Pros
Sort
-
Routine maintenance is unusually approachable: the head opens easily, filters wash cleanly, and the anti-wrap rollers reduce cutting chores. Dust still accumulates inside the cones and center channel.
-
Dust illumination is a standout feature, exposing fine debris on hard floors and making missed spots obvious during cleaning.
-
The bright green headlight is genuinely useful, revealing dust that ordinary room lighting misses and helping users make more complete passes.
-
The vacuum is simple to assemble, steer, empty, and maintain, with one-button operation and easy-access components.
-
Hair-wrap resistance is one of the vacuum's biggest strengths. Long household hair is guided off the rollers instead of winding tightly around them.
-
The mini motorized tool is highly effective on couches, car interiors, and other above-floor surfaces, grabbing hair and debris quickly.
-
Suction is a clear strength. Testers found medium power sufficient for most cleaning, while max mode delivered a substantial jump over the V8.
-
Carpet hair pickup is excellent, including long strands and embedded pet hair, with only isolated strands left near the motor guard.
-
The removable, swappable battery and automatic charging dock are widely praised. A four-hour charge and short high-power runtime are the main limitations.
-
The top power button and three clearly differentiated modes are easier to live with than Dyson's old trigger design, especially for users with hand discomfort. The lack of an information screen is a notable downgrade.
-
Assembly is quick and intuitive, with the wand, floorhead, and handheld components clipping together in a few simple steps.
-
The familiar Dyson handheld architecture feels proven and well sorted, and one owner was extremely pleased with the overall quality.
-
The cyclones separate and compress debris effectively, helping the filters stay cleaner and preserving strong airflow with relatively little upkeep.
-
Hands-on reviewers were strongly positive about cleaning power, hair handling, and usability, but the loud floorhead, dock delays, and value comparisons keep it from feeling flawless.
-
Value depends heavily on pricing. Several testers thought it was excellent in the midrange, while others preferred the cheaper V8 or a discounted V15 with more features.
-
The included tools cover stairs, upholstery, crevices, and car cleaning well, but some packages omit a basic combination dusting tool and the extension hose feels awkward.
-
The mini motorized tool works very well on stairs, but one tester found the full wand-and-tool setup draggy enough to require two hands.
-
The complete vacuum feels light and maneuverable, although the hand weight remains noticeable because most of the mass sits near the grip.
-
The bin looks compact, but it compresses debris effectively and is easy to remove and clean. Emptying mechanics are simple, though fine dust can remain around the cyclone.
-
Fine dust pickup on hard floors is strong in normal or medium mode, and the green light makes remaining particles easy to spot.
-
The wall dock keeps the vacuum upright, charges it automatically, and provides convenient storage for a couple of tools.
-
Its combination of floorhead, handheld mode, wand reach, and small motorized tools makes it useful across floors, furniture, stairs, and cars.
-
Low-pile carpet pickup is strong, with normal or medium power handling most debris and max mode cleaning up more deeply embedded material.
-
The vacuum converts easily between stick and handheld use, and reviewers liked the familiar, proven handheld layout for cars, stairs, and above-floor cleaning.
-
The sealed HEPA-style filtration performs very well and stays clean for long periods, with washable filters that are straightforward to maintain.
-
The vacuum is light and easy to steer one-handed during normal floor cleaning, although the stair setup can create extra friction.
-
Packaging feels appropriately premium for the price, with the main components presented and protected to match Dyson's upscale positioning.
-
The main head and mini motorized tool handled embedded pet hair very well, making the package a strong fit for homes with shedding animals.
-
Attachments swap quickly, and the smaller tools can be fitted directly to the handheld unit or wand with minimal effort.
-
The backward-compatible auto-empty concept is genuinely unusual for a cordless vacuum, but the dock's delayed availability and separate purchase blunt the innovation.
-
Medium-pile carpet performance is excellent, with strong grooming and clean carpet lines without needing floorhead adjustments.
-
Washable filters and efficient cyclones keep routine ownership demands low, with filters needing attention only occasionally.
-
Everyday crumbs and mixed debris are collected very well, but oversized hard objects can jam or rattle inside the conical head.
-
The conical head reduces hair wrap and handles mixed floors well, but its center section, pointed front, noise, and dust-catching cavities create real tradeoffs.
-
Long hair on hard floors is usually removed cleanly, though an occasional strand may need a stronger setting.
Cons
Sort
-
The motor itself is controlled, but the conical floorhead becomes excessively loud on hard floors because of its internal combs and small wheels.
-
Availability is a major drawback: the vacuum and its separate Auto-empty Dok have rolled out unevenly, with some regions still waiting for either component.
-
The rollers resist wrapping, but hair and dust can still collect around the central split and motor guard, creating a small cleanup point.
-
Very large debris can lodge at the front of the conical head and rattle against the casing, so bulky objects are better picked up by hand.
-
The optional extension hose adds reach, but it is short, stiff, and less manageable than a generic replacement.
-
The cleaner head can scuff and scratch quickly during normal use, even though some surface marks can be removed with rubbing alcohol.
-
Side-edge pickup is better than expected, but the pointed front shape needs extra angling and repeated passes to collect debris directly ahead of the head.
-
The planned Auto-empty Dok is highly appealing, but it remains a separate, inconsistently available purchase. Manual emptying can also leave fine dust around the cyclone.
-
Runtime is acceptable in medium and eco modes but falls well short of the headline figure with the powered head attached. Max mode lasts only a few minutes.
-
Loose or bumpy rugs can reduce floorhead contact, so pickup may require extra passes or a higher power mode.
-
The bright, glossy finish looks premium at first, but fingerprints, dust buildup, and visible scuffs can quickly make the head look untidy.
-
Performance lands well above the V8 in raw power and approaches the V15 class, yet the cheaper V8 remains compelling and a sale-priced V15 can still be the smarter buy.
