What We Loved
- Accessories & ToolsThe latest full-sized Dyson cordless vacuums like the V15, Gen5, and V12 come with two nozzles a slim roller for cleaning hard floors and a standard brush roll for carpets
- Battery & ChargingAll of the latest full-size Dyson stick vacuums have detachable batteries
- Hard Floor — Fine Dust PickupBased on tests, the newer models like the V12 Detect, V15 Detect, Gen5 Detect, and Outsize were among the best options on hard floors
- Headlight & LED lightsThe laser slim roller has the green laser that accentuates dust particles better than any LED-equipped nozzle I’ve tested. Almost invisible dust particles pop when the green laser flashes, even surface imperfections
- VersatilityAs for above-floor tools, the V12 Detect Above Floor Tools and the V15 Detect have the most, at least from the sub-models I got
- WeightSurprisingly , at least for me, the V12 Detect is lighter than the V8 Absolute at 3 pounds and 4 ouncesOpt for the V12 if you want a lighter-weight vacuum
Just Okay
- Hair-removal channel issuesone issue plaguing these newer options is hair wrapping on the axles, since there is a gap on both sides. This isn’t an issue with the older fluffy attachment, but hair will still wrap on the roller
