Battery runtime / Charging time it lasted more than 3 minutes longer than the Gen5 Detect in the lowest setting using the slim roller nozzle, and 80 minutes is more than enough even inside a large home
Cleaning performance on carpet cleaning performance was slightly better
Dust-bin sealing (to prevent dust escape) has a fully sealed dustbin that didn’t leak during the fog test
Laser dust illumination upgraded laser slim roller with the twice-as-bright green laser
Maneuverability & swivel steering best balance of run time, steering
Overall durability/longevity If you want to keep these vacuums long-term, I suggest factoring in parts availability, especially parts like the filter and battery, since these are the most likely components you’ll replace.
Price given the price difference, it offers better value
Attachment variety & compatibility The V15 Detect Above Floor Tools...have the most
Battery runtime / Charging time Dyson has been accurate with its claimed figures, and with the newer models, these numbers have been underrated as real-world tests exceed these claims
Brush hair tangle resistance The torque screw tool is the first one I’ve tested, where hair doesn’t wrap on the brush, which is an issue for a standard non-tapered mini-turbo brush. It’s the best I’ve tested at long hair strands on upholstery.
Carpet deep clean performance The best performing options are strictly those with high airflow and the latest brush roll design with the combs, and notches wrapping around the brush. Models that have these features include the V15 Detect
Cleaning performance on hard floors the newer models like the...V15 Detect...were among the best options on hard floors
Laser dust illumination the 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!
User interface/display clarity the readout on the LCD display, showing how much of each debris size it picks up
Value-for-money the best value options are the Dyson V15 and V12 Detect, given their current price
