Dyson V12 Review & Tests

[@susanasoler6181]

best review of anything i have ever seen in my life!

[@aGirlanachronism]

Incredibly helpful!! I really appreciate all the comparison tables.

[@janw7157]

I just bought one and not only do they not include a manual but there was no quick start guide either. Your video is better than any Dyson instructions would be but I'm irked they didn't include a word about how to use the vacuum and accessories. After seeing your review and that it's not the more powerful of the Dyson cordless models I may have chosen differently but then again probably not. I didn't want the trigger models and lightweight was important to me. So far I really like it a lot and seems to pick up well on my floors. Thank you for the great review.

I’m having trouble vacuuming a rug on a wooden floor it’s a thick pile rug, even on eco mode the Dyson v12 is hard to push and it jams and stops working. I’m so disappointed with the v12

[@paulgerrard9227]

There is a qr code printed on the box that has a quickstart guide and manual. No big red arrow pointing to it. 😊 Also on the dyson site. Not complex

[@paulgerrard9227]

The v12 changed my mind about dyson. It works. Very well. The laser thing...works. The powerhead...works. The only gripe. It fills the dist canister fast. Real fine dust, hair and esp pet hair from even clean carpet. The two heads fit well to the wall unit too.

[@SsgtHolland]

Really good review, especially with the explanation of tool maintenance. Great job!

[@babbittdawabbitt3716]

Hey guy, sorry to hear you been under the weather. Get well soon ! I’ve been a vac guy for years, tho not professional. Mostly, I get vacs at the dumpsters. I take them apart, clean, sanitize, and get new filters for them. One of my favorite modern vacs is the Dyson upright ball. Old school - def the Electrolux classic. Anyway, I have refurbed two Dyson cordless - sv9, and more recently a v10. Two glaring things I do not like are the small canister, and difficult disassembly for deep cleaning. But I suppose like most modern appliances, they are “disposable”. I guess that’s ok if you can afford a new one every two years - Yikes !

[@shelterrockisland]

Excellent review as always - I tried every incarnation of Dyson Cordless and have returned every single one of them. It is an awesome lineup, however the battery run time is atrocious and makes this a super expensive toy no matter what convenience you get for 5 min run time on max.

[@paulgerrard9227]

On Auto i get 35-40 mins. Running on max isnt recommended

[@irfarf201]

That small hair removal tool at 2:52 really got manufactured poorly. I was surprised that the tiny red line got unglued on mine and though "oh well. I must've used it wrongly" but then I found on that timestamp that yours is coming off too.

[@011bhoomickr5]

Same for me also 😅the small hair removal quality is just low.

[@faarekylling]

Very nice review. Thank you🙏🏼 I was considering the V15, but the V12 is enough for me I think. Ordered that. Greetings from Denmark, and happy New Year.

[@kimim2702]

Just bought and I love mine!! Can do a quick and easy vacuum of entire house in between major cleaning with Miele canister. With three dogs, this is such a wonderful convenience. It’s so light and the suction is great. If I hurry, I can do 2000 sq ft on one charge, with lots of carpet, hardwood and tile. Only minor complaint is the small canister and airborne dust when emptying. Will wear a mask in the future. I looked at other larger Dyson models and none were nearly as comfortable in my hand. I plan to purchase a second battery so I can take a little more time in certain areas.

[@nolagirl7082]

This is such a great, overall good review. I appreciate all the time and energy you put into making this video. My husband bought me this vacuum for Christmas. I had wanted a new Dyson, but I hadn’t researched into a the new Dyson models in over 3 years. I bought the Dyson V 10 about three years ago and it’s been a great vacuum! It’s definitely made me fall in love with the Dyson brand for sure. But unfortunately, I’ve used the vacuum so much, it’s pretty much toast! The lever to empty the trash barely works, I have to mess with it every time I go to empty the vacuum. Also, my battery is operating at about 50%. Those have both been recent breakdowns into my v10 vacuum, so I knew it was time for another one. I was a little irritated at my husband for not even asking me which specific model I had wanted, especially when spending over $500 of our hard earned money, but I won’t go into that, lol! How does one complain about such a nice Christmas gift?! But after listening to your review, I feel so much better about having this new vacuum. I think it’s going to work out just fine for me and my particular needs. I think it will be nice to have a slimmer, more light vacuum. I always hated the fact that a cordless vacuum is always going to be super top heavy. I’ve got another cordless vacuums and realized Dyson was actually on the light side of “top heavy”, but it’s still nice to get something lighter than the “usual” Dyson model. Also, I personally love the fact that this model doesn’t have the pull trigger when vacuuming. Call me a wimp, but it bothered my fingers for sure! That’s actually probably what makes me the happiest about getting this vacuum, is learning that the V 15 doesn’t even have this feature! The only thing that worries me about this vacuum is the trash bin looks very small. I guess I will just have to get in there and find out. I still haven’t used the vacuum yet. I wanted to research it and be 100% sure I wanted it before turning it on and getting it all dirty.

[@VacuumAdvisor]

Hi Nola Girl - Some good information in your comment. Also, glad you liked the review!

[@rlg222]

I just ordered the V12. I went to Best Buy to try it out physically and talk to the rep onsite. Thanks for the review! I have a husky and I was tired of dragging out my heavy and old but good Kirby diamond series. I also like the slim because I have lot of smaller area that's just too hard to reach with my Kirby because you need to remove the head and installed the hose to the Kirby.

[@morten1]

That's how you review stuff. Well done

[@barsowhi]

Agree. This is an excellent review. Helped understand features/how to use better than any other! Thank you.

[@mbenn2]

Are you doing any new videos soon? I miss your great reviews!

[@jstn1of1]

Nice review. I’m contemplating on getting the v12 over the v15

[@Patriot1066Tom]

I went V12 instead of V15 because lightness and ON/OFF button. Battery life is enough if you don't have 3 story carpet castle.

[@Dan96max225]

New to Dyson but just bought a v15 detect. A couple things I learned for others debating between the two There are $10 trigger locks for the v15 that change it to on/off instead of the pull trigger. They slide right on with no modification. So if the trigger is holding you back, there’s a solution. The v12 being a slim model doesn’t work with all heads from other models. If you have multiple dysons it may be worth consideration. I contemplated returning the v15 for the v12 but really like the extra size bin and extra power. I’m a 40yo guy that stands 6’3 but also has a bad back and carpel tunnel in my right hand. I would definitely appreciate a lighter model but the v15 has been great so far. Might get one of the smaller models later on for daily use and keep the v15 for full house cleans. Costco has the v15 on sale often for around $550 usd with 90 day returns.

[@tsilver3204]

Thanks, i like that they are so light. Im going to get one.

[@richelleee10]

Is it possible to overcharge the battery? Or does it automatically stop charging when its full and on the wall mount?

[@mustang9549]

Looking to upgrade from a shark vacuum we’ve had for almost 10 years now. Trying to get to figure out why these vacuum cleaners are so expensive before I buy one for Black Friday lol

[@StevenYoungcaptual]

Wonderful review 👍 Talked me into the 12 for car cleaning.

[@kimvelez2518]

Thank you for this thorough review. I am debating between the V 12 and the V 15. I have watched a couple of other reviews and I guess what I have to offer other readers is that our use case is a large home with multi surface floors, two kids and one cat. We didn’t have a problem with the dust bin filling up on our previous Dyson V7. We use the cordless vac for quick touchups around the kitchen and dining area. I believe lightweight and push button outweighs heavier, and larger dustbin in our case. I want our little kids to learn to help us with this task, too. Question: if you purchase an extra battery, and you have the charger connected to the wall mount, how do you keep the extra battery charged when the charger is being used for the main unit?

[@kimscioloro]

GREAT tip about buying a second battery!! Best, most helpful video for this machine!! I couldn't get help anywhere else! When will the machine last for an hour?

[@JAPowers]

Love this review. Well done. Just what I was looking for. Updating from my Dyson DC35 still works great but want something new.

[@_Graf.]

The medium settings bothers me a lot. Medium with 35 or 40 would be great, but 23… its only half the power of the V15. With the powered heads its not so big of a problem, but with the small suction tube for example or if you want to vacuum dust with the brush it will be a big different. A test like that is really missing.

[@lgvdbroek]

11:21 Ask: If you have connected the wallmount, can you charge the spare battery in that wallmount?

[@mikea8294]

I have been using the V11 Torque Drive for the past few years and over the last few months, I experience an issue where it would keep running even after releasing the trigger. I have to hit the battery to get it to stop. I am looking for something that is lighter and does not have a trigger and it sounds like the V12 may be my best option. However, most of my vacuuming is done on low pile carpet. In your honest opinion, would the V12 be sufficient enough to remove dirt, debris, and cat hair from the carpet, even on the automatic/medium mode?

[@meirebecker]

Excellent review!! THE BEST!

[@N..-]

You should be measuring the noise level from where it is generated. That would be the length of your arm to where the motor is located, because obviously the motor produces the noise.

[@gamze5934]

i am using a v12 and super happy with it

[@GOLFADDICT65]

in your opinion would a V12 be powerful enough for a 2200 sq ft home includes both floors .... mostly hardwood with , numerous area rugs.....one room with carpet.....we have one pet...also is it powerful enough to do a good job cleaning your car ? i guess my only concern would be the smaller dust bin.....if it lasts for one floor that would be perfect...i must admit i like the idea of a power button and the lighter weight just as long as it does a very good job cleaning....its 899 here in Canada.....V15 detect 999 / outsize plus 1249 / Gen5 detect 1199........i will want to buy a spare battery and Detail Kit.....i look forward to your opinion i think i am very close at deciding finally...lol...thx again for your review...cheers from Canada

[@loudelement]

I've heard dyson has released a new series of their stick vacs called the gen5. Maybe you can ask them to send you one over for a future review. Looks promising

[@lyla5381]

Hi . I love your reviews! I tried this vaccum and I think is very quiet with the fluffy brush, the other brush makes lot of noise comparing to the fluffy one right ??

[@Ohlukei]

the step between the medium and the max mode is too big. the max mode is mostly useless because of short running time and the heavy accu stress. 👀

[@fbasicst]

Just bought one and I cannot agree more

[@Clove_Parma]

For this, hold down the red button on the back of the screen for a few seconds, it’ll open a menu that lets you choose how aggressively it automatically adjusts the suction. You can set it to be more aggressive in adapting the suction on auto to reduce your need to use the boost mode. This is mostly a vacuum made for small spot cleans, not a whole home cleaner like v15 or gen 5

[@Ohlukei]

@@Clove_Parma thanks. yes I know. but the max mode is real stress for the accus and can not be adjusted. the medium default auto mode is okay for me. 🙂

[@derellscott6695]

What is the maximum square footage home do you recommend for the v12?

[@TheBeagleBrigade]

I have a dog and wondering how the Motorbar head works on hard floors for picking up debris and dog hair.

[@justynabal420]

Great vids. I’m a huge fan of dyson vacuums. The website used to clearly list hepa* filter under select vacuums. I cannot find the wording anymore. Would you know anything about it? Or am I misunderstanding the filtration?

[@Clove_Parma]

All current Dyson models meet or exceed the requirements for the HEPA claim through the multiple filtration stages (metal mesh, pre filter, cyclones, post filter etc), but they stopped calling it HEPA as it was causing customers to think that the filter itself was HEPA grade which it was not. The models that have a cyan coloured filter however do include a specific filter which by itself is HEPA. The models with cyan HEPA filters will capture particles down to 0.1 microns vs 0.3 on the purple filters.

[@saunaonfire]

For the Suction Power table around 8:50 where did you get the numbers?

[@VacuumAdvisor]

These are from the reviews I've done over the years on each Dyson cordless. At the time of each review the data were either found from an official source online (Dyson.com usually) or by contacting Dyson directly. The figures are from the time the review was performed. They would not take into account any suction power changes Dyson may have made to different models over the years (if indeed they have).

[@saunaonfire]

@@VacuumAdvisor What stands out to me is how the Eco and Medium on the V12 are both worse than the Low on the V8. Assuming the Max setting is almost never used on either model, would you recommend the V12 over a brand new V8?

[@Clove_Parma]

@@saunaonfirethe medium mode reading is based on a clean floor. If the floor is dirty it boosts up well beyond V8’s low suction with the adaptive suction. It’s also possible to make the adaptive suction more aggressive in boosting automatically by holding down the red rear button for a few seconds to access the menu

[@Bleeblaablooo]

I’m not reading anything about the v12 having hepa filtration. Any recommendations on a vacuum cleaner with hepa to it?

[@Clove_Parma]

[@tiancheung5348]

Do you know If v15 battery fit into v12 vacuum??? I can't fit v12 battery anywhere.

[@Clove_Parma]

No you can’t unfortunately. Would be great if possible to allow extended runtime for v12 or lighter weight on v15

[@hutch84jr]

I tried on my carpet,, doesn't work, keeps shutting off 🤨

[@richardlacombe1736]

Good evaluation but all of the test are done at a crawl speed.. At those speed, it would take my wife a week to clean the floors !. Suction capacity is very important to consider. Especially if you already have an absolute V-8. The V-8 in eco mode has a better suction capacity compared to the V-12 ! This,is the deal breaker! The only reason Dyson is slowing the speed of the V12 is to get the target one hour of operation.. And yes.. it dose, but the V8 absolute is already missing some suction capacity at the eco. I thought that V-12 would hit it out of the ball park.. ? That means it's less efficient than the previous model (V8 absolute) In my opinion.. It's not worth changing for a new less efficient model. Thanks for the evaluation It help me make my decision.

[@Mussa.H]

Guys listen to the reviews. I just bought the v12 detect and it has the same issue that you, and many people online/on KZbin have reported about it with all the cordless Dyson models. The brush motor roller just stops working when on my high pile carpet. I’ve even heard people having issues on door mats and corridor mats. Seems like Dyson help is to tell us to use our £500+ vacuums on its lowest settings which is nonsensical. How about they design a product which actually justifies the high price. “engineered and tested to effectively clean a wide variety of floor coverings, including different types and lengths of carpeting”. Sure..
