Agree - been testing v12 vs v15 in my large home and for 90% hardwood floors v12 is fine just have to empty it a lot. You can also really feel the extra weight.

Why not the v11?

Glad to help out

Now the Gen5 is on sale with $300 CND off....

You are correct. Only differences is the light blue filters on both the V15 Absolute and Gen5 have more filtration ability down to 1 Micron particle size.

The v12 detect slim absolute also has Hepa and the far better vac.

Excellent choice! I'd go with the V12 if I had no carpet.

I didn't mention in the video.the V12.ran Langer because it doesn't increase suction pm carpet.while the V15 and Gen5.does so these were better than the V12 at debris pick up. Therefore I said the Gen5.was.the best factoring in cleaning performance

Just like the Digital Motorhead was upgraded with Anti-Hair tangle brush first only seen on the V15 release, Dyson is now including it on all the current models. No surprise if Dyson will upgrade all the future lower models with the same light blue higher efficient air filter and brighter laser Soft Roller. This will cut down inventory storage and manufacturing cost for them while benefiting the customer.

On sale where?

Based on all the reviews I saw the only real difference between the V15 and V15 Absolute it only the included finer air filter and everything else is just more attachments on the Absolute model so I am not sure it is worth making a video for it or not.

I ended up buying the v15 absolute detect. I had a hard time deciding between that and the gen5 but from what I could tell the only differences were the on/off button vs trigger , the gen 5 is more powerful(which tests show it doesn't make much of a difference) and the better laser on the head. I could be wrong but they both come with the fluffy optic head now so they may even be the same laser. Either way, I overspent on the holidays and went with the cheaper of the two lol Im 100% satisfied with my purchase@@Jeo-What

@@jamesa8225 I ended up the opposite direction. I exchanged the V15 Detect Total Clean Extra with the GEN5 Defect at Costco due to the discount during the Boxing week that makes only ~$120.00 difference between the two units. With side by side comparison, I am surprised that the GEN5's motor pitch was lower so is easier to my sensitive hearing. I also find the power button, the longer ergonomically shaped handle, longer battery battery weight distribution and the soft hand rest pad design together provided a lot less fatigue and strain to my hand on a regular 15~25min vacuuming routine that included using both floor tools and the build-in dusting & crevice tool even though the motor is ~200g heavier. The convenience of build-in craves top into the wand provides much improved reachable area and confidence. The unit can stand firm now when the Hair Crew Tool or other heavier handheld attachment is connected due to the longer battery design. The total watt hour are about the same but the GEN5 is operating at 36V vs 25.2V so all the power tools like the original Digital Motorbar Head, Soft Roller, Hair Screw, LEDLight Crevice tool & Low Reach Adapter forV7-V15 will no longer work with Gen5's electrical connection; however, the Gen5 power attachments are more powerful due to the new 36V motor especially the Digital Motorbar it vibrates at much stronger rate and suction that I only need to keep the gate fully opened to get the same job done. I am not surprised that Dyson decided to change the voltage as there are so many knock off third-party tools out there flooding the market. I will be looking forward to get the new LED light craves tool and Low Reach adopter for the Gen5 when they become available.

And the v12 detect slim is better than all of them.

Why ? ​@@soonerborn9073

the next generation Dysons (V10, V11, V15, Gen5) are hard to push on carpet if you fully close the gates. The best setting for me is the auto with the gates halfway open. But you can still feel the friction.

😂

Only sale now at Dyson website and some other retailers.

You're overpaying for literally no reason.

@@soonerborn9073of course you say that when you can't afford it. Gen5 is superior to any of the predecessors.

The clips you saw is the first pass, it got everything in the succeeding passes (like five or six). Also, some of it are stains during the early days of testing cordless vacuums where I would rub the coffee grounds on the carpet. Not picking up everything in the initial passes is an issue with the newer Dyson brush roll since it doesn't have the same seal as the older V8 nozzle. But I understand why Dyson made the change - to improve the seal on carpet.

What do you like about the Dreame R20

No hepa for v12, but you can say that because nobody can stop you. Problem is, there may be others that might follow your stupid advice.

Thanks for the tip. Constantly trying to improve.
