Full Review

The Dyson V15 Detect Plus is a highly-rated, powerful cordless vacuum praised by experts and users for its exceptional cleaning performance on all floor types and its innovative laser dust detection technology. However, some reviewers note it is a premium-priced vacuum with a battery that drains quickly in high-power mode.

Key Features and User Experience

  • Powerful Suction and Versatility: The

    Dyson V15 Detect Plus

    has very strong suction (240 AW) that works effectively on both hard floors and carpets, easily picking up fine dust, large debris, and embedded pet hair. It seamlessly converts to a handheld vacuum for cleaning cars, upholstery, and stairs.

  • Laser Dust Detection: A green laser on the Fluffy Optic™ cleaner head for hard floors reveals microscopic dust particles that are invisible to the naked eye, making cleaning more thorough and almost satisfying for users.

  • Intelligent Features: A Piezo sensor counts and measures dust particles, displaying the information on an LCD screen. The vacuum automatically adjusts its suction power in Auto mode based on the floor type and the amount of debris detected, which helps optimize battery life.

  • Advanced Filtration: The fully-sealed, whole-machine HEPA filtration system is highly effective, trapping 99.99% of particles as small as 0.3 microns and expelling cleaner air, making it an excellent choice for allergy sufferers.

  • Helpful Attachments: It comes with several useful tools, including the anti-tangle Hair Screw tool, which uses a conical brush bar to remove long hair and pet hair from furniture without tangling.

  • Battery Life: It offers up to 60 minutes of run time in Eco mode, but this drops significantly (to around 9 minutes in tests) in the powerful Boost mode. The battery is swappable, so a spare can provide an extended cleaning session.
