r/dyson on Reddit: V15 Detect vs. V15 Detect Absolute
May 28, 2023 -

The V15 Detect Absolute is $100 off on Dyson’s website. What am I missing on these two vacuums?

I was hoping to get the V15 on a Prime discount.

Why is the Absolute $100 off?

What’s the difference in the V15 Absolute and the V15?

Is the V15 Absolute the latest model? I noticed last week they had the “1st Generation” at $100 off, which I no longer see offered on the website.

With Dyson, the different models basically just refer to the included accessories. Think of them as packages, rather than models. The machine itself is always the same between the various models in that line (but could be different colors). The V15 and V15 Absolute are both the exact same machine. Only difference is the color, filter, and included accessories. The V15 Absolute has: Gold machine / gold wand / gold brush bar A blue HEPA filter based on EU standards - filters down to 0.1 microns Quick-clean wand 4 accessories The V15 has: Yellow machine / nickel wand / nickel brush bar A purple HEPA filter based on US standards - filters down to 0.3 microns. (Dyson doesn't advertise it as HEPA anymore since it's no longer considered HEPA in the EU.) 5 accessories The "First Generation" you seen is simply just referring to the original Absolute "package". It has the older fluffy head, but has a lot more accessories (9 accessories). The machine itself is the exact same as these...there are no different generations with the V15 machine. The first generation Absolute model/package can be found here, but is not on sale anymore: https://www.dyson.com/vacuum-cleaners/cordless/v15/detect/absolute-gold Also, the V15 line is no longer the latest model. That would be the new Gen5detect line.

The v15 absolute is the same as the v15. The absolute version is just a special color way that’s only available when you buy directly from Dyson. The latest model is the gen5 outside/detect

Can I purchase the Dyson Submarine wet roller head separately as an accessory?
No. Due to the Dyson Submarine wet roller head not being compatible with any other Dyson vacuums, it is not available as an accessory. For spare parts and support for your wet roller head, you can contact our customer service team. Contact Dyson support.

r/dyson on Reddit: Dyson V15S Detect Submarine
July 10, 2025 -

I’m thinking about finally getting a Dyson, and was thinking about the V15S détect submarine absolute, as it is on sale for 999CAD from 1199CAD.

My thought was that I could replace my spin mop, dustbuster, and regular vacuum. I have a fairly small amount of equal amounts of moppable flooring/non-moppable laminate/carpet.

Stairs are a problem - I have numerous pets who shed silky hair on the stairs. The dustbuster is useless and my vacuum is cumbersome and only marginally effective, and I don’t vac as often as I should because it is a two-person job.

Is there a lot of power as a handheld item? I was hoping that if it has enough power I could use it that way on the stairs, and vacuum daily.

r/dyson on Reddit: Should I get the V15 or V15s Submarine?
November 14, 2023 -

Hi guys, Dyson seem to be having Black Friday discounts on V15 and V15s Submarine here in Australia and they are both the same price after the discount! I've been waiting for Black Friday sales to buy a vacuum under A$1000 and these two are A$999 right now.

Other than the submarine (wet mopping) part of it, are there any other benefits in V15s submarine over regular V15 detect? Which one would you get if the submarine part wasn't really a deal breaker?

r/dyson on Reddit: V15s Submarine Complete Vacuum versus Gen5detect complete vacuum
November 27, 2024 -

My partner and I are choosing between these two vacuum sets. The price difference is quite minimal (~5%) due to Black Friday deals.

We would love some advice on which one to choose given the V15s has a hard floor washing head too.

ModelPrice
V15s Submarine Complete Vacuum (gold HEPA edition)$999
Gen5Detect Complete Vacuum (Prussian blue and rich copper edition)$1049

Below are a comparison of what comes in the package:

V15s Submarine Complete Vacuum (gold HEPA edition) Gen5Detect Complete Vacuum (Prussian blue and rich copper edition)

Based on what I can see, there is a around a 5% price difference between these two but the v15s has a wet roller head option.

Gen5Detect is the newest model with no wet roller head.

What's your advice and what would you choose?

Any feedback on your experience with these two models is appreciated too.

If you have hard floors / tile that you Swiffer or mop ( or If you have aspirations of doing so ) then having the option to clean the floors with the submarine head essentially doubles the utility of your vacuum. I clean the floors weekly with my v15. My floor plan is ~1300 sq feet fifty-fifty carpet and hard flooring. I’m able to dust, vacuum, and mop the whole floorplan on one charge in around 20 minutes. I empty the vacuum once, add a bit more water, and dump the water from the catch basin. The Gen5 has a more powerful motor , has a larger dust bin and is heavier. The button on top does help out. Though you’re probably sacrificing a bit of battery life since It’s more likely the vacuum will be left running when moving between rooms or other times where your finger would be off the trigger. Though both vacuums will tire your wrist and you will end up switching arms once or twice. That’s the bigger ergonomic problem. The extra dusting brush, gap tool, and extension hose that come with the Gen5 look really useful( especially the hose) but can be purchased after the fact for the v15, while it’s not possible to use the submarine attachment on the Gen5. I borrowed a friend’s Gen5 before deciding on getting my v15. I got the v15 on the hope that I would use the mopping attachment frequently which thankfully I was able to build the habit to use.  I have high pile carpet and rugs, so for both the Gen5 and v15 I had to vacuum those with the gates fully open and ensure I don’t press the head down too forcefully otherwise the brush motor stalled. The Gen5 did this more often than the v15, which I would attribute to the added power. I’m still shocked by the amount of dust picked up each week haha. Ultimately you are getting a good vacuum and pretty house toy either way, enjoy your selection!

The Dyson v15 is great :) But the washing head is not what you probably think it is . The head is mainly designed to clean up liquids, it’s annoying having to pick the crumbs and hair of the brush bar constantly on the wet head . The V15 also has a trigger you have to constantly hold The Gen 5 has a built in crevice tool which is great and a little better battery life . The Gen 5 has no trigger but only a button to click on then click off Both great vacuums but I’ll go for the Gen 5. Good luck and happy Vacuuming Edit - the newer V15 do have built in crevice tools

Submarine Review : r/dyson
December 27, 2023 - Got mine today (Oct 24), was either the submarine or the laser attachment, wish I went with the latter. It doesn’t use suction whatsoever. Ok for daily mop of a small area such as the kitchen, but takes ages. Certainly does not replace mopping. I have a feeling it’s intended to pick up small spills (juice, milk, etc). V15 vac itself is great.
