Amazing vacuum, I have 3 large dogs that shed a TON and this picks up the hair and dirt great. I do have to empty the tank frequently but it’s super easy to use.

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.

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.

I boight this one as a replacement for my V15 which i loved. I was skeptical on tbe price increase for what looked like a small number of features but boy was I wrong. Laser head is bigger, suction is better (boost mode), filter is amazing, power button, and the display is the best part. Now i know when my carpet is actually clean. I could not get the dog smell out of my carpet with the V15. Why? Because i wasnt done! There were still particles that i needed to keep cleaning and the display helped me achieve that by pin pointing the dirty sports and telling me when its clean.

My girlfriend has an expensive Rainbow system and I was expecting to use this several days a week to keep things clean between Rainbow uses. This Dyson performs better than the Rainbow and is much simpler to use. Great vacuum. If you have a lot of carpet to cover you may need to get a second battery to get the job done uninterrupted.

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.

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.

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.

Replaced the V11 and ball 3. I like the toggle vs trigger. Only other vacuum I have now is a shopvac for heavy duty cleaning. It's excellent for homes, cars, and traveling. Wish there was a power lockout feature to avoid turning on accidentally when traveling.

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.

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.

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.

Impressive Cleaning Power, Minor Design Quirks

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.
