Dyson Gen5 Detect vs. Dyson V15 Detect Absolute?

reddit.com › r › dyson › comments › 1aexejg › dyson_gen5_detect_vs_dyson_v15_detect_absolute

This was me last month. I went with the Gen 5 because it has better suction, better battery life & more attachments. Also it doesnt have a trigger. I can’t imagine having to press that trigger while I clean my entire house. (I know there are attachments for this but it’s a dumb design flaw) If you can spare the cash go with gen 5.

r/dyson on Reddit: V15 Detect vs. V15 Detect Absolute

May 26, 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

r/dyson on Reddit: Gen5detect vs. V15 detect absolute

July 28, 2023 -

Trying to decide whether the Gen5detect is worth the additional $200USD over the V15 detect absolute. Down to these two since they both include the built in tools and HEPA filtration (both improved from base V15 detect). Differences on Gen5 seem to be: (+) better light for showing dust (+) better battery (+) more suction (+) shows on display if area is clean (+/-) no trigger…not sure if good or bad (-) heavier by ~1lb

Those who have used…do these changes represent +$200 in value over the previous state of the art?

The V15 actually has the same brighter "Fluffy Optic" head as the Gen5 now, so that is no longer a difference or a pro for the Gen5. (The old version was called "Laser Slim Fluffy".) Regarding more suction power, the Gen5's 262 AW (air watts) and the V15's 230 AW are based on "Boost" mode, which only lasts five minutes, bad for the long-term battery health, and is meant to be used sparingly. I would be curious to know how much more suction (if any) is seen when using Auto/Med or Eco mode. Also, more suction isn't always "better". Reviews have shown the V15 cleans just as good as the Gen5 , if not better. I don't mind the trigger. It's easy to hold and let go when I'm picking things up or moving around, which helps save the battery. Of course you could just press the button too, but it's not as seamless as the trigger since you need to use both hands (one to hold the vacuum and the other to press the button). Say you need to move stuff around...with the V15, just let go of trigger while you move things with your other hand; with the Gen5, push the button, move things, push the button. That may sound a bit nitpicky, but I know others have said the same thing. You can get a trigger lock on Amazon if you do get tired of having to hold it in. Sure, the battery is better, but only by 10 minutes (70 mins vs. 60 mins). I've never had any issues with the battery running low on my V15. Using the fluffy head lasts a long time for me...and even longer if I use Eco mode. The particle counter counting down on the Gen5 to show if an area is clean seems neat, but the same thing can be accomplished on the V15 too...just look to see when the bars slow down or stop moving. Personally, I think the best deal is the V15 at Costco for $560 when it's on sale (which it currently is). It comes with 10 attachments, including the new/brighter Fluffy Optic head. You can buy the HEPA filter ( $30 ) and quick-clean wand ( $40 ) separately if you are really wanting those. You'd essentially have the Absolute model with a ton more accessories for far less than Dyson's offering. Based on Costco's pricing, you may have to ask yourself...is the Gen5 worth it for $400 more? (Or is the V15 Absolute from Dyson worth $200 more?) It is a subjective question, only you will be able to decide how much you want to pay for what you get.

This is a tough one. I bought the Costco V15 Detect on a promotion ($140 off, or $550 w/o taxes) and then the Gen5Detect at BestBuy for their membership price of $898, so a difference of $348. But I had both to compare—and return. Here’s what I found and decided: First, they are both excellent vacuums. If you get the V15, you will not be unhappy (unless you hate that trigger pull - I personally don’t like it but it’s not a deal killer either). Suction and cleaning-wise, you will get an excellent result from both. But here’s the math in my head. How much would I pay for the extra suction? $100? OK. How much for the better HEPA filtration? $100? OK. Anything else? Yes, one killer feature and it may not seem like much, and it’s a simple design feature - the Gen5Detect stick detaches into a corner cleaning tool. That simple feature saves me time not having to switch out attachments when I’m cleaning. Time saved for me is well worth more than $100. If you’re psyching yourself out and emotionally want the Gen5Detect, consider that. Ultimately it’s subjective, but I chose to go with the Gen5Detect. I still feel like I burned a few extra bucks but I’m not regretting it if I consider that this will last me many years.

April 20, 2022 -

Can someone explain if there is any difference between the two? The absolute version appears to be $150 more expensive so I can't see it being significantly better...though it is out of stock whereas the total clean isn't out of stock

Absolute will have different filter, which is 0.1% better, and cyan color🙂 In the box, it has extra battery + charger and the light saber attachment. That should be it.

I am debating this right now too. And it’s actually a $50 difference on Dyson’s website. I see the V15 for detect for $749 and V15 detect absolute for $799. So I feel like for $50 it’s worth it?

r/dyson on Reddit: Dyson V8 absolute vs V15 detect absolute

December 5, 2023 -

I’m currently in need of a replacement vacuum, long story short I have had a v8 and loved it and damaged the housing of that and a v10 due to multiple drops because we weren’t allowed to screw things into the wall so I couldn’t mount it. I’ve learned my lesson and I’ve gone months without a vacuum. Our current place is all hardwood floors and tiles on one level abt 1900sqft, whenever we buy a home hopefully in the next year or two I will assume there will be carpet in the bedrooms. Do I go for another V8 since it’s on sale for under $300? The new version on the stain website comes with a fluffy head for hard floors that I didn’t have before and desperately need. The v15 is currently on sale for $499 which is the lowest price I’ve seen for it, I’m just not sure if it’s worth the extra $200. We loved our v8 and while the v10 was fine it also didn’t have a soft head for hard floors and it didn’t really wow me one way or the other. I remember being amazed at the v8 probably because it was used on carpet then but still it was a great vacuum!

The v15 truly is an upgrade in many ways, from suction to runtime to bin capacity. Plus things like the laser light on the fluffy hard floor head is really nice to have. But it is a bit heavier in the hand and more expensive. I think if you're looking to move to a larger place in the near future it would be worth it.

V15 is a great uprgrade and totally worth it. Firstly, it can automatically regulate the power as it has sensors that count how many different particles it vacuums, so it can notice that some area is dirtier than the other; secondly, v15 is much more powerful than the v8; and also, the battery is removable, so there's no need to mount a charging station into a wall, you can just charge the battery with a charger and store the device itself elsewhere. All in all, v15 has many benefits, including the brush with a lazer and anti-tangle brush that would make a cleaning process easier and more enjoyable. The fluffy optic brush is amazing, it seems that the laser was made with the same precision technology that was used to locate Osama Bin Laden.

r/VacuumCleaners on Reddit: Can someone advise on Dyson V15 Detect Absolute vacuum

August 5, 2023 -

I was considering Miele C3, but now gravitating toward Dyson V15 Detect Absolute.

Can someone explain why Miele C3 might be a better choice? Is Dyson V15 Detect Absolute fully sealed? I see in their description that it has HEPA filter, but is it fully sealed?

So stick Vacuums in any of the Dyson stick vacuums are meant for quick pickups. They don't have the power or capacity to be your only vacuum. The C3 is a full size canister designed to get your whole house clean. On top of that significantly more powerful than the Dyson. There's also filtration the C3 is one of the best filtering portable vacuums out there. The Dyson V10-v15 design has really loose tolerances on the HEPA therefore that filter will need to be changed very regularly. There's also the hole not having to go outside and empty your vacuum every time you use it. Bags are better. Then there's longevity the Miele C3 is made in Germany and designed to last a thousand working hours or 20 years. Dyson says 2-4 years on there stick vacuums.

I only just got a C3 Cat and Dog after having Dyson for the last ten years and it makes Dyson look like toys.

November 28, 2024 -

Hi,

I am in New Zealand and would like advice on which vacuum cleaner would be the best. Currently, the Gen5 Detect Complete is on sale for NZ$995, while the V15S Detect Submarine compete is priced at NZ$999. I'm confident the V15 Detect Absolute will go on sale before the end of the year, likely for around NZ$945, as it did in November.

Since all three models are available at a similar price, I'm wondering which one would be the best choice. My downstairs open-plan area has laminated flooring, but all other areas are carpeted. While a mop feature would be nice, my priority is the best vacuuming performance.

I am at a crossroads between these two models. I am inching towards Gen5 Detect only because it has a brighter laser, on/off button, and slightly stronger suction.

However, I've come across some posts stating that the V15 Detect Absolute now has the same laser as the Gen5 Detect? Can anyone confirm and point to an official source? If this is the case, I may just save the few hundred dollars and go for the V15 Detect Absolute.

Thank you all!

The saving for V15 is £200, so you’re paying 50% more for the gen5. IRL apparently just 2.5 mins more battery, 10% more suction, a head you can now get separately, and a button v trigger. Is that really worth it I’m not convinced…. It’s also substantially heavier than the v15!

This was me last month. I went with the Gen 5 because it has better suction, better battery life & more attachments. Also it doesnt have a trigger. I can’t imagine having to press that trigger while I clean my entire house. (I know there are attachments for this but it’s a dumb design flaw) If you can spare the cash go with gen 5.

r/dyson on Reddit: The difference between V15 Detect and V15 Detect Plus

April 29, 2023 -

We’re looking to buy our first cordless Dyson, but I’m so confused with their product naming practices and the website is not helpful at all.

What is the difference between the two? I understand that the Absolute variant comes with more accessories, but isn’t Detect Plus the newer model with a more advanced filtration system (the blue HEPA filter)? If so, why is the suction power of the latter lower (230 vs 240 of the non-plus)?

And one more question: is the fluffy roller really worth the extra money? We mostly have hard floors in our house and a golden retriever, does it pick up hair better than the standard extension or is it mostly a gimmick?

https://postimg.cc/gallery/vMFXtvj

Thank you.

The soft roller is a game changer for hard floors. The bristles are softer so it doesn't scratch the floor and the green light is amazing. Uncovers much more dust and hair, that you wouldn't have seen otherwise. Get the V15 Absolute or V15 complete if it's possible. And the V15 detect + is a worse model so thats why it has worse suction.

Definitely would recommend going for the V15 absolute model or Absolute Gold, with extra accessories such as the hair screw tool and laser fluffy head. Really get the full value out of the machine with these accessories. Difference in suction power is purely down to the different filters, HEPA post filter drops it down to 230 as it lets slightly less air through, but this shouldn’t be noticeable. Explained a bit more below: The Post Filter (purple) captures 99.99% of particles down to 0.3 microns. This includes the likes of dust mites, pollen particles, mould spores, skin flakes and those particles the size of some bacteria. The HEPA post filter (blue) captures 99.97% of particles as small as 0.1 microns. Further trapping ultra fine particles such as pet dander and diesel soot. Helping towards creating a cleaner and more hygienic home. This additional filtration allows for the naming specification as HEPA.

August 16, 2022 - Dyson has too many different names for them in each market haha, in the UK it’s called the Dyson V15 Detect Absolute + and the standard V15 is Dyson V15 Detect Absolute (but I guess they did that because they also sell a blue cylinder V15 that has less tools than the standard V15).

r/dyson on Reddit: V15 Detect Absolute feels cheap?

February 21, 2025 -

So about a year ago i got a v15 detect absolute as a replacement for an old Miele.

I'll start with the good things:

Its extremely good a picking up dirt on every surface, i especially like the fluffy head with the laser light. Looks very aesthetic and the battery is also very, very impressive somehow it last 2 hours on auto mode.

But it fell super cheap. Constantly creaking, the parts don't snap into place nicely, sometimes i have to use a lot of force. Scratches and clogs easily and looks like its been through more than my 15 year old Miele! I clean it thoroughly often and treat it as gently as possible yet i dont see it lasting more that 2-3 years.

Where's the quality? Is everyone experiencing this and just overlooking it because of the brand name?

Any input is helpful.

The way I see it is that Dyson vacuums have such a large following and they also hold a certain value where people will opt to repair them. This value makes for a healthy market of aftermarket and used parts. I see it similar to iPhones. Just search on Aliexpress and you can pretty much build a vacuum from used and aftermarket parts, it is not cost effective compared to a used one but it is available. Anyone with curiosity and a bit of mechanical aptitude can take these things apart with a philips and a torx screwdriver. Take care of them, don’t drop them, wash the rollers and brush heads, and clean the dust bin and cyclone and it should last.

This is how dysons are yes, shiny plastic, wobbly joints, small clips that can fail, even the motors and circuit boards can fail before the 5 year mark. And getting spare parts is increasingly difficult even under warranty. Thats the price of cordless convenience, they're more like a smartphone than a vacuum in terms of repairability and warranty support. 3 to 5 years is a pretty average lifespan for the cordless models. Goes for most brands really, but yes you'd hope the premium prices dyson charge would get you higher reliability.

I've been waiting for black friday(ish) to finally get a V15 but I can't decide which to go with? i'm not sure if the extra accessories from costco are worth it. Any advice on which one to go with?

Just to let you know I just bought this vacuum on black friday and used it over the weekend. I had it charge for the recommended length of time and it didn’t even last an hour which really sucked. And the green laser light on the front of the one attachment was awesome for seeing dog hair and dust I would have never seen before, but after using it on full blast it still didn’t pick up all the hair. Plus it’s really hard to use on rugs. I’m going to return it, but I have no idea what else to get unfortunately.

My use case is a cramped 2 bedroom apartment. This would be my primary vacuum. I don’t have space for more than 1 vacuum.

Is the v15 worth the extra $300? Is refurbished a bad idea? Or should I get out of my comfort zone and get that Miele vacuum on Amazon for $280?

I’m not sure you should ever spend $550 on a cordless vac. I will say that if you’re interested in the detect light, there are inexpensive add on kits which you can buy and attach to vacs like the V11

Which Miele is on Amazon for $280? Probably the C1 I’m guessing.

r/dyson on Reddit: Dyson V15 Detect Absolute first generation on sale, what's the difference?

June 18, 2022 -

Saw the "first generation" on sale for $600 after $200 off.

https://www.dyson.com/vacuum-cleaners/cordless/v15/detect/absolute-gold

The "normal" (latest?) is $750.

https://www.dyson.com/vacuum-cleaners/cordless/v15/detect-absolute-hepa-gold

The only difference between the two seems to be the HEPA designation in the link. The actual description of the HEPA filter and testing caveat is exactly the same.

So what is the difference between these two versions?

The filter is actually the same. The "first generation" says HEPA elsewhere on the page. Dyson only has purple and blue filters. Purple is HEPA based on US standards (but Dyson no longer advertises this); blue is HEPA based on EU standards (and also meets US standards).

The only differences are with the attachments...

The "first generation" includes 8 attachments (9 if you count the wand clip), but has the old "Laser Slim Fluffy" head. It's not as bright as the newer version. Some people have said they basically need to vacuum in the dark or with blinds/curtains closed.

The other one has 4 attachments and has the new brighter "Fluffy Optic" head, which is much easier to see during the day. You can also select a free cleaning kit when you add it to your cart for an additional 3 attachments.

So the machines are the same there is a redesign on the laser head also if it's the first gen it's going to come with more tools

How do I know so much ?

Guess where I work 😁

Hey everyone,

I’m currently trying to decide between the Dyson V15 Detect Total Clean Extra (most additional attachments) and the Dyson Gen5 Detect absolutely. The catch is — both are priced the same at Canada, and I’m genuinely confused about which one offers better value.

Moving to a 5b 3ba house with a full carpet basement and genuinely confused if the extra power in the Gen 5 is superior for cleaning over V15 with all tools.

I recommend the Gen 5 it’s newer , better technology. Less motor issues then the v15.

Is this a secondary Vac for you? Pets?

r/dyson on Reddit: Dyson v15 Absolute Detect vs v12 on sale

December 26, 2020 -

Currently looking at these 2 options.

Leaning more towards the v15 as I have a long haired dog who sheds a lot. House is 2000 square feet mostly LVP so not much carpet.

My main concern is the v15 will outperform cleaning up hair. If the v12 is just fine for that I wouldn’t mind it especially for 200 dollars less. However I don’t mind spending the money on a v15 if the performance is really that worth it.

I’m also wondering if the hair screw tool performs really well on fabric furniture and such. If it performs the same between v12 and 15 that could definitely sway me more.

Not really worried about emptying bins or triggers vs buttons.

Any input would be welcome or if anyone knows how to get a discount for the v15. I never post on Reddit and am on mobile so sorry if this formatting sucks. It is what it is.

I only have the V15 Absolute and used the hair screw tool on fabric furniture. It works exceptionally well.

Since I have recently bought it and it is my first Dyson product I was shocked and ashamed at the amount of dirt/dust it sucked up from my sofa. I was only expecting to pick the cat hair that was visible on it but I literally filled the bin three quarters to full with fine dust (which I'm 99% percent was saturated with dust-mites) the first time I used it on that sofa. All that dust must have been deeply embedded but because the screw tool vibrates the fabric and the soft material underneath it it must have pulled all the dust to the surface and sucked it in.

I now can barely see with the naked eye some dust at the bottom of the bin when I use it on the same use sofa, which proves it deeply cleaned it.

Can't speak of the v12 since haven't used it.

The V15 was on sale last week and the V12 wasn’t. Just wait a couple weeks and they’ll probably switch the discount around again.

Edit: pretty sure the V15 was $599 with the discount last week. So not much more than the V12 now if you can wait.

r/dyson on Reddit: v15 Detect Absolute versus v15 Detect Complete (UK)

May 9, 2021 -

I'm a bit confused about the difference between these two machines. I bought the Absolute when it came out in the UK about 4 weeks ago but about 2 weeks after that the Complete was released at the same price. I thought the only difference was that the Complete included the light pipe crevice tool.

After seeing a post here about some German models, I dug a bit deeper and I see that the Absolute is about 250g heavier has 10AW more but is listed as "whole machine filtration" while the Complete says "HEPA whole machine filtration". I contacted Dyson for clarification but I did not receive any.

I'm not sure if I should return the Absolute for the Complete instead as I'm still within the 35 day return period for another week. Any thoughts?

Both models use the same core main body so don't know how their can be a 10 air watts difference. It's possible it could be a typo mistake on the product page for the absolute. I know when I ordered the V15 Animal Gold the product page stated it came with the mini soft dusting brush but it wasn't in the box or mentioned on the box itself, instead they had replaced it with the light pipe crevice tool which was listed on the box it came in but not on the product page. Dyson have still yet to correct that or update the included tools on the page to show the V15 Animal gold version comes with the light pipe crevice tool. In terms of difference between the Absolute and Complete model the Complete comes with an extra tool in the form of the light pipe crevice tool which is usually £50 and also comes with a more advanced HEPA filter. HEPA filter on your Absolute model filters down to 0.3 microns, whilst the advanced HEPA filter on the Complete filters down to as small as 0.1 microns. Why they didn't included the the advanced HEPA filter with the V15 as standard I don't know though I'm assuming it's so they can claim the new filter is an exclusive upgrade for those who choose to order one of the Exclusive Dyson.co.uk models.

Long short story, we wanted to get the top of the line product as our first gift after the wedding.

According to our local site, the Detect Absolute was the one, but now I‘ve seen that the Detect Extra is the “top” of the line.

Are we missing much by going with the Detect Absolute one, though? The differences seem to be the “HEPA” filter and one extra accessory.

Thanks!

Why did you put HEPA filter in quotes ? Lol. It’s a full hepa filter, no need to put quotes around it. Anywho, yes - it’s the same machine. The only difference will be the filter and attachments.

They are all the same main unit. The only diff is the colours / accessories. The green hepa filter which is now becoming more common goes down to 0.1 micron where as the standard purple only goes down to 0.3

Hello everyone!

I just found this almost brand-new Dyson V15 Detect Absolute for sale on the FB marketplace, and I'd like to know if it's real or fake.

It seems to be an EU model, and it only includes:

Fluffy Optic™ cleaner head
Crevice/combination tool
Docking station
Digital Motorbar™ cleaner head

Shouldn't it also include the hair screw tool, wand clip and low-reach adaptor?

What seems most suspicious to me is the "Digital Motorbar cleaner head", which says "Anti-tangle comb" and has a purple roller. Is it supposed to be like that? I searched the internet and did a Google reverse image search, but I couldn't find anything resembling the one on the sales post. What do you guys think?

I appreciate any help you guys can provide. Thanks!

Looks real. Has that genuine Dyson fisher-price plastic quality lol

Too good to be fake!

r/dyson on Reddit: Does anyone else hate their V15?

January 28, 2025 -

I bought a V15 Absolute directly from Dyson to replace an old V8. I loved the V8 so I was quite excited when I ordered the V15. My wife and I HATE THIS THING. It clogs ALL the time, the variable suction seems to never be right for the application and we miss our old V8. We are probably going to sell it and get something else. We were Dyson evangelists based on the V8 but we both are so so so disappointed in the V15.

Mines been running perfect for 2 years straight. Keep it clean and don’t vacuum up liquids. Maintenance is a PITA, but that’s what you get with these products.

I’ve stopped even considering Dyson since they went exclusively cordless. I prefer corded vacuum cleaners and have their Big Ball 2 series which is incredible and super reliable. It’s beyond me why they’d just stop building and developing corded vacuums.
