The automatic power adjustment, hands-free operation, and comprehensive attachments are frequently highlighted as thoughtful design elements that enhance daily cleaning. Most find it outperforms previous models significantly. Some mention the vacuum is heavier than expected and battery life doesn't last through multi-level homes on one charge. A few report carpet performance issues or mechanical concerns. Overall, the vast majority consider it an exceptional cleaning investment despite minor drawbacks.

Haven't used the unit enough to give it five stars. Suction is terrific - picks up everything. Tank empties with ease. So far the unit has met all my expectations. Finally a battery that can be swapped out easily (if you want to have two batteries). One battery is enough for me -- so far.

Excellent Vacuum, Highly Recommended

I have had a Dyson V8 for many many years and still works great. I wanted a Gen5 and finally got one. It is worth it. I use it on both rugs and bare floors and am alway amazed at the amount it picks up even when the area looks clean. The vacuum is well balanced so it takes not effort to push it, even on my deep pile carpet. I have vacuumed most the house and never run out of battery power. Since I have allergies I am very glad for the HEPA filtration. I would recommend to anyone.

Great maneuverable cordless vacuum!

Would Recommend

The Gen5 Detect works very well. It appears to pick up a lot of dust and fibers that were not being grabbed by our old upright Hoover. It has enough suction on carpets that my wife uses Eco mode to make it easier to push. The vacuum adjust slider on the front of the carpet tool is useful for adjusting to different carpet piles. The Eco mode also has the benefit of significantly extending the battery run time. The carpet tool is extremely maneuverable and the vacuum seems to be significantly quie...

Frustrated

I am actually very disappointed with my Dyson Gen5detect…. The suction works amazing on my wood floors and I can’t complain but on my carpets it doesn’t work at all. The motor turns completely off, the suction is too hard. I have troubleshooted all of the suggestions with this but so far there is no fix. I literally have to use my old vacuum for my carpet. So beyond frustrated.

Love it!!!!

Would Recommend

Love this Dyson. Have owned others before that I wasn’t happy with, but this one is great. Very strong does a great job on floors and carpets. I was amazed with my first time use on how much it pulled out of the carpet. Has a very large bin and a very long running capacity compared to most others. Able to do my entire home on one charge. Really impressed with its power.

Best Dyson Version To Date!

Would Recommend

When I first learned there was no trigger, I thought oh this might be annoying, but quite the opposite. I actually like not having to keep a trigger pressed to vacuum. Very good idea…the suction is amazing and in the auto mode it changes seamlessly between rugs and tile quickly! Light weight long lasting battery allows me to vacuum 3,000 sq ft of living space.

Works great!!

Would Recommend

I really love how well my carpets and floors are being cleaned by my Dyson. I thought at first it wouldn’t clean my area rugs, but found if I turned it to eco mode it worked just fine. I like how the attachments go off and on so easily. On my last vacuum, I gave up removing attachments because it was so difficult to do. I have not had a problem yet with the battery going dead before I was finished vacuuming. I don’t really think it is loud compared to other vacuums I have had. Overall, I am hap...

Yes, I bought this a week ago. The fifth generation thinking it was gonna be great. I have A yellow lab who Has a lot of hair dropped off him and I’ve used both brushes one made for wooden floors And also used the one with the brushes and I seem like I’m going back after I vacuum one I have to turn around and it seems like it doesn’t pick it all up. I’m just kind of disappointed with the whole thing. Guess I’m gonna have to go back to the cord Vacuum
