Disappointing Gen 5
Not as pleased as i was expecting, you can only use the economy mode on carpets as the motor head stops if you use anything else, It’s not then picking up the amount of particles as it would if you use the more powerful mode and it shows you that. My model v10 was better

Thank you for sharing your honest feedback. We’re sorry to hear your experience with the Gen5detect Absolute hasn’t met your expectations, especially compared to your V10. The motorised head is designed to work best on standard and boost modes for deep cleaning carpets, while Eco mode prioritises battery life but may pick up less debris.

New Dyson
This is my fourth Dyson cordless vacuum. Gen5detect really does detect what kind of flooring I am cleaning. Battery life is great. Much quieter than my v11 outsize. Have to get use to the on/ off button. Suction is great for my fur babies fur.

A great model for pet owners
Works beautifully. Such a step up from the model we had that did not adiquately clean up all the pet hair. I particulary love the lighted wand used to clean the uncarpeted floors.

Addicted to vaccumming
I bought this a few weeks ago, and now am addicted to vaccuming. It has given me and my husband the motivation to vaccuum every day. The light makes it easy to see where you have missed and my house feels much cleaner. Only regret is I didn't get sooner. If there was a new one to come out - I'd love to see the light added to the hand held smaller attachments.

Perfect and does what it says!!
I have 2 Border Collies that shed like it is snowing. The Animal works great but is a pain for quick clean ups. This is perfect in size, weight and it really sucks! Other brands I have tried, but could not get the hair off the rug completely, no matter how many passes I made. This one takes only 1 or 2 passes and done!! YAY, another Dyson product that works exactly as stated!

Thanks for the wonderful review. Pet hair is no joke, so hearing that your Dyson cleaner is handling it in just a pass or two is music to our ears. We’re thrilled it’s hitting the mark for you.

Best in It’s Class
Purchased the Dyson Gen5detect Absolute on May 10 2026 and am very impressed - excellent suction, lots of power and much better battery life than older V6 that we owned. Included Fluffy Optic Cleaning Head is perfect for hardwood and tile floors. Noise level is much better and disposal of dust is simple. Overall, very satisfied with the product.

Dyson Gen5 is Great
I bought the Dyson Gen5Detect a few weeks ago and I LOVE it! It shows the dirt/dust as you pick it up. I especially like the On/Off switch rather than a trigger you have to press the entire time you are using the vacuum. Since the vacuum is heavy the switch is definitely more comfortable. It is a wonderful product and worth the money. It’s not noisy. Excellent suction and filtration. I would buy again.

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 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.

Thank you for sharing this. We’re thrilled that the suction and battery life are hitting the mark for you, and we appreciate your note about the swivel and weight balance — that’s helpful feedback for our teams.
