This vacuum is amazing. It's our first wireless vacuum so we didn't know what to expect up front other than the premium Dyson price tag. We started using it and found that the battery lasts longer than what we need to get most jobs done. If you are vacuuming the whole house (ours is a two story 4 bedroom), then it would need a recharge between floors at most (one hour give or take). I will mention it is a little heavy. It has strong suction and picks up everything well. I really like the green laser-like light that comes on to show you what's there (hair, dirt, etc.) That works really well and I'm not sure how we gaged cleanliness prior to this? The attachments all work well and go on and off well too. It takes a couple of hours between full charges. We also bought a stand for it online which makes keeping it together much easier.

The Dyson Gen5detect cordless vacuum is truly exceptional. It combines powerful suction, smart technology, and incredible ease of use in one sleek machine. From the moment I started using it, I could see and feel the difference in how clean my floors were — the laser dust detection is amazing and actually shows you what you’re picking up! It’s lightweight, quiet, and super easy to maneuver around furniture. The LCD screen is very useful — it shows particle levels, battery life, and cleaning mode in real time. Plus, the run time is great — I can clean my whole apartment on a single charge. The 7 included accessories make it perfect for every surface and every corner — floors, couches, stairs, even hard-to-reach spots. Switching attachments is fast and easy, and emptying the bin is completely mess-free. This vacuum makes cleaning feel high-tech and even a little fun. Dyson nailed it again — the Gen5detect is worth every dollar. If you’re looking for a top-of-the-line cordless vacuum, this is it. Highly recommended!

[Employee of bestbuy] So I may be coming back to revisit this, but my initial impressions are this is a great vacuum. Battery life is great, has excellent suction, a decent set of accessories to start (though I wish Best Buy carried the add-on accessories that you can get direct from Dyson), and was easy to setup and get working. My only concern after having it for just over a month is the main attachment for use on carpet (see photos) has a wheel on its base that popped off and it appears that the screw broke. I exchanged it in store with no problem, but now I’m left wondering if it’s an engineering issue and it’ll do it again or if it was just a quality control issue and it’ll last for years. I’m still going to recommend it though as Dyson quality is typically very good and I’m leaning towards my experience just being a QC issue. If issues persist I’ll revisit and downgrade my score, otherwise I’ll come back after six months or so and put my score to five stars if things go smoothly.

We have owned a Dyson for 10 plus years. The v10 we had before still works well (so we thought) but the roller broke. We purchased this Dyson, after first use, we can tell that our previous one was not working as well as we thought. It managed to pick up more dust/debris from the carpets. We also have wood floors and the feature to see the dust/debris on there is awesome. I like that it shows the remaining batter time and you don’t have to hold a button for it to run, just press the power button once. It is a little heavier than the other vacuum but not much. Everyone in the family is able to use it without a problem. Hope this one last 3-5 years as well.

I absolutely love my Dyson Gen5detect—this vacuum has completely changed the way I clean. The green laser light is honestly mind-blowing; it reveals dirt and dust you didn’t even know was there. It’s both satisfying and slightly terrifying at the same time The suction power is incredible, and it makes my floors feel truly clean, not just “looks clean.” If you’re someone who likes things spotless (or has a bit of OCD like me), be warned—you might find yourself vacuuming twice a day because you can’t unsee the dust once that light hits it Definitely one of the best purchases I’ve made. Highly recommend!
