Detect light and maneuverability are great, but battery life is unimpressive, the small back wheels on the detect head jam with pet hair too easily and it's difficult to remove, the anti-tangle comb head regularly bogs down because it can't get enough power/torque, and the debris disposal mechanism works poorly -- I have to open/close it repeatedly to try to clear it and I usually need to pull out hair/debris with my hands or even use another vacuum to fully remove the hair/debris.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I had a lot of frustration, trying to figure out how to put the long wand onto the machine. The assembly instructions are very incomplete. After many tears and a lot of frustration I looked online to find out that one of the accessory parts was to be used between the wand and the machine very unusual.
I bought this a couple of months ago and my golden doodle was leaving hair everywhere. This vacuum got every hair! The light will make you question your cleaning abilities but it will definitely reassure you that you made the right purchase!!
Overall score is a 3. The attachments are less than desirable. The fluffy optic does detect the dirt but I don’t find it does a good job actually getting the dirt picked up off my hard floors . The hair screw is a very weird angle. It’s what I was most excited about and I’ll probably never use it. It’s not great. The regular multi surface vacuum head is quite good! It does a good job on my carpet,area rug, smaller mats and hard floors. I wish this machine had a crevice tool to get around the baseboards. Just taking the attachment off doesn’t seem to have enough suction or a good angle to get in there. The overall suction is more than great with the multi floor attachment. I have old 80’s super high pile plush carpet and it is doing so so SO good. I didn’t know my carpets were still capable of being this soft and fluffy. I was going to rip out the carpet but I think I’ll wait. The vacuum pulled all the dirt and dog hair that’s been accumulating for the last 4 years I’ve lived here… and probably longer than that too. The bin is hard to empty, I have to use my hand to scoop out the dirt and dog hair which isn’t the most ideal. The battery is decent as well. I can get 2 thorough vacuums of my entire upper floor (3 bedroom and 2 bathroom house) or 4-5 quicker vacuums on one battery charge. The vacuum is much quieter than my old vacuum, I don’t know what to compare it to but I am happy with the noise. I’m not sure I would vacuum while my baby is sleeping, but maybe I’ll try. Overall I am happy with my purchase just for the multi floor attachment and the way it’s given my carpet new life. If I could return the useless attachments and get part of my money back then I would up this to 5 stars. Giving a 3 star for value for money spent and the attachments.

I upgraded from a V8 to the V15 Detect Absolute and it was such a well worth investment! I am a severe allergy sufferer and owner of shedding pets and the HEPA filter and laser light were game changers. I love that it comes with so many different attachments for your best cleaning.

J bought a Dyson thinking it would have the crazy suck power. It does not. It won’t even suck up a spider.
