I have the V12 and i have two Golden Retrievers and the dustbin being small is a non-problem for me. I only have to empty the bin once during cleaning and then of course when i’m done. I vaccum once every day, since i can’t stand dirt on my feet when walking around. The advantage of amazing ergonomics are well worth the cons.
@@marcozanon1019 No, i have never had any tangles on the soft roller. Nor on the motor head when cleaning carpets. There are some small wheels on the heads though - these are mounted on steel axles, and these will need to be cleaned from dog hair every 2 months. I have never experienced the wheels getting stuck from the dog hair - However i clean the axles just in case.
Bought the V12 yesterday. Took my wife to the shop and I was ready to buy the V15. But the on/off button on the V12 is so much better than the button on V15. Made a huge difference. I needed a couple of minutes to think, because my mind was set for the V15, but the V12 is really a perfect machine for our house. V12 for the win. :)
Is your finger made out of silk or something? I've owned the v10 motorhead got about 4 yrs. The triggers very light to hold. U don't need to put down alotta pressure
I am in the same spot as you were! I am still confused! having tried the v12 for 3 days by now do you recommend me to go for the v12? my reason of going for v15 is the scalability and being future proof maybe having more battery and dirt capacity! When i was in the store I felt that v12 is better because its lighter and more comfier to use
The v15 is the replacement for the v11… the v12 then came out as a smaller option to the v15 and now the Gen 5 is the replacement for the v15. I’m sure this clears up nothing and causes further confusion 😂
I ordered the V15 today but called to change it for the V12 My daughter said the V15 is too heavy for me so hopefully they will cancel this order and I can get the V12Detect slim absolute. Spoke to a really great customer Service guy - this one sounds a lot better for me.
Confused why you said there is a huge price difference. The price difference for retail prices is $100 in the U.S., but for Black Friday I found them both on sale on many websites. At Home Depot, I can get the V15 for $585 with the Black Friday sale and military discount. For the V12, it’s on sale for $500. I’m upgrading from a V6 Absolute, and the larger bin and longer battery life seem to justify the price differences for me. Then adding better carpet cleaning and no hair tangling for main carpet brush, and I think I’ve made my decision. The push button feature is nice, but it’s not enough to justify the other compromises in my opinion.
Sorry was talking about retail pricing when doing the video. Pricing of course can be seasonal. So if you got yours at a great deal, awesome. It's the best time to purchase expensive items like these
I love this machine! th-cam.com/users/postUgkx8ISPQRRAfpAaX4msGjyodObTBnlj4T5g Assembly was a snap, only the handle had to be put on and it slides right in. Then a container filled with water and solution. This is not a vacumme cleaner, although the makers say you don't need to vacumme first. It is mainly for solid floor surfaces, but has a rug setting too. I have no rugs, so only used it on my pine wood floors. The machine has a mopping type rolling thing on the bottom, that scrubs the floor with water mixed with cleaning solution. A small bottle of the solution comes with the machine. Dirty water goes into a second compartment. The machine work worked quite well. It isn't very loud, and my floor looks so much better than when I mop it. Best of all, it is so much easier and less messy to use than a mop and bucket! I had a couple of things that might be nice, but not necessary. One is if the cord would retract into the machine instead of having to be managed with one hand. The other is that the amount of floor covered by the amount of solution seemed to be less than stated. But then, I might have gone over the floor more times than intended. I hope I can find the cleaning solution easily, I don't know how available it will be!
Thank you so much! This vacuum search is so confusing. I was looking at the V15, but think I will choose the 12 because of the on/off button. I have arthritis in my hands and not having to continually hold a trigger switch is huge for me. I’d rather have the power of the V15, and would be willing to pay the increased cost, but that button is a must.
I like the fact that our place rug in family room has embedded short hair from my French bulldog and for over a year my Shark Apex can’t budge most of the hair. As soon as I got the V15 it cleaned it up in only two passes on boost mode. I like that I don’t need to lug an upright around to get stairs vacuumed. And it gets the edges clean. After doing my music room my rug looks like it was shampooed. Hasn’t looked this good in a while, and it’s usually vacuumed once a week with the Shark and maintained daily with my Roomba J7+. I’m a neat freak and so far I’m enjoying this cordless, powerful vacuum. I have a Dyson DC44 cordless that’s 10 years old. Its in excellent condition. I use that for small jobs like hair in restroom, it’s not the strongest and I thought the V15 would be better, but this is on a whole different level of better. My docking station arrives tomorrow.
I bought the V12 and it's pretty good, LOVE the detect feature! I had some questions and the Dyson Customer Service (CS) is by far THE WORST CS I have ever encountered and I'm an old lady. I was on the phone with them for TWO hours and got nowhere!
Thanks for the video. For those that are thinking about getting a Dyson, do it now! I just got a Dyson v12 from bed Bath & Beyond with a black Friday deal and a 25% welcome rewards membership discount for $404.
Thanks for the video. My house is 210m2. No pets / no longer hair, etc. I like the switch button and weight of V12. However, it seems V15 more powerfull.
Is suction power of V8 enough for deep cleaning? My husband has dust allergy. We have 2 pets also. So i my first concern is suction power/cleaning performance. Is V8 enough for perfect deep cleaning?? V11 seems bit heavy. Now they have introduced 2 more models, V12 & V15. Can u please help me to choose the best.
What about hairs in the fluffy head? I only have hard floors, so will be using the fluffy head mostly. But I guess hairs just tangle around the fluffy head. I could use the other head first and then the fluffy head, but that'll be double the work.
The laser slim roller is surprisingly good even with hair will wrap around the axle, since it has a gap. The chunkier Fluffy tool in the V8, V10, and V11 is decent in my tests up to nine-long hair, but some of it will wrap on the roller itself.
i am racking my brain trying to choose a Dyson stick vacuum...narrowed it down to Gen5 outsize 1399 / Gen5 1199 / V15 detect 999 / V12 detect 899 thats in canadian funds........i notice online there are less attachments available to the Gen5 line compared to the V15....the cleaning kit is wanted but only the V15 can get it between the 3 vacuums i am pondering.....we are 58 years old with aging joints...lol..plus we have a dog....wanna use it for house and car...mostly hardwood floors except one room plus there are various area rugs.....the 2 floors are a total of about 2500 sq ft....at the end of the day i would also like an extra battery...honestly which would you recommend ?....we also thought about the V12 but the storage bin seems pretty small plus we would like more power....thx for your reviews....cheers from Canada
Hi, based on your needs, I think the best compromise for you since it's mostly hard floors is the V12 Detect. The smaller bin is a downer but it's the one I use the most inside my home. Strange as it sounds, the V15 and Gen5 Detect may be too powerful for light area rugs, the V12 too, but you could use the torque screw tool to vacuum it. Anyway I just published the Dyson Gen5 and V15 Detect comparison video here >> th-cam.com/video/V65Cr3tDDNA/w-d-xo.html I hope this video helps. I'll also publish a comparison a video for the V12, V15 and Gen5 Detect.

Had to return my V12… simply put, bin capacity is too small. Because it’s small size, it also doesn’t empty easily either. The collection often has hair that goes above the collection cup. I do wish for a combo of the V12/V15 features ugh 😢
I got a V12 this Black Friday for 500 euros when the original price is 600ish something and I am super happy ! It is light , doesn’t take a lot of space , not as noisy as V15 and does a great job ! I don’t have pets and it works well for carpets , sofas and the floor ! Highly recommended for anyone looking to invest a good amount
Basically, the technology. The V10 has traces of the V8 built into it like the slide toggle switch and no LCD screen, while the V12 has the V15 technology - Piezo sensor, laser slim roller, detachable battery, interactive LCD screen, etc. but in a smaller package.

I got the v12. the biggest issue is the accu. the max mode is mostly useless du to the low run time of only 8 minutes because the max mode is 5 (!) times stronger than the medium mode. if your accu is dead someday the manufacturer is mostly unable to deliver a new one, so you have to grab an aftermarket accu.
People really need to stop buying these garbage machines. Since Dyson moved their manufacturing to Malaysia, it has not been worth a damn, and James Dyson is just full of himself. Overpriced crap.

My V12 came with the de-tangling motorbar head with the detangling vanes and laser fluffy head.
I just purchased the same (v12 detect) with a de-tangled motor head. Maybe this guy had an older version.
Why do they have "snowplows" in the rollerheads? I prefer the open rollerhead design more.
