Dyson’s new flagship scores with two innovations. A laser measures particle density and the rotary brushes are built to finally stop winding hair. This is brilliant – but as always in the house Dyson not cheap.
Dyson vacuum cleaners can claim to be the benchmark in cordless vacuum cleaners. Thus, the relatively salted prices also justify themselves. In the past, most battery suckers only kindled a mild breeze, of which anyone can sing a song who five or seven years ago tried to get the dust out of the car velor with such a device. In the case of pure suction, most devices have significantly improved today. For the top dog Dyson a signal to further improve its devices.
Dyson believes that customers who spend a lot of money on a sucker also expect the device to clean particularly well. And so that you also know how clean it gets, was in the V10 Detect a dust detection system installed. In the stream of air sucked in, a laser measures the amount and size of the particles. The small LCD display on the vacuum gun shows the respective quantity of four size classes. Is this just a gimmick? No, it calms the mind of the housework man when he sees what he is getting away with with his Dyson. Apart from the psychomassage during housework, these values also control the automatic mode of the device. Depending on the degree of contamination, the engine then starts up. The automatic is definitely recommended, it gives suction power when you need it and protects the battery whenever possible. Anyone who works only in boost mode, sucks not only the floor, but above all the power storage quickly empty.

In car mode, the battery lasts for more than half an hour – longer on smooth floors. The Dyson is only released on power-sapping, shaggy carpets less. This does not sound so long at first – but is sufficient for several rooms. Only those who want to vacuum a house from the basement to the attic in one fell swoop get into trouble. And should switch to the edition “Complete Extra” with two batteries.
Two practical innovations
Dirt detection definitely makes sense. Almost even better are the new rotary brushes with “anti-hair tangling technology”. What does that mean? In order to be able to absorb dust properly, battery vacuum cleaners and robot vacuum cleaners all work with a brush in the floor suction head, which is set in rotation by a motor. So the dust is brushed up, whirled up and then sucked off. The problem: longer fibers – usually hair-wrap around the brush core. The longer the hair is in the apartment, the more they settle in the brush. Because it always rotates, the hair is tightened more and more tightly and join together to form regular threads.
The result: The whole brush always looks unkempt-that beats meticulous minds on the mood. To do this, the hair must be removed regularly. Usually you have to cut them down from the plastic core with small scissors or a carpet knife and then pluck them off. For this purpose, further fibers like to collect in the brushes, which have to be plucked off elaborately. This is always a dusty and somewhat disgusting affair.
In the test household, it has no shortage of long human and dog hair, so the problem is known. In fact, the new dyson technique works perfectly. Both the smaller, conical and the large rotary brush. Instead of whole bundles, only sporadic hairs are found. That’s a big improvement. No one likes the manual plucking of the hair, for asthmatics and people with dust allergies it should be a pure ordeal.
Dyson is the pioneer in bagless vacuuming and has experience emptying the dust bin. You just have to hold the device over the garbage can, a pull on the flip switch and already the house dust disappears – the contact is minimal. Like the previous devices, the V10 Detect a fivefold filtering, so that the dust that has been sucked in remains in the sucker.
The look of the Dyson vacuum cups with their colorful decorative elements is a matter of taste. There is nothing to complain about the suction power, if necessary, the sucker drives up to 240 watts. Except for special applications such as a workshop vacuum cleaner, the V15 certainly sucks no worse than a good cable device. Or significantly better than many cable devices. The Dyson can be used as a floor vacuum cleaner with a long style. If the pipe is removed, the device is much more handy and can also be used in cabinets or in the car. When working freehand, however, the weight is noticeable, with a long style, the device is supported on the floor.
How many accessories do you use?
Depending on the version, the V10 Detect with lots of accessories. The parts are all practical and well thought out. Here you have to know what type of user you are. If you only use the floor brush and a small upholstery nozzle, this is a bit much accessory. If you attach importance to using the right attachment for each task, you will also have a lot of fun with a lot of accessories. Accessories, plastics and switches are valuable and have a long-lasting effect – a clearly noticeable difference from cheaper vacuum cleaners.
Judgment
The Dyson V10 Detect comes very close to the ideal of a battery sucker. In combination with a vacuum robot, you definitely do not need a cable device in the household. Remains the price. The Dyson V15 Detect Absolute costs 699 euros – for this there are two floor nozzles, seven accessories and a battery. With the “Complete Extra” there are two batteries and eleven accessories – but then the package also costs 829 euros. For private use in the household you do not necessarily need the second battery. But it brings more convenience: then you can always switch to a fully charged battery.
The price is justified if you can afford it. The difference from a cheap device is noticeable at any level. If the money is tight, you can of course do without such a high-end vacuum cleaner, because there are vacuum cleaners also significantly cheaper. In the test, the Eufy S11 Go also did quite well. It costs only about 200 euros – but neither in terms of haptics nor in terms of suction power does it come close to the Dyson V15 Detect.
