New dysons are awful. Would rather get a quality vacuum for just above that price like a Sebo or Miele. Dyson customer service is awful and vacuum won’t stand strong for more than a year. Super disappointed in my 3 year old $400 Dyson that I work hard to actually maintain but it craps out

Comments going back and forth when the real win here is COSTCO.

majority of the negative Dyson comments are on longevity. Me personally my two Dysons are rock solid.

However, Costco’s lifetime return nullify that risk, just keep the box/receipt and you should be good to go.

I swear to go I wouldn’t buy a Dyson product ever again even if they were $100. God forbid your vacuum goes bad and you need their help. They are an overall terrible terrible company. They are focusing on making their products cheaper and more expensive. Maybe with Costco you can just return this piece of shit 8 months later to Costco but dealing with Dyson directly is a nightmare I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy.

I love mine. If I breaks I will either return to Costco or buy another one from Costco.

Worth it

The Dyson V15 is totally worth it because it's like having a super-powered vacuum cleaner. It uses lasers to find hidden dirt, has a cool screen to show you what's going on, and it's really strong, so it can clean up big messes easily. Plus, it lasts a long time on one charge, so you can clean more without stopping. It's a bit pricey, but if you want the best, the V15 is definitely worth the money.

I just bought the v10 absolute for $400 on Dyson.com. Best vacuum I’ve ever used

Love mine but I need two batteries to do the full house. Fully carpeted basement and one rug in the living room upstairs. The canister is not large so it is empties twice per vacuuming if I do the whole house in one shot. What I prefer to do is vacuum in two sessions (since it’s so much more convenient to take out) so the main floor on my lunch break (WFH). Let the kids vacuum their bedrooms on Saturday morning chores (they like using it) and then vacuum the basement when they’re done. Plus I have it around for spot cleaning here and there. The benefit is how convenient it is, is still powerful. The drawback is that it has small canister and you need two batteries to do anything over the size of a two bedroom appt.

It does suck. Like a vacuum should.

Check out the VacuumWars review of the V15.

It’s my first Dyson so I don’t have much to compare it to. All I know is the laser head makes vacuuming fun and I love the amount of dust the motorhead pulls from carpets.

Got one as a house warming gift for myself and out of the box QC issues, the dust counter and auto features didn't work, the machine was asking to be washed all the time despite the filter being brand new. Luckily had warranty and was able to get a replacement. Avoid buying used or sketchy 3rd party for high tech vacuum.

Mine sucks. As in, got it 4 days ago and it still doesn’t work properly. Customer service told me to drive myself 50 miles to one of their service centers to get it looked at, when it’s pretty clear to me that it’s a battery problem. 🤨🧐🤪

We bought the v15 as our first Dyson and I’m in love with the brand now. It’s an amazing vacuum and I tell who ever will listen it’s the best appliance I’ve bought. The battery life is great on hard floors but seems limited if you have multiple rooms of carpet. Maybe my carpets are just dirty and it’s constantly in high mode though. It does an amazing job picking stuff up, is surprisingly quiet, and the laser really is useful for finding debris. I was initially disappointed in all the plastic that I thought made it feel a little cheap and the charging dock creaks when you put the vacuum in it but they seem like they last a long time based off what people say and after the v15 I bought a couple old v6’s with similar plastic construction and they are still in great condition. I find my arm getting a little tired near the end of my vacuum run because of its weight though so if that’s a worry for you the v12 may be better but the tiny bin size is a limiting factor. I bought mine at a great price off eBay, brand new but with a damaged box. Warranty was included too and registered fine. I would definitely recommend the v15 if you can splurge on it

I have the V15 absolute. Can't recommend it enough. I wish all attachments came with the laser 😃 Manoeuvrability is great. Suction is ample. Display shows some fancy stuff and easy to configure.

I have the standing dock as well. Haven't decided on avwall to mount so I like hanging it whenever..

I've a cat. Tangle free attachments are tangle free indeed. No issues. Easy to clean, take apart..

If you don't need the large capacity and extra power for carpet cleaning you can save with V12.

V15 is not the lightest but certainly not the heaviest.

Go for it.

I wish Dyson would come up with wet products as well. I got dry/wet Bissell. Returning it because it's bulky and doesn't maneuver easily...

No regrets with my V15. Works great every single time. It’s $100 off right now on Best Buy

If you have hard floors, the green laser on the v15 is game changing.

It looks like it’s also $100 off at Dyson. I have a code, consider it your engagement present. :) I’m new to Reddit - can you dm me so I can give you the code?

Just picked up the v15 from the Dyson site. This will replace my wyze cordless. Going to be night and day.

What kind of flooring and vacuums needs do you have? If you just have hard floors you can get canister vacuums that avoid hair wrap.

I have a v15, hair to my hips, and Great Pyrenees. It amazes me that my hair doesn’t get wrapped around the brush. I’m like, HOW?

IMO Dyson vacuums are not well made and do a poor job of cleaning.

Get a Sebo. Roller is removable for cleaning. Sebo D4 Demonstration

My partner has very long hair. We now have a V15 after having a Miele HX1. We vacuum several times a week and I’m yet to have to detangle any of the brushes. With the HX1, it was required after every use.

not an expert at all, but i went from a v6 to a $99 standard vacuum back to a v11. i love my dyson, but i love it for what it is. extremely light weight, the improved canister design to collect and dispose the trash is a major plus from the v6, i live in a small apartment, although with two cats. it's half wood, half carpet (with stairs). it works for me. it's easy to clean, easy to maneuver, and i like that i can store the attachments on the unit itself and it's still lightweight. i love that it's cordless. the v11 tells you what charge the battery has and has three modes that eat the battery at different levels. the regular mode lasts me awhile, the eco mode even more. the more powerful mode will def eat at it way faster, but i think it charges back up quick enough for me. looks like the v15 has a removable battery that clicks out, so if you're used to your dyson, absolutely love it, but want that extra battery life, sounds like you can buy a second battery and then you'd be good.

To address the misinformation posted in the previous comment, there is no evidence that has been provided to demonstrate that cordless vacuum cleaners are only for "quick pickups" and nothing else. Such a bold claim should be backed with some form of evidence, especially since the actual airflow and suction numbers do not demonstrate a lack of power when it comes to modern cordless models. The only "evidence" I have seen provided has been leaky suction gauge tests and "working vacuum" measurements, which are inconclusive due to how much the testing rig in question leaks and skews the two aforementioned metrics and the fact that working vacuum numbers have been demonstrated to not have a direct correlation to cleaning performance. Definitely take such claims with a grain of salt.

The V15 and V11 are quite different units, with the V15 having a dirt sensor that measures particle sizes and having updated cleaner heads including the hard floor roller with the laser; and the run times of the V15 seem to be slightly better on turbo mode, as well as the V15 being a significantly more powerful vacuum cleaner.

The V8 is not "widely considered" to be better than the V11 or V15 by any means. There is a reason that the V8 is the budget option and has been replaced numerous times. It is not an awful unit, but it has less run time, longer charging times, significantly less suction and airflow, a much smaller bin, no screen or dirt sensor, and so forth. One can prefer the V8, but it is not objectively a better vacuum cleaner.

I get having opinions, but if one needs to stretch the truth to such an extent to validate their opinions, maybe they should rethink their opinions. To clarify, I am most certainly not talking about the OP.

I'll let more experienced vacuum techs give a full run down, but reconsider Dyson.

Personally if I was over there I would grab a Henry cordless while you can or wait for the new Henry cordless stick vacuum.

Cordless stick vacuums are great for quick pickups but nothing more the v15 is nothing more than the v11 with a light. The V8 is widely considered better than both of those in terms of handling with about the same capability.

So I have a v15 since it first came out and yeah it’s alright but it just isn’t worth the money. The fluffy head is nice but you can buy that separate. You only get good cleaning power on max which is like 12/13 min. The changeable battery is a plus but I noticed that carpet/rugs just seem to be so dirty still after cleaning. Overall it’s alright but I would not spend the money again very overpriced. Good for a quick clean but not for 700.

A bagged vacuum will provide the best dust filtration. personally I would stay away from Dyson.

What do you have for a Miele? I assume it’s a C1 since you describe the cord being very short. I would suggest you upgrade to a C3 which has a much larger cleaning range or get a Henry HVR200. If you still want a cordless I would stay away from Dyson since the V15 isn’t worth it if you have all hard floors. It is really meant for somebody who has it as their only vacuum. Something like the Henry Cordless would work well. Although to get more than 60 Minutes of vacuuming you will need to buy another battery (this goes for all the cordless machines I mention). The LG A9 or the Samsung Jet90 would be some good options but as mentioned before you will need to buy another battery to get above 60 minutes of run time. Truthfully if you need more than 60 minutes of run time a cordless machine probably isn’t for you. Hope this helps narrow you it down.

What you are asking for seems to go against practical sense when it comes to vacuums: to use a vacuum that is more dirty, has poor ergonomics, smaller floorhead, small bin capacity and limited run time and suction to clean your entire fairly large house as you say when you already have a capable machine that is superior in every way to the performance of Dyson.

What I think you want is cordless convenience and that's understandable. Cordless vacuums are much better for quick pick ups and regular upkeep of small spaces rather than as an only vac for a large home.

I think that if allergen reduction is important, you should not retire your Miele, but instead dedicate weekly time to clean whole house with a bagged canister as part of a allergy mitigating ritual (and yes, it's a bit more cumbersome to pull out and switch plugs, but it will get you a thorough cleaning and trap allergens) and also get a cordless vac for daily use as needed.

If you have the option for LG zero, it comes with a stand and two batteries and alternate floor head versions.

If you have the money it’s the best stick vacuum

There are definitely some interesting answers on here. If you like the features of the V15 package in question and you have the budget for it, then go for it. They work quite well especially for being cordless machines and they are a lot of fun. The run time is excellent for what it is, even out of eco mode. Sadly, I do not currently own one, but I have handled them and looked at them and it is something that I could imagine myself picking up and liking to use more than something bigger and bagged, despite those machines perhaps having advantages.

If you do not need the fancy package, then you can certainly get away with getting a previous model like the V11, V10, or even the V8. Just make sure that you get a package with the hard floor roller that you want. Each one has slight improvements, but the V8 is a solid cleaner.

Certainly avoid the Shark models.

my Dyson broke within 1 year and Dyson service was not able to repair it. Their products doesn't seem very well built for the price. I would never ever buy a Dyson product again. User support was also not the best so far.

we dig ours. beware of the thin, angled "wheels" that support the wide floor sweeper. it's a common issue reported here. too much pressure will break the "axle" and pop the wheel off permanently. it happened to me, otherwise i recommend it- and buying an additional HEPA filter is a good idea.

Just upgraded it after using v6 for nearly 10 years. Love it.

Love mine.

It's convenient to use, but that's it

I owned Dyson vacuums for 20 years (since the rollerball back in 2005) and they have generally been excellent. My last two havent lasted nearly as long though; and were prone to getting clogged very easily and were difficult to maintain.

I decided to get a Shark last time out - and tbh....it just, works. Its cheaper, easier to empty, doesnt have as many small parts, doesnt get clogged easily; and when it does, its easy to sort out. The suction is better.

Despite being a Dyson fanboy for 2 decades, I have reached the stage where I think they've fallen behind.

£170 new (down from £300). This is much better than any recent Dyson imo.

My v8 is now 6 years old. Used a few times a day and still perfect .

Had a v8 for 5 years. Excellent machine. Don’t like the models after the v8 all too big and cumbersome.

Absolutely!
