Dyson V12 Detect Slim is Dyson's lightest intelligent cordless vacuum with laser illumination. It is engineered with the power, intelligence, versatility, and run time to deep clean your whole home in a lightweight, compact format. A laser on the Laser Slim Fluffy cleaner head reveals invisible dust on hard floors. In auto mode, the machine optimizes power and run time based on the debris picked up, reporting it all on the LCD screen. Dyson's de-tangling Motorbar cleaner head deep cleans carpets and hard floors with hair removal vanes that clear long hair and pet hair from the brush bar. Its versatile cordless format transforms into a handled vacuum with one click so you can clean up high, down low, and everywhere in-between. Comes with a 2-year warranty and lifetime Dyson support.
Q: Do you need to change cleaner heads when moving from vacuuming hardwood floors to vacuuming rugs?
A: In my experience, yes. My carpet is medium pile. When going from hardwood to carpet, I would have to change head. I would NOT recommend this vacuum. Get animal 3 unless you really need features of stick vacuum.
Q: Do you have to hold the power button on to use?
A: Hello, No you don’t need to hold the power button that was the big difference with the V-12. The only thing that’s disappointing about the V-12 is the trash canister. Dyson should have made it bigger,so you will have to empty constantly while cleaning. I chose th V-12 over the V-15 due to the lightness. V-12 is lighter than the V-15.
Q: Hi, is this a good one when you have pets?
A: In my opinion, no. Here’s why. I had this vacuum for a few hours before returning it. I have dogs, a Boston terrier and pit I’ll mix. Occasionally we babysit friends animals. There can be a lot of dog hair on our floors. I’ll say this, I’ve own the original Dyson ball, v12, v15, and animal 3. The animal 3 performs the best out of the bunch. The stick vacuums didn’t pick up nearly the amount of hair/dirt/etc as the animal 3.
A: Definitely the v twelve the v fifteen is way too heavy. I'm 80 one, so I'm old., Tried the v fifteen and found it way too heavy.
A: Hey Eric, this is Kelly with Dyson. The run time you receive on this machine will vary from 5-60 minutes. When using on carpeting with the Motorhead, you should get 5 minutes in high, 20 in medium and 30 minutes in low. When using on hard flooring with the Motorhead, run time is the same, except in low mode, you should get closer to 40 minutes. If you're using the Fluffy floor head, you'll get 5 minutes in high, 30 in medium and 50 minutes in low mode. When you're using any non-motorized attachment, you'll get about 5 minutes in high, 30 in medium and 60 in low mode. Best wishes, Kelly Dyson Customer Support
A: This machine does great job at putting hair in the catch container and off the roller. I live with big foot so I should know
Q: do all the v11 attachments work with v12?
A: Hi Nick, this is Kelly with Dyson. Any non-motorized parts from the V11 will fit on and work with the V12. Best wishes, Kelly Dyson Customer Support
A: Hi there, this is Kelly with Dyson. The V12 Detect Slim is a more compact machine, and therefore the clear dust bin is a smaller size as well - if you find that you are picking up a lot of debris or pet hair on a regular basis, you may find this unit too small. One thing you may appreciate about this model, however is the de-tangling vanes built in to the cleaner head which automatically clean wrapped hair from the brush bar while you vacuum.
