DysonV15 Detect Plus Cordless Vacuum, Yellow/Nickel

We recently replaced most of our carpeted floors with hardwood and wanted an upgrade from our very old Dyson animal vac. With two dogs that shed, using microfiber mops daily was just not cutting it, and using the attachments with the old vac seemed to take forever. I thought an upgrade could be a a better option.I liked the idea of a rechargable stick vac…much lighter to use and could be used even for quick cleanups. When I saw this one, I thought “ooh! A light to help me see where I’ve been!”. That light has now become both a blessing and a curse.The first time I used it, I was disgusted. I had just vacuumed the day before, and when I gave the one one a try, I was shocked by how much dog hair was on the floors that only seemed to show under that bright green light! Now I am obsessed with vacuuming. It really does help you find every tiny little piece of dust, and there are so many attachments to get that allow it to be used everywhere (car, furniture, walls, crevices, etc.). I also like that it’s so much quieter than our regular old Dyson, but still pretty powerful.

I replaced a Dyson 4th or 5th gen cordless vac with the new V15. We loved our Dyson until the motor started to hiccup and decided it was time to upgrade after over 10-12 years and getting a new, very furry friend. We have the Shark cordless pet vacuum for the carpet and used the Dyson for the wood floors. We've been happy with the Shark on carpet and how it doesn't get clogged with pet hair like the other many vacuums we've tried.Immediately at 1st use of the Dyson V15, I was amazed! This thing is AWESOME and puts the Shark to shame! The suction power is top notch. I can't use it on one of my rugs without holding the sides because it sucks the rug into the vacuum - that's a GOOD thing. Every room I vacuumed filled the reservoir - eww... but satisfying. The attachment that shows the micro particles through the green light is icing on the cake. I go through each room with the large anti-tangle attachment then again with the fluffy light attachment. That gets everything.It's weird and very adult of me to say, but this was the best present for myself - I LOVE to vacuum now.Get the V15!

We love our Dyson V15—it’s easily one of the best home purchases we’ve made. It’s super lightweight, easy to maneuver into tight spaces, and the cordless design means no more stopping to unplug every time you move rooms. Total convenience!But the real showstopper? That green laser light. It’s both amazing and horrifying—it reveals every speck of dust you didn’t know existed. Honestly, it’s kind of addictive… cleaning feels like a game now because you can actually see what you’re getting rid of.It’s high-tech, efficient, and makes vacuuming weirdly satisfying. If you’re even considering it, just go for it—you won’t regret it.

Couple things here, the vacuum is great albeit expensive. The submarine (wet mop) attachment is just okay. If you understand what the actual function is then you will be fine with it. It doesn’t suck anything up but rather dispenses water/detergent and rolls. It’s fine for me because my main use is to do quick cleans on dog prints, etc. Don’t expect it to perform major cleans. If I was to grade the vacuum and attachments, 4.5 stars, minus a half star for price. I would give the submarine attachment 2.5 stars.However, the submarine attachment worked for a max combined time of 60 minutes, or roughly 3 months of use for me. Contacted Dyson support, went through all the troubleshooting and concluded that the submarine head would need to be replaced, free of charge, under warranty. Great. But no submarine heads are in stock, and they don’t know when they will be. Fast forward 4 months and there are still no submarine heads in stock, still don’t know when they will be. The issue I am having, and I have had this before with Dyson, is they DO NOT PRIORITZE THEIR CURRENT CUSTOMERS. The entire package was in stock on day 1 and has remained in stock this whole time. So yes, they are building and selling the submarine heads but only for people that are buying the whole package new. Apparently, it is not conducive to their profit scheme to set some of those units aside as spare parts to supply their CURRENT customers with replacement units. If you look through the reviews, the submarine head breaking early on in its life cycle is a known issue. What has Dyson done to resolve this? Nothing.So, I am left with the option to continue waiting an indefinite period of time or send my whole vacuum system into Dyson and once it is received in the warehouse and verified, they will send out a replacement unit. Sounds like the best case is 3 weeks without a vacuum. I use the vacuum everyday. When asked if they could send the replacement first, and then once received I would return the old unit, I was told this is impossible. They cannot do that. (Well yes they could, they just decided their policy would say they could not). I offered to give my credit card info and if it wasn’t returned in a set amount of time they could charge me until it was. Nope. Impossible.Dyson typically makes a great product, minus the submarine head that seems to have issues left and right. But I have NEVER been satisfied with their support.

I should've taken a before picture, but all of the dust and cat fur in the canister here was taken off this rug. It hasn't been that long since I vacuumed, my prior one just couldn't remove it because the rug had a grip on it. The suction is so powerful that yes, I had to hold down an edge with my foot to keep the rug flat so I could actually vacuum it, this is an even bigger issue if your rug is smaller and or has a rubber bottom, but at that point just wash it in my opinion. It will try and lower the speed to avoid getting stuck, which can also help. Switching to the foam head with the light was amazing for knowing which spots I had vacuumed. Very satisfied with my purchase!
