I have a V12 detect absolute but I did some research for you and basically for the V15 extra you get more attachments. The absolute and extra are the exact same device afaik. What you get is an additional detail cleaning kit (we got this too for free because of an offer on dysons website) and this is kinda useful but we barely use it. It's worth £75 separately (about $100), so if you can get it included, then it's a good deal :) Someone had the same question as you on the Dyson website so you can check this link for a better explanation Answer from Dry_Commission600 on reddit.com

r/dyson on Reddit: Dyson V15 Detect - Best Buy
November 3, 2023 -

Best Buy has the Dyson V15 Detect Extra priced at $549 if you are a Total Member. I have seen that Costco will have the V15 less than this on Black Friday, but I do not have a Costco within 100 miles of me, so I’m not a Costco member.

Two questions:

  1. Is $549 ok for the V15? I do not need the vacuum right now, so I could wait until Black Friday or Cyber Monday for deals.

  2. Is the V15 ok for 2000sq ft home with at least 75% hard surfaces? It would not be my only vacuum, but definitely the nicest one I would own. I think the Gen 5 may be more useful, but I do not think I could justify the price difference.

Thanks.

r/dyson on Reddit: Best Buy vs Costco V15
May 30, 2024 -

I got the V15 Best Buy yesterday for $499 (now it’s $549). Costco has it today for $499. Which one is a better deal? Are they the same vacuum with slightly different attachments?

If they are the same exact vacuum, I’m inclined to return to Best Buy and buy from Costco for the customer service alone.

r/dyson on Reddit: I missed Best Buy's sale on the V15 Detect Extra cordless vacuum
November 19, 2024 -

I'm so mad at myself! Last night, I was in Best Buy and I saw the V15 Detect Extra on sale and thought the price seemed really good. $500. But then I pulled out my phone and searched for more info on the V15 Detect vs. the other Dyson models, discovered that there were a ton of different versions of it and that I needed to do more research, took a pic of the sales sign, and left. Where did the research lead me? To the decision that it was in fact a good deal and that I should go back and buy it. So I went back and it's a hundred dollars more expensive today because the sale ended. The sign I took a pic of last night even said that the sale would end on 12/20. I just didn't notice because it was in smaller print.

Just wanted to vent my frustration. Hope the sale comes back again soon.

r/dyson on Reddit: V15 differences: Costco, BestBuy, Dyson site?
August 3, 2024 -

Was hoping someone could help me in figuring out if there's any differences between the vacuums in the post title?

I can't seem to find a model number for the Dyson website model of the V15 it just says "Detect Absolute" and it's $599, the BestBuy is Detect Extra 448709-01 ($630) and Costco 448182-01 is $559.

If they're essentially the same thing, I'd just pick the Costco one, but if there's any "major" difference that would be good to know as well.

Mostly wood looking vinyl flooring and a couple carpets. Handling mostly dog hair pickup, not being used for deep cleaning, but to keep the house tidy before the sunday deep vacuuming.

Right now there's several deals going on for the V15.

Dyson has the V15 Detect Absolute for $599. https://www.dyson.com/vacuum-cleaners/cordless/v15/detect-absolute-hepa-gold

Costco has the V15 Detect Total for $560. https://www.costco.com/dyson-v15-detect-total-clean-extra-cordless-stick-vacuum.product.4000177472.html

And lastly Amazon has V15 Detect Complete for $619.99 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0CDN7F736/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&th=1

I've read that the Amazon deal has an older head. But what about the Costco deal vs buying directly from Dyson?

I am about to get this product, but the listing on the official Canadian website says:

"Only at Dyson: HEPA filtration, built-in dusting and crevice tool, and exclusive gold colourway"

The one on BestBuy Canada doesn't have similar feature. I was wondering if these two products are basically the same or the one on official website has better filter?

The on on on BestBuy is 50 dollars cheaper. I don't know which one to get!

r/dyson on Reddit: Does anyone else not like the V15?
June 19, 2023 -

So this past weekend I decided to take the hit and buy the Dyson V15 extra from Best Buy after my V11 animal died on me a few months ago. I also have the V8 which still works for me and is an absolute workhorse but it’s simply not enough for my 3 story house so I decided to purchase the V15 detect extra.

First off, I love the laser fluffy head that it comes with which enables me to clean spots I normally miss and I believe the Motörhead it comes with does a better job on low pile carpets and rugs than the V11 torque head did-however I have also run into more problems than I expected.

For starters (and this isn’t the end of the world to me) the build quality feels very cheap to me and a step down from my V11..like they used cheaper plastic perhaps due in part to many units being produced during the COVID lockdown. Not a dealbreaker but when you pay a premium price for something, you expect higher quality material.

I also feel as though the Motörhead it comes with is a significant step in the wrong direction from the V11 torque head when it comes to vacuuming deeper carpets. I’m not sure if it has to do with the design or the new anti-tangle technology but it doesn’t seem to be nearly as effective at deep cleaning. It’s also frustrating that it will only take on deeper carpets while on eco mode..,which only naturally makes it less effective at cleaning.

I also noticed (and this makes no sense to me) that while it does a good job cleaning (especially hardwood floors) I don’t get the same sense of relief I get from my V8 or V11 allergy wise. While I understand cordless stick vacuums aren’t always the best solution for allergy/asthma sufferers-my V8 and V11 have been more than enough for me in the past. It’s almost as if it’s not hepa certified or legitimately hepa like those of the past. I’m only basing this off of how I feel after using it in comparison with my previous 2 models and it’s noticeable.

Has anyone else experienced any of these issues and does anyone have any recommendations on what may be a better option for me moving forward? Should I stick with it? Try to get another V11 animal? Go for the V12 Slim? Maybe look at the Gen 5? Thanks

October 26, 2025 -

I'm seeing that Dyson V15 is rated as the best cordless vacuum (https://vacuumwars.com/vacuum-wars-best-cordless-vacuums/), but most Redditors say to avoid Dyson due to durability/longevity concerns. However, if I buy from Costco, I'm guessing that concern is less concerning.

What cordless vacuum should I buy instead?

Are the newer Gen5Outsize and Gen5Detect significantly better?

I know it’s expensive, but I’m willing to overlook that. My biggest concern is will my hair get wrapped around the brush heads. I have very long hair which tends to tangle in vacuums (to the point that I have to cut it out with scissors). Are there any vacuums immune to this?

r/dyson on Reddit: Is it really worth it to buy a Dyson vacuum?
February 14, 2024 -

We want to buy a good, big, handheld vacuum, Dyson seems like the obvious choice. Only drawback is the price, for us, buying it would be an investment. We've looked at many reviews and there doesn't seem to be any one answer, some break down in two years, some never had a problem for multiple years, some can get destroyed by sucking up even just a little bit of water. So is a Dyson really worth it? We'd much rather get one for 500$, not a 700$. But if we do that, will it break down easily after a year or two or will it last at least four years?

I'm sorry if I'm missing anything obvious, it's the first time in many years that were buying a vacuum, let alone a Dyson, an area that we have zero prior experience with

Hello, I've been researching and reading about different model vacuums, and I understand the pros/cons of corded/bags vs. Cordless/bagless... But I am set on getting a:

  • Stick Vacuum

  • Cordless

The two vacuums I was set on were the Dyson V11 Torque Drive and the Dyson V15+.. They SEEMED to be the best, but I could just be falling for marketing / shilled user reviews, as I did see a test that showed they didn't have as much suction as some other similar brands.

So my question is.... What is better than these models? Because the cost / availability right now is giving me time to second guess and research a little more.

I think Dysons are ok cordless vacuums but they're expensive compared to the competition. LG CordZero Kompressor is $599 and comes with 2 batteries and a charging stand. Samsung Bespoke Jet is $699 and comes with 2 batteries and an auto emptying dock. Hoover Onepwr Hepa+ Bundle $309 is one of the best cordless vacuums for carpet and comes with 2 batteries and a DustChaser handheld. Henry Cordless $646 is a hepa bagged cordless canister vacuum that comes with 2 batteries. What is your flooring mix and vacuuming needs? Will this be your only vacuum?

Had a original ball that stopped working, and had a v7 and I like the stick but the suction on the stick was horrible and I returned it.

Looking into an animal 3 but would like the v15, problem is the 220 suction power on v15 I'm afraid it wouldn't use it. From what I'm being told the v15 "detects" how much suction it needs to use. I'm afraid it will just use lower suction most of the time, something I can just buy in an v8 or v10 🤷‍♀️

Worth it will depend on your situation and budget of course. I really like my v15. For me, the v15 is great. 2400sqft house, 3 bedrooms(the only rooms that have carpet), two stories and two pets(1 cat 1 dog) I use the fluffy floor head attachment for everything but the carpeted bedrooms and I have come to find that using Eco mode with the fluffy head gets ... basically everything off of my hardwood floors -- and it lasts nearly an entire hour in Eco mode. Granted, I did say I have 3 carpeted bedrooms, so I switch to the regular torque/anti-tangle head and use the v15 in "Auto" when vacuuming the bedrooms. I would say maybe 2 or 3 times tops while vacuuming the master bedroom does it switch to its "boost / use more suction while in Auto-sensing mode" function, and only for like 5 seconds if that? And I think that only is happening when I vacuum the spot my cat tends to lay at the most, since the vacuum is detecting more hair/dander and kicks it up a notch to make sure it gets everything. For handheld use day-in-day-out, I use it in Auto with the standard sort of 'long nose' 10 inch or so attachment piece. It never switches into a "more suck power" mode in handheld for me. The auto-sensing-switching function doesn't happen while in Eco mode, to make note. And ultimately the frequency at which it triggers while in Auto will depend on how messy your place is. I'm afraid it will just use lower suction most of the time, something I can just buy in an v8 or v10 The regular suction(Auto mode) of the v15 is noticeably and significantly better than the v8 to me, which I owned prior and found to be pretty weak overall. I never owned a v10, but the v15 is on point.

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.
