Dyson V15 Detect

Dyson cordless stick vacuum

8.6DustScore

$649.99

Verdict

Still the cordless benchmark: laser illumination shows the dust, the piezo sensor counts it, and suction embarrasses everything here.

Pros
  • Laser Detect reveals invisible dust
  • Class-leading suction
  • Whole-machine HEPA filtration
Cons
  • Expensive
  • Small bin means frequent emptying
  • Trigger ergonomics divide opinion

Best for: Buyers who want the best and will pay for it.

Skip it if: Budget-limited homes — the value picks are close for less.

Written reviews elsewhere

  • “The Dyson V15 is a decent option for cleaning a house. It offers very good performance on both bare floors and carpet, and is particularly effective at removing pet hair.”

    RTINGS
  • “Spoiler alert: we’re big fans of the V15, but there are a few things to criticize about it as well.”

    Vacuum Wars
  • “And while we didn’t swoon over the Dyson V15, we do think it’s a solid cordless vacuum.”
