I plan on pulling the cord and getting my first Dyson vacuum this sale. I’ve narrowed it down to the v15 and v12 sold by Costco (so I have access to the flexible return policy if all goes awry), but the biggest factor holding me back from the v15 is the weight difference.

My understanding is v15 is more powerful, slightly better battery life and bin capacity, and comes with more attachments. However, v15 is around 15lbs and the v12 is around 5lbs.

In Canada, v15 is on sale for $780 and v12 for $675 so not a huge difference.

I live in a ranch-style house with a carpet upstairs, carpet stairs, and hard floors for the foyer and downstairs (with a rug here and there) so it’s pretty 50/50. I will also be using a central vacuum, and emptying the bin more isn’t a huge deal to me.

Which did you pick and why? Did the weight of the v15 keep you back? Is one more reliable than the other? Is it even worth going for the v15?

It states the $150 savings will end in October.

I was thinking of waiting till Black Friday to purchase but does anyone know if they could possibly drop the price further?! I’ve heard .99 means something for Costco?

Hi all!

I’ve been using a V7 trigger for I think at least a few years after it was gifted to me. It’s still going strong but I’m looking for a unit that I can use on my carpets at we’ll (managed to lose pretty much all the attachments over the years except two during multiple moves).

The V12 Detect Slim is on “sale” from Dyson for $399 and the V15 is at Costco for $499 today. Based ok reviews, I’m leaning towards the V12 since I only live in a 800 square foot apartment. However, from reading here it seems dealing with Dyson is a nightmare and I wonder if that itself is worth just shelling out for the V15.

Or, I can purchase the V12 using my Amex plat to get the extended warranty/return window (but still would have to deal with Dyson).

Both of these vacuums are on a discount at Costco. We have 4 cats but it is a big house. We have mostly carpet upstairs and hardwood and tile (with a couple area rugs) downstairs. The price is not important because I will be using a rebate cheque to buy it.

I am undecided but leaning tward the V12. I read that is has an on switch that does not need to be continuously pressed, but the collection bin the the V8 is bigger.

Does anyone have any recommendations or thoughts on these two vacuums?

Costco will have v11 at $500 later this month vs Dyson has v15 posted for $650.

I do want to buy the laser fluffy for the Dyson v11. So, after everything is done for both should cost the same more or less.

Costco has a phenomenal return policy kind of forever no question asked, vs I would get the latest gen from Dyson.

Which option would you recommend?
