Dyson - V15s Detect Submarine

We have a V15 and so far it’s been faultless, if you keep the filters clean and close the shutter on the cleaner head (some of them have a + - slider on it, slide it to ensure the shutter is closed when on carpet for maximum suction. I clean the filter once a month and it sucks hard enough that my partner struggles to push it along the floor.

My husband ordered and exchanged it. I dont recall it being a pain in the ass. There seems to be 2 screws.

We have: Roomba - Used 2/3 times a week between cleaner being here. Only does downstairs. Had this for many years, would definitely replace it when it breaks, maybe with one that mops and empties itself. Dyson V15 cordless - wall mounted for easy jobs and quick zip around. It has the green laser so it makes it easy to see where to clean. It's really good, buttttt....It doesn't last super long though, and I'm not impressed by the battery. Used by us and our cleaner. If it broke I would probably buy a replacement. Dyson Animal corded - Super powerful, but a bit cumbersome. Mostly used by our cleaner. Has this for nearly a decade I think. Very good investment. If it broke I might not replace and leverage the other two.

When our battery started to go I had no idea it could be replaced. Needless to say I was very excited, lol

The v15 (and more previous gens) has a big flaw in the v wheels in its motorized brush. Breaking it takes almost zero effort but replacing it is a freaking pain

Yep. I hated my cordless Dyson. I couldn’t even get through the living room because I have cats and used the deep clean setting and went slow to get all the hair. It would die after 15 minutes. I bought a corded Shark Rocket and love it as much as one can love a vacuum. The cord is super long so it’s not an unplug/plug situation.

Unpopular opinion on here...but I think it will give some perspective to your question specifically. Been a lurker looking for a new vacuum, and researching around here drove to me to just...buy another Dyson. The Dyson is just fine, dare i say even great. This sub is a CLASSIC case of over-Redditing and contrarianism. The Dyson is awesome. My last one lasted like 7 years, all I had to do was replace the battery a couple of times, which are like $45 on Amazon. The build quality is just fine. The suction has literally never been a problem at all. We have 2 long hair cats..it's never clogged on their mountains of hair. The battery life is fine. When it gets low...it takes all of 20 seconds to replace the battery. The charging is fast. The attachments and break down into smaller portable vacs is so amazing. Here's my kicker of a comparison (again, just personal opinion): I've been living out of state at a friends house for work for a few months. He has a Miele canister vacuum (that he undoubtedly got from browsing this sub). This thing is such a fucking pain in the ass to use. It doesn't fit into corners very well. Plugging it in and re-plugging it to move to vacuum another part of the house...pain in the ass. Got a small kitchen mess to clean up? Woah there, here comes this FUCKING MASSIVE CORDED VACUUM, so convenient and easy. Got some dust in a corner you want to take care of quickly? yea fuck the cordless dyson with 5 different sized attachments that make it versatile, that I can also grab off the wall hanger in a split second, let me go get this 30 pound mega brick, find the closest outlet, and hope it fits in this tight corner space. Unless you are sucking up the hair of a small herd of dogs that also happen to be living in a completely open space with a convenient wall socket all around, that also has black dust constantly raining down on it, get the fuckin Dyson and enjoy life.

Spend a little more and get the shark upright with powered/motorized lift away head that can reach under things with power. Much better than the cheaper version. I’ve purchased three of these vacuums for myself and my two daughters. #Model: AZ3002 $279. Or the newer version with extra attachments Model: LA492 $349. The first one is good and probably only difference is attachments and other features that don’t really make a difference. I wouldn’t get cheaper than the $279. One bc of the powered head that fully detaches with powered head/beater brush that cleans much better then the wind powered other models & they don’t really distinguish the powered head difference in the models……hope that makes sense. I also have the Dyson v15 stick vacuum and to be honest the shark does a better job but the cord and not as cool …….

V8 had a crap battery and wasn’t powerful. Like half as powerful as the V15 if that. I have the V15, best purchase.

Dyson!! It sucks, which is a good thing for a vacuum.

I have one of the cordless animal dysons… it fills up insanely fast and I have to empty countless times when I vacuum, but I keep up with cleaning all parts and pieces and haven’t had any issues!

I love my cordless Dyson cyclonic. I bought it from Dyson directly, refurbished for about $250 with taxes. It works better than the brand new one of the same model my mom bought from Costco for double the price. It works as a handheld and a full vacuum. The suction is incredible. Minimal parts to clean and the parts you do need to clean only require water and a toothbrush for a few hard to reach areas. I can remove all of my dog’s hair from the couch within seconds. I would absolutely buy it again.

The Dyson sticks are highly overrated. To obtain adequate suction power, you need to use the high setting but your battery will only run for 10 minutes tops.

The Dyson cleans the entire home just fine, i've never had an issue with it, and my partner is a OCD level clean freak (yes, this is just anecdotal I know). With that being said, my house is mostly wood floor, with rugs in the obvious places. If you live in a fully carpeted house...sure I would see your point a bit more. But The idea that the suction of a stick isn't sufficient for all but the dirtiest of situations is equally false in the opposite direction of Dyson marketing.

3 times I had one die just after that warranty expired sadly

Lots of people will shit on Dyson but honestly their stick vacs are great, relatively durable, very convenient and with easily replaceable parts. Very few vacuum cleaners are genuinely BIFL. Avoid Miele like the plague.

Dyson stick vacuums are definitely powerful enough. Bagless and lightweight, too. Though you would need multiple batteries. A backpack vacuum would make you look like a Ghostbuster. That would be priceless.

Until it dies again because Dyson hasn’t fixed the issue. That’s why we gave up and went back to a V8

I LOVE my cordless Dyson. It felt like a splurge when I got it but it truly makes vacuuming easier around my house. When it dies, I will definitely be replacing with an updated unit or maybe similar style/cheaper brand. But the cordless is also a game changer for me.

> Dyson make the best cordless vacuums. Good one! As a Dyson owner I wish I'd got a Shark or Miele. Dysons are average at best. 

Depends on the situation as well. When I lived in a condo with hard floors the Dyson was great. Now that we live in a bigger house with a lot of carpet, wed have to charge it twice just to do the basement decently. Also had to warranty/purchase knockoff parts 5 items in the 6 years we've had it. Still great for small areas though

Nekunk dyson v15 van nagyon meg vagyunk elegedve vele. Eloszor en is pislogtam amikor az asszony mondta hogy ilyet vegyunk de nem bántam meg. 1x elromlott egybol csereltek kaptunk egy ujabb modelt a gari ujra indult

We had a V15 that we had to replace twice due to power failures. Apparently a lot of the new versions have a board with capacitor issues that cause it to overload and fail after regular use. We just went to a V8 because of having to replace multiple machines because of this. The V8 uses an older board and so I am hoping it doesn’t have this issue

The dyson v15 swivel head is remarkable. The best I’ve ever experienced on any vacuum.

Have an older upright Dyson bag less vacuum, over 15 years old and it’s good. Bought a stick vacuum a couple of years ago for quick cleaning like after kids have demolished snacks, for the car etc and it’s been awful. Barely has any power compared to the proper vacuum, charge doesn’t last long, battery died last year and I had to go in to a store to get it replaced (at charge) then got home and after one use it stopped again. Turns out it was the power adapter/cord that was stuffed, and the back and forth to get them to just post me a new cord was stupid.

I’ve got the 15 with the laser, and agree it’s really there for convenience I can quickly grab it whilst I’m waiting for the coffee machine to heat up or the kettle to boil and give the living room / lounge a quick once over, etc It takes a bit of maintaining, so I’ve got a couple of filters so I can swap out when one needs washing, and you’ve gotta take it “apart” occasionally and clean out the canister and vents inside with a brush, but it works and has enough suction to do a decent job. I’ve got a good old Henry for the deep cleans, has way more suction but is much more heavy to carry around and means pulling out the cable and plugging it in

With the dyson stick cordless, the battery can be replaced. We did so on ours after 8ish years and it is like new.

This is so true and I wish I would have known this before I bought my SEBO K3. I love my cute little pink canister, but in my 700sqft apartment it’s really a pain to drag around. I got a refurbished Dyson V15 on Black Friday and it’s SO much more convenient. I feel obsessed with vacuuming now lol. I’ll always have my SEBO and it definitely is more powerful, but I’m not sure it’s worth it for a small space with hardwood floors.

Har en dyson (den som var best i test i fjor eller noe). Til å ta opp løst støv og rusk fra gulvet så er den omtrent like god. Til å suge opp støv fra sprekker i møbler, stoff (tepper eller filten i f.eks bil), så er den ikke i nærheten av f.eks sentralstøvsugeren på 2500W. Dysonen er vel på noen hundre W.

The only correct answer. Millions sold and with very little advertising which is a testament to the brand. Been going for years without needlessly changing the design so you aren’t stuck with obsolete parts. Easily serviceable with inexpensive spare parts, all of which are readily available directly from Numatic and a decent range of attachments available too. Bought a Dyson cordless when I first moved in but it just felt a bit work shy and complained a lot. Replaced with a Henry and it’s a trooper. Does everything well with no fuss. I’ve used it in the garage. I’ve attached it to the mitre saw. It’ll ingest sawdust and nails like it’s nothing. Got one at the shop too, I’m sure it’s been there for at least 15 years and it’s used at least three times a week. Hasn’t seen a bag in years. What a fucking *brilliant* machine.

We use our cordless vacuum just for the hardwood floors and tiles. We used a bagged, corded vacuum to clean area rugs. If I run the Dyson stick over the rugs, I can run the 12 amp Hoover after and still suck up a bunch of dog fur the Dyson missed.

We've a Henry pet that does wonders for pet hair on the carpet areas and would definitely get another but the thing just goes and as others have said they hold up to abuse from kids aswell We got a 2nd hand Dyson cordless on cheap a few yrs back - it's grand for a daily clean up on wooden floors - I wouldn't recommend one though if u have pets as it barely does anything on the carpets and I wouldn't go near them at the prices in the shops though.

Dyson V 15 and Sebo owner with two super hairy shorthairs living in a cement floored warehouse with lots of Turkish area rugs. Not sure what your obviously perfect feline does but life with my kitties has its challenges. They are dirt attractants to say nothing of the charms of litter in bare fee. Couldn’t live without the instant availability of a cordless and the 15 is a solid performer in all areas. My rugs do look cleaner after a full Sebo experience but I’m lazy and place is big. I have come to realize you need more than one vacuum, unless you have only one flooring type , don’t have to carry up stairs or navigate a labyrinth of hallways and live in under 1000sq ft.

I bought a V15 last year and thought it was quite powerful. But the power head broke within 2 weeks and replacements were out of stock. So I returned it and got a Samsung Bespoke Jet. The Samsung is strong enough on the min setting to do a quick touch up of the house (mainly pet hair pick up), which results in a long run time of about an hour. The combo head does not need to be switched when moving from hard floor to area rugs/carpets. The charging stand that comes with the unit will also empty the dust bin. For me, my reason for getting a cordless vacuum was for the convenience to do quick touch ups without dragging out the canister vacuum, and the Samsung fulfills that better than the Dyson.

Almost 3 years ago I changed my cleaning routine and started vacuuming (almost) daily. I bought the cordless Dysonv15 whatever that plugs in to charge but can run without a cord. And let me tell you it is a total GameChanger! It doesn’t make vacuuming fun per se - but it sure makes it a heck of a lot easier not having to plug and unplug the cord every 20-30feet. I can also get the whole house done in 15-20 minutes (2700sfish). And my OCD self loves not seeing hair on the floor. For Mothers Day this year, my sis and I went in on one for my mom. Not the same model but still a cordless one and my mom says the same thing now. That she loves the vacuum! If your budget allows, I highly recommend a cordless vacuum. It may just be a tiny piece that really improves your quality of life!

Ryobi’s parent company also owns Hoover. I think the future of cordless vacuums is going to look a lot more like the power tool model. One battery platform, many tools. The Dyson model of one battery (which may or may not be in stock on our website), one vacuum is obsolete.

Reiterating what some have said…Dyson. Our house is full of hair with three large dogs including a St. Bernard…wish I had gotten it sooner. We bought ours on eBay as certified refurbished and it came with an Allstate warranty that we have used and was pretty simply. I believe we bought it close to Black Friday a few years back so I’d start looking.
