The V15 Detect Absolute has three power levels, which can be selected using the button on top of the vacuum cleaner; and like other Dyson cordless vacuums, you can convert the V15 Detect Absolute into a handheld cleaner by removing the main wand and attaching any of the eight tools it comes with directly to the dust canister. We cleaned twice on hard floors, as Dyson UK has supplied the Torque-Drive standard floor nozzle and the Slim Laser Fluffy attachment for this. The V15 weighs 3.1 kg, so it doesn’t stand out from the competition. The weight is one of the few categories in which the V15 is quite average. The Laser Slim Fluffy attachment or soft roller only comes with the Absolute version. The roller was specially developed for cleaning hard floors.

It works like this: Simply clip it onto the suction tube and attach two attachments of your choice to the holder. It’s super versatile as a handheld vacuum cleaner and ideal for vacuuming furniture or other objects. Dyson V15 as a Car Vacuum The V15 is a real expert on high carpets. No one can hold a candle to it. Other cordless vacuum cleaners often fail here because their suction isn’t powerful enough to get the fine dirt out from the long hairs. The versatility of Dyson cordless technology makes cleaning your home easier. Powerful cleaning of floors, hard-to-reach places and mattresses.

There’s not a single floor type that poses a threat to the Dyson V15 Detect. The Torque-Drive Floor Nozzle

The runtime of one charge is essential for a cordless vacuum cleaner. It should last long enough to vacuum your home thoroughly at least once in one go. The anti-tangle hair screw tool, also new to this generation, is another standout attachment. It features a cone-shaped brush bar that "spirals hair off and into the bin." Dyson says it tested the tool to ensure it prevents both human and pet hair from becoming wrapped around the brush bar. Combined with the V15 Detect's strong suction power, this attachment easily lifted dog fur from couch cushions and pillows, far surpassing the performance of my older V8. All of that fur was successfully transferred to the bin, with not a single piece left behind on the brush bar.As the name gives away, this also the first cleaner head from Dyson to have anti-tangle tech, which means that hair (human or pet) doesn’t get caught around the roller. The same tech is on the mini brush, which is great for stairs, sofas and pet beds. Finally, we have a Dyson cleaner that doesn’t require hair to be cut away from the roller. You have to pull the trigger on the handle like a pistol to activate the vacuum cleaner. The device starts immediately.

Although the most powerful vacuum cleaner in Dyson’s range, the V15 Detect is also quite light at 3.08 kg. That’s light enough to easily move around and light enough that cleaning up high isn’t a struggle; it helps that the vacuum is so well balanced. We assess the cleaning performance of each vacuum cleaner, compare it to the competition, and then rate it. You find out more about the best car vacuums with battery here.

The Anti-Hair Function (Anti-Tangle): On the surface the Dyson V15 Detect Absolute looks very similar to the V11 range, comprising the motor, 1-inch / 2.6cm color LCD display, the motor, which creates the suction, the cyclones that generate centrifugal force to ensure dust and dirt stay in the canister, and the 0.2-gallon / 0.75-liter dust bin at the top.
