Hi there Darcy, this is Tia from Dyson! The Dyson V15 Detect+ comes with the same tools as the core V15 Detect, plus the Combination Crevice tool, Reach Under tool, along with a HEPA filter that can capture 0.2 microns smaller than our standard filtration, including particles such as pet dander and diesel soot.
The V15 Detect + also includes our Low-reach adapter, which bends to comfortably reach down low under furniture as well as our Combi-crevice tool, which are two tools in one – narrow nozzle and brush, for quick switching between cleaning and dusting tasks.
We truly appreciate your interest in Dyson's cordless technology!
Best wishes,
Tia

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?

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.

V15 Detect vs Detect Plus : r/dyson
April 20, 2025 - Dyson support told me that mine was the Detect+, but I don’t have the built-in crevice tool. Can I buy that stick separately? ... I guess I’m still confused… Dyson support ran my serial number and said I have the Plus, but it didn’t come with the built-in crevice tool. :/ ... Those two first pieces are what normally come with the regular v15 detect, I have one and those along with a few more attachments came with it.

May 24, 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

August 13, 2022 - I have the one called Dyson V15 Detect + and yes it’s the same thing. They changed it a few months ago. You still get the updated HEPA filter, the wand with the built-in crevice tool, and extra tools that come with it unlike the standard V15.
