Great cordless vacuum cleaner
I purchased this vacuum cleaner 4 weeks ago. I am very happy with the performance of the Gen5detect. It makes my other electric barrel Dyson obsolete. The Fluffy Optic cleaner head is fantastic for showing microscopic dust on hard floors. My only gripe with the vacuum is that Dyson states it has a 70 minute runtime. However, using the vacuum on medium power, this is probably a 30 minute runtime. I would recommend this vacuum cleaner to anyone who wants a high quality cordless vacuum.

Great machine
I just love this machine. The green light on the hard floor head shows all the dirt and dust on the floor. Was horrified how dirty my floor was but now I can see if being properly cleaned. The noise levels are also so good. My cats no longer run for the hills when the vacuum cleaner starts up. Thank you Dyson for an amazing machine.

Battery Life
I bought this vacuum 3 weeks ago as an update to my V11 Dyson vacuum . I love some of the updates the power on off button instead of trigger on off is a great one . Also the light fluffy head cleaner for hardwoods . Helps see all the dirt that you may have missed without it .But I’m a bit disappointed in the battery life . I have a 1300 share foot ranch with area rugs and hardwoods and can’t get through the whole house one a full charge . This vacuum being the top of the line i thought it would stay charged longer than my older V11 cordless vacuum . My V11 i never ran out of charge vacuuming . That is definitely a big disappointment for me when it’s advertised to have this long battery life. All in all it’s a great vacuum just the battery a problem for me .

Great suction
I have had Dyson vacuums for years, and could not believe the difference on this latest vacuum. Just WOW. It sucked up so much dirt and silt that the previous one missed. Thank you Dyson

Great vacuum
Absolutely obsessed with how well this vacuum sucks and all the dust it is able to pick up. I wish there was more weight on the heads of the vacuum though. There is not much ‘swivel’ on the carpet head for ease of turning. The hardwood floor one has way better ability to swivel. Battery life is impressive. We have a side split house that has four levels. If I run the vacuum on economy mode then I’m almost able to do all four levels. But only one of two if I use auto, which I prefer because it collects more. Overall I would definitely recommend the vacuum. Just wish the machine somehow wasn’t so top heavy where you hold the machine.

Pros Excellent vacuum, enormous suction and easy to use. Cons a little heavier than the v15 and I miss the small rug head. Either way I'm sold on Dyson
