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.

    Havent open it but been reading a lot of review about it. Seems like a really cool vaccum to use. Always wanted to get one for some time and finally give in with the $150 discount and applying black friday gift cards on this purcahse. Looking forward tonopening it soon to use it.

    I never wanted one of these types of vacuums, this one feels very nice. The green laser detect light shows you junk on your floor like I've never seen. It should be on every vacuum out there. Also, one of the main reasons I got this one was that it has a button instead of a trigger.

    I upgraded to this afters years of use with the Dyson V8 model, which still works, the battery just isn't lasting as long. I had high hopes for this one considering its high price point. I love all the features it has, but after 1 year it started to have suction issues. I had to clean the unit thoroughly every month just about. Now coming up on 2 years, suction is even worse even on high speed. Sadly I didn't get the extended warranty, so it looks like this expensive unit is trash. I won't consider a dyson vacuum going forward.

    Dyson V12 vacuum is the best vacuum I have ever owned. The vacuum salesman Joe in the Clearwater Florida store was a professional about the Dyson products. He really knows everything about Dyson.. What a great salesman.....I really enjoy when I vacuum now.. It's makes vacuum cleaning fun.

    I have used this vacuum for over a year now and I would not recommend it to anyone. Hair and dirt gets stuck on the little wheels on the head of the vacuum that are impossible to clean. It seems like it somewhat lost a pit of suction power. I think for the money, you can get a much much better one.

    This picks up well but, you have to empty it numerous times because the container is just way too small. When you empty the container it is NOT SANITARY! The dust does get out in the air.

    Is it overkill? Maybe. Is it pricey? Definitely. Is it the coolest vacuum cleaner I've used so far? By far! The thing gives you a breakdown of what it's cleaned with micron values and everything. My only real complaint so far is the battery situation. For this price point I'd like to see 2 batteries in the box. Not like it has bad runtime, I'm just picky and would like the option to hot swap if needed.

    Super impressed with this powerful vacuum! Bought to reduce on the amount of allergens and to keep the home even cleaner than what I could with a standard, more traditional vacuum. Absolutely love it and would recommend to anyone!

    Hate it!!! I’ve had several Dyson vacuums & this is the worst. Used 5 times & is clogged…taken it apart & still not working. Capacity is super small & suction is not as good as my shark. Overall disappointed with my expensive vacuum that is currently not working! Ugh!!!

TOTAL waste of $600, don't buy it

      Hello Brian, this is Kelly with Dyson. We're disheartened to hear that you've found the V12 Detect Slim to be too small. This is a more compact model than our other full-size cord-free machines; the bin will be smaller and hold less debris that larger machines. It does sound like you might be experiencing a sensor issue which is why it's asking you to clean the filter. We would be happy to assist with this issue; please get in touch with us at askdysonUS@dyson.com for assistance.

      Best wishes,
      Kelly

    Bought this hoping it would be good but never realized how dirty my floors were until i used this for only a few minutes and already saw stuff in the chamber. Definitely would recommend this vaccum.

    Great Vacuum so far. The reason we got this was the ON/OFF button and not the "Trigger" that you had to keep pressed. Great for spot cleaning or a room or 2, when you just don't want to get the plug-in Dyson out.
