This is my second Dyson vacuum. This one is a bit more on the heavier side, but has more capacity and battery life. I’m not sure if the illumination to see the dirt is good or disturbing (hahaa), but it definitely works as intended. Overall a really excellent product.

I have had the Dyson V8 for almost 4 years.  I have not had any problems with it besides having to purchase a new motor head which took a while to receive.  I have almost a 3000 square-foot home all with hard tile floors.  We have five dogs as well. And five kids.  Having clean floors is a serious must for me!  I have to admit, I have a bit of a floor cleaning obsession!!  I have bought tons of vacuum cleaners.  I re-searched between the outsize and a V 11.  I really love this vacuum cleaner and feel the floors are much cleaner after using it.  It is very expensive and I won’t let my kids touch it.  The soft motor head with the laser. I have to make sure there’s nothing wet on the floors before I vacuum because I don’t want to ruin the soft roller.  It is really a trip to see how much dust and hairs on the floor with the laser.  It’s also interesting to see the number count once I’m done.  Hoping this one lasts a long time as it was quite the investment.  I also had purchased the Sebo cannister vaccum and  was really thinking that was going to do the trick for having a really good deep clean but I became quickly frustrated with having to have it plugged in!!  I didn’t really realize how much of a convenience it is to have a cordless vacuum cleaner.  One downside is the amount of time it takes to charge, but you can get a lot of work done with it on auto with it on boost it’s not much of a run time at all.

Continues to be the leader in suction power. This vacuum has two new features that I absolutely love. The first is the power button turns on the vacuum. There is not trigger so your fingers don't hurt. Second is the improved design of the shaft which is sturdier and doesn't flex so easily. Amazing! I love it.

I love this vacuum. The only reason i am giving it 4 stars is because it doesn’t lie flat so you can get under stuff. I’d the bottom rotated so you can turn the main canister sideways would be ideal. Also the attachments need a bar not as long as the one to vacuum but maybe 1/4 of the length so you can get those hard to reach places. Then it would be the perfect 5 star vacuum.

I LOVE this vacuum cleaner. I thought I would just use it on my hardwood floors, however it comes with a carpet attachment as well! I decided to do a test and used my corded Dyson thats close to 10 years old and my new cordless one!! To my amazement my cordless picked up ALL the dirt and my corded one picked up like half! This baby really cleans!!

For living in a small home, it gets dusty quick. This vacuum helps to see where the dust/dirt is which is helpful. Sometimes I feel that I go over the same spots because instead of suctioning it up fully, it’s being pushed to the sides (I think). The battery life on the lowest setting is good but I like to use my vacuum at the high suction setting and that only lasts me 15 minuets. Dissembling it to clean and get my long hair out is easy and that’s also a plus.

Love this vacuum after having gone through 4 in six years we’ve had it for about 2 years with no issues! Use it on our hard wood floors and carpet weekly with no issues. We love the green light to be able to see the little things left behind you wouldn’t typically be able to see.

Great vacuum. Pricey but functions very well. The green light definitely shows a lot that the naked eye can’t see. The rug attachment leaves my rugs fur free. I have 2 dogs and 4 cats and my house would be a mess if I didn’t have this vacuum. I have 4 other vacuums and none of them get the pet hairs like this one does.

I recently purchased this vacuum to replace my old Dyson, which was ten years old. So far, I've encountered no issues.
Noticeable improvement over my old is the suction power, vacuuming time and deferent mode withe better quality. Easy assembly setup.
I believe the price is fair considering its performance. I would definitely recommend it.

After doing much research (including all the Dyson vs. Shark talks) I decided to purchase the this vacuum, I've been genuinely impressed with its performance, I guess you can say I'm fully on the Dyson bandwagon for vacuums. The Fluffy Optic cleaner head with its laser is such a fantastic feature that I didn't think I'd need on hard floors, ensuring thorough cleaning. The Digital Motorbar does a much better job deep cleaning carpets than I thought it would. I'm really hoping Dyson makes a submarine attachment for even more uses. Overall, I'm very happy with my Dyson Gen5detect!

very powerful, very good battery system
This is about the 10th Dyson I have owned.....
so far so good on this new one.
Somewhat difficult to put it onto or take off the charger but it makes up for the weight in the performance and cleaning ability. I currently have 3 Dysons in my home.

Upgraded from a V11 and having hardwood floors with two shedding corgis, it’s a game changer for me. The laser brush head attachment helps see all the fur in areas I’ve missed. Used to use the boost mood on the v11 as well but no need with this generation. Auto does a great job on deciding what suction to use.
On carpets this thing is also an animal. Compared to my previous vacuum this one picks up so much dust. The suction pulls up a ton and the anti-hair tangling brush helps reduce having to clean hair wrapped around it.
Overall this is the Rolls Royce of stick vacuums. I would definitely say it’s worth the money and it’ll be lasting me a long time before I ever have to upgrade again. Don’t cheap out, you get what you pay for and this one checks all the marks for me.

This thing can get cat hairs out of surfaces I had thought were a lost cause—cushion dimples? No issue—felt seating that’s too delicate for pet hair takes? It’s got your back. When I first used it my girlfriend thought I was performing sorcery

Love the vacuum! Does better on carpet than hard wood, but better than other vacuums. A little on the heavy side for long use, which you’ll get with the longer battery time! Green light is amazing!

Works amazing. I can vacuum a 2000 sf house on one charge and it bucks up everything on the first try. It’s so easy to change out the attachments and to empty. Great product!

The best vacuum EVER. Yes, it's pricey, but it has a long warranty in case anything goes wrong in the first 2 years. I have owned 4-5 vacuums over 3 decades, and this one is the most practical, convenient and strongest. Always charged and ready to go for about an hour. Never once did I run out of juice.
