I came to watch your video to help me decide which vacuum should I go for, and I almost fall asleep with your nice voice, you should do ASMR videos . Thank you for reviewing both vacuums btw.
Glad the video was helpful for you. I have just started another channel actually as i had so many people commenting about the same thing with ASMR www.youtube.com/@ASMR_Andy
Thank you so much, you give the best demonstrations, you explain everything simply & perfectly. My OCD is loving the Gen15 Model, Dust Laser, and as for the colour code that’s just music to my ears!🎉🎉🎉 Loosing the trigger is a game changer too and on Auto mode changes automatically for different floor types❤My only worry is I won’t put it down until my whole apartment reads GREEN!
Very interesting, thank you. I was actually trying to find out what the Docking Station looks like on a wall (I have limited space). I bought the V8 in 2016, in 2019 I bought a non-Dyson battery replacement, at some point the lock on the bin broke so I have to watch it doesn't open while I vacuum, and my finger starts to burn with the trigger device when I have used the vacuum a while. Otherwise, it does it's job but I feel it time we went our separate ways and I am seriously considering the Gen5; my trigger finger has had enough! 😀 By the way, just bought the Dyson Airwrap (for hair) and it's brilliant!
So basically if youre a regular person the v15 is a better option for being cheaper. If you really like the better laser, you can buy the gen5 hardwood head separately and just use that one. $30-50 head vs $350 barely better vacuum
the suction is significantly higher on a new vacuum but i didn't see the difference on the video, at all. Also battery is essentially bigger makes vacuum better.
@@droopybeagle i have been looking for this information all over and it's very hard to get answers. the website is also not entirely clear. but yeah, i think most newer v15s are coming with the exact same head as the gen5 (fluffy optic, no off button)
The ONLY 2 things to consider - The v15 is lighter but has a trigger pull instead of an on/off switch. Both have the same laser now. So are you willing to pay $200 more (current pricing) to have the switch instead of the trigger pull?
I just got the gen5 and I tried it out - I feel the suction is weaker than the v15 for some reason. I tried it on hardwood floors and some larger debris seemed to bounce away.
No, the battery isn't any bigger. In fact it has marginally smaller capacity. It has different shape (longer but narrower), but that's more for the redistribution of weight.
It’s longer because it’s a 10 cell pack, whereas the older model uses a 7 cell pack. The new vacuum runs at a higher voltage (36V vs 25.2V), which has some efficiency gains.
From UX point of view, without using the trigger is much better. Because when you use the trigger you actually grip it tighter and that’s tiring after awhile, especially the vacuum is heavy. I know it trigger is more natural but if you don’t need to press it down when you move around it’s actually quite easy to hold the stick. Think about driving on the steering wheel on a few fingers (yes not safe) vs gripping it while driving. You get the idea.
you jsut need to stop using the death grip and it's easy. I love the trigger more after getting accustomed to it. It was in the beginning where I wanted a button to keep it on but really, the trigger is so much more convenient. I do have to release it a lot of time and having to switch the button on and off all the time would be such an annoying thing. Also essentially as I said do not death grip the trigger. Just hold it as normal, no need to grip it any harder than you need for just holding the vacuum
did you also have a bad odor to the blue brush? i am washing it with hand washing liquid, but even after drying in the radiator, it still has a bad odor, are there any specific products that can make it smell nice? unfortunately i dont live in a sunny country and letting it dry outside is not possible. i actually did try to let it to the balcony but it stays wet, so radiator drying is the only solution for me, thanks!
I can’t tell if I should pay a $150 difference between models to get rid of the trigger. It’s a gift so I’m not sure…. Trigger just seems annoying… any thoughts? I hope I make the right choice!!
@@luv2learnify soooo I purchased this for Black Friday $200 off. Honestly the trigger isn’t a big deal. I like it, I use it everyday. It’s just fun to vacuum 😂😂
On the whole yes it can replace an upright vacuum as the suction is fantastic compared to some other cordless vacuums. You may still find that on deeper pile carpets a corded vacuum can be better
I just bought a V15 Detect Absolute directly from Dyson and I was confused at first because it actually has the same kind of connection at the vacuum base that you show here with the Gen5 where you connect that crevice tool, then the wand. and you need to keep that on there to attach other tools. I'm not sure why this is or maybe the latest Detect Absolutes are shipping with that feature. It was confusing to me at first a this is my first Dyson vaccum.
Do you like it? I was confused too so I’ve been looking up videos. I just can’t figure out why there’s such a big price difference for very minor upgrades.
@@jamesa8225Because Dyson is GREEDY! They keep changing names for the same feature and they can't seem to tell you what's in the box outright! It's also annoying that Dyson will add one feature (submarine) but make it completely incompatible with a newer vac (Gen5). All of this is intentional to confuse the consumer and to just get them to settle! Great demonstration though.
@@DHMeister They aren't greedy. They are trying to stay in business. That requires CONSTANT innovation and R&D. If you're in the market for a high-end Dyson then you aren't worried about stupid nonsense like this.
@@XxsoonerbornxX Do you work for their company? Just asking. It's greed. None of the other competitors are priced like that. And when I called, even the sales person didn't agree with their name changes and said it was confusing even to them. I don't think you should be concerned what I am or am not concerned about TBH. After doing my research (and I totally understand R&D and the costs) I won't be buying one from them. The Shark is a very nice option and competitive.
Thank you for the review! I am wondering which accessories are interchangeable between the 2 models? I assume that all the heads are compatible, but what about the filter and the battery?
Thanks for the video. Was going to buy a V15 but saw there is a Gen5. Just wanted to know the difference between the two. The price is huge (and in Russia it is very difficult to find Gen5 so far), but in fact no, in terms of cleaning quality. I'm gonna stick with V15.
Thank you! It is very confusing. We spoke with Dyson support 5 times (and twice in writing) in order to clarify if it is so. As a result, we have 2 written copies of their answer, one confirming that it has a HEPA filter and the other saying it does not. 3 out of 5 consultants we spoke to said it has, and two said it doesn't. As you see, it is very, very confusing )) We ordered V15 Detect Absolute and then changed it to V15 Detect Absoluteplus. I'm waiting for it to be delivered any moment now. Hope it was worth it @@lords-electrical
it's so stupid you need to press the button 3 times to go to boost. that should be the first option or have some type of switch , like the older models
seams like Gen 5 was a miss to price for same thing just more heavy and louder looks like bad deal V15 is better if i would buy one where price was not an issue would still get v15
Love how when you mention the 10 extra minutes of the gen5 you say yea its something that will make the difference, but when you mention the 500grs of difference in weight you say "for some it will make the difference ", lol. Dude, it DOES make a difference.
I prefer the button. But I’m going to admit I got used to the trigger and glad I have it so can save battery as the run time on the V15 isn’t that great I’m medium/Auto mode.
I can't believe that they chose the worst of all solutions, an awkwardly placed button, and removed the trigger completely. Having been a Dyson fanboy for almost 30 years, this (and the ridonculous aircleaning headphones) have killed most Dyson-enthusiasm for me.
@@lords-electricalI just bought the gen 5 from Harvey Norman on sale for $300 cheaper than the v15 which was also on sale for $1300. I found it strange that the gen 5 was so much cheaper being the successor. I’m stoked though.

Great review. Does Gen5's retractable wand fit on V15?
I'm a bit concerned with the Gen5 crevice tool. The tip is not narrow at all. How well does it work on hard to reach nooks and crannies?
It isn't really an issue, because the suction is very good, so despite the fact the crevice tool is wider, its never seems to have been an issue.
I can’t tell if I should pay a $150 difference between models to get rid of the trigger. It’s a gift so I’m not sure…. Trigger just seems annoying… any thoughts? I hope I make the right choice!!
That’s exactly the boat I’m in, the trigger and the fact that the crevice tool is built in is it worth it?😅
@@luv2learnify soooo I purchased this for Black Friday $200 off. Honestly the trigger isn’t a big deal. I like it, I use it everyday. It’s just fun to vacuum 😂😂
Do you think that the dyson gen5 detect can replaced an upright vacuum?
On the whole yes it can replace an upright vacuum as the suction is fantastic compared to some other cordless vacuums. You may still find that on deeper pile carpets a corded vacuum can be better
Amazing review ! Thank you
thank you very much
Can you help me please? When I use the carpet main attachment, it makes a heavy sound. I noticed it after the first use. What would be the problem?

Thank you for the review! I am wondering which accessories are interchangeable between the 2 models? I assume that all the heads are compatible, but what about the filter and the battery?
Great question, the tools will work between the 2 but the filter and battery will not switch between each other.
Can you use Gen5 nozzle head or parts with V15?
Yes the parts will fit each other
Which is the more premium product?
The Gen 5 is the top of the range vacuum.
They should have kept the trigger and used it for toggling boost, auto and eco.
Is the gen5 soft roller head interchangeable with v15?
Yes it works on both vacuums
Good question
J
Is the gen 5 better is it worth the extra money?
Really depends if the extra benefits of the Gen5 are worth it for you. For me personally the V15 would be enough
Thanks for the video.
Was going to buy a V15 but saw there is a Gen5.
Just wanted to know the difference between the two.
The price is huge (and in Russia it is very difficult to find Gen5 so far), but in fact no, in terms of cleaning quality.
I'm gonna stick with V15.
V15 dtc just stopped manufacturing, you can buy it with very low price right now. I just bought it with around 460usd. Definitely a bargain.

Na trigger was a flaw, all my Dyson’s the trigger broke. Less moving parts less chance of failure.
Exactly! it is one of the best features.
Trigger that can lock to the ON position would have been the best of both worlds…
now they sayon dyson web site that gen 5 got 280air watt may be because the new samsung bespoke jet ai got 280
Congratulations but I would like to know your preferences. I know mine.
I like the spec and runtime of the Gen5 but i prefer the price of the V15.
