I used my tax return for this, and I am so glad I did. It is easy to maneuver. I cannot believe all the dirt in my carpet. It is also easy to dump in the garbage.
I bought the V15 detect like a month ago, my expectations were so high because Dyson is a very well known brand and I was reviewing different brands and models to see what was the best for me. My condo is hardwood floor, not very challenging from that point so I decided to go with Dyson. Unfortunately the battery is not the best AT ALL!!! 3 hours or so to fully charge and when in use it only last 40min….and maybe less. The other aspect was the suction power, I was expecting a powerful vacuum that when just 1 move you can pick all the dust, dirt and small things from the floor but it seems that you need to pass and pass and pass the vacuum several times to see the floor clean, small size debris on the floor are difficult to pick. So basically I’d say to anyone looking for a new device, think twice and maybe another brand would be better and cheaper.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

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.
