Which Dyson is Best? Dyson Gen5detect vs Dyson V12 vs Dyson v15

Do you own a Dyson vacuum cleaner or are you thinking about getting one? Let me know in the comments which one you own or are thinking about getting and why that one is right for you 🙂

[@techvisionreview]

Hi James, your review is fantastic. I wanted to suggest one feedback/area of improvement to improve quality of your videos. The background music throughout the video made it difficult to watch. If you keep the music limited to the start/intro and end, I think you would get much more views.

[@wakandathings3909]

Im thinking of the V15 on sale at Costco's. Which one should I get?

[@james_newall]

Hi @@wakandathings3909 I'm reluctant to tell or advise people what machine they should get as it varies for each person. Nevertheless, the V15 is an excellent machine and if you can get it in the sale (and you like what the machine offers) then its well worth considering!

[@MargDegraaf]

I love the 12 as it is lighter in weight & has a button to turn on. I purchased the 15 absolute & it’s so heavy & the dam trigger is an absolute pain. I’m 67 years old so the easier the better. I’m sending the 15 back to Dyson as I type.

[@thealchemist5376]

I own the V12 since yesterday. I'm very happy with weight, or lack thereof, as well as the button, as opposed to having to constantly hold the trigger down! Fantastic! Vacuumed last night, carpet and hard floors, and it certainly picked up a lot of dust! With regular vacuuming I doubt it will be so much each time, meaning the small bin will be sufficient, hardly a detriment. I really like the ergonomics and power!

[@james_newall]

Hi thealchemist5376, I agree and I'm glad you like it 🙂. The practicality of picking it up to use it is outstanding and although the bin is smaller it probably will not be an issue for many.

[@collinhayes9509]

I agree, I thought about upgrading to gen5, but I think the weight/size of the v12 is a huge win. I use mine in my car and have a smaller place so it’s perfect I upgraded from a v6 to the v12 and the difference is night and day. I had the v6 for 4 years

I’ve got the same opinion. Having a professional pick that’s also realistically informative

[@kimvelez2518]

Thank you very much for this video. Our kids dropped our V7 Animal onto the tile, and the casing broke. We have had that machine for over five years and replaced the battery once and the roller head once. We used it a lot. I am waffling between the V12 and the V15. After your review, I think the V12 is also the best fit for our family. I think the other two models will be too heavy for the kids to manage. Oh, and thank God, they added the power button! Comment on the cost of a Dyson: we have had a Dyson Ball for probably 7-8 years, and it’s still going strong. We had the V7 Animal for several years, and when a couple of things wore out, we were actually able to buy replacement parts off the Internet and keep it going. I appreciate that. I don’t mind paying more for a product if it is good quality and lasts a long time. our experience has been that the up front cost is high, but the cost of ownership over time is average.

[@james_newall]

Hi Kim, thank you for the comment! The lighter weight and power button makes a difference 🙂. If you buy from Dyson (and perhaps depending on where in the world you are) they offer a 2 year warranty with the vacuum cleaner too, and like yourself the vacuum cleaners I've used have lasted a good few years.

[@Teeyah2]

Fantastic review. The weight is so very important to me in addition to the button. After going back and forth for several years and buying and returning Dysons....You've helped me to make up my mind. V12 for me😊

[@james_newall]

Hi Teeyah, thank you for your kind comment and I'm glad the video review was helpful. 🙂

[@Krimarai]

I am planning to get either V15 or Gen5, but I am leaning towards V15 more, because it has a trigger. Somehow trigger looks more convenient for me, because in order to start and stop vacuum with a button, I need to reach out with second hand, but with trigger I just need to use one hand. The best solution would be if they made a button in place of a trigger.

[@james_newall]

Hi Максим Нечай, thank you for the comment 🙂! I may not be a fan of the trigger myself but it isn't a show stopper, as you rightly point out one of the main advantages it gives is the control you have over the power. All 3 vacuum cleaners are excellent and I'm sure you'll enjoy the one you get.

[@RC-br1ps]

Agree with your last sentence. A click button that starts and shuts off the machine, operable with one hand is the solution. it can be placed somewhere just over and almost i between the thumb and forefinger grip.

[@alexanderchase1275]

Bought the detect based on your review. $850 AUD it’s a bargain

[@jbarron4596]

I would purchase the V15, EXCEPT, I do not like the power trigger. I don't want to spend the money for the gen5 detect and I don't like the low suction of the 12. So, I'll pass on the purchase of a Dyson. Really a BIG mistake making the V15 with a trigger, instead of a power button--What a design flaw that was.

[@james_newall]

Hi J Barron, thanks for the comment! All 3 vacuum cleaners have 3 power modes: 1. Boost 2. Auto/Medium 3. Eco With Boost being the most powerful and Eco being the most economical (least powerful). The stated air watts in the video are when using 'Boost' mode which drains the battery quickly, so you would probably use Auto/Medium mode most the time. In this mode you probably won't notice much difference between the 3 vacuum cleaners. To see a demonstration of how well all 3 vacuum cleaners work click here 04:01. With regard to the power trigger, I agree I'm not a fan although some people like it.

[@dhdlfzla]

Thanks for the great video. I was struggling with which Dyson to buy.. V12, v15, Gen5. After watching your video, I decided to buy two V12 instead of Gen5. Gen 5 has great features and everything, but heavy weight is a deal breaker to me. and Gen5 is twice as expensive than V12 in the US. I have a big house (hardwood and carpet) but I don't want to carry around that heavyweight vacuum up and down.... and V15's trigger holder is not an option for me.

[@james_newall]

Hi h, thank you for the kind words and comment, it's appreciated🙂. Similar to yourself, there are a couple of people I know who find it easier and more practical to have two [lighter] vaccum cleaners in the home than one heavy vaccum cleaner. The biggest advantage perhaps being they don't have to carry it up and down stairs.

[@zofia2750]

This was exactly what I was looking for, thank you for a great realistic review! The power button is a must for me with carpal tunnel issues and I don't think I can justify the price of Gen5, so V12 it is!

Hi Asmaa Ismail, I'm so pleased it helped you and the V12 is an excellent vacuum cleaner 🙂.

[@BrianCairns]

I paid $450 US (or about $490 after sales tax) for the V12 Absolute directly from the Dyson website a few days ago. I got it today and I am very happy with it. I don't know if the price I paid for the V12 was a fluke, but compared with $650 for the V15 absolute and $1050 for the Gen5 absolute, it was a no brainer. It ended up being just $50 more than the discounted V10 at Costco, and the V10 didn't inude a fluffy roller bar at all, let alone the Fluffy Optic roller I got with the V12.

[@james_newall]

Hey Brian, thanks for the comment! That's a fantastic price! Particularly so when compared to the other vacuum cleaners. For anyone reading this, and depending on where in the world you are another good time to by a Dyson vacuum cleaner is Black Friday when they often reduce the price on some of their products.

[@blakaeg]

As much as I dislike James Dyson. I do really like the V15 and Gen5 machines. I really hope the batteries are more longer lasting than the V8 that started to deteriorate after 1.5 years. Went through 5 batteries in 6 years. I suspect the user will experience battery wear, but having Eco mode will help and I think their Auto/Medium modes help the battery not wear out as quickly, though I still found the V15 battery getting warm after vacuuming my flat. I use a SEBO Felix for deep carpet cleaning once a week as I do not like worrying about battery running out and a V15 for daily quick pick up jobs and the car.

[@septic1337]

Thanks for the great video! Im still torn between the V12 and the Gen5. The V12 would be 500€ and the gen5 would be 680€ in my region. The price difference doesnt bother me that much, but the weight difference compared to the suction power difference is where i am stuck. I have a relatively small flat of 70m² with only one carpet, and i also want to use the Dyson for my car, so it seems the V12 would be a good pick. Although i feel like it would be stupid not to go for the latest model for "only" 180€ price difference. Also i have heard rumors about a slim version of the gen5 coming this year maybe? What do you think?

[@james_newall]

Hi septic1337, thank you for the kind words and comment, it's greatly appreciated 🙂! If you are not bothered by the price difference and you want the best then Gen5detect is the winner. It is the heaviest of the 3 but that shouldn't be too much of a problem if you are already used to lifting/moving vacuum cleaners as its possibly lighter than your previous vacuum cleaner. The V12 is lighter and very easy to "just pick up and use" and would be well suited for a home as you describe. With regard to a slim version of the Gen5detect coming out this year, it could happen but I personally haven't heard anything [yet].

[@septic1337]

@@james_newall Thanks for the response! I very much like the idea of the V12 being easy to pick up and use, so I could see myself cleaning more often with it. I am not sure though if the suction power is enough for the car cleaning aspect, which has a certain priority for me. Have you had any chance in trying similar tasks with a V12?

[@james_newall]

@@septic1337 No problem . The short answer is no I haven't, not with the V12, but past experience using a V11 (another fantastic vacuum cleaner) in the car wasn't great. So in home and around the house it's fantastic, but my feeling is it probably isn't as good for car cleaning but will still do the job.

[@Ifly107]

Nice review. We’ve had the V10 for the last couple years and the trigger has given up the ghost. So I think we will get the Gen5 for two main reasons. First, the power button and secondly that we have 3 dogs and really need the extra power it provides. We have used our V10 on a daily basis and have been more than happy with it.

What is the difference between v15s submarine vs v15 absolute gold???

[@james_newall]

Hi borif, thanks for the comment! It depends where in the world you are as the attachments can vary between countries. However, the main difference is the submarine comes with the 'Submarine wet roller head' allowing it to clean liquids, debris and stains. If you are in the UK it also comes with the 'Hair screw tool'. The word 'Gold' in the title: "V15 Detect Absolute Gold" simply means the pole/wand is coloured Gold. If you scroll down the page here you can see what comes with both models: www.dyson.co.uk/vacuum-cleaners/cordless/v15

[@whoareyou-v6h]

Hi James, I live in UK, which one do you recommend submarine, v15 total or v15 absolute model 😢

[@anysarax2380]

James, I own V8, V11 and just bought V15 detect from Costco, but haven't opened yet and thinking about buy Gen5 and return V15 detect back to Costco, well I do vacuum a lot, V8 I docked at laundry and main use for laundry and bathroom, I love V11 but keep breaking Wheel on motor brush 7 times and it was replaced by Dyson with no charge for me, this is a big flaw in motor bar design, as the whole heavy vacuum cleaner travel on those 2 tiny wheel linked with 2 small screw, Dyson should change that. as when you vacuum in rush, you tend to hit the vacuum with other furniture and all which put pressure on when and as a result, the bracket, where the screw of the wheel tighten breaks from inside. , well being said, as I have used V1 for over 3 years and 4-5 times a day as I have replacement battery so I am never out of juice, should I keep $560 paid V15 detect or go for Gen5 for $749, I am confused, one more thing when you call Dyson, they can add 20% discount.

[@james_newall]

Hi anysarax, thanks for the comment 🙂! We also own a v11 and think its excellent! Of all the Dyson vacuum cleaners the v15 is the most like it (size, weight, apperance etc.) but more powerful. The Gen5detect is also excellent but is more expensive, so if you like the v11 then you will probably like the v15 and I would consider saving yourself some money and stick with this.

[@shhhpark]

Odd, I just got my v15 detect absolute and they seemed to have changed the included accessories durastically. Mine came with fluffy optic, motorbar, hair screw, combination tool and of course the docking station, charger and built int dusting tool. was hoping for the low reach adapter and crevice tool...guess i'll ahve to buy them separately

[@james_newall]

Hi Shhhpark and thanks for the comment 🙂! Unfortunately, Dyson aren't consistant when it comes to things like this. The accessories that come with a Dyson model can vary from country to country... and although I haven't see this happen yet I wouldn't be too surprised if they amend or change the accessories that come with a model.

[@曹婧-u7x]

HI, It's very good video. The weight and button made V12 a almost win for me. Just one more concern, V15 can upgrade by adding moping head. Which I checked, the moping head cannot be used into V12. I don't mop floor very often, but when I need to mop. I wish an affectless way than using a conventional mop. Any thoughts?

[@james_newall]

Hi 曹婧, thank you so much for the kind words it's appreciated 🙂! I think you're referring to the [new] Dyson v15 Submarine which has the 'Submarine wet roller head' www.dyson.co.uk/vacuum-cleaners/wet-dry/v15s-detect-submarine . The pole (also called the 'wand') on the v12 is smaller than v15 and Gen5Detect which is why it will not fit. I haven't tried it myself yet but the V15 is an excellent vacuum cleaner and if you need to clean floors with a mop then having the wet roller head might make this model ideal for you 🙂

For example, in the UK only the Gen5detect comes with the built in crevice tool, but the v15 doesn't www.dyson.co.uk/vacuum-cleaners/cordless/v15/detect-yellow-nickel whereas in the US the v15 does have it www.dyson.com/vacuum-cleaners/cordless/gen5/detect-absolute-hepa-prussian-blue .

[@crooked-halo]

Anyone considering the V12 should also compare the V12 and V11, as I've seen a review (on Modern Castle) which concludes the V11 performs better. The V11 is _much_ less expensive, too. I'm about to retire my old V8 & graduate to a V11, V12 or V15. So far, the cheaper V11 seems to be the winner. What I like about these Dysons is they're enjoyable to use! The appearance, maneuverability, engineering & construction makes it so easy & fun to vacuum. Yes, I'm weird.

[@james_newall]

Hi Crooked Halo, you're certainly not weird and thanks for the comment 🙂! I agree the V11 is a fantastic vacuum cleaner and one we use regularly. I posted a review titled 'Dyson v15 vs v11 Review: Dyson's BEST Cordless Vacuum Cleaners' here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y4DTeoZ_Z5Wiibc where I conclude it is a great buy (although I would suggest getting the 'Absolute' model if possible). Unfortunately, I don't think Dyson make it anymore and I have heard from several people (including a family member) saying they were unable to buy official spare parts. Nevertheless, the price and performance still makes it a fantastic vacuum cleaner. For anyone reading this, if you are interested to learn more about the V11 see my review in the link above.

[@crooked-halo]

@@james_newall I _thought_ I heard the V11 is discontinued, but today I was holding one in my hands in a Best Buy, comparing the weight to the V15. One thing I learned today is the V12 is _much_ smaller than the 11 & 15 & Gen 5. I like that smallness and light weight, but it also has less performance than the others. Actually, I did hear that it would be difficult to notice performance differences in picking up dirt in the 11, 12, 15 & Gen 5. I can't decide between trigger or button, but the dirt detector on the 15 & Gen 5 is something I probably wouldn't ever pay attention to. I've never once wanted to know exactly how much dirt I was vacuuming.

[@james_newall]

Hi@@crooked-halo, I don't think (emphasis on 'think') Dyson make the V11 anymore, but it is likely some other stores will have stock. The V12 is noticably smaller and lighter, but it is also the same height as the V11, V15 and Gen5. Using Boost mode the V11 has 180aw (air watts) of power, compared to 150aw on the V12. However, it is very unlikely you will use Boost mode much as it drains the battery rapidly. As you rightly say, you are unlikely to notice much performance difference between any of these vacuum cleaners and if you have a look here 04:31 you can see the V12 does a fine job picking up biscuit crumbs from the carpet. The V11 doesn't have a laser light nor the fancy particle detection system, but like you I have no interest in this as the cleaners bin does a great job showing it picked up dirt. If you can get a V11 Absolute cheaper than a V12 then it's certainly worth considering 🙂.

[@XxsoonerbornxX]

No. the V11 is not even close to the 12.

[@crooked-halo]

@@XxsoonerbornxX I've seen one video on Modern Castle, comparing the 11 & 12 and in the test the V11 performed better. I just got a V15 though, an open-box, new one on eBay & I am blown away at it's performance and the actual enjoyment of using it.

I really don't get all the praise for the button an criticism for the trigger, it's really not that hard to hold the trigger and it allows you to stop the vacuum when you want, a lot better for the ears

[@benzeynepp]

I have two cats and two children except me and my husband. I am so tired of using a corded vacuum cleaner. It is Philips Marathon and unfortunately not enough for cleaning a 230 m2 home. I am between buying V12 and V15. Thought of buying one with more powerful battery has confused me for a long time. But on the other hand, buying a lighter vacuum cleaner has benefits. I want to decide in a short time 😬

[@james_newall]

Hi Zeynep, thanks for the comment 🙂! I think first it depends if you have mainly carpeted floors or hard flooring, if the latter (i.e. hard flooring) then go with the V12. However, if its mainly carpeted flooring then given the size of your home coupled with the number of people in your family and cats, I would suggest the V15 as it has a larger bin, slightly more power and has the added Plus, Middle and Minus option on the main cleaner head (i.e. not the laser head) allowing you to further improve the suction if/when you need to. I don't know anything about Philips Marathon vacuum cleaner, but a quick google search suggests it's a powerful vacuum cleaner although I couldn't say how it compares to the Dysons. It's worth keeping in mind all 3 Dyson vacuum cleaners come with three cleaning modes: 1. Boost 2. Auto/Medium 3. Eco In my review the Air Watts I state are when using Boost mode which will drain the battery much faster, so you will likely use Auto/Medium mode most the time which will last in the region of 40 to 45 minutes (approximate times only). Also depending on where in the world you are the V15 might come with a built-in crevice tool (here: 02:46) similar to the Gen5Detect, something that is sold on the V15 Absolute in the USA (link here: www.dyson.com/vacuum-cleaners/cordless/v15/detect-absolute-hepa-gold), but not the UK (link here: www.dyson.co.uk/vacuum-cleaners/cordless/v15/detect-yellow-iron). I hope this helps.

[@benzeynepp]

Thank you so much for your feedback. Philips marathon is a good corded vacuum cleaner however it is not enough for vacuuming all cat fur around the house such as on carpets, hard floors or couches. I hope Dyson will satisfy my expectations with its different attachments also I can clean my car as well. After all I am so close to buying V15 as it has a larger bin and more power and this is what I basically need in my house although the start button has to be pressed during the cleaning. @@james_newall

Hi Thank you so much for the vid in my country cuz of high exchange rates cuz 1 dolar = almost 28 Dyson V12 Detect Slim Extra Absolute is almost 25.000.00 Tl and thats insane. So was wondering if there are better budget vacuums like this pls? ( also is v12 good for long hair and pet sheds)

[@james_newall]

Hi Athena, thank you comment 🙂! Unfortunately, Dysons are expensive. I don't know the availability of Dyson vacuum cleaners where you are, but the Dyson V11 is certainly worth considering if you can find one, not only should it be cheaper than these three but it is also excellent at cleaning. I have posted a review for it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y4DTeoZ_Z5Wiibcsi=XrzpMJxEm7xByX3W

[@daya54089]

How good are the Dyson vacuums on hardwood floors in terms of scratches? we just got new hardwood floors and don’t want any scratches 😅

[@james_newall]

Hi Dayan, thanks for the comment 🙂! You can see in the video we have hardfloor surfaces and neither the motorbar cleaner head nor the soft roller cleaner head leaves a mark (i.e. they don't scratch). The only thing I would recommend is if you are planning on getting one, get it with the soft roller cleaner head (the laser fluffy cleaner head) as its better at picking up dust and dirt from hardfloors.

[@MollyMiaAndMe]

I had new hardwood floors installed 6 months ago. A month ago I bought a V10 Animal from Costco. It does not come with the fluffy, and the discs on the motorized floor tool scratched my floor under the sofa. The edges have a bit of a rubber feel when they in the straight or near straight position. When rotated on its side to reach under furniture, it can scratch…fine scratches. So best to use the fluffy head on the wood floors, especially when going under furniture. I am returning my V10 and bought the V15 yesterday, so will use the fluffy head only on my wood floors.

Hello Tia, thank you for the comment and kind words, it's very much appreciated 🙂! The Gen5 Detect is a great vaccum cleaner!

[@z45342]

I have carpet in my room only and I also have dust allergies. I want to get a new vacuum for my carpet but since it’s a small surface (10m2) I’m hesitant between the perfect size and more affordable price of the v12 detect slim absolute and the succion power of the v15. Which one would you recommend to someone with dust allergies in terms of filtration system as well? Would the v12 still be enough if I use it everyday?

[@james_newall]

Hi z45342 thank you for the comment. Due to your allergies I'm hesitant to say which is best for you as this is more a medical view. That said, there is little between the v12 and v15 and I would get the v12. It's an excellent cleaner, cheaper and on 'Auto' mode has an almost like for like cleaning ability to the v15, as demonstrated here: 03:57

[@kentconcept2742]

On a gen5detect, can I reattach the fluffy head without turning off the vacuum? I’ve noticed that the fluffy head’s green light doesn’t turn back on if I do, and I’m forced to restart the vacuum.

[@james_newall]

Hi KentConcept, thanks for the comment! I've not tried it but I suspect will be something to do a 'switch' that's incorporated into the power on cycle (i.e. the button on the Gen5Detect). I say this as the older V12 had a switch (which can be seen here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gZ3NpIJ4mq2Yl7ssi=B-cwHB49W_IueH1e&t=170 ) built into the laser head allowing you to power on or off the green laser light. However, the newer version of the V12 has seen this switch removed leading me to think it is now built into the button. If you feel its an issue you could contact the store you bought it from and ask if they can swap it for another to see if it happens again.

[@james_newall]

Hola Blanca y gracias por tus amables palabras 🙂! The Gen5 detect is a fantastic vacuum cleaner. Unfortunately, they don't yet sell the v15 Detect Submarine in the UK so I have been unable to try it. However, given how good the soft roller (or fluffy roller) cleaner head is on hard floors I would expect it to be good and something I am keen to try.

[@brianbartulis9709]

Silly Dyson. The slightly larger cup should be interchangeable with the V12. And if the larger cup was put on the V12 originally it's what inches of plastic weight, gained/lost back with the shorter wand. ~ I got the V12 detect slim to replace the missuses brooming the kitchen which has a parrot cage in the corner. She loves it. Her hand/thumb is happy of the on/off button, weight. ~~ Few days back we decided to get the generous sis'n law a Dyson stick vac., 'n having a larger home/kitchen I figured I'd find one with a larger cup. ~ I near got the sis'n law the V15, but then saw it was back to the trigger use. :-l ~ Funny of the mental wall of the gen5 being a grand$. meh, now back on the back burner thought now. Couple months back our V12 finally lit up Clean Filter..one on top. I being a bit anal trying the keep the missuses tool ship shape, I got too aggressive dry cleaning by poking around..pleated filter on very top looked spotless. The cloth-like part of the top filter had li'l fibers sticking out. Eesh! I thought they were tiny downy feathers from the parrot and I kinda dug them out...and them fibers just kept coming. Ahhh! It's part of the filter I was digging out..and I ruined the filter. ~~ Point being: I peeked on Dyson's site. Filter as one single was quite pricey, But they were sold out. (huh?) Some deals on amazon but I won't amazon/bane of the retail world. I ended up getting a 3 pak on the Bay/free ship for decent price. So look into replacement filter before you need one. ~~ So you fav'd the V12. What did you do with the V15 and gen5? Return them so other's can buy them? (-: ..excuse my brat. I was partly raised by Bugs Bunny.

Hi Darsh, and thanks for the comment. I'm afraid I don't know much about the wet mopper so it's difficult to advise, although it's something I will likely review when I get a chance. If Dyson are releasing a Gen5 version soon and you don't mind paying more for it, then it might be worth waiting for this, otherwise the v15 or v12.

Привет, Катя! В зависимости от того, где вы находитесь, цвета и комплектация каждой модели могут различаться. Если вы купили у проверенного дилера, все будет в порядке. Пылесос, который вы описываете, звучит примерно так: www.dyson.co.uk/vacuum-cleaners/cordless/v12/detect-absolute-plus-yellow-iron Translated that hopefully reads as: Hello Katya, depending on where you are in the world both the colours and what comes with each model can vary.

Hi underscr0e, thanks for the comment! If you mean between the different variants of the V15 then no, it’s just the number & type of attachments and cleaner heads that are different (for example, not all the models come with the soft cleaner head).

Hi MK Trịnh, and thanks for the comment 🙂. No 48 minutes is pretty good where on auto mode it's around 40 to 45 minutes depending on how hard the vacuum cleaner has to work. The stated battery times of 60 minutes are when it is in Eco mode.

Hi Beatrice, and thank you for the comment. I don't own a pet myself but I would suggest looking at the attachments that come with the vacuum cleaners as there are attachments for pets hairs. Unfortunately, the attachments that come with the different models can vary from country to country so I couldn't say for sure based on your circumstance. If you are after quick, light cleaning then the v12 is very good with the Gen5 detect being the best of the cordless range.. and the v15 is excellent too so you can't go too wrong with any of them.

[@mecha03]

The v15 detect absolute does have the built in crevice tool.....

[@james_newall]

Hi Mech, and thanks for the comment. Yes you're right, although it's another example where models vary between countries. In the UK the Dyson V15 Detect Absolute doesn't include an inbuilt crevice tool: www.dyson.co.uk/vacuum-cleaners/cordless/v15/detect-yellow-iron , but in the US it does: www.dyson.com/vacuum-cleaners/cordless/v15/detect-absolute-hepa-gold .

Hi James: Do you know if Dyson 12 can work connecting to electric by a contact, without a battery?

Just got the V15 cause I didn’t even know the about the Gen5 and I’d much prefer a power button rather than a trigger. Should I swap it out 🤔

[@collinhayes9509]

I had the v6 for four years and it had a power button. Loved the button for quick uses, but it causes fatigue for longer ones. It’s also easy to accidentally press it, which is kind of annoying. I recently got the v12 with the button up top. While it’s an adjustment, and felt weird at first. I much prefer it after just a few days of use.

[@thealchemist5376]

Hm, perhaps. The gen5 is also heavier, so don't swap if that's a concern. If not, then perhaps. More suction, and power button.

[@thealchemist5376]

Or opt for V12, which has a bit less suction, but also the power button, and is lighter, making it less fatiguing and easier to manoeuvre.

[@james_newall]

Hi Greg, if a vacuum cleaner with a larger bin which has a button is whats important then the Gen5detect is the only option. However, you will pay more for it so its a balance of what you see as right. The v15 is still a great vacuum cleaner though and on it's release was the most powerful cordless vacuum cleaner you could get.

[@GiulioGiurisato]

Hi Giulio, I've posted a review for the Roomba j7+ robot vaccum here kzbin.info/www/bejne/e4qoqoqsft2LgLs so appreciate what you mean about needing to clean places where the robot doesn't reach. If it was me and I was to pick one of these three vacuum cleaners I would go for the cheapest one as they all do a great job. That said in your scenario you probably choose the v12 as it's easy to pick up and put back for the 'few places' you need to clean.

[@GiulioGiurisato]

[@james_newall]

@@GiulioGiurisato Unfortunately, the attachments that come with the same model vary around the world (for example, you don't necessarily get the same attachments with the same vacuum cleaner in a different country). If you don't have many places to vacuum just get the basic model with the motorbar cleaner head, but if you need to vacuum a few places which are a carpet/rug and hardfloor (or even just hardfloors) then you might want to consider getting the v12 that comes with the soft cleaner head which is better for cleaning hardfloors.

@@james_newall i think in fact that they don't know how to handle the weight thing due to the big battery to support the power supply on the new motorisation. This is why they announce this big thing with this massive default. If you look well, the v15 and the gen5 are already discounted on a regular basis where the v12 is now not put in front on the commercial banners, and they've inscreased the price of the v12 in europe. I think the v12 was their best seller, way better than v15 but they don't know how to propose a good compromise between power and weight.

Hi Golf, thank you very much for the kind words it is really appreciated🙂! Yes, the Gen5 is newer than the v15. With your home being predominantly hardwood I would recommend getting a vaccum cleaner that comes with the soft roller cleaner head, as although the motorized cleaner head does a good job on hardfloors the soft roller works better. It really depends on what is important to you when picking a vacuum cleaner. If you are set on cordless vaccum cleaner then on the UK site Dyson provide a tool to help pick the 'right' vaccum cleaner for you www.dyson.co.uk/vacuum-cleaners/help-me-choose/tool that said, you can't go too wrong with any of the cleaners (even the Dyson v11 which I still use and reviewed here kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y4DTeoZ_Z5Wiibcsi=oBoJOYdZWwMwIorq ). The only thing I would mention is given the size of your home you will probably find the bin is a little small on v12.
