- A full-truth review of the Dyson V15 Detect Absolute cordless vacuum cleaner. No, I wasn't paid by Dyson to review this. I always reject offers of free review products because I prefer to give the full truth without any of the boot-licking of the sell-outs. This machine can fully replace your full size cleaner, no matter what some might want you to believe without evidence. Other reviews: • Reviews

Excellent balance of technical and practical, covering every angle in depth. Also enjoyable to watch. Great job!
I am very impressed with this review, I’ll come back here from now on. Thank you very much. Love the quick to the point no BS attitude. Keep up the good work.
This is the most comprehensive review I’ve ever seen on a vacuum or just about any other product. Good job man, you’ve earned my sub
yep; if you want something doing right...
Your videos are always the BEST! Thank you for all the effort you put into making them.
This is the absolute best review, all I could ask for. Thank you!
Thank you so much for the best review I have watched. Everything to detail and not missed out on anything..!!
While waiting for v15 to arrive in DK, I've fanatically watched (quite literally) every YT review. I refresh the list every week, and sort the search by upload date. This one has to be one of the best, if not the best. Thank you.
Do you know when this is arriving in DK? I need one
@@fallowfieldlettings3210 Arrived about a month ago, I got one on the first day
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!
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.
Best review I’ve seen of the v15 so far detailed and simple to understand the differences etc….
Holy. Sh@t. That‘s what I call a review. On a vacuum. You don’t happen to review other stuff? You should give reviewer certificates. Bravo…
A truly excellent review. I enjoyed every minute of it. Thank you!
A fantastic in-depth and thought out, honest review of the new V15 Detect, the best I’ve seen so far. Both positive and negative points too. You show in detail many of the new features and changes no others have pointed out or gone into detail like you have. Things like the scrolled cyclones and updated shroud and detail about the filter material to name a few that others missed! Even Dyson don’t mention or go into that much detail on some of the new features/updates! I’ve learnt about a few new features from your review too!
I loved the comment where you mention a vacuum is intended to pick up dust and fine particles you can’t see not big pieces of say cereal etc...spot on and couldn’t agree more! Like you say a bit of common sense is needed! I don’t think that is used a lot these days!
I see some additional new V15 Detect models have been added to the UK line up! A V15 Detect Complete model with the updated HEPA Filter and it includes the light up crevice tool and the built in crevice and dusting brush. 2 Animal models that are £100 cheaper as they don’t include the Laser Fluffy head and one of them includes the built in crevice and dusting brush. Although no in-depth pictures or detail on this new built in tool! Be handy to have built in, may not need the tool caddy that clips to the wand! But that’s still handy too.
Prices have also dropped on the V11 through to the V7 models too!
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 TH-camrs don’t even focus on aspects that are relevant in home cleaning, and which sometimes are only detectable after long time usage.
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.
auto subscribe! People like you definitely deserve a medal! Thanks for the honest review!
Very impartial, objective review with suggestions for future generations of dyson cordless vacuums! Information presented is valuable.
One of the best reviewers there is.
Absolutely fantastic and informative review 👏🏻 Cutting out the BS and providing facts and scientific knowledge is much appreciated. I only just found this channel and review as I'm contemplating the V15 but I'm now a permanent subscriber 🙂👌🏻
This channel was intended as an educational response to a clutch of hysterical tribalists, constituting the ‘vacuum enthusiasts’, who wilfully spread misinformation, propaganda, or just general ignorance. Most of my videos expose the wrongdoing and teach how to think to recognise and fact-check claims made, immunising against the ‘alternative facts’ without the need to suppress and ban as a quick-‘fix’ kludge too often seen on the internet these days.
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!
Such an impressive review! Thanks for going into all the technical aspects. And thanks for not accepting free products so you can remain unbiased.
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.
Yeah, I have to confess I'm happier with the V15 over the V11 despite being a bit noisier.
@@VacuumFacts Mine's quieter than my old one was, so I've no complaints. I think it's wonderful. Your videos are wonderful, too. Too many of the so called reviewers are pushing some kind of grudge that facts and evidence simply don't support.
Your reviews are so clean 🤯
Great review! I have my v15 for some time now and it's great! Although those cons that you've mentioned should be changed.
Excellent review! Thank you
I really appreciate this review. It has convinced me to go buy this model.
I *LOVE* the green laser not to see where I need to vacuum (I already have good technique so I know I’m going over everything), but I love seeing confirmation on the pullback that where I just went over is truly clean :). Awesome video and great review!
Must make you unhappy when vacuuming carpets then.
@@VacuumFacts Yes! I need the laser!!
😂
Excellent review! Best I’ve watched so far on the v15. I have one arriving on Monday....my first cordless. I felt a bit guilty about spending so much but hopefully I’ll enjoy using it. Thank you for a great video!
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.
@@VacuumFacts Do you know if the V15+ bin can be emptied with the built-in crevice tool in place -- or is the built-in tool removable for this purpose?
@@VacuumFacts I just called Dyson to check on that V15+ version. Apparently, the V15 has the exact same filter...not better. I was wondering about that as I didn't want to keep the one coming if the filtration wasn't as good for just $50 more. 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.
@@betzie2 Yes, it is confusing what they advertise relative to what they say on the phone.
Good job! You really got prepared for the review 👍
VERY informative, thank you!
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
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.
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!
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.
great review!
You deserve so much more recognition from these reviews, honestly, this blows all other TH-camrs out of the water and only has 22k views!?!?!
There's no relationship between quality and popularity-particularly on a platform that caters for showy cosmetics over substance for clicks and profit (I don't monetise my videos). You only need to search for V15 review and see the top viewed videos are all 'professional' confident presentations but contain so little of value to people-and that's assuming it's not full of misleading nonsense, which many videos are and why I made my channel in the first place. But I've got so many haters who don't like facts that you just know I'm doing something right. :)
@@VacuumFacts definitely a large quantity of sponsored content influenced by “free stuff” to hype up particular products to enhance search engine optimisation without provided true critique so potential customers can make a well rounded informed purchase.
I’ve found this to be true across many niches.
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.
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 th-cam.com/video/4aL0eJenTqw/w-d-xo.html . 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. th-cam.com/video/T3prXR-aeOg/w-d-xo.html . 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 th-cam.com/video/7wa3SrXh-0s/w-d-xo.html. Future technology in the works is discussed here th-cam.com/video/lWpdK234XfU/w-d-xo.html and in its pinned comment.
I let my v11 run for a while and all the hair ran off after 5-6 mins of running
Also would you still buy the v11 over the v15(Price difference and the new, louder floor tool even if it’s only 1-2db
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.
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.
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.
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.
What vacuum would you recommend for us? The vacuum we use is 16 years old I was 2 when my mom bought it,. It had died a long time ago and we need to do several several several passes to do 50%. We need a vacuum to last us another 16 years.
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.
Thanks, best review I’ve watched.
Thanks for saying so
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.
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.
The disadvantages of the hacks proposed are fully addressed in the video.
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
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 th-cam.com/video/11agqY2g1rM/w-d-xo.html
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 :(
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 '-').
What do you think about the V12 im comparison to the V11 and V15. Is it good value for money or is it better to spend little extra money to geht the v15?
V12 is for quick pickups and not a mains replacement. It is newer than the V11 but not in its class. It's more of a V8 replacement. The V15 is the upgrade to the V11-a full mains replacement.
I’m trying to decide between dyson v15 or a robot proscenic m8 pro self empty for a carpeted house.
Does using Boost mode on the V15 still increase filtration performance like it did on the previous generation?
Yes (up to the pre-motor filter), but not by an amount you'd really notice in general use in the home.
I love your review
Like the Dyson, this guy is the best reviewer on the market, and I’m looking forward to its arrival in my home.
Vacuum wars is good too
I received a warning to clear the filter at the first use. Is that normal ? Should I return the product ? Thanks !
Depends if it works. The warning messages tell you what to do.
Best review I have seen!!! I just got mine and your video answered all my questions about it!
Hello, thank you for your in depth review. Do you know if Dyson has addressed the issues with the trigger switch? -I have the V11 and my trigger switch broke.
I've seen no evidence there was any 'official' problem with trigger switches. 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. In cases where such failure has occurred, I've seen no evidence of how it occurred or, more importantly in determining whether it is a genuine problem, how it could be reproduced. So it's a very rare mystery.
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
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.
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!
The technology is forecast to be dominant by 2030
It is given dyson has invested time and effort in this for years. They are best positioned to revolutionise this field
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?
I wouldn't base buying decisions on specific individual elements. I'd look at the entire product as a whole and make a decision.
Thank you for the BEST review!!!!
Thanks. I'm intrigued what it is about this review that makes you think it's the best, though? :)
@@VacuumFacts (1) endless USEFUL info like using boost regularly is bad for the battery- not mentioned by anyone else. (2) one of the VERY few reviews with a unit not provided for free.
@@VacuumFacts I also loved your data and clear explanation of it. The way you explained that boost doesn’t clean better than auto, just faster, was wonderful
I'm glad what I've been trying to achieve has been recognised at least. Thanks.
I've reviewed the Absolute+ version too th-cam.com/video/4aL0eJenTqw/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for your review. At this price point, Is it worth waiting for the replacement V15 which is just around the corner?
Probably. Your money; your decision, though.
@@VacuumFacts Thanks; it is available in Australia, and reviews show it is heavier with a larger battery that contacts the user's arm. Picked up the V15 using Dyson's 20% discount.
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?
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.
@@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.
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'?
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.
Hello, excellent review! Just wondering if you've got any opinions about the Dyson v12 detect slim? I would love to go for the v15 detect, but that's not yet available in my country. Will have to pay a pretty huge premium to ship it in
Don't know much about it, but I think it's a 'quick pickup' machine that's not intended to replace a mains, and is thus in a different product tier to the V10/11/15.
8:12 Can I use the old or new mini turbine tool on hard surfaces? Like wooden stairs with no carpet
Yes
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
Ive not tested it (and never will), but according to Dyson, it isn't.
@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.
@@VacuumFacts thanks for the reply. how do you reckon it cleans compared to a Miele C3 or Sebo E3 (UK versions) which are regarded as the best cylinder machines on YT and Reddit etc?
I have no empirical data for those specific cleaners, but I have confirmed that it outperforms (albeit in boost) the best performing upright on the market (Dyson's final upright) measured independently to formal industry standards. And it does so with a fraction of the power consumption and weight.
It also outperforms, in normal (auto) mode, the staple mains cleaners I have tested on the toughest carpets to clean. It is therefore true to say that it is at least a mains equivalent cleaner and that it performs better than some popular mains cleaners.
@@VacuumFacts thanks, which mains cleaners does it outperform?
I've learned a large majority of the negative reviews on a lot of products out there are just ignorant people or paid shills. Glad i bought my first dyson v8 model instead of others brands. Works excellent although i sure do like that laser on the new model.
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.....
I agree they could streamline considerably. I reviewed another flavour of the V15 as well th-cam.com/video/4aL0eJenTqw/w-d-xo.html
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.
I thought they claim the true hepa versions (light blue?) go to 0.1um vs 0.3um in the normal ( purple) filter. They blowing smoke ( pun intended ) ?
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. I'm calling it as I see it. Maybe this is why the V11 wobbled compared to the V15. I currently have the V11 and never ancountered this problem. Btw, my house has heaps of carpet space. 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. The V15 doesn't do it at all, even if you dig down into the same troublesome carpet spots. It's the side-to-side motion which is the issue.
Would you still recommend the v11?? I’m just looking for a vacuum to run around a few times a day to keep control of things until I get my small ball out every week. Thoughts??
A V11 can replace your small ball entirely.
@@VacuumFacts I know but I don’t feel as if it’s as clean, I already bought it so I may as well use it and get my money’s worth
@@Homepage. Yeah. Although, psychological feelings have no relevance on matters of fact. The data shows unequivocally that the V11 performs at near mains-level, unlike anything else but the V10. And none of the hassle of a mains cleaner.
@@VacuumFacts yes I know, but like that one part of me is just gonna be ticked off lol
@vacuum facts hope you don’t mind me asking I wondered how your finding the performance of the new mini hair screw tool? I only ask as I’m looking at buying either the V11 or V15 and wondered if there was any difference in grooming and pickup knowing you’ve experienced both! Thanks
They seem to perform comparably, although obviously the hair screw is anti hair wrap too.
Thank you that’s great to know. The hair screw would probably be better for me with having a pet!
Never thought to enjoy TH-cam videos about vacuum cleaners
It could have been about anything really; the entertaining part is that the video presents facts and truth, and backs up claims with evidence. My whole channel has developed into myth-busting to counter a lot of rot out there that was misleading people.
This is the video that convinced me to purchase the product.
Best vac I’ve ever owned!👌🏾🔥
@@Tonabillity Yeah, it's also the best vac I've ever owned. Just so convenient and cleans as well as a mains without the hassle. Next stop: solid-state batteries.
@@VacuumFacts I just read somewhere that it’s the Apple of vacs. Sounds about right. Actually makes me look forward to cleaning!!
@@VacuumFacts I was surprised at how quiet it was, and how long the battery lasted!🔥
Hey im about to buy this vacuum. But v15 is out of stock and ive been waiting for months. Now i need one quickly. So my question is should i buy v10 or should i wait even more? V11 is out also. Thank you.
It's your money and so your decision. All I can do is provide you with facts which will help inform your decision. Very frustrating it's out of stock, but patience is a virtue. And yes, many products are suffering from stock shortages at the moment in the current economic climate.
I had the same frustration. However, I kept going to all the stores that carry them. Finally I found a Target that had ONE that just came in. Grabbed it. They are trickling in. Just be patient. NO, don't buy the 10, get what you really want. You'll find a 15 soon.
The v15 is back in stock at best buy ,you just need to have ship to your nearest best buy or shipped to your home. I order mine two days ago.
Just thought I'd mention something that was mentioned in a discussion thread:
Numatic tested Dyson and Shark cordless against the Numatic and the Dyson pivoting joint snapped with the equivalent of 1 years worth of use and the new Henry lasted 7 years.
Also Numatic are looking into making biodegradable bags in the future.
(this was apparently said by customer support)
Well that vague anecdote reliant on "something someone said" really convinced me and everyone else educated appropriately! Biodegradeable bags still constitute avoidable waste and carbon footprint. There's no point in mentioning these kinds of things. It comes across as a desperate barrel scrape in favour of Numatic in a tribal sense. The techology has been objectively surpassed decades ago. There's nothing admirable about that crude, old approach.
@@VacuumFacts Fair enough
As of mid 2022 Dyson includes the hair screw motorized mini tool with the V11 Torque Drive along with an illuminated crevice tool.
Got a link to that?
@@VacuumFacts I'm speaking from my own experience. I bought a Dyson V11 Torque Drive on 8/1/22.
Can you do a performance comparison of the V11 vs V15 on all three modes?
I was going to but I couldn't be bothered and eco and boost modes aren't relevant for carpet cleaning, especially as reactive suction is a thing, so there didn't seem to be a point.
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.
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?
@@VacuumFacts
Thanks for comment.

Other part of bin is empty in this img. But this part have dust catch which stops dust and block main bin's airflow .
@@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.
@@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.
@@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.
I live in Switzerland and v15 is not available, however v11 outsized absolute with laser head is available. Would you suggest me to buy the v11 outsized with laser head or to wait for the v15 detect to finally be available?
I m worry outsized is not easy to manoeuver or too heavy, and Wondering if v11 head is not too small compared to the 25%bigger head of the outsized.
Never got a dyson in the past.
Thx for your advice
Probably better to wait for the latest technology if money is no object. You can call Dyson to confirm if and when it's to be released.
@@VacuumFacts thanks for your advice. So you don't recommend the outsized over the Normal v15. Right?
@@mehdiflayelle I never recommend specific products; people can make their own minds up. But newer is usually better by definition.
@@VacuumFacts thanks for sharing and for your video. Appreciate
I can't believe I just watched a 30min review of a vacuum... That even if I was interested in a new vacuum could never afford
ha Well, at least you saw all my hard work to make this review
@@VacuumFacts Indeed, keep it informative, honest and... for the love of god... Don't sell out :p
I have the dyson 11 absolute with mostly hardwood floors. Do you think upgrading to v15 would be worth it or v11 is pretty similar and would make no sense. :) thank you
Up to you. Review the new features; if you feel you'd benefit and can afford, go for it. Otherwise, save your money.
I personally think the upgrade isn’t a must. Like he said if you can afford it go for it. I have a v8 and I just bought the outsize and I can definitely tell the difference .
@@paulae4146 Yeah, a V8 to outsize is a major leap. The V11 to 15 is smaller, but I was surprised by how much I prefer the V15 over the 11.
@@VacuumFacts I wanted the v15 but really needed the big bin of the outsize. Im done dragging my big dyson vacuum around. Mine is the newer version though.
I know I'm gonna end up buying the v15 lol
@@paulae4146 Probably wouldn't take much of a change to empty after every use (which is good for odours), which takes 5 seconds with the new mechanism. It's hard to fill its bin in one charge anyway.
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.
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.
@@VacuumFacts I have the same thoughts why they don't have the laser on the torque head. anyways, thanks to your review, the V15/V12 is still a no buy for me.
Great video and thank you.
I’ve got a V7 and V11. But I’m going to replace my V7 with a V15. I’ve watched all your videos and I’ve learnt lots.
I’ve never had any issues with the V11. V7 I’ve had to have a new brush bar head as it became impossible to move, but Dyson were superb and sorted with ease.
I’m a big believer in you pay for what you get. So I’m looking forward to the V15.
This will help with the Cat hairs from the 2 cats.
Keep the great videos coming.
Hope the video compensated for the junk out there. The US has a V15+ version now with better filter and an in-built crevice adn dusting tool inside the wand.
@@VacuumFacts yes. I’ve seen so many false things I pretty much don’t bother any more. Ive had Dyson for years so I know what they can do. For me is I can see and feel the carpets cleaned. I also can see the difference with the fans in pcs and laptops who own Dyson sand who doesn’t. I always say, do you have a Dyson by chance and then I show the clean fan inside.
But I didn’t know before your video was the Zorb powder. I’ve had some for ages but really didn’t understand it. So I’m actually going to use it soon on a carpet now thanks to your video.
@@VacuumFacts oh the V15+. That’s just typical lol of me just ordered it and couldn’t wait. lol. Oh well. I don’t mind.
@@VacuumFacts I’ve got a Dyson fan and this is the only fan I can sleep with. It’s perfect white noise as it’s a constant noise.
@@dfbiker I zorbed my carpets yesterday. Super soft now. And the V15 detected 2 billion particles or something. There's a 35 day money back guarantee. So get the best one you can afford, even if that's the V15+
Dyson Has another version of this called the V15 Detect Plus. Its got a filter that can trap particles at 0.1 micron. Great review!
Yeah, I'd heard about that. It was in fact what got me talking about the virus particle size. That newer filter should capture some of those viral particles, although I'm not clear to what degree of efficiency.
It also has a built in dusting and crevice tool, and removing wand reveals it.
@@VacuumFacts I saw that. So cool
@@VacMaster1991 now i have to return my v15, that crevice tool is very convenient, i hope they start selling at home depot or best buy, currently only sold through dyson.com
Very informative video! But wouldn't eventually needing to replace the battery be a running cost?
a) No more so than for any other battery-powered product. b) Their batteries are designed to retain 80% of their maximum original capacity after 15 years of use. So unless abuse has occurred, it should never need replacing for the intended lifetime of the product.
@@VacuumFacts so you're saying all the people who need to replace their batteries after 2-3 years are abusing their dyson stick vacs? Genuinely curious, how does one abuse a battery on a vacuum?
No, because that would be a silly thing to claim. 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. So there is evidence that one mechanism for premature failure is failing to follow the manual's instructions.
I almost purchased the V15 about a month ago after overheating problems with my Shark ION Flex cordless but after figuring out that my Shark was still under warranty I called the company and they sent me a brand new Vertex cordless. I know that no Shark can compare to a Dyson but The Vertex is good enough for now especially since I didn’t have to pay for it.
They replaced a cordless with an upright? That's not a good deal for a start from them. And because the cordless 'overheated'? How can it overheat?
Great review, thank you. Now I want to sell my V11 and buy the V15.
Go for it. But check they're in stock before you sell. The V15 complete model is now out too.
When I go back to the V11 now, I really feel like it's a noticeable downgrade. More impressed with the V15 than I was expecting.
So yeah, disappointing and misleading that Dyson picture the complete model as having the built in wand and crevice tool, but it's not actually provided. Maybe if it does become released in the future, Dyson will supply it if asked if you bought that model.
@18:30 looks like Dyson improved their filter even more with v15+ that mentions on the website to be HEPA and filtering down to .1 micron, no mention of HEPA filtering on the stardard v15
Cheers Mate.
Comprehensive. Good work. Useful tips. When I get this I’ll be upgrading from a DC11 😂
Quite the upgrade!
Can you test something for me? Which replacement parts are interchangeable between the V11 and V15? I bought the V11 revision with the click in battery and since you can buy the V15 main body with motor as a replacement part I was thinking that I could just buy that one to „upgrade“ my V11.
Well my V11 tools worked on the V15, but the V15 tools are far better and are the main reason to upgrade.
@@VacuumFacts Thanks for the answer! But that was not quite my question. Sorry, I‘m not a native English speaker an maybe I didn‘t ask the question well. Does the dust bin and filter from the V11 fit on the V15?
@@Phaios95 Not sure and not able to check unfortunately. Could always ask Dyson
@@VacuumFacts hi. Does both the battery and low reach tool from the v11 work on the v15? Hope you can help me
@@EduardoSilva-ft9wl I think so, but ask Dyson to check
Is the UK v15 animal the same as the absolute apart from not getting the fluffy head? Your review suggests I won't be using the fluffy head, so thinking I'd be better off with the animal. Great honest review BTW.
I'm not 100% sure what bits come with which models. Best check Dyson's website to be sure. I think the base unit is generally the same, so you can always buy missing bits separately anyway if you decide afterwards. The possible exception is the 'complete' model, which has a different wand with integrated crevice and brush tools (update: in the US only, it seems).
If your order the animal model make sure you order the Dyson Exclusive Animal Gold version which is same £499 price as the non exclusive animal. Our Exclusive V15 animal came with the light pipe crevice tool in the box even though it's not listed on the website as included you'll also get the new advanced HEPA filter which is meant to be better than the one included with the Nonexclusive V15 models. The Quick-release mini soft dusting brush was listed as coming with the exclusive Animal model but was not included and was not listed on the packaging instead it seems they replaced it with the light pipe crevice tool which was listed on the packaging. If you complain to Dyson once you have it they will send out the Quick-release mini soft dusting brush.
What a quality review! Dyson would be smart to snap you up as an employee!
They clearly have done it already ;)
@@krzysieknowak9722 I am dumb, why clearly?
@@jklokWhole channel is one giant advertisment for Dyson. Things he says are not lies, but Dyson does have quite a few flaws which are not pointed out.
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...
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.
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.
@@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.
Would you recommend buying Dyson V12 or V11. They are similar price range atm.
Once I watched your reviews I find all of other video or written reviews lacking in information for me to be able to make such a decision.
The V11 and V12 are different product classes. Unlike the V11 and V15, the V12 is not designed to replace mains cleaners and for quick pickups and short bursts of lighter cleaning. However, it does have some of the updated features of the V15. It's up to you which you buy.
@@VacuumFacts So I went and bought V12. I have 150m2, three cats and a baby that is just starting to crawl (so there was some urgency for us to buy something we can quickly pick up and was hassle free, as we have Karcher DS6). I vacuumed half of the apartment (kitchen and living room) and also did all the sofas and had half of the battery life left, so I would beg to differ that it is not just for quick pickups and short burst but I could very well clean the whole flat with one go. But anyway, thank you for your quick reply, appreciate it. And thank you for saving me money, at one point I was about to do something really stupid, like buying that Samsung jet!
@@Pangure Glad it suits your needs
@@Pangure *hey there did you buy Dyson V12? May i ask is it worth the money 💰 ? & do u like it?*
@@masochistarch1311 I did! I'm using it every day. It's really a game changer for me, every day using it I reinforce my opinion how a great investment it was. Can't compare it to other models as I didn't try them, but not once have I thought, oh I wish this had stronger suction or battery life or a bigger container.
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?
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.
@@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 TH-cam 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.
@@twync206 I don't think in all the years I've used them, with frequent disconnection, I've ever observed noticeable wear. I'm also still not clear what problem this actually caused. I've also not seen evidence it's a widespread problem, which complements the evidence I have seen of how savagely they're tested. As such, it's difficult to comment.
I'm trying to buy a vacuum for my nan. Disclaimer, she's quite old, but not frail. She also suffers from arthritis in the shoulder. Between this form factor and the cylinders, which would you recommend?
Both are comparably light to use but there's a lot more bending over with the cylinder form factor (getting it out, plugging in, reversing all that, unhooking the bin / changing bags etc.). Mains machines are typically heavier too but might be comparable weight during use. Stick vacs are a more modern and convenient formfactor.
@@VacuumFacts Thank you! I have bought the V10 which I think is the sweet spot out of all Dysons available options in terms of performance to weight.
Hi! Have you compared it to Dream or Xiaomi? I'm curious...
No, because there's no good reason to. To understand why at a technical level, see the reviews comparing the V11 to other copycat clones from a range of manufacturers.
@@VacuumFacts Thank you! I will! Loved your review by the way!
Hats off what a review!! Such transparency!!! I'm deciding between the v15 detect and the outsize absolute soo confused as its only £60 different
The V15 is newer with the latest technology. The Outsize is larger, but is essentially modified V11 tech with some V15 attachments. Unless you really need a slightly larger unit, the V15 is probably the better choice.
@@VacuumFacts thank you very much appreciate it! Will go for the v15 detect thanks i only need it for hardwood floors and the stairs have a vax for the carpet upstairs. Appreciated for the swift response
No problem. The Vax will likely be redundant in the presence of a V15, which is a mains replacement. The "Dyson V15 Detect Absolute + (Gold)" which is exlusive to Dyson's website is the flagship product, but there are other flavours which have various tools and features removed to reduce price slightly.
@@VacuumFacts would you recommend the dyson v15 detect or the v15 detect absolute +? As there's only a £30 difference thanks
@@Sadidesifamily Absolute plus is the higher grade product, with better HEPA filtration technology, a built in crevice tool into the wand, and a couple of other niche tools. As long as the £30 doesn't mean much for you. But it's your choice, ultimately.

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!
@@PennyCarlson-cy1iq So are flashing christmas lights taped onto the side.
@@VacuumFacts Nah, that would make the dirt look more like a horror show. lol
Having watched your videos, I know why Dyson cordless vacuums (even the full mains replacement like V15) have yet to incorporate/implement Kinetic tips (found on some of Dyson late main vacuums). It's because of the motor and the battery being technologically held back. I wonder when will Dyson create their ultimate cordless vacuums, which has the Kinetic tips on their cyclones.
Further context:
Volumetric flow needed to make Kinetic cyclones (cyclones with tips as I said) requires (much) more powerful motor, which would consume more power, therefore necessitate larger battery capacity. Dyson needs to make all of that into the package of a typical Dyson cordless vacuum (like the full mains replacement ones since V10).
@@absoluterainbow The motor is not the problem; it's the insufficient power density of the Li-ion battery technology to sustain sufficient minimum volumetric airflow and keep run times high.
@@VacuumFacts So that means battery isn't good enough to allow the motor to... Yeah.
What are your thoughts to the v12?
V12 is for quick pickups and not a mains replacement. It is newer than the V11 but not in its class. It's more of a V8 replacement. The V15 is the upgrade to the V11-a full mains replacement.
@@VacuumFacts Alright thanks and also you do an amazing job explaining dyson technology on your channel I’ve never watched such a in depth review
you really underestimate the usefulness of the lazer for more "conventional" cleaners, i hadn't realized how little/bad i was cleaning my floors, and i'm sure i would clean fine now, but that lazer helped me realize how much dust i was leaving behind with my old vacuum
My thoughts on the laser were fully justified in the video at 13:33 and your comment doesn't really address the points raised.
