Customer Ratings & Reviews

OK…first things first. I have never owned a cordless vacuum other than the little hand-held units for cleaning up cereal that a toddler drops. I have used a couple of full-size cordless vacuums at other people’s houses and was never impressed. That said, knowing the Dyson reputation for quality vacuums, I wasn’t quite sure what to expect. I found it hard to believe that a cordless unit would have the power to truly clean anything other than superficial large particles. Boy was I wrong… This thing is impressive. There are pros and cons, but overall, I think it’s a fantastic unit. Plus, bonus points to Dyson for making it look like a super legit laser gun when you take all of the attachments off of it. My wife’s first comment was, “Well, if nothing else it will make a cool Halloween costume accessory”. Ya…it looks cool. OK…Let’s dive in. The packaging was extensive. Every part is well seated in its own protective layer of some type. They definitely spent some time in package engineering. That’s a good thing. It gives me confidence that the unit hasn’t been beaten up too badly by poor handling. Assembly is super simple. You just snap the attachments onto the main unit and you are good to go. They are really easy to connect and remove. Simply push the bright red button and they easily slide apart. Swapping out attachments is a breeze. It comes with 2 power heads, crevice tool, a cool conical shaped smaller power head for hair and tight spaces, and a couple of attachments with brushes on them. I can see myself using most of these attachments over time, so I’d say they got the right mix of function in that area. You can store 2 extra attachments on the long stick of the vacuum, and 2 more on the wall mounted charging station. I’m not quite sure where I’m going to keep the others…. Don’t forget to charge the until before you use it. It takes like 4.5 hours, so don’t plan on whipping that sucker out of the box and going to town on your floors. I know, I know…some of you will really struggle to not clean for 4.5 hours /eyeroll. Suction…. boy does this thing have suction. I mean, my 16-year-old just happened to be sitting on the couch the first time I ran this thing. They said “Geez Dad, it is lifting the carpet off the floor”. She wasn’t kidding. This thing will pull the spots off of a Dalmatian. It was really impressive. It’s just as powerful as my full sized upright…maybe more so. We vacuum regularly, but with 4 long haired people, a dog, and an evening popcorn habit that probably needs counseling, our carpet is never spotless. That said, I had just vacuumed the night before and everything looked pretty clean. I was surprised to find that the canister was full after just the living room! And not just with hair, but lots of very fine dust. I looked down at the vacuum and it said that it had picked up almost exclusively at the allergen level. Ya…that’s a cool feature. It keeps tabs on what it is sucking up and shows you a little graph on the display so you know large the particles are that it is sucking up. I had to dump the bin twice to do 3 rooms even when I thought the floors were pretty clean to begin with. Ewww… The bin is fairly small since they are trying to save weight and improve suction in a cordless unit, but still…I was impressed. After I had done the carpets, I switched to the hard floor cleaning head and tried it out on the hardwood floors in one of the bedrooms. This unit has a cool green laser that shines out in front of the vacuum. It illuminates all of the “stuff” on the floor. I was really surprised to see so much dust when the floors “looked” clean. After a run through a bedroom and the kitchen, I had a surprising amount of dust in the bin. It definitely cleans. And apparently, I suck as cleaning my floors…thanks for making me self-conscious Dyson… Finally, I decided to give the small conical hair head a try on the carpeted stairs up to the 2nd story. I hate cleaning stairs. I hate fighting large vacuums and cords on stairs. So, I don’t clean then as often as I do other flat surfaces. This thing is great! It was easy to handle and that little power head did a good job of getting up close to the baseboard and into the corners. It’s not perfect, I’ll still need to use the crevice tool once in a while, but it does a fine job. Oh…and my stairs were gross…I didn’t know it, but I had an entire bin of dust and dog hair on my stairs that I couldn’t even see. Oops… Dumping the bin is super simple. Just remove the attachments, put the main unit over the trash can, and push the red ejector button. The end flips open, the canister slides down (but not off) on a rail, and everything falls into the trash. Slide it back up and close the end cap. Done. The unit is surprisingly lightweight and quiet. I had no trouble managing it. It is a little different feel than I am used to. The brush heads are very lite. That mean all of the weight is in your hand. It’s well balanced, but it does mean that you need some forearm/grip strength to handle this unit. Nothing an average person would struggle with, but if you are severe arthritis or some other medical challenge, just know what you are getting. As I mentioned early on, it does come with a wall hanging unit so you can just drop it in the slot and it starts charging. I haven’t put that up yet. Not quite sure where I want a vacuum hanging. You don’t have to use it to charge the unit. You can just plug it directly into the charger without using the wall hanger. The battery life is great. You can get about an hour out of a full charge. It doesn’t lose suction as the batter drains. This is a learning machine, so it adjusts to what it is encountering on your floors. The thinker the surface and more debris it detects, the more power it sends through the unit. This is a fantastic innovation that really saves on batter life. You do have the option to manually switch it to low, auto or boost with the button on the main unit, but I find that running it in auto does the trick. I can hear up spin up and down and as I clean based on what the vacuum is encountering. Pretty cool trick if you ask me. So, what didn’t I like? It’s a tad short. I’m 5’11”, so just and average guy. I have to bend down just a bit to use this vacuum. It’s not a huge deal, but for someone with back trouble, or who it over 6’, it might not be the best choice. When you are taller, if you try to run it at a comfortable angle, your natural motion puts too much downward force on the power head and the brush stops spinning on thicker carpet. I have to bend slightly to change that angle so there is a little less pressure where it meets the floor. Next, the all-purpose power head doesn’t really have wheels, so it takes a little more elbow grease than I expected to push and pull the unit over the carpet. Between the lack of wheels and the super suction power, it really grips the carpet. I’m OK with that because I can see how much stuff it is picking up. Just know that it isn’t going to glide across your carpet light some angelic cleaning implement straight from beyond the pearly gates. It is lightweight, but it does start to feel heavy after several rooms. I believe it’s a function of having all of the weight in my hand rather than spread across the entire vacuum. This is by no means a deal breaker because I love the convenience of cordless power, but I will probably split up cleaning days so I don’t have to run it continuously for 45 minutes. Wait a minute...what am I saying…I have kids...I’ll just make them do the cleaning. I think that’s about it. I hope you’ve found this review helpful.

This vacuum works really great. The different suction settings are very helpful. Overall no one in my household has had any complaints about this vacuum.

This is a great vacuum cleaner,we love it,it cleans everything great

I have several Dyson vacuums and this is my favorite. I bought two of them one for upstairs one for downstairs. t's amazing what the laser beam can see.

I love it, it's my favorite vacuum. It's light weight and easy to maneuver. My kids like it too and are more willing to help clean.

This purchase did not disappoint. It’s exactly what we needed in regards to size and maneuverability..it works great and keeps its charge as we had hoped.

Replaced a Shark IQ Cordless that stopped working and this is a beast of a machine. Pricey but worth it to me. Picks up everything on the floor and rugs.

It is the best vaccum ever! Picked up har that my dyson ball vaccum didnt even get! Highly recommended especially if you havw animals!

Work great, always getting dirt and fine powder. I mean when i dump it, it like powder sugar coming out.

Great cordless dyson vacuum. Picks up so much stuff from the floors that our other vacuums never picked up. Definately recomend.

Great addition to the household! Plenty of power and the capacity to reach hard spots.

my first and not last dyson product. could not be happier with the performance. definitely recommend.

Love the Dyson V15. I upgraded from the V11 Torque Drive, which I used daily, to the V15 for two main reasons: 1- The suction power was increased from 185AW to 230AW. 2- The redesigned anti-tangle head for carpet. The laser flat surface head was just a bonus as far as I was concerned. Having had this a bit over a week now, here are my thoughts: -The anti-tangle head really does work and I no longer have as many hairs, etc tangled up in the vacuum. -The laser head works wonderfully on my dark oak hardwood floors and I can definitely see the normally invisible dust that I otherwise may have missed. On my light colored kitchen tile it does not work nearly as well. -The flat surface head (laser head) is a nice addition for the flat surfaces in general, even without the laser. It’s shorter than the carpet head and can fit under the edge of cabinets a bit better to get those pesky bits of dust that naturally gravitate towards the corners. -The counter within the vacuum that tells you how many particles the vacuum has, well, vacuumed up is a pretty cool feature for a tech nerd like me. The first time I vacuumed my kitchen, it picked up over 600 million particles—wow. Final thoughts: The price is very high ($700), but you do get what you pay for here. Highly recommend. We have young children in the home, so we use this vacuum several times a day and are extremely pleased with it.

Excellent vac that really sucks up dirt and pet hair. Replacing a 10 year old Animal Ball DC25 and supplanting a 2014 DC44 stick still going strong

Wow this vacuum picks up way more hidden dirt then our older Dyson .It has the green laser light that we thought it was just hype but no its not hype it really works it also tells you what dirt particles that its picking up and works great over hard floors and rugs .The only thing that could b refined would be the on and off switch we would like to see that if you wanted you could lock it to stay on . But we would highly recommend this vacuum to family and friends..

I have been using Dyson products for a while now. This new version of the cordless vacuum is really nice .The suction is way better compared to all other handhelds vacuums .This is my 3rd Dyson and cant be happier .They seem to be getting better. Only thing you have to watch is -keep this vacuum un clogged and dont drop it .Its such an ease to use. I have two dogs and its works like a charm.

Excellent vacuum! The laser to see the dust particles is a neat feature to have.

I really thought the laser was a marketing gimmick, but it honestly is incredible. Lights up all dust and makes you realize when you need to make an extra pass or two to get all the dust and pet hair, etc. The quality is excellent and suction/power is great. Always amazing to see the dust bin filled with what looked like a clean floor. Highly recommended!!

Great Suction! Hard to find a cordless Stick Vacuum that has the Suction of an Upright. This one is the closest that I’ve found.

This is great for my small studio cottage! It pulls hard on the carpeted area but nothing you can’t change the suction on.
