Dyson V15s Detect Submarine Wet Dry Vacuum Yellow Nickel

This Dyson vacuum is very powerful and works amazingly well. It is lightweight, easy to use, and picks up dust and pet hair effortlessly. The battery lasts well and it is very convenient for daily cleaning. Excellent quality and totally worth the price. Highly recommended! Read more

Well, I honestly didn't think I'd be reviewing this any time soon or buying one considering the price, but then our stove caught our kitchen on fire along with my old beloved V10. Shoutout to my Dad's insurance for this V15. I'm what you would call a vacuum enthusiast, but my true love is with shop vacs. I make daily disasters in the shop. In the house on carpet and hard floor though, these cordless Dyson vacs (v10 or better) aren't a joke, they really work and they really replaced our old Dyson ball animal v2 completely. We have a 130lb infinite hair generator (yellow lab) and he generates as much hair as I do saw and metal dust. Not having to deal with a cord completely changed the way I vacuumed, from begrudgingly when my Dad told me to cause we're having company, to sort of enjoying it and doing it 4-5 times per week. I've shown the effectiveness of and actually sold 2 family members and 1 friend on cordless vacs. Unless you live in a small mansion with multiple pets I sincerely bet even an older or cheaper Dyson would suit your needs. Anyway how's the V15 compared to the V10? Yeah it's basically better in every way, unsurprisingly, but the surprise to me was the fact the green detect LED isn't some desperate gimmick, not entirely, it really shows just how clean (or not) your floors are. I'm not a clean freak, but the fluffy detect motorhead will reveal dirt dust and hair you didn't know was there. How much that actually matters is entirely dependent on your threshold for cleanliness but if nothing else it's a great visual reminder of what needs work and where you've been. The suction is fantastic and borderline ballistic on boost mode. I'm pretty confident I'll never encounter an actual need for boost mode but I'm so glad they added it. It doesn't feel any heavier than the v10 at the handle but it's been a minute since I've used the v10 as it got cooked. Battery life is impressive given the power. I could vacuum every single room of my dad's old 2700 sqft house with the v10 and an aftermarket 6.5ah battery in one charge. Given the higher suction and smaller 3.6ah battery of this v15 I hesitate to guess but I'd say it'd definitely be able to clean the vast majority's highest traffic/dirtiest areas on a charge for sure. The auto power adjustment was a little jarring at first and a feature I wasn't aware of, especially considering the 3 power settings you can still manually select, but it actually does it's thing and works great. I'm not sure if you can turn it off. The dust canister is easy and holds a similar if not larger amount of dust compared to the v10. The fluffy detect motorhead is actually eager to climb and hop some impressive elevation changes in your floor and floor dividers. On hard floors especially with the fluffy motorhead it's much more maneuverable and easier to push, but the carpet motorhead on carpet is definitely harder but not much more than the v10. It does a fantastic job on even medium to heavy pile carpet (Not those shag area rugs though) and makes lightning quick work of hard floors. For how much this costs you'd really hope it's good, and in my humble opinion it definitely is. Indoors this is the best vacuum I've ever used by 5 or 6 good country miles. Read more

This vacuum is absolutely incredible and definitely worth the price! It sucks up pet hair like nobodies business, never clogs, and never gets tangled. We have one of those pet hair rakes that pulls up pet hair than gets stamped into the carpet over time. I ran this vacuum over my living room rug, and then went over it with our pet hair rake, and zero hair came up. It seriously gets everything! It’s also very lightweight and easy to maneuver. It works great on low pile and high pile carpets and I love the green light attachment that shows me all the dirt and dust on my floor. It’s seriously the best vacuum I’ve ever owned! I highly recommend it! Read more

I'd like to share what I consider to be an extremely poor experience with Dyson. I purchased this vacuum from Amazon, received it on time, however upon receipt the battery refused to charge. I returned it to Amazon within the 30-day return window. It was promptly replaced, and the replacement worked fine. Thanks, Amazon! Fast forward about 6 months, and the battery once again would not charge. As it was now past the 30-day Amazon return window, I contacted Dyson warranty service directly as the vacuum should still be under the manufacturers warranty. The first issue with Dyson became immediately apparent - there is no way to contact and speak to anyone directly. Everything is done through an automated online system, and subsequent correspondence is via email from a generic email address from a random customer service representative. There is no phone number provided - all correspondence is via this email channel with no other contact information provided. The next, and worst part of this story - I went through their troubleshooting steps and it was determined I needed a new battery. This is after the first vacuum had a faulty battery upon delivery, and this new one has failed again less than 6 months later. This not what I expected from a $700 product that is supposed to be one of the best on the market. Well, that isn't all that happened.... After determining that I needed a new battery, they asked that I send my proof of purchase which I readily provided - my sales receipt from Amazon. This next part surprised, shocked, and infuriated me. They reviewed my sales receipt and replied back that my vacuum had been purchased from a non-authorized vendor, and I would be responsible for paying for a new battery out of pocket. How can this happen? I bought this from Amazon, right?! I argued back and forth, using only this email correspondence because there was no other way to contact them, and eventually just gave up. They would not stand behind their product because they claimed I purchased from an unauthorized seller!! I now have an worthless, unusable $700 vacuum decorating the back of my hall closet. I refuse to pay for another $75!! battery and find it absolutely absurd that Dyson would choose this approach for product support. Hopefully Amazon reads this review and fixes this issue for future buyers. I will never purchase another Dyson product - they have completely lost me as a customer. I hope this review helps someone make the right choice about which vacuum they choose. Read more
