  • Filtration / Dust Containmentlike all other Dyson Corless Fog test vacuums the omig Glide passed our debris containment test it had no trouble properly sealing in the fog used for this test
  • Floorhead designa very unique cleaner head that's composed of two soft roller brush rolls that are optimized for hard floor cleaning
  • Hard Floor — Large Debris Intakethe omnid performed very well picking up surface level debris in our heart floor stress testthe omnigo pick up debris equally well pushed forward or pulled backward because of its dual roller design as is demonstrated here
  • Maneuverability & Handlingthis makes it very easy to handle and maneuver around Furnitureit can clean equally well being pushed forward and pulled backward
  • Runtime (Measured, Default)was tested to run for 24 1/2 Battery life minutes on standard power
  • Weightthe omn Glide is very light its main body is light and its cleaner head is light

Just Okay

Needs Improvement

  • Bin & Bagwe measured it to have a maximum capacity of only 100 ml
  • Clogging & debris preventionthe omlid Flour clog test was also the only Dyson to fail our flower clock testmuch of the flower it picks up deposits on its premotor filterthe omni's performance in this test indicates that its filter clogs up very easily with fine debris
  • Comparative performancethis is substantially less air flow and suction than that of any other Dyson Corless vacuum we've tested
  • Crevice / Groove Pickup (Hard Floors)this vacuum did not Crevice test perform well in our hard floor crevice test it couldn't pull most of the flower out of the crevice even after over 20 back and forth passes
  • Hair‑Wrap / Tangle Resistanceit tangled with 40 to 45 % of 8 in long hair and 70% of 14in long hairthe omn Glide definitely Tangles a lot more easily with long hair than other Dyson we've tested
  • Overall opinionthe omn General recommendations Glide is generally not recommended
  • Suction & AirflowAirflow omniglow was measured at 24 CFM its suction was measured at 67 in of water Suction lift this is substantially less air flow and suction than that of any other Dyson Corless vacuum we've tested

What We Loved

  • Floorhead designit uses two of dyson soft rollers which spin in opposite directions to pick up debris
  • Floorhead Seal on Hard Floorsmaintaining a good seal on floors
  • Hard Floor — Fine Dust Pickuppick up super fine debris basically dusting hard floorsit was nearly perfect with every type and size of debris we used everything from fine to extra large and even heavy debris
  • Hard Floor — Large Debris Intakepick up large debris while maintaining a good seal on floorsit was nearly perfect with every type and size of debris we used everything from fine to extra large and even heavy debris
  • Innovation compared to competitorsit's not a gimmick it's a genuinely good innovation that's well executed design wise
  • Maneuverability & Handlingthe articulating neck and 360 degree casters on the bottom make it incredibly maneuverable and able to do things and go places regular vacuums can'tit does all this with almost no resistance
  • Overall opinionbasically i think the dyson omni glide is a real game changer for hard floor vacuumingoverall i think it's a great value for the price
  • Price & Valueoverall i think it's a great value for the price
  • Weightit's the lightest cordless vacuum handle i've ever weighed for reference it's almost half the weight of the recent dyson v15

Just Okay

  • Battery & Chargingthere's a removable battery in the handlethe battery life wasn't great
  • Bin & Bagthere is a dust bin that functions much like the recent dyson cordless vacuums though it is quite a bit smaller than previous models
  • Controls & UIthe handle has two buttons an on off button and a max power button
  • Hair‑Wrap / Tangle Resistancehair didn't get caught in the roller per se it did get caught in the axles of the roller
  • Mopping performancehair didn't get caught in the roller per se it did get caught in the axles of the rollerregular maintenance in terms of brush cleaning is a must

Needs Improvement

  • Accessories & Toolsmine came with a combo dusting brush slash crevice tool and a wall mount i was kind of expecting the new led crevice toolit was just a little awkward to use for most dusting applications
  • Carpet — Medium-Pile Pickupi did try it on our medium carpet and it quickly stopped the brushes and was ineffective so it's just not to be used on carpets at all
  • Convertible handheld designi also wasn't a big fan of the included tools or the handheld vacuuming experience in general
  • Runtime (Measured, Boost/Turbo)about four minutes on max power
  • Runtime (Measured, Default)i would have liked to see a bit more than 20 minutes on standard power20 minutes on standard power is probably what you can actually expect in real world use
  • Suction & Airflowit was significantly below average in airflow and with the unsealed suction test and it was exactly average in the sealed suction test basically the raw power specs weren't anything special with the omniglide

What We Loved

  • Floorhead designThe Omni Glide nozzle is unique in that it has two rollers, which allow it to pick up debris in both directions
  • Maneuverability & Handlingwith its industry-first 360-degree steering
  • Overall opinionThe best lightweight option, at least for the cordless vacuums I’ve tested is the Best Lightweight Option Dyson Omni-Glide
  • Stair CleaningThis design helps it clean hard floor stairs better than the other cordless vacuums I’ve reviewed
  • Suitability for small spacesIts narrow cleaning head helps it fit in tight spaces, making it an excellent option for small homes
  • Under-Furniture PickupThe cylindrical body enables it to reach deep under furniture and is the best steering option in this area
  • Weightlightweight frame
