In the box, you also get a crevice tool, dusting brush, stubborn dirt brush and combination too. That’s pretty much every accessory you could need for daily cleaning. The battery itself is small, so it fits easily on a bedside table or the like. Can you leave Dyson on charge all the time?

You’ll barely have to do anything. In addition, it also saves battery and improves the cleaning performance. The Anti-Hair Function (Anti-Tangle): The new anti-tangle High Torque cleaner head features 56 polycarbonate teeth that prevent hair from tangling around the bristles. In testing, this attachment was also free of hair after a thorough pass over my carpeting. If you have long hair or live with someone who does, this anti-tangle attachment is a big plus. You have to free both the high torque cleaner head and the Fluffy head from dirt and hair regularly. While we can’t fault the suction of the V15 Detect - it collected all of the dirt and debris such as small stones and even a few leaves, along with human hair that had collected on the driver’s seat with ease, in handheld mode the vacuum is bulky. This meant we struggled to fully vacuum under the driver and passenger front seats, as well in the storage areas on the center console, which frequently attract dust and debris.

The V15 Animal on the other hand has a little less accessories. But it is also a little cheaper. All Dyson V15 Models at a Glance The anti-tangle hair screw tool, also new to this generation, is another standout attachment. It features a cone-shaped brush bar that "spirals hair off and into the bin." Dyson says it tested the tool to ensure it prevents both human and pet hair from becoming wrapped around the brush bar. Combined with the V15 Detect's strong suction power, this attachment easily lifted dog fur from couch cushions and pillows, far surpassing the performance of my older V8. All of that fur was successfully transferred to the bin, with not a single piece left behind on the brush bar. The Complete includes even more accessories, but that’s the only difference between the two variants.

The filter gets clogged over time. Therefore, we recommend tapping out the filter every two weeks and washing it once a month. Can I Buy the Filters Later On, Too? If you want the most advanced cordless vacuum cleaner, the Dyson V15 Detect is it. It’s extremely powerful, and its clever Auto mode and laser make it easier than ever to clean thoroughly. The Torque Drive has even more improvements to offer. Unlike the Torque Drive of the Dyson V11 Absolute, the new floor nozzle has an anti-hair resp. “anti-tangle” function now.Really, I found no need for the Boost mode, although it’s nice to know that the extra power is there if needed. The charging time is quite long – 4.5 hours. We noticed this with many cordless vacuum cleaner models. It seems like the next stage of development is necessary for better battery performance. scrolled cyclones generate forces of up to 100,000g to capture dust and debris from the airflow, so there’s no loss of suction.³ I'm generally unbothered by this issue because I primarily rely on robot vacuums for my floors, and only use the V15 Detect (and my older V8) for touch-ups as well as cleaning my couch and car. If you plan to use the V15 Detect as your primary vacuum, this limitation may annoy you, especially if you have a large home.

The Dyson V15 feels good in the hand. It glides straight across the floor, especially with the Fluffy attachment. On Auto mode, battery life differs depending on how much power is needed. Expect around 40 minutes or so of power. There’s a large 0.75-litre bin in this model, which meant that I could largely complete a clean before having to empty it. Dust is ejected forwards and down, so it’s pretty clean emptying this cleaner, and you can remove the entire bin for full cleaning.The lighter and smaller the vacuum cleaner, the easier it is to handle. The powerful suction takes its toll here, though. Not only that but the piezo sensor is also used with the two main floor heads, the Laser Slim Fluffy and the High Torque cleaner head with anti-tangle comb, to automatically adjust the vacuum cleaner’s power according to the level of dirt.

A Highlight: The floor nozzle uses a sensor to detect the floor type and adjusts the cleaning mode/suction power accordingly. As the name gives away, this also the first cleaner head from Dyson to have anti-tangle tech, which means that hair (human or pet) doesn’t get caught around the roller. The same tech is on the mini brush, which is great for stairs, sofas and pet beds. Finally, we have a Dyson cleaner that doesn’t require hair to be cut away from the roller.The V15 weighs 3.1 kg, so it doesn’t stand out from the competition. The weight is one of the few categories in which the V15 is quite average. Dyson UK installed some kind of comb inside for this. It can prevent hairs from wrapping themselves around the brush.
