Dyson V12 Detect Slim+ Cordless Vacuum Cleaner

Verdict

The Dyson V12 Detect Slim+ is the lighter, more compact alternative to the V15, offering strong suction, long runtime, and excellent handling in a very portable body. Its small dust bin and higher price versus value models like the Tineco A50S are trade-offs, but it will likely make buyers happiest if budget is less constrained.

Pros

  • Maneuverability & Handling 2 reviews 5.0
    Compact size and low weight make it extremely maneuverable, especially on stairs and in tight rooms, and some reviewers find it even easier to handle than the already light Digital Slim.
  • Weight 2 reviews 5.0
    Exceptionally light and easy to handle, making stair cleaning and daily use effortless.
  • Runtime (Measured, Default) 2 reviews 4.5
    Delivers about 60 minutes of real-world runtime in standard use.
  • Suction & Airflow 2 reviews 4.5
    The V12’s high speed motor delivers strong suction roughly on par with the V10 while trailing the full size V15, giving it excellent everyday pickup in a lighter, slimmer body.
  • Controls & UI 1 review 4.5
    A color LCD on the handle shows modes, estimated remaining runtime and particle counts, echoing the V15’s interface in a smaller frame and giving clear feedback without needing an app.
  • Overall opinion 1 review 4.5
    Often recommended for buyers who prioritize light weight, the V12 Detect Slim combines V10 level power, long battery life and a modern display in a very portable chassis that still feels like a true Dyson flagship.
  • AI, Smart & App / Automation 1 review 4.0
    An automatic suction mode that responds to dirt levels keeps cleaning mostly hands free, echoing the V15’s smart behavior in a smaller chassis.
  • Price & Value 1 review 3.5
    The V12 offers a premium, ultra-light experience that many buyers love, though its higher price means value shoppers may prefer cheaper but still capable rivals.

Cons

  • Bin & Bag 1 review 2.5
    A very small 0.3 L dust bin keeps the V12 compact but fills quickly, so it needs more frequent emptying than larger sticks.
