    I have been using this Vacuum for a bit and I really like it. It’s really nice that you don’t have to hold down a trigger to activate the vacuum and it has great suction. It’s also nice how you can detach the stick and it turns into a Dustbuster. It has been very convenient for cleaning my car and furniture. It’s a bit pricey but I think it’s worth it.

    I love it! The light on the floor tool makes it so satisfying to clean. I almost gave it a four because of the price, but because it is so satisfying, it makes cleaning less burdensome/chore-ish.

    The Perfect Dyson?

    This works as you would expect a Dyson to. It is powerful and has great battery life. A little heavier than earlier models but not enough to be a problem. Having a crevice attachment built right in is a huge win. I have had a Dyson since they came out and this is another clear reason why they are the best and setting the bar for other manufacturers.

    Great Buy for the price. This vacuum is so powerful, compared to the other vacuum I had. Love the fact that it can handle the small jobs just as good as the big jobs. Being that it is cordless is great, I can use it in my car or truck and in the house. Lightweight makes it so easy to use up and down the stiars. It stays charged for a good 60-90 minutes depending on the job size.

    It is the best vacuum i have used in my life. Not only are all the attachments useful but they excel at what they do. The green light floor vacuum attachemnt is astonishingly good at showing debri, it’s especially fun in the dark. The vacuum is incredibly powerful at cleaning carpets as it has powerful suction. Overall if taken care of this vacuum is worth the money and will serve you well.

    Dyson Gen5detect: The Tesla of Cordless Vacuums

    Alright, so here's the lowdown on the Dyson Gen5detect cordless vacuum, and it's got seven dope accessories to boot. This bad boy is like the Tesla of vacuums—sleek, powerful, and high-key futuristic. It's got this gnarly laser dust detection that legit shows you all the grime you didn't even know existed on your floors. And let's talk power—this thing sucks up dirt like it's nobody's business, but it's still super quiet, so you won't wake up the whole house during a late-night cleaning sesh. Battery life's lit, too—plenty of juice to cover a big space without bailing on you. And with those seven accessories, it's like the Swiss Army knife of cleaning. From carpets to cars, Dysons got you. #Adulting just got a whole lot easier, fam.

    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.

    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.

    This Vacuum is wonderful, no cord to drag around and the lite emitting bulb shows all the dirt and dust in front of you as you are Vacuuming, plus the strong powerful motor picks up all the dirt, dust, pollen and hairs, pet included.

    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.

    First Dyson Vacuum

    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!
