Some vacuums have a trigger lock so that you do not have to do this while others just have on ON/OFF button. The V15 continues the tradition of having to hold the trigger down. The Dyson cordless units continue to get heavier and heavier. When compared to all other Dyson cordless vacuums, the V15 is the heaviest of the bunch . This does result in the V15 feeling less nimble than earlier machines like the V6, V7 or even V8. If the only thing that appeals to you about the V15 Detect is the laser tools, these can be bought separately.
It’s a conical brush, twisted into a corkscrew shape, which uses centrifugal force to encourage hair to roll off the brush and into the vacuum tube.

It’s also worth noting that the shark cordless model names we’ve listed below refer to the UK variants of the vacuum.
The motorized multi-surface tool automatically adjusts the suction power to the floor type for a constant high suction power. Dyson says the V15 automatically adjusts its power output depending on the friction it’s encountering. So when it hits a big hairball, for example, it can juice the engine to suck that baby up.
In addition to the new head , the new vacuum actually employs a sensor to keep track of what it’s grabbing. Less useful than the laser, but it’s fun to log your stats. The new $400 Dyson Omni-Glide is targeted at urban apartment dwellers. This model has a slimmer, lighter design, and comes with a new “omnidirectional fluffy cleaner head” that’s built for squeezing into tight spaces and corners. Dyson claims this green light highlights grime directly in front of the V15’s fluffy cleaner head.
I’ve yet to test out the Soft Dusting Brush, but I know it can be used to suck dust out of mattresses. I’m admittedly a little lazy and don’t always have the patience to swap out the vacuum attachments to get into the corners of every room. Luckily dyson robot vacuum my go-to attachment swivels easily and fits into most corners that the larger, standard attachment wasn’t able to. If you have a large house or a lot of carpet, vacuum time can be doubled with one battery charging while the other is in use.
As one can see, in the Boost Mode, Detect features 100% more suction than the Dyson V8 vacuum cleaner . The conversion can be done in seconds, with no tools required – in order to convert the unit from the stick vacuum to the handheld unit, just remove the wand and attach the required cleaning tool. Similarly, when converting the unit from the handheld vacuum to the stick vacuum, attach the wand and required cleaning tool and You are good to go.
After every cleaning session, the graph shows how much dust you’ve removed. To reset the graph, charge the vacuum for 30 minutes or remove the battery for 15 seconds. Dyson says the graph can help you determine when you’re done cleaning.
Dyson argues it helps reassure you that a deep clean has occurred, but arguably you get that from seeing the collection bin fill up with muck. The dust-detecting laser on the soft roller head is phenomenal at picking out microscopic dirt. I’m having some building work done as I write this and heading out into the hall and seeing how much otherwise invisible dust there is on the floor at the end of the day is nothing short of astonishing. One pass of this floor head, however, and it’s all gone. There are also two new anti-tangle heads, which work in slightly different ways to keep your carpet brushes free from tangled hair. The main floor head, which Dyson calls the High Torque Cleaner, combs hair out of its brush as it goes, lifting hair away from the roller and passing it through to the vacuum tube.
