Dyson V15 Detect

No continuous on button ; Battery life could be longer

Powerful suction ; Laser highlights microscopic dust on hard floors ; Compact and lightweight

Expensive ; Average-sized dust canister

The Dyson V15 Detect is the brand’s most powerful vacuum to date, sucking up dust and debris with ease. The laser highlights dust on hard floors that the human eye can’t see, and it’ll even count the dust particles, displaying the information on-screen...

Excellent cleaning power ; Advanced air filtration ; That laser REALLY shows up dirt ; Light weight ; Battery-preserving auto mode

'Dust detect' feature seems a little pointless

It's not a huge step up from the V11 but, okay, Dyson V15 Detect now officially supplants it as the world's best cordless vac. The previously invisible dirt revealed by its laser is truly grotesque, but there's no faulting its light weight, impressive...

The best cordless cleaning around ; Anti-tangle hair screw is brilliant ; Laser Detect works well in darker spaces ; Excellent accessories ; Wall-mount included

So very costly ; Laser Detect can seem gimmicky ; V10/V11 almost as good for less money

This cordless vacuum cleaner is the best-of-the best - and therefore is priced as such. If you want the finest cleaner around then look no further - but be prepared to pay for it.

Crazy amount of attachments ; Anti-tangle brush is brilliant for pet hair ; More power and better battery life ; Acoustic sensors and laser definitely work

Extremely expensive ; Acoustic sensors and laser could be considered overkill ; Too much packaging ; Panel data readouts only useful for dust nerds

Ludicrously expensive, but ludicrously good, Dyson wipes the floor once again

Effective anti-tangle heads ; Useful new technology ; Good balance of power and battery life

Expensive ; Heavy

Dyson has done it again. This cordless stick vacuum cleaner tackled everything we threw at it, with cleaning power that’s just as good as its previous models, and backs this up with a slew of new and worthwhile features.

Outstanding cleaning ; Replaceable battery ; Laser lets you see dirt

Expensive ; Short battery life for carpets ; Full charge takes 4.5 hours

Highly impressive cleaning power and versatile enough to clean hard floors, carpets, stairs and even your car. The V15 Detect's laser shows you where dirt is and the brushes don't get tangled up with hair.

Excellent ergonomic design ; Easy plug-and-play attachments and conversion from floor to hand-vac use ; Remarkable suction power ; Fun LCD display and green laser floor illuminator ; Point-and-shoot dustbin emptier keeps your hands clean

Power heads can damage hand-woven rugs ; No rug-cleaning attachment that is not equipped with a beater bar ; Steep price tag

My seasoned, Iranian-born almost had a heart attack when I bragged about testing a powerful new Dyson vac with an always-on motorized roller head. “Stop that!” he declared. “It’s pulling out threads, destroying your rugs! Only use a vacuum cleaner with...

Cordless. Easy to use. Lots of useful accessories.

Too heavy! Cleaning the dust bin could have been easier
