According to our vacuum expert
The Dyson V15 Detect Absolute is a powerful smart stick vacuum. The battery has a duration of 1 hour, so you can vacuum both downstairs and upstairs. On the LCD screen, you can see the remaining battery life and the type of dirt that you remove from the carpet or hard floor. The special piezo sensor measures and counts the smart particles that end up in the dust cup. This way, you'll know if you're dealing with allergens, pollen, mites, or regular dust particles. The vacuum also adjusts its suction power accordingly. The vacuum includes multiple accessories, including a screw-shaped mini turbo brush. You can use this to remove pet hairs from your furniture in no time. Thanks to the new shape, hair and dirt won't get stuck as easily anymore, which ensures even better cleaning.
The green laser
In addition to the torque brush, you also get a fluffy brush. The fluffy brush is made for hard floors and has a green laser. This laser is positioned at an angle of 1.5 degrees and 7.3mm high. That way, even the smallest dust particles of 0.01mm become visible for the naked eye.
Complete thanks to the accessories
You receive many accessories, including the new screw-shaped mini turbo brush. Thanks to its shape, the brush easily collects pet hairs without getting stuck between the bristles. In addition, you can clean deep into the fibers of the carpet or upholstered furniture thanks to these rotating bristles.
Automatic suction power control
In the automatic mode, the V12 automatically adjusts the suction power. For example, the suction power increases when you vacuum a carpet, because the vacuum experiences more resistance. This ensures a constant suction power.

In the meantime, I've been using the Dyson for several weeks and I was able to compare enough with other stick vacuums to know what meat I had in the tub. Design
The Dyson is not an ugly thing. Although you can hardly ever call a vacuum cleaner beautiful ;) Anyway, just like most stick vacuums, the design of the Dyson is also okay. Looks modern. Thanks to a large color display, you can also read all the information clearly and you can also see a detail of exactly which type of dirt/dust particles you have vacuumed. For me the latter is not a real must - I'm already happy that the dirt just disappears - but you may have an audience that likes to get some extra details about this. Thanks to a small button you can also perfectly choose the right position.
suction power As you would expect from a Dyson, this stick vacuum certainly has sufficient suction power. You also have the choice to vacuum in ECO, AUTO or BOOST mode. The chosen strength has of course an influence on the battery life, but you can use the vacuum cleaner for a sufficient time in each position.
Weight / Size The first point that really bothered me about this device. It's heavy. If this is the first stick vacuum you've ever picked up, you might not pay much attention to it, but this caught my eye right away. The weight in itself should not be a nuisance, but unfortunately it is. Because the device is so heavy in the hand, you even get back pain or pain in the wrists after a while. The weight is mainly due to the heavy battery. When you disconnect these, you immediately notice the difference. (but hey, you do need the battery ;) ) Even if you have to vacuum low to the ground and this automatically bends your knees, you notice that the weight automatically becomes annoying. If you only have to vacuum for a few minutes and do a round of the table, you will certainly not be bothered by this. But if the intention is to go around the entire room or the entire house, you will certainly suffer. If you use the device in handheld mode (i.e. without the long stick) to vacuum your car or the seat, for example, you will suffer the most. The top part of the vacuum cleaner (i.e. the part with the reservoir and battery) is also quite large. It is therefore not easy to maneuver in a smaller space. A lot of accessories are of course included to easily get between cracks and crevices, but if the space itself is too tight, then it just doesn't work (I'm thinking of vacuuming the car, for example).
Turn on and off Easy Peasy. Just push the push button and the Dyson V15 starts working. It is annoying that you have to keep this button pressed while vacuuming. I am a bigger fan of an on and off button. That will save you cramping in the index finger! Emptying the reservoir is also very easy and you don't have to get your hands dirty!
laser light The fluffy floor brush is equipped with a green laser light. A big difference with other stick vacuums that do not have a light or a 'normal' light. The main purpose of this laser is that you can see the dust particles on the floor very well and therefore also see which places you still need to visit. If it's dark or you're vacuuming in a dimly lit room, you can indeed see the dust particles perfectly. However, if it is a well-lit room, the laser light will have little effect, because you can't see the dust or dirt on the ground better. Stick vacuums from other brands with a "normal" light are not bothered by this and also work perfectly in a well-lit room.
Attachments and accessories The Dyson V15 Detect Absolute comes with a lot of different brushes and attachments. For me personally this was more disturbing than an advantage. When you're vacuuming, you just want to be able to hurry. If you have to change brush or piece in between and you have to interrupt the vacuuming, I experience this as a nuisance because I cannot continue working. I also tend to use the carpet brush constantly because of this. It also works on a smooth surface, but then you have to add the extra noise (after all, the floor brush is made of a softer material and makes a lot less noise) and it also has no laser light. However, if you have carpet and floor in your house that are constantly alternating, you will not want to constantly switch between the carpet and floor brush... The so-called Torque floor nozzle (I just call it the carpet brush) is really wow. It gets through any carpet without any problem. Whether it is a short carpet or a deep pile, this brush can handle it without any problems. It doesn't get stuck and thanks to the great suction power, all the dirt comes along smoothly. Super! The carpet brush also has a smaller brother that is mainly intended for vacuuming seats. I took a look at our seat and was shocked to see how much dust and dog hair came out of it. With a classic vacuum cleaner, a lot of dirt is clearly left behind, while this Dyson has no trouble getting it off. For me, the carpet brush and seat brush are clearly the biggest assets of the device.
The many attachments can also be experienced as annoying because of course you want to store them all easily in the cupboard / on the wall. You can attach the Dyson charger to the wall, but the fact remains that you still have to give a few pieces a place...
Battery I have no complaints about the battery life. You can vacuum for a long enough time without coming to a stop on the way. The automatic adjustment of the suction power is ideal in that sense because you never use too much energy. The remaining battery life is clearly indicated in minutes and seconds, which I think is an added value compared to a vacuum cleaner that works with percentages. The duration of course also constantly adjusts itself according to the chosen strength.

This wireless Dyson V15 Absolute has been in use for a few weeks now. Really no regrets . Previously had another brand and it let the dirt fall out when hanging it on the charger. When this vacuum cleaner arrived, I already noticed a big difference when opening the box.
What struck me was that the box is very compact. Once opened I was surprised by the quality , the weight . The reviews state that the vacuum cleaner is heavy. The material feels sturdy and solid. Feels good in the hand. The Dyson V15 is really a sight to behold , the eye also wants something . The amount of accessories are really a pure indulgence. So much and so very useful! The included accessories are a joy to work with in the house and car.
Included with the V15 Absolute are: *Accessory for hard to reach places. *Torque floor nozzle nickel. My favorite when it comes to dried sand and hair from our dog on the mats and stairs.
*Laser slim fluffy floor nozzle. The laser light shows you exactly where you've been and where you haven't. The first time you are really surprised at what was left behind .
*Combination accessory. Easy and fast click and continue .
*Soft dusting brush. Honestly I dust a lot with it. The bristles are very soft and do not scratch. Furthermore , the V15 is so pure thanks to the HEPA filter that the emissions are very pure .
*Brush for stubborn dirt. For the harder work.
*Accessory clamp for the rod. Easy to attach to the vacuum cleaner rod. The charger and the wall charging station.
Charging the battery takes about 3.5 hours when it's empty and it lasts about 60 minutes full according to Dyson. With a full load I did the living room, kitchen, lounge, bedrooms, both toilets. s, hall a staircase and attic plus bathroom. The first conclusion. This V15 really does have power.
The screw-shaped tangle-free brush took so much dust from the stairs (carpet) that I was really surprised about this. Not to mention the topper and the box springs.
The spots I had vacuumed the day before with the canister vacuum were still very full of dust, mites and microscopic particles. By using the Slim Laser Fluffy Brush I could see exactly how much dust was there. The sensor reacted fully and always adjusted the suction power. On the tile floor, vinyl and on the carpet. Everywhere I was amazed at the fact that there was still so much dust and how the V15 reacted to this. What I could not see with the naked eye, the fluffy Laser made clearly visible.
I find the overview in the display very useful because you can't see all the dirt and dust with the naked eye. The display also shows what is actually sucked up in terms of dust, fine dust, mite and sugar grain size. The three different modes are easy to use at the push of a button. You can also see how much battery life you have left.
The accessory for difficult places can now be reached anywhere under the sofa or box spring with a click. Don't forget the cabinets either. This normally takes a lot of time and energy because you have to sit on your knees a lot. That is now a thing of the past. I can now easily go under it without having to move everything. Ideal. It saves so much time and here again thanks to the Laser fluffy good view of where the dirt is. Working high or low. Nothing is too crazy for this all - expert .
So far positive on the use of this very versatile vacuum cleaner / luxury handheld. Even my daughter likes to vacuum.

The v15 both likes and dislikes. It's actually a glorified petty thief. Handy for sure, but it's more of a side-by-side vacuum cleaner than a main vacuum cleaner.
To give you an idea of the situation in which the v15 has to do its job: we are a family with two young children and a dog with long hair. The surfaces are mainly smooth and hard (oak parquet, PVC floor and power floated concrete). But we also have dry-running mats, a short-pile rug and carpeted stairs.
The squeegee with laser: This one is very narrow, so you can spend a lot of time vacuuming. Our reference is a Miele Parquet brush XL, which is wider than most standard brushes that you get with a vacuum cleaner, so a difficult competitor in this case. The laser is a good addition if it is dark enough. In a lot of daylight you notice that the effect of this is as good as gone. The brush cleans smooth surfaces well, but it has to rely on the brush because the suction power is insufficient. You notice this when, for example, there is a crack in the floor, it hardly picks up the dirt that is in between, not even in the turbo mode and dirt from around the brush is not really sucked in, you have to go over it.
The carpet brush: This is a big plus. For reference, we also have a Miele Turbo Brush. The Miele loses its rotational speed after a few square meters and at a certain point it stalls. This is because long hairs (dog hairs) get stuck and the brush silts up. The Dyson brush does not suffer from this, which is very nice. In addition, it grips well on carpet and absorbs noticeably a lot of dirt. This has been tested on a short pile rug. The brush gets stuck on dry-running mats, so you have to open a cover so that the mouth doesn't get stuck. You will lose effectiveness.
The helical brush: Fine brush for carpeted stairs. It also does not get stuck on hair. A disadvantage is that it does not take the edges well, you still have to imitate these with a narrow suction nozzle. A big plus compared to a standard vacuum cleaner is that you don't have to wrestle with a cord and a heavy vacuum cleaner.
Other: The battery lasts well, about 30 minutes. This is enough to do a lot of vacuuming. The suction nozzles are generally all too high to easily get under furniture, sofas and beds. We've had a corded Dyson before, this was the case there too and seems a bit typical of Dyson.
Conclusion: I don't regret the purchase, but I think the vacuum cleaner is worth €300 rather than €749. We now see the v15 as a vacuum cleaner for the side, so in addition to a standard vacuum cleaner with cord as the main vacuum cleaner. It's handy for touch-ups in between and great for the carpet and stairs. But as a main vacuum cleaner you spend much longer and you certainly don't get it clean as well as with a standard vacuum cleaner with a cord.
