Premium Dyson V15 Detect Extra Cordless Vacuum | Yellow/Nickel

I've never had a cordless vacuum cleaner before and I'm impressed with how powerful the suction is on the Dyson V15. It is excellent for pet hair ( I have 3 cats) and always leave fur about. The detangling brushes actually work as my daughters have long hair. I love the portability of the V15 as it's great for doing the stairs with the smaller attachments. I find it a tad heavy when doing the upholstery and curtains and the cylinder requires frequent emptying therefore not best suited for heavy traffic areas. The lint roller with the laser is fantastic on hardwood flooring as it shows where you have missed.

Dyson Trial Participant I have timber parquetry flooring which can embarrassingly hide a whole fish finger due to the pattern (ask me how I know this). It's quite difficult to know where I've vacuumed and where I haven't, so when I switched on the 'friggin laser beams' for my new vacuum, I was floored. Pun intended. That green laser showed up every spec of dust, every crumb, pet hair and fish finger I had on my floor (I have kids, no judgement please). It even lit up clear sticky tape. It was both horrifying and satisfying to then methodically vacuum the floor and know that I had (for possibly the first time ever) actually cleaned my floors. If you are used to vacuuming with the spinning brush head on hard floors and experience crumbs and bits and pieces flying off, then you need to get your hands on one of the fluffy cleaner heads as this picks up all those crumbs and is perfect for hard floors. I am used to using the V8 Dyson which I thought was pretty great. However, when I ran the V15 with the high torque cleaner head over our rugs, it was like I was vacuuming it for the first time. The amount of dust and dirt it picked up from the depths of our rugs, showed me that this Dyson is way more powerful than my previous Dyson. I also found the cleaning heads less bulky so I can now vacuum in the gaps on either side of my fridge to suck up long lost lego pieces and tumbleweeds of pet hair that always get stuck there without switching to the crevice tool. The bin seems to take up more of the length of the stick, but is still light and was super easy to empty. The auto cleaning mode is like cruise control on the car. It will detect if you are vacuuming up some bigger particles and give you a boost of power and suction. No more switching manually between the modes. Lastly, the digital display is awesome. In particular, I loved knowing exactly how long I had left in the battery for vacuuming and it even gave me a 5-minute warning before the battery was going to die on me. On that note, it also had enough battery life to vacuum the entire house (6 bedrooms) and rugs. Normally, I have to charge the battery in between doing the hard floors and rugs. Overall, the laser was a simple but genius addition. The novelty of it meant I was fighting with my kids over who gets to vacuum (seriously!). The suction and power from the Dyson stick vacuums just keep getting better and better. Love this machine. What a beast.
