V15 Detect
The Dyson V15 is the most powerful cordless vacuum on the market, utilizing a piezo sensor to quantify dust intake and a laser to reveal microscopic particles on hard floors. It is the only cordless model that truly rivals the suction power of corded uprights in short bursts.
Quality & Materials
High-RPM digital motor and polycarbonate bin. The HEPA filter is washable, but the battery is a wear-item that typically requires replacement every 3-5 years.
Evidence & Testing
Third-party suction tests (AW) show it leads the cordless category. The laser illumination is a patented feature that significantly improves cleaning thoroughness on hard floors.
Brand Transparency
Dyson provides clear performance data but is less transparent about long-term repairability and parts availability compared to German brands.
Value Assessment
Premium pricing for a product with a shorter lifespan than a corded vacuum, but the convenience and performance make it a top choice for daily maintenance.
Why Not Alternatives?
While Shark and Tineco offer similar features, Dyson's motor technology and cyclonic separation are superior, resulting in less filter clogging over time. However, it loses to Miele/SEBO on longevity due to its non-serviceable battery-dependent design.
