts]

Yeah, the V7 was only designed for 'quick pickups', whereas the V15 is a true mains replacement that's more convenient with smarter bitesized use. Auto mode should only ever really be used though; reactive suction optimises the cleaning power needed.

[@appleloss]

what do you think about "dust catch" in v15's bin? It catches dust indeed, but dust gets higher and higher so that dust go to metal mesh even bin is not full at all.

[@VacuumFacts]

I've no idea what you mean by "dust catch". Can you evidence that "dust gets higher and higher so that dust go to metal mesh even bin is not full at all" and explain what the consequences of this are, again with evidence?

[@appleloss]

@@VacuumFacts Thanks for comment. imgur.com/gallery/bj6Dssc Other part of bin is empty in this img. But this part have dust catch which stops dust and block main bin's airflow .

[@VacuumFacts]

@@appleloss The photo does not show evidence that airflow is blocked or performance is impaired. It shows the user simply needs to empty the bin properly after use.

[@appleloss]

@@VacuumFacts you can see the triangle shaped dust stick on metal mesh in the photo. This triangle was made because airflow at lower part of bin is blocked by dust which caught by dust catch. I just wonder why this dust catch even exist. If there is no dust catch, dust will keep spin at lower part of bin until bin is full, so that no big dust will stick to metal mesh.

[@VacuumFacts]

@@appleloss The mesh keeps larger particles in the bin. The time between bin fills is insufficient to completely block the entire shroud surface area, and emptying cleans it. It simply doesn't ever clog up with responsible, normal usage. The black rubber skirt keeps dirt back if tipped upside down (e.g. above floor cleaning), and the flow streamlines also help with that. There's no problem here, and certainly no evidence of one.

Hi, I never recommend specific vacuums for people; there are many hypersensitive people that grace my comments just looking for the chance to accuse me of being biased towards [not their favourite vacuum brand]. I'd recommend watching the reviews on my channel, looking for solid evidence (rather than opinions, which can be biased) elsewhere as well, and making your own informed decision.

Yes, I've been disappointed at the other reviews. Slap-dash and missing lots of details people actually want to know about. You get the feeling many out there only review things to 'grow their channel' (read: make more money at your expense from annoying adverts). And that's when they're not gifted one for free to sell out for a bribe review. Gone are the days where people do things because they care. And yes, I don't like spending that much cash, but you get what you pay for, as with everything. Plus there's a 35 day money back guarantee. In the US, they even just released a V15+ version with an even better filter and in-built crevice tool inside the wand.

The service person told me that it is just the crevice tool that made it cost more. I do think they need to change their wording though as it is confusing.

Found ONE at a local Target. Dyson, the company had none. This thing is picking up stuff every time as though we lived in a dust bowl. What I don't like. 1. No light with the standard brush- what's with that???. I bought mini stick on lights on Amazon. I stuck one to the front of the brush. Works well. 2. You have to continuously hold the power button to vacuum. My finger felt like it was going numb in about 10 minutes. Found a $10 switch lock on Amazon. Easy to attach and works flawlessly. Push right to on and left to off. What in the world doesn't this come standard on a $750 vacuum. Those 2 items make this machine almost perfect.

[@VacuumFacts]

The disadvantages of the hacks proposed are fully addressed in the video.

[@parwaz7861]

Since the V10 is a mains replacement, imagine having a V8 that has adequate enough runtime on MAX for someone's needs, would you say that is a suitable mains replacement since it has the same head as the V10 but more suction than the V10 on mode 1? The V8 is very similar bar the redesigned handheld unit

[@VacuumFacts]

Ive not tested it (and never will), but according to Dyson, it isn't.

[@VacuumFacts]

It's amazing how the most hyped features ended up being the most trivially cosmetic and least useful. The laser and particle counter were splash-marketed...and of course sold like hotcakes. The really useful features that actually make a noticeable improvement (reactive suction, head tweaks, improved cyclones and filtration) went literally unnoticed.

[@Nikkuuu69]

What I noticed on my V11 is that the torque drive head vibrates a bit, which is transferred into our hard wood floor and it becomes so noticable I can even feel it in my feet. Is this normal? I messaged dyson and got a replacement torque drive head, but it's fully identical in sound and how much it vibrates, so I figured this is how it's supposed to be, and it does work amazing on carpet, but I've been considering getting the fluffy head just because I think it'll vibrate less. I don't want to drive the people living below us crazy...

[@VacuumFacts]

Yeah. Because it's a powerful high torque rotating system that makes contact with the ground, it will vibrate. The fluffy head, while not achieving anything the high torque head doesn't, is much lower in power (15 W [30 for V11] rather than 100) and therefore quieter (its only advantage). But the disadvantage is that you've then got to store two heads, carry them around, switch them in and out. Hassle. It's presumably noisy on carpet as well to some degree. I think it's just the nature of the beast.

[@VacuumFacts]

Also, if on hard floor, you open the front gates on the head, it will stop the head clamping to the floor and may help reduce vibration, in case you haven't already done that. Possibly try using eco mode on hard floor too. I can't imagine that's it's too noticeable for anyone living below you, even though it may appear louder to you...unless it's like 3am or something.

[@Nikkuuu69]

@@VacuumFacts Thanks for the quick response! I'm moving in a new apartment next month which is fully hard wooden floors, so in that case I only have to stick to the fluffy roller head, and I'll use the mini motorized tool for the stairs and couch etc. It was just interesting because nobody has ever mentioned vibration in the reviews, and I spent hours on Google with little results, but my initial thought was that Dyson shipped me a faulty cleaner head, which was not the case. Their customer service was great, and I had the new (and identical) cleaner head in about 2 days. Keep up the video's by the way, I absolutely love watching them.

[@TheSpyNZ]

What would you recommend? We currently have a V10 (secondary vaccum for quick cleanups) which we love along with a robotic vaccum (primary vaccum that runs once a week but PITA to clean the hair tangles and small bin after every run). Our home is large size with 95% laminate and 5% tiles flooring so no carpets. We currently use the fluffy head on V10. Would you recommend Outsize model or the new V15 total detect clean? Fluffy head or the torque head cleaner? Seems like V15 fluffy head cleaner is slightly better? Outsize and V15 both comes with the new anti tangle hair screw tool in my country

[@VacuumFacts]

I don't recommend specific products. I prefer to recommend people learn about the technology and products out there and make their own informed decision. In general, the more modern the product from a given manufacturer, the better. On the Dyson cordless line, the 'V15 detect complete' is their latest flagship product with the latest technologies. The outsize models don't have anti-hair wrap combs on the main head as far as I can tell, or the crevice/dusting combo embedded within the wand.

[@nirajpathak3614]

@Vacuum Facts - i have high pile carpets in my home where the V15 stalls on anything other than eco mode with the gates fully open. do you reckon this still deep cleans the deep pile carpet well?

As well as possible since the carpet is clearly significantly resisting airflow. You'd have to do a careful, representative, comparative empirical measurement to know for certain.

And it does so with a fraction of the power consumption and weight.

Good morning thank you for great review. Please tell me is it true that on v15 and any other cordless vaccum cleaner problem is with battery ? Need to exchange for new one every 3 years and the battery is quite expensive ? And also after 1 year of using the vaccum the battery is weaker and is effect of suction ? Thank you

[@VacuumFacts]

Hi, I'm aware of no evidence that when treated properly and as directed in the manual, the battery needs replacing in 3 years. It will if it has been abused (e.g. using in boost mode all the time). My battery showed no evidence of any loss of performance after 2 years with the V11, and my older DC35 worked for several years 'as new'. Only those that abuse them encourage premature failure, so always make sure any claims it's a problem are backed up with strong evidence (they never are; it's all propaganda). Dyson batteries and how they compare with knock-off coptycat competitors are shown here kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z2LEmKSPZ8xkqK8

[@HCG]

Does using Boost mode on the V15 still increase filtration performance like it did on the previous generation?

[@VacuumFacts]

Yes (up to the pre-motor filter), but not by an amount you'd really notice in general use in the home.

[@RobbinGitarist]

Hey, just a question. The v15 had 230 airwatts. I bouht a v11 yesterday at Dyson. A v11 torque drive extra. Dyson says it has 220 airwatts. (im from Europe). Do you know tje difference between the normal v11 torque and the 'extra'?

[@VacuumFacts]

Air watts are a measure of above floor potential and dont related to carpet cleaning performance since many other factors need to be considered. This is covered on my channel. I would ignore the parameter.

[@itsdannyftw]

Great video thanks. Crazy how solid-state batteries are still not yet ready at a mass-production scale - you can imagine the amount of R&D going into it (given the competition on who can get the solid state batteries out in front first), not only with Dyson, but automotive industries as well (Toyota has invested heaps since 2014-2015). But once it's out, can imagine the positive impacts it will have across many other industries which rely on batteries - more run time, faster charge times!

[@kimlorenz7830]

Indeed, I've also enjoyed watching this because of the in depth review. Thank you! I also would like to mention and ask about the outsize. We are running a small family accommodation and my plan was to use the v15 + outsize head as our main units (there will be 2 in total). Our room design is focused on not having furniture etc. lying on the floor so vacuuming and mopping is more effective. The outsize is unnecessarily heavy but has similar power as the V15 - that's why I had the idea of using the outsize head on the V15 machine. Would you considering reviewing this specific combination of tools? Or do you have any thoughts on that?

[@VacuumFacts]

The outside main unit is only 0.5 kg heavier than the normal sized unit. The outsize head probably will work with the V15 but I'm not 100%. But the outsize head doesn't have the antihair wrap tech and, to my knowledge, is generally recycled V11 technology. Being bigger, it can get the job done faster.

[@kimlorenz7830]

@@VacuumFacts Thank you. The outsize head works with the V15 I just couldn't find any more info about it and hoped you might have some insight in that :) I'll say that saving 500g will be worth it for us as the dyson will be carried around a lot (2 floors), picked up, put down, etc.. Furthermore the wider head, agreed - being bigger so getting the job done faster = saving the time of the guest, saving our time and money. I hope the hairs will not be that big of an issue - getting small stones stuck in the antihair wrap tech might balance out the advantage as we have quite a lot of small stones around the house (from the street). I will try to make an update on that if I get hands on the V15. Let's see, maybe it's going to be an outsize and a V15.

[@marcelbruinsma]

VERY informative, thank you!

[@zodiacfml]

14:40 glad you pointed out that fluffy/hard floor head is terrible with small objects. i bought a Dyson replacement head just a week ago and hacked it to work to another brand vacuum. It just eats everything in the way like electric plugs, toys, rugs, or slippers. The huge roller is also a weakness on edges and corners, also caused by weaker suction vs a sealed head. It also has the tendency to fling/kick away hard, tiny debris, my daily vac has become longer due to this. Right now, I don't see any advantage to the soft roller except for very one thing, large debris but one can simply put the floor head on top of the debris or just manually with pick it up or sweep it away.

[@VacuumFacts]

Yeah, good point actually. The old kludge of putting the head on top of an object too big to fit under the head to suck it up anyway if needed. Anything big enough to be picked up by hand probably should be. Or at least, criticising any vacuum for getting blocked after you try and fail to suck up a brick is no valid criticism.

[@zodiacfml]

I want to try out the v15. I have the v11 outsize and I like it. But it didn’t outperform anything special in my deep clean test. I personally don’t think it can replace your full sized upright. But it Definitely is a really good stick vacuum and can work as a main vacuum in smaller places or places that have lower pile carpet. I think the price is a bit high, but it’s Dyson. Everything is really expensive from them. I look forward to getting one to put through my standard tests and see how it compares to other machines I have.

Have you experienced the motor head to slow down to a full stop on some carpets? This is so frustrating with my new v15. Eco mode + trap doors set to - seems to help a bit but if i stop moving the motor just goes to a full stop :(

[@VacuumFacts]

Nope. Carpet is probably getting sucked into the head, jamming the brush bar. It slows down to prevent damage to the carpet. Either the carpet is not pinned down correctly, or very dense, preventing much airflow through it, so it acts like hardfloor. Solution is to reduce suction so it's not pulled in as much (eco and head switch set to '-').

[@okupchurchiii7850]

This is the best review I have seen on the V15 Detect....I was considering the V16 ( that's what Dyson calls the V15 outsize) but it appears to be just a modified V11......I ordered the V15 Detect but cancelled and got the V15 Outsize....But after watching this review, I am going to go back to the V15 Detect Absolute......It has all the attachments I want and has a HEPA filter..........When talking to Dyson, they say ALL their machines have a HEPA filter.......But not all of the advertise it in their descriptions.......who really knows........What really irritates me is Dyson has so many of the same model with different names....Very confusing.....again, thats for a great review and eye opening information.....

[@VacuumFacts]

I agree they could streamline considerably. I reviewed another flavour of the V15 as well kzbin.info/www/bejne/apKvYZiAmtOHp9k

[@petersonfamily6223]

Agreed with the Absolute description of including a HEPA filter! I was so confused and had to do a lot more research to figure out it meant nothing, and all the V15 Detect units, as well as other Dyson vacuums, come with a HEPA filter that is screwed on the back of the unit. So why is Dyson stating with HEPA filtration on the Absolute and not the other V15 versions? This just confuses customers? The Absolute has a few more attachments and a built-in crevice and dusting tool. I thought the addition of this just added real-time weight to the vacuum and may restrict airflow through the wand, so I opted for the V15 Detect. I would like to get the low-reach adapter that comes with the Absolute, but not sure how well it works. When I first went to Dyson's site to look at these, I thought they were physically different devices, but after an hour or so of research, I determined they are the same base units with extra attachments. You are paying more for those attachments, and many of them I didn't need.

We'd been using our V10 everyday due to dogs in the home and cleaning up fur. We had to break down the cleaner for storage afterwards, but the main bugbear was the wand connection to the cleaner became loose and wobbly which then caused problems with cleaning after just 6 months. We received under warranty both a new wand and main body, but the same happened again within a year. I did love the Dyson, but I'm not paying out the cost for a V15 if this issue hasn't been fixed. Can anyone verify if Dyson have improved the wand connection on the V15?

[@VacuumFacts]

Hard to say without seeing evidence of exactly what constitutes 'wobble' and the alleged negative effects being carefully quantified. If you can provide some, send it along for examination. I've never observed any unusual flexing with any machine from the V10 onwards and I've certainly never been able to demonstrate how flex causes any kind of performance reduction.

[@twync206]

@@VacuumFacts I problem is two-fold, the main body and wand having plastic grooves which wear over time and the 2-pin electrical connection on the opposite side of the locking clip becoming loose. The clip was probably the main problem. I eventually glued the clip and also a thin plastic strip inside the main body to stop the loose fit. There is a KZbin video of a customer with a brand new V11 with a loose wand, which was why I declined to go for the V11. Maybe I'm over using the cleaner and disconnecting the wand from the main body too often, but I did expect better for a cleaner with price tag nearing £500 though.

If that were true, they would have said so. Not convinced. And compensating for sloppy haphazard efforts is no virtue. There are some use cases, pointed out in the review, but they're so minor that I'd never notice. And then why not put it on the main head too? It's value is much lower than the attention it received for cosmetic reasons by marketing.

@@VacuumFacts Would you argue that hard floor cleaning is as much a stochastic process as carpet? If not, then surely reducing the need for overlapping is not sloppy, but more time efficient. I agree it was over sold in the marketing. My guess about it not being on the torque head is that it would be useless for carpet and they wanted to make the fluffy seem more relevant for hard floors again given that they previously decided the torque was more than adequate for both.

it is meant for vacuuming pleasure. it is informative and satisfying. one does need lower light levels for it to be more visible though

[@VacuumFacts]

@@craiglawrence5211 No; hardfloor is very simple because it lacks the complex network of interlocking fibres which trap particles as they're drawn towards the low pressure head. There's always some overlap needed, even on hard floors, otherwise you miss spots. You generally don't need to overlap as much. Crevices-particualrly deep ones-might need more than one pass depending on dimensions and what's down there (and how fast you're vacuuming). I think they realise how good the fluffy head is and how redundant it is with the high torque head. But, because they invented it and it is easily cloned, they don't want to give a free pass to the cheeky copycats, so continually develop it to outclass them. A bitter sweet problem of their own making.

On the wobble example with the neck joint you gave. I noticed how you dug the wand in to the carpet during the reverse with the V11. As for the V15 you lifted the wand when going in reverse.

Nevertheless awsome review. I'm kinda glad there isn't much difference between the current and last generation. Which means I will happily keep my V11.

That is well observed. That was deliberate to make it happen on command for the camera. It doesn't always happen otherwise; just on certain regions of carpet that are more worn.

I am claiming that I've seen no evidence of how to reproduce 'battery failure after 2-3 years' without abuse (namely using it in boost all the time, which goes directly against the manual's clear instructions). I have had a conversation with someone on here in fact, who claimed theirs failed after 2-3 years, but later admitted, after questioning, using it exclusively in boost mode.

I'm aware of only a tiny number of cases of such failures (literally a handful), which amounts to a statistical insignificance and not evidence of any genuine problem. All I can confirm is that my trigger switches, like most, have never failed. They are feather touch and need negligible force to activate, so I'm not sure how it's physically possible for them to fail.

I suffer with various illnesses which make getting around not so easy, two of which are fibromyalgia and chronic asthma. In your opinion would I be doing right in going for a Dyson V15 Absolute? In late December last year I purchased a shark cordless top of the range vacuum, it was returned to them after the Christmas / new year period because the battery pack continuously jumped out of the housing every time the vacuum passed over am aluminium floor joint.

As I don't suffer from those specific conditions, it's hard to know what the experience of the symptoms is like. So I can't advise there. However, whatever product you chose to buy, take advantage of their money-back guarantee in case it's not for you. All I can say is what's in the reviews; some products are objectively better than the others. The Dyson V15 is the best I've tried, and if it doesn't work for you, it's unlikely any will. You may want to hold off (unless you can't) and get the next generation of Dyson cordless, whenever it's released, which I'm predicting may have a much more powerful and lighter battery (using new battery technology). Otherwise, try the V15 for 35 days and return it if it doesn't work for you. The different models are similar; only the tools it comes with are what distinguish them. Check their website for details of what comes with each model.

@@WasherFan75 Yes, you could do it the other way around and directly measure exhausted air temperature as well, except you have to normalise for the volumetric air flow to calculate the portion of the motor power converted to heat and you still have to know the motor power (which is a simple calculation). It's the only way to calculate efficiency (which is presumably what you're attempting to determine). Are you aware of any power-consuming product that does not heat the air? I'm not. I'm aware of no product which is 100% efficient. I'm also aware of no meaningful reason to quantify it, particularly as it's already obvious from the run times for a given power consumption that it lasts longer and thus has to be more efficient than other motors.

[@WasherFan75]

​@@VacuumFacts Yeah, is the air that comes out of the exhaust slightly warm at all? Of course, pretty much every power consuming device outputs some waste heat. 100% efficiency is very difficult and only things such as heaters can achieve such high efficiency as almost all energy put in is producing heat. Even if a motor was somehow able to create no heat, the motor would still produce noise which is also technically wasted energy. I'm just wondering if the air from your V11 is warm all all? Even just from feeling the air on your hand. Batteries often get hot during charging and when being used which is also wasted energy. Efficiency is important, especially from something like a V11 with a limited battery source. Also what is the design life of the V11?

[@VacuumFacts]

@@WasherFan75 To the touch, I'm only able to detect a little warmth from both the V11 and V15 in boost mode (which is only intended for short usage). In auto mode, the air doesn't feel much different to ambient AFAICT. The design life of the V11 is hard to tell. Dyson apparently test it harshly for 5 years of service. Of course, people using it normally are under conditions less harsh, and Dyson have historically said 10 years at the very least for some products. It's also entirely modular too, so even if anything fails, you just swap out the part, which is much cheaper. Failure is also statistical, so you need data to be sure, as well as knowledge of how it was treated. My DC35 lasted 7 years and was like new before I upgraded. V11 is 2 years and like new. No apparent battery max capacity loss. So used normally and responsibly, many years is my observation. I've no data on statistical trends or correlations with causes.

Would you be interested reviewing the Dreame brand of vacuums? It has cyclone filtration and I hope you test it if its any good.

[@VacuumFacts]

Not really. Many argued, in a similar way, that other products, like the Samsung Jet 90, Lupe Pure, and Shark cordless etc. were 'Dyson killers'. All those listed used cyclonic technology. As always, a simple fact-check and some empirical measurements showed lousy knockoff clones to be the weak performers anyone sensible could have seen beforehand. Their cyclones clogged or weren't as effective (the best ones are still patented by Dyson), their products had major usability issues, weak technology, didn't perform as well etc. as outlined in the reviews. So what evidence, beforehand, is there that the Dreame brands are not in the same knockoff-clone boat as all the rest? There isn't any. They'll likely be functional, but unacceptably inferior to Dyson's machines. You can already tell from the stats and the way in which they sloppily clone features without researching and developing anything new. Reviews here kzbin.info/aero/PLBxUOcW7kaEtK3qcKCMEaLKTrP8Ehu8sz

[@zodiacfml]

@@VacuumFacts Thanks. I guess I can roughly judge it re-watching your review of that Samsung. I was just so tempted with these Dreame models, affordable with suction battery life close to Dyson but I value the Dyson cyclone tech highest feature. Fine dust is a vacuum killer

[@zodiacfml]

​@@VacuumFacts to my surprise, the cyclone design in Dreame vacuums and Samsung's is almost the same! watching a Dyson V10 disassembly shows more complicated/sophisticated cyclones, aside from having more of it than competition. sigh

[@VacuumFacts]

@@zodiacfml I suspect Dyson's patent protection for cyclonic exclusivity has expired, although other protections for the advancements of the core concept probably still hold. So cheap yet overpriced nasty copycats crudely kludge some basic cyclone which does't work well, as I showed in the Samsung review. I've no reason to suspect any knockoff cyclone is any better. As Dyson have advertised, 'if you want it to work like a Dyson, it has to be a Dyson'. Rather than being smug, I think there's some truth to that from what I've been able to measure. Copycat clones sully the original great idea kzbin.info/www/bejne/i5DUhGWfa62EiLs

[@zodiacfml]

​@@VacuumFacts i think they are copying the first generation of Dyson's cyclone implementation. I'm surprised unknown brands from China don't have a near copy of the Dyson's maybe due to difficulty and/or cost of the cyclones. thanks for the replies, i won't be able to find anyone else who can answer these.

Led lights on the head is brilliant for highlighting golden dog hair on hardwood floor. It just shows it all up so easily.

[@VacuumFacts]

Yeah, they do work. But whether the lights are on or off, the hair is still sucked up all the same.

@@VacuumFacts But it's cool to see!
