This V15 replaced a 6 year old V11. It's OK, nothing special. But, the battery life is less then my V11 and the 'brush' head with it's laser shows just how much debris is not picked up or is thrown back out.
The brush head cannot be stripped down enough to get dog hair out of the ‘fixed’ side of the roller.
And like most Dyson’s they do a pretty good job of cleaning and a poor job of field stripping to use an air hose to blow out all the dirt, which has to be done with these.
My biggest complaint with any of the stick vacuums is that you need two hands to use an attachment with a hose. They need a trigger lock for those times you need use an attachment and hold onto to something like the brush-dusting attachment.
Fun tip. We use the Downy dryer beads to help keep any orders down. One or two dozen beads keeps a nice fragrance when vacuuming.

This (much needed) cordless vacuum is amazing. Easy to use, does a great job on our carpets and empties with ease. But the laser-guided hard floor attachment is amazing. It shows the dust and dirt that you normally can't see to clean. It does a wonderful job cleaning against floor molding and in corners. So glad we invested in it.
I have really enjoyed this vacuum cleaner! I love the ability to lay it flat on the floor so that the head can go all the way under tables and sofas. The only reason I gave it four stars instead of five is because there is no light! How hard is it to install a little light on a vacuum cleaner?
I'm a sprightly senior . Bought for cordless festure & light weight. LOVE IT SO FAR....still not quite a pro on emptying procedure This Dyson model had high ratings with Consumer Reports which also influenced choice.
