What Customers Are Saying

Customers overwhelmingly praise the vacuum for its exceptional suction power, innovative green laser dust-detection feature, and user-friendly design. Most highlight superior dirt and pet hair removal, with many noting the laser reveals microscopic debris previously invisible. The automatic power adjustment, easy emptying, and comprehensive attachments enhance convenience. However, some report the vacuum feels heavy during extended handheld use, and battery life varies—certain users find it insufficient for multiple floors or non-eco modes. A few experience shutdowns on specific rugs. Despite these drawbacks, most customers consider it an excellent cleaning investment.

Gen5outsize vs V15

Would Not Recommend

This Gen5outsize appears to have less suction than my V15. I now understand why Dyson does not offer a wider laser fluffy cleaner head. I don’t mind the added weight, two batteries, larger bin and the on/off trigger, which are better on the outsize than the V15’s finger trigger. Be careful on the description saying the cleaner head is 25% wider, which does not apply to the laser fluffy cleaner head. Both models are the same width. Noise is not an issue. Both are easy to empty. I would highly re...

Average vacuum, doesn’t justify the cost

Would Not Recommend

It’s very quiet and easy to handle. It lights the area very well and it’s long enough to accommodate my height. The battery life is average to short. The suction is average to poor on a hardwood floor, particularly when trying to pick up small items like sand or cat litter. It requires the deeper suction selection, which depletes the battery more quickly. It does not pick up short cat hair well.

Worth the cost compared to cheaper rivals

Would Recommend

Compared to the previous generation top-of-the-line model the suction is more powerful and, with the wide cleaner head, gets the job done fast. The fluffy optic cleaner head with its laser is genius at helping to spot and pick up debris and pet hair on hard floors. The powered hand brush is great at getting pet hair off furniture. Battery life is impressive and having two batteries for extended use is a plus. Be aware that tools and batteries from previous generation Dyson vacs may not fit the n...

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.

My OCD is now in overdrive with clean floors.

Would Recommend

I have now had this vacuum for two weeks. I have four dogs so there is lots of hair. The green light on the soft roller head for hard floors has now made me extremely OCD. I thought my floors were clean until I used this. Battery is long lasting for my 2000 sq ft home. Suction is extremely good. This is my third Dyson vacuum (one corded and now two cordless). I moved my old cordless to our RV. All are still in working order but just used in different aspects. This new cordless blows my old one a...

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.
