Dyson - Gen5detect

You can try Gen5Detect...it is basically the V15 on steroids, more suction, better filtration, slightly bigger bin. Only downside is it’s heavier, so if you’re doing stairs a lot you’ll notice. Otherwise, it’s Dyson’s peak right now.

So overwhelmed with all the options. I currently have a Dyson Gen5detect and it's fine I guess, but I feel like it misses so much dust and cat litter. Looking for a corded vacuum with lots of suction. We do have some medium pile carpet, but really looking for something that aces on hard surfaces (wood, laminate, vinyl). My budget is around $600ish.

I bought a gen5 detect after using a Shark and it's literally blown me away by how good it is. Laser is amazing, suction is great. I wish all the accessories would also light up. Not sure why they omitted the LEDs from the carpet brush. Maybe you bought a lemon or the v12 isn't good as a model.

So my setup for 4 cats and a dog. 1500sq ft. Hardwood and tile, no carpet. Upstairs: iRobot i4 Roomba. Downstairs: iRobot 980. Downstairs: iRobot M6 mop. My Roombas (iRobots) are great to me because they run where I can't easily reach. They go under things (sofa, bookshelves, beds, etc). They run when I'm not home. They keep the "tumbleweeds" under control. When you get the map dialed in and your furniture / cables organized so they don't get hung up, they're great. Are they perfect? No. But can I tell if they don't run for a day? Absolutely. Whole house: Dyson Gen5detect. I *despise* this thing. Purchased in November 2023 when it was their top of the line product. I've had nothing but issues. Warranty replaced the whole machine in May 2025. This one is even worse; feels like a second cheaper run of the product. It even sounds cheaper when it runs (higher pitch), feels fragile, just doesn't suck as well as the first one, auto detect doesn't work, it won't switch to boost when running on auto., pushes around the dog hair... the list goes on and on. It's being replaced AGAIN under warranty as of August 2025. Robots run twice a day; mop runs once a day. Dyson is for every 3-4 days to catch what was missed and the stairs. At this point, my robots are doing the heavy lifting and we're looking at Sebos. Seems like bagless just will not last as long. Full stop. For the robots, yes bin size is important but HEPA is more important to me due to dander. You want something that will pack the bin full. My 980 thinks it's "full" when it's about 1/4 to half full because pet hair is fluffy and it triggers the full bin sensor. They fixed this on the i4 which will PACK that bin to bursting before it triggers full bin. Run time is less important; most robots have recharge and resume now if they map. I've also had an Eufy (I think it was an 11S?) For $200 I was impressed. I just missed the smart map; it was an old style where it bumps and then pivots to cover an area. It was annoying to watch after a "smart" robot vac. I've gifted these for housewarming gifts and the recipients (who also have pets) like them. I hope this helps.

I'm really happy with my Dyson. Gen5 detect something... 4 years old, works great.

Keine Ahnung wieso der Dyson Service scheiße sein soll. Ich hab auch echt gemischte Erfahrungen bei deren Qualität gemacht, aber bei den Luftreiniger und da gab's immer anstandslos Ersatz in kürzester Zeit. Staubsauger habe ich seit 2019 den v11 im Einsatz und sehr gefeiert. Der läuft bis heute gut und hatte keinerlei Aussetzer oder Macken. Seit 2024 haben wir noch den gen5detect und feiern den enorm. Saugt noch deutlich mehr ein und der Akku hält halt länger. Würde ich nie mehr missen wollen. Also eine Lanze für Dyson gebrochen

Gen5Detect but the soft roller really makes it a stick clean so much better. Relying on suction alone isn’t ideal since they don’t have as much as stronger corded vacs.

For what, your weight set? Jk. Dyson V15 Detect, Gen5Detect, and Miele Triflex HX2 are the most powerful stick vacs. Some people complain about the way the HX2’s dust bin opens but it really is simple and takes not time at all. You turn the lid counterclockwise to 10 O’ Clock position to remove it, then turning the lid to the counterclockwise 8 O’ Clock position opens the trapped door which is where the dirt falls out of. Full machine disassembly for deep cleaning / repair / service is significantly easier with the Triflex. It relies on one cyclone whereas the V15 and Gen5Detect have numerous cyclone (6 or 8?), so they don’t need filter cleaning as often. Their dirt bin capacities are a little larger, but they should all be emptied after each use imo. For all sticks, fully charge the battery before using it the first time. Does something to pair it with the circuit board.

The Dyson V15 and Gen5Detect are the most powerful cordless stick vacs. I believe they’re worth owning, but they aren’t worth being the only vacuum someone has. In other words, a good corded main vac is still necessary for deep cleaning.

I have a dyson gen5 detect that we got when they were like 40% off earlier in the year. No word of a lie it’s the best vacuum I’ve ever used, shop vacs included. Makes my carpets look freshly steamed even with all the hair my car leaves in it.

Ik heb de Dyson Gen5 Detect. Aankoop van de eeuw.

Not sure I can agree on the customer service part, I recently purchased some other Dyson products and then had a hell of a time trying to return them. However, I can agree on the strength of the Dysons. We have a 15-year-old 19 animal (still going strong) and we have just purchased a new cordless G5 detect. The power on this thing is ridiculous and it’s pulling up all sorts from the depth of the carpet. The runtime is fine and more than we need. The laser is amazing on hard floors, a real game changer.
