V12 Detect Slim

I’d suggest nothing other than Dyson or Miele, for every reason you could possibly imagine, but unfortunately those would both exceed budget. They both last, have incredible and long lasting cordless power which is convenient, best airtight sealed HEPA filtration, good cleaning performance, brilliant on all floor types and is able to detect the difference and alter power, and Dyson is especially good with hair of all manner, got 3 cats and 3 long haired people and not ever a single one around one of my Dyson tools.

From Miele, Triflex HX2 Cat & Dog, or the Triflex HX2 Pro. They have around 60 minutes battery life, automatic flooring detection so it adapts to your hard floor in terms of brush bar power, the Pro comes with two batteries which is probably a bit overkill for a small flat, whereas the pet comes with a motorised brush bar pet tool, which the pet tool I can’t say wether it’s good or not because I don’t have that. I just know Miele do some very good quality and long lasting vacuums that everyone raves about. From Dyson, considering you’re in a small flat, you’d probably be best with the V12 Detect™ Slim, it has a smaller dust bin but would be fine in a smaller space, it also has 60 minutes run time, adaptive cleaning which changes suction according to how dirty an area is, the green light is brilliant and so much better than just a white headlight (as gimmicky as it sounds) it really does light up the dust, and the pet-like tool (it’s called the hair screw) has not once had hair around it on mine (and we have 2 long haired people and 3 cats), it’s always hair free because it’s cone like design the hair works its way down the cone and gets sucked up, I love the hair screw tool. And also I wouldn’t worry about changing from corded to cordless despite what people say, it’s the difference between a good and a bad one, the bad ones only last about 20 minutes, my Dyson boasts 60 but I can get a good 90 mins out of it, and if you’re in a small space then it will be ample anyways, I live in a 3 bed rather large flat with hard floor and carpet (and the carpet uses more power for suction and brush bar speed) but I can get everywhere done and still have battery left.

I like our V12 with detect light for our hardwood floors and tiles. It’s been going for 3 years and does fine as long as you clean and replace filters. It lacks the battery life and grunt to properly clean our large area rugs, so we use a corded bagged commercial vac for those.

We've used a V12 for 4 years, which has been more than adequate for the hardwood/tile floors in our 1600sq house. But we do have a lot of thick area rugs, which we use a bagged upright vacuum for (a Hoover Tempo purchased for $40 on clearance). The Dyson doesn't have the power or battery life to properly clean those as there is no substitute for the Hoover's 1400W motor. But it shines as a convenient way to clean the hard floors before mopping. A two-vacuum solution may be better for people with mixed floor surfaces in many cases. There are likely cheaper stick vacs that perform as well as the Dyson these days. But one feature that can't be understated is a detect light so that you're not missing spots. It's also satisfying in an OCD sort of way.

Ryobi’s parent company also owns Hoover. I think the future of cordless vacuums is going to look a lot more like the power tool model. One battery platform, many tools. The Dyson model of one battery (which may or may not be in stock on our website), one vacuum is obsolete.

We use our cordless vacuum just for the hardwood floors and tiles. We used a bagged, corded vacuum to clean area rugs. If I run the Dyson stick over the rugs, I can run the 12 amp Hoover after and still suck up a bunch of dog fur the Dyson missed.

Nekünk v12 detect slim absolute van és jelentem hogy nem kell nyomni és könnyű. Cserébe a gyakran kell űríteni a tartályt.

Also ich bin mit dem Dyson V12 Slim detect extrem zufrieden, leicht, saugstark und wechselbarer Akku.

I second this. I have the V12 Slim Detect and it does a good job. But the bin is small so I have to stop and empty it out frequently when cleaning.

The Dyson V12 detect slim is amazing. It also feels like a toy in a fun way but still effective.

I think the best option for you would be [this](https://www.amazon.com/Detect-Absolute-Cordless-Handheld-Cleaner/dp/B0B76XZZDT?crid=2I2RB5SI8ENJE&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.3__wKnwE2l6J7uroCRCNkA4AKMse_9Jd7IinLJycmDafAf_XI8dc6FXstGKdpxwTsFjms1eaV8JLzbV6F1VFScSHcTZ4J_UhqvSDSmoIflxx6VAu8vK4TjsfmCOTagBuy1Yls593kN1EvFN1v5j3V3ysRKhQNb4medQ_9fAP2ppGrhWKCza-cAzYjU_QhWSnx2O3QG9tQYLLsQuJQjazg3uBdHXwaMztX8JNHFu6YW4.DvPiZID56tHYlDi_hjfo1JJ59fv1NVzaJ8cdkE53mx8&dib_tag=se&keywords=Dyson+V12+Detect+Slim&qid=1770627917&sprefix=%2Caps%2C437&sr=8-1&linkCode=ll2&tag=grok43-20&linkId=324d38c2009b3d85a7827da3b03acb95&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl) from dyson. I think overall it is a very good option to go for. I think it will work pretty good for you. I would highly recommend it.The laser will make your cleaning sessions more effective because you'll *see* what you're picking up. Just be prepared to empty the bin after each session.
