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.

Dyson Perfection – Gen5detect is a Cleaning Powerh

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!

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.

Wary and worried but satisfied initially

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.

Got this one for my wife and I to use, and I think I ended up liking it more! The green detect laser is PHENOMENAL. It’s light, well balanced, easy to empty and clean, and has great power for picking up dust, hair, and dirt.

Powerful, sleek & versatile. I was hesitant to purchase it at first because of the hefty price tag and the variety of cheaper options but I have to admit this blows all similarly designed & purposed vacuums out of the water. Just get it, trust me. I'm returning mine for the bigger one !

As a first-time Dyson vacuum user I love its HEPA filtration, informative LCD screen, and the Fluffy Optic cleaner. Dyson Gen5 Detect Cordless Vacuum offers a holistic and satisfying cleaning experience that sets it apart in the world of vacuum cleaners. It's certainly a worthy addition to my household.

This is my first time owning and using a dyson. Over all I have really enjoyed it. After vacuuming my carpets they literally felt new again and so plush. Its also very satisfying so see how much its sucking up each pass. The thing I am a bit disappointed on is the battery life on it, especially when using it on boost. It will usually last approximately 15 minutes (when used on my hardwood floors). That’s been the thing ive disliked the most. I feel that at this price point it should at least come with a second battery. I tried buying a second battery but of course that was sold out. If you have a larger home i dont think this is the one for you. Haven’t fully decided if its worth keeping for that reason.
