I bought this vacuum a month ago and I’m very happy with it. I love light that highlights the dirt. The head of the vacuum is very flexible and accommodates very nicely. It really does the job!
I've had my Dyson for two weeks and can I say , I just love it. Not the soul mate type of love but more of I can't believe I've gone this long without you type of love. I mean when I look forward to vacuuming because I want to see how much my Dyson can pick up, I know I made the right choice. Yes, Dyson V 15 I picked you!!! And now you can pick up all my mess:) I would have given it 5 stars but it is a bit heavy and the gold color just reminds me of a tacky guy with too much jewelry. Less bling and maybe just focus on doing your cleaning thing.. But your extra weight just means I am going to get a good arm workout so that's a bonus..
Very happy with the vacuum and attachments with the exception of the charging holder. It is not of the quality of other Dyson parts. The hinged holder opens when removing the unit from the base and the screws provided were not adequate. Suction is excellent. Easy to maneuver on wood floors and carpet.
It just feels so cheaply built. Yes it vacuums well but for the price I paid I just felt I’d be holding something that feels worth that price point. Plus, it came with scuffs out of the box, and some fingerprints. Pretty sure I got a refurbished model or one that was returned.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Have owned Dysons for many years. Their after-sale support is very strong (Batteries failing), sending replacement parts at no cost, etc.
This is an excellent product, BUT the rug attachment fails completely. The rear rubber gasket forms too tight of a seal so it starves the rotor: Doesn't turn; sucks up the rug (even heavy ones.)
Seems to be a complete design failure, and is noted on many of the chat forums.
I recently bought the Dyson V15 stick vac to replace the DC59 that I bought i 2014 when it was first available in 2014.
I recently purchased the Dyson V15 stick vac to replace the DC59 vac that I had purchased in 2014 when it was first made available. I am a true fan of the Dyson product but was skeptical about the larger and heavier new V15. I thought it would be less convenient and comfortable to operate but once I discovered the changes and improvements made to the vacuum, I was delighted with it. The first thing I noticed is that the V15 is less noisy which I consider to be a major improvement. The motor is larger and does a noticeably better job of cleaning, and the hepa filter is larger and easy to wash. Though the wand must be removed from the bin for emptying the dust and debris, the plunger completely pushes the material out of the bin. In the old unit, dust and lint got stuck inside the canister and I had to devise a slim tool to pull the material out.
Though the carpet attachment may also be used for tile and wood floors, the special lighted "fluffy" brush attachment for hard surfaces is amazing. Particles and debris are lit and visible for complete clean-up and the fluffy brush removes even fine dust. This attachment will be especially helpful in the kitchen should one need to vacuum up small bits of broken glass or crockery.
The V15 has a longer running time and the indicator for battery usage is helpful. Even the docking station for the vacuum is better designed and easier to use. In all, I am very pleased to have upgraded to the Dyson V15. It's a superior vacuum.
