Nice
This generation is quiet, which I can appreciate!! However the bin must be emptied after each room. My last one could vacuum 2-3 rooms without having to empty. I would love to see magnetic attachments since the buttons were what broke with my last vacuum.

Useless on carpet, great on hard floor
very disappointed after purchase that i found out that it is useless on carpet, it keeps bogging down even on echo setting. It is quite heavy compared to my old Dyson V6. So happy I kept my old Hoover vacuum for the carpet. It is absolutely brilliant on hard floors, love the green light.

Easy handling, all good except the boost vacuum function. When you use the boost function it is super noisy and run out of battery in only 15 minutes, while total charging time is more than 3 hour and a half.

Powerful Tool
I purchased the Gen5 Detect last month, and as always, Dyson never fails to impress. On the positive side, I love being able to see the battery usage and the amount of dirt collected displayed on the screen. I’m also really enjoying the hard floor attachment—the green light is excellent at spotting pet hair and genuinely makes you want to vacuum every time. On the downside, the unit is quite heavy. With the Digital Motorbar attachment, I find the rubber strip on the other side annoying and makes it challenging to push the unit back and forth. The machine would also feel lighter if the dusting and crevice tools were separate attachments rather than built into the same stick. When not in use, it tends to get dirty since it’s always exposed. My opinions are based on having previously owned a Dyson V11. Despite these minor drawbacks, I’m still a fan overall. Dyson works really well for us, especially since we have pets.

Great vacuum
We bought this Dyson vacuum a month ago to replace our V8 model, as it was not enough powerful. I love Gen5Detect. It is powerful, has all the attachments I need and a standing accessories stand, which is important as I didn't want to screw anything to the wall. It is a bit heavy, but I understand that the engine should be more powerful to clean that good. I am still to figure out how to deal with the bedroom carpet - it is very fluffy and the vacuum stops after 30 seconds of roaring, can't go forward. All other short carpets are fine. Overall, I'm very happy with the purchase.

Dyson gen 5
I bought the Dyson gen5 a few weeks ago. Absolutely love it. The green light ensures you are not missing any stray pet hairs. The suction is amazing. It is lite weight enough that my 6, 8 and 10 year old can use it without difficulty. The attachments are so easy to use. No fumbling to add for the small crevice just remove the vacuum head with a click of a button. My 8 year old said its too noisy when its on the highest setting. The only downside is the battery life. I wish it could last longer. I have a 3000 sq ft house and I have to recharge it once I finish one floor before starting on the second floor. If I use the highest suction power I can't finish my upstairs before the battery needs to be recharged.

Very impressed
I am very happy with this purchase. I was sceptical about stick vacuums having only used the Dyson ball vacuum for years (which is great also). The laser light that shows up all the dust/dirt is amazing - I can easily see where I may have missed. I do prefer my previous ball Dyson for getting dirt out of corners but all in all - its fantastic. I start vacuuming 1 room and end up doing the whole house as its so quick and easy to use.

Very happy with my Gen5 Detect Absolute vacuum
I bought a Dyson SV23 Gen5 Detect Absolute during the Black Friday sales, bundled with a detail cleaning kit, at well below 50% of the combined recommended retail price. At that price, it was a bargain - a premium stick vacuum at the usual cost of an average machine. I've been very impressed with its suction power and performance, especially on carpet. Upgrading from a 15½ year old Dyson DC23 canister model (which still works fine but just doesn't match the performance of modern cordless models). I'm also very happy with its manoeuvrability, even though it's one of the heavier stick vacuums out there. My only criticism is the poorly designed mechanism used to clip the mounting bracket of the wall dock into its backing plate - it goes on just fine, but if you ever need to remove the dock (eg. moving it to different room or another home) it takes way too much force to push the plastic tangs back over the plastic lugs. All of this is completely inaccessible after you have mounted the dock onto the wall. I read about this problem on the web before purchase, so I was able to fix the problem by filing 1 or 2 mm of plastic off each of the two lugs before mounting the dock. This shouldn't be necessary when you purchase a premium vac.

Overall very happy
Have been using our Gen5 for a couple of months. We did a fair amount of research before we made our purchase. Performance wise it is fantastic, manoeuvrability is also exceptional. The battery life is about 30 minutes but it does take at least 3 hours to fully recharge which is not really a problem. It is very easy to empty and overall we are very happy with our choice. The only comment I would make is that we find it a bit heavy when vacuuming carpet and when we use an attachment, it is heavy to hold. I should add this did not come as a surprise as we knew this when testing the machine at the retailer, and we still bought it because of the superior performance compared to it's competitors.

Doesn’t knock my socks off for the price
When I ordered this vacuum I thought I ordered the v15? I don’t understand how I made a mistake but this one came and I used it. The positive is I love the light to see the dust you don’t otherwise see, scary…lol It’s pretty light, no button to hold while I vacuum everywhere. And as I have arthritis essential for me. Looks nice not that that’s a selling point to me, but it never hurts, it leaves my carpets with ice lines lol Negative… expensive, you have to change heads from hard floor to carpets, and that is hard as my fingers are twisting and it’s not easy for me. It doesn’t sterilise like the V15 which was what I wanted… Overall if I was going to buy again, I wouldn’t go with this model. That’s me personally..

Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the Dyson Gen5detect Absolute (Iron/Purple).

We are sorry to learn that changing the cleaner heads has been difficult and that the model did not meet your expectations compared with the V15.

A difference you can see
We bought this in the Black Friday sales. The light is both helpful and disturbing at the same time - good to see the difference the vacuum makes. Prefer the option of a ‘trigger’ power button as enables you to vacuum one handed. Sometimes it still pushes items around the floor rather than vacuuming.
