Customers are saying

Customers frequently mention the lightweight design, powerful suction, and ease of use as significant advantages of the V12 Detect Slim Cordless Vacuum. Many appreciate the long battery life and the laser feature, which helps to highlight dust and debris. However, some users point out that the dustbin is on the smaller side and that the price point may be a deterrent for some buyers. A few also noted concerns about filter maintenance.

    When purchasing any dyson product, i alway feel like overpaying. But after 2-3 months of good use, i just love it. it is very light and i like the new power button. Wish it came with the stand, though.

    The best vacuum that I ever had

    I bought this a couple time ago and now I have a concrete opinion: it’s the best vacuum that I ever had. Practical, the battery last longer enough to clean entire home, suction power is strong , easy to clean an store My wife convinced her mother to buy one v11 after our purchase, It's worth the whole investment

    Great suction. However, the wands are hard to pull apart after emptying the dust bin. No manual. Glad it doesn’t have the trigger.

    I absolutely love my Dyson V12 Detect. It's lightweight enough for me to vacuum my home without getting too tired. The best feature is the on/off button, instead of the usual trigger.

    Great first Dyson purchase! It is small (hence the name slim) but we are thrilled with its performance so far. We came from a Oreck vac that we purchased about 15 years ago and low the cordless operation.

    Not recomended

    The Dyson vacuum cleaner has its pros and cons. Undoubtedly, its cordless design makes cleaning easier, but one battery charge is often insufficient to complete all tasks, especially if you have a large area or many carpets. Its power may also leave something to be desired, particularly when vacuuming carpets where additional suction power is needed. Moreover, the price of the Dyson vacuum cleaner may seem high for the features it offers. Overall, if you need a convenient and stylish vacuum cleaner for light cleaning, it may suffice, but for more intensive use and carpet cleaning, other options may be worth considering.

    Vacuum works great and is an upgrade in terms of auction of older moldels. Bin is very small and fills quickly. If you have pets with longer hair it will wrap around the bin and not come out with out help when emptyjng.

    GOOD VACUME, I DID EXPECT MORE SUCTION BUT IT DOES THE JOB. WHEN NEEDED YOU CAN PUT IT INTO "TURBO MODE" GREAT SUCTION BUT IT DOES KILL THE BATTERY PRETTY QUICK. I HAVE 4 GERMAN SHEPARDS AND THEY ARE OUTSIDE MOST OF THE TIME, BUT WHEN THEY ARE INSIDE THEY TRACK DIRT AND HAIR EVERYWHERE.... THEN ITS DYSON TIME.
