Verdict

The Dyson V12 Detect Slim is a more advanced stick with laser dust illumination, smart auto-suction, an LCD readout, and an easy-swap battery that together deliver clearly better performance than the V8. It is the winner of this comparison for shoppers who can afford its higher price and want top-tier cordless features and power, though value-focused buyers may still be happier with the cheaper V8.
