Absolutely fantastic machine!
Holy cow this is quite an upgrade from the V15, which I thought would be a heavy lift, but they did it again. Super powerful and I love the new design with the attachments built into the main wand. Great idea! It's a bit heavier than the previous model, but that doesn't bother me. I also like how there's no more trigger that you need to constantly press while vacuuming, which I got used to, but these controls are better. It looks better, it feels better, and the hard surface roller with the laser works even better than on the V15. It's brighter so you can really spot the debris on the floor better. About the same loudness, the battery lasts way longer than we need, even when we vacuum the entire house at once. Plus, I am big on air filtration and I really appreciate the HEPA filter. Great job, Dyson! But where on earth can you go from here??

The vacuum itself is good but as it is a little heavier the mounting bracket to wall is insufficient for weight. The mounting plate could not be removed and required Dyson to send replacement within the 1st week. This is really not good enough for an expensive vacuum cleaner and expect better engineering for basics

Thank you for your review! We’re glad the vacuum is performing well for you, and we appreciate you sharing your experience with the mounting bracket and replacement process. Your feedback helps highlight where improvements matter most.

Worth it - 5⭐
Every bit as good as I had heard. The suction is amazing. I really can't believe it is battery powered. The Dyson goes toe to toe with plug in vacuums. I was also impressed with how quiet this vacuum is. The hard floor attachment is actually very good at picking everything up and the laser light in which I originally thought was kind of gimmicky is actually very helpful if not almost fun. I also didn't think the technology to stop the hair from tangling around the beater bar would really work, but I have to admit, I almost get NO hair wrapped around the bar. Very impressive. Last I thought the vacuum was a little pricey but I waited until black Friday and saved hundreds, therefore bringing the price and value in line with each other. After a couple weeks of use now I am very happy I bought this remarkable vacuum. 5⭐

Powerful machine
Very happy with the Dyson Gen5detect Absolute. We purchased to replace our old Dyson handheld machine. Massive difference. The battery life on auto mode is fantastic, about 45 minutes. The display on the machine tells you everything you need to know and is easy to navigate. Suction is really good and is adjustable however we mainly leave it on auto and let the machine choose the suction based on the dirt it is sucking up. We also have a standard corded Dyson machine and to be honest this machine replaces that. I can't really see us using the corded machine. It is quite a bit heavier than the older cordless machines so if you are weak or elderly it could be an issue. The provided attachments are useful and you can also buy extras however the ones provided should be sufficient which includes a carpet head, hair head and a couple of others. Despite the extra weight, maneuverability is good and the air coming from the machine is clean with the filtration. All in all I highly recommend it.

Unmatched Cleaning Power with Smart Technology
The Dyson Gen5detect is incredible. Powerful suction, impressive battery life, and the laser head reveals dust you’d otherwise miss. Lightweight, easy to use, and brilliantly engineered. It genuinely leaves floors spotless and feels like a premium product in every way. Worth the investment.

Brilliantly designed machine.
The advancement of the machine compared to my old V8 is incredible. The machine is quieter, easier to move around, the green light that shows the floor in front of the machine is such a great innovation. Attachments are well thought out in how they are stored. The battery life is so much longer and the digital screen is easy to use. Love not having to hold a button while vacuuming. Would definitely recommend this machine to my friends and family. The bin is easy to use.

Great suction
I have had the Dyson for a couple of weeks now and I love the suction strength. A seemingly clean carpet produced a full Canister of dust. Amazing! The only thing I am not keen on is the Infrared light on the hardwood floor attachment. Would love to turn it off but that feature doesn’t seem to be available.

Great vacuum that makes vacuuming fun!
I haven't had a chance to even try this because my kids have taken over vacuuming! Very clever to have a particle count - that makes vacuuming a game! The word is that it works like wonders. We love all the attachments. The only issue is the battery life - will need to get a second one.
