Product testers praised the Dyson V15 Detect, recommending it for high-pile carpets, bare floors, and pets. They praised its 2.20 kPa suction power, washable HEPA filter, and selection of attachments.

Additionally, like the eufy HomeVac H11, the Dyson V15 Detect has a portable design. However, they were displeased by its poor maneuverability on deep carpets.

Consensus

our Verdict

Top experts were pleased with the Dyson V15 Detect, recommending it for bare floors and high-pile carpets. Professional reviewers hailed its washable HEPA filter, approving it for pets and people with allergies.

Consider the Dyson V11 Animal review for an even better pet hair pickup. Researchers loved the laser vacuum head, which enhanced visibility during testing, and lauded its 75-minute battery life.

Reviewers at Consumer Reports hailed its 2.2 kPA suction power, which removed a whopping 72% of large debris particles from deep carpets during testing.

It cleared up an outstanding 100% of large debris particles on bare floors, ranking among the best cordless models. Consider the Dyson Omni-Glide Review if you prefer a corded model.

Analysts at PC Mag found its 71 dBA noise rating to be good for home use. Weighing just 6.46 lbs, this device proved portable, although it has a small 0.45L dustbin. Check out the Dyson Outsize Absolute+ review for a larger dust cup.

The Dyson V15 Detect has a slightly longer 75-minute runtime than the 60-minute runtime of the Samsung Jet 90. The Samsung vacuum has a 0.8L dust cup, which is larger than the 0.45L cup of the Dyson V15 Detect.
