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.

    So far so good. It's really filling the purpose of being light and versatile for difficult to reach places with a larger vacuum and still have the suction to be functional. Stairs, furniture, corners, cobwebs are examples of places where it's handy. Reasonably easy to assemble and charge speed decent. Even our 17-year-old started using it.

    Perfect suctionon tile, vinyl and low carpet. 2 differents easy to change. Attachment secure on wand. Laser light to see everything on floor including dust is a real plus. Canister is small but enough for me to do all tile floors and one room of rug. Light, easy to manuver. Love, Love Love it.

    Great vacuum! It is powerful and light just what you would expect from a Dyson. It has all the adapters that you could want for getting into hard to reach spots to cleaning floors. I wish it had a larger dust collection bin however it doesn't fill up as fast as I thought it would. The screen is nice but I dont really know what to make of the particle size readout. Charges fast and you get a lot of cleaning out of it!

    Love this lightweight vacuum and the colored light that show where the dirt is. There are several different adaptors. I use the velvet one on my hardwood floors and it does an amazing job. The vacuum is small and light enough to use in my car and the powerful suction picks up my puppy’s hair easily. I strongly recommend this vacuum to everyone

    I love this vacuum! The light illuminates dirt/dust so you can see what really needs to be cleaned. It’s makes vacuuming fun so I end up vacuuming the whole house more often. The kids even love to vacuum. It’s super light, quiet and being cordless is a time saver not having to plug it in and roll up a long cord. Very happy with my purchase

    Works as described, so much better than our old vacuum. It's light, easy to maneuver and oh so powerful. Canister is on the smaller side so you may have to empty in the middle of cleaning. But works great for our 2BR apartment with rugs and bare floors. Highly recommended!

    Very happy with this purchase. The laser is an awesome feature I appreciate much more than I thought I would. Might not be the best choice if you have really thick rugs but this thing is awesome on hardwood. Super easy to get under furniture. Probably should come with 2 batteries for the price, but it last long enough for me.

    I love dyson products and this cordless vacuum is the bomb! The special roller that lets you see dust is beyond awesome! I have a golden retriever and I can see all the hair he leaves behind because of this feature. It's powerful and cleans so well !! Great value and worth the cost!

    ADORE this vacuum. I thought the laser might be a gimmick but it's amazing and totally worth the money. You SEE all the dirt on bare floors (different attachment for the carpet). Charge lasts long enough to get through our medium size house (3 BR). Weight good. I also love that it has an actual on/off switch and not a trigger to have to hold in for the vacuum to run.

    Don’t typically write reviews, but had to let anyone that is thinking about getting the Dyson V12 to not think anymore. This vacuum is amazing for its size and more than enough suction and I hear the V15 has 30% more. Great battery life and the laser I thought was going to be stupid, actually works very well letting you know where the dust and dirt is at.

    I continue to love my Dyson vacuums. The ease with which everything’s snaps apart and together, makes switching attachments and jobs so fluid. This model is very light because it does not have a large capacity. I have a dog & a cat and the receptive is full after I vacuum my floor rug. So if you have bigger jobs, upgrade to the bigger capacity model.

    First Dyson Vacuum but will not be our last. Compact, light, and powerful. Household of 5 and everyone will grab to do a quick clean. Wish I could find an additional battery. Only gripe is the price but you actually do get what you pay for.

    I vacuum just about everyday bc it’s powerful, light and easy to store. Took me a little bit to get used to a stick vacuum since it’s not heavy towards the bottom so you’re constantly holding up the unit.

    Pricey but got it on sale and definitely worth it. This is lightweight and powerful. It has replaced our full size Dyson. Great selection of vacuum heads. Much more easier to use than full size. Canister size is good and quick and easy to empty and move in the next room or job.

    I bought this as an alternative to my larger upright because it's cordless and compact. I quickly have gronm to love it! The laser light shows just how much dust is on my floors and how nicely the vacuum cleans up what my regular vacuum leaves behind.

    V12 Review

    Replaced a V8 and couldn't believe the power/upgrade. Would probably recommend the larger size because the canister fills up very quickly. Selected this version because it weighed less, but I would rather have double the canister size for an extra pound of weight. The laser is also incredible for seeing what you miss without one. Would definitely recommend, but get the larger size.
