I love Dyson cordless vacuums. The V15 Detect is lightweight and performs the best! If there was a negative and only a slight negative it would be nice for older people to be able to have a push button turn off/turn on feature, for some older folks holding the turn on button can be hard on arthritic hands. All in all this is a great lightweight that cleans beyond expectations.
I love to use it. I HATE to empty it!! The hair gets stuck at the top. The canister is longer and slides down. This makes it extremely difficult to "reach" what is trapped at the top of the canister. To avoid using my fingers I had to dedicate and sacrifice a kitchen utensil to get the clumps. Disgusting! Didn't any of you clowns have dogs and rugs. I like the V8 much better.

I have had this vacuum for two weeks and I have to say it has far exceeded my expectation on what a hand held vacuum can clean. My old Dyson stick vacuum lasted 18 years so I understood you get what you pay for in a vacuum. The new vacuum is so much better than the one It replaced because it picks up so much more pet fur. One review I read said the lady replaced her large push around vacuum with the stick vacuum because the stick vacuum was all she now needed. I did not believe her but, I can now say she is 100% correct. The led light on the hard wood floor attachment is a great addition as you can see what needs to be vacuumed or if you miss a spot. If you are on the fence about buying this vacuum just do it, you will not regret it .
This vacuum is a dream on wood floors. I love that I can see all the dust and hair before it sucks it right up. But it is kinda of a pain on carpet. You will need some strength to push it forward.
Great suction power and long battery life. But kind of heavy and it is difficult to get the debris out of the canister. I have to use my hand, which is annoying.
This was a replacement for the V12. This model is larger then the V12. A lot heavier and awkward to use. I am not fond of the new power head. This has the larger rubber wrap on the back side. When operating, it will stop the rotary due to the amount of suction it creates. However, I do like the canister clean-out better.
It has very good suction however I hate that I have to push a button the whole time I am using it. It is also a little heavier than expected especially when using the small attachments.
