    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.

    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

    Great vacuum! I still think it is overpriced and I don't understand why the Gen5 does not incorporate the mop system (marketing), but we love the features it does have.

    I loved the look and features of the design but not so much the cheap parts. I have owned 3 dysons before this one and i understand they want to make it light weight but the wheels and ball in the middle are so thin. I tried to roll it on my carpet and while it did pick alot up it was heavy and hard to push around. I had a hard time pulling the trash bin out with the button pushed it took lots of strength to pull it apart too. The battery did not last an hour for me. I liked the green laser light for hardfloors. I feel it wasnt worth the price as i felt it was going to fall apart.

    The Dyson Gen5detect is a powerhouse cordless stick vacuum, often cited as having the most powerful suction of any Dyson cordless model to date, thanks to its Hyperdymium motor. It does have powerful suction, and I am always shocked with the amount of dirt it picks up

    The Dyson Gen 5 vacuum is impressively powerful—noticeably stronger than the smaller Dyson models. It deep cleans carpets and hard floors with ease, picking up debris the others miss.

    One of the best vacuums I’ve purchased. I have cats and dogs and it picks up hair and cat litter better than any of my many cleaning tools. I love the auto on button rather than holding a trigger constantly. It is a bit heavy in the handle due to the batter pack, but it’s performance outweighs this small inconvenience.

    My best vacuum yet. This is a powerful vacuum that I can use despite my bad back. It's lightweight, easy to handle, and has great suction. You might think you've cleaned all the pet hair and dust—until you try this vacuum with the best feature of all, the laser light for floors attachment. I truly love this feature.

    Impressive Cleaning Power, Minor Design Quirks

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The cleaning power is truly impressive, effortlessly tackling various surfaces from hardwood floors to carpets. The "Detect" technology is a game-changer, automatically adjusting suction based on the surface type. The cordless design is incredibly convenient, allowing me to move around freely without the hassle of cords. The battery life is decent, providing ample time for a thorough cleaning session. The dustbin is easy to empty, and the filters are washable, which is a nice touch for long-term use. However, there are a couple of design quirks that prevent me from giving it a full five stars. The dustbin could be slightly larger, as I find myself emptying it more frequently than I'd like, especially during extensive cleaning sessions. Additionally, the maneuverability is good, but the vacuum can feel a bit heavy after prolonged use.
