Does not work on carpet
Great on hardwood and tile, but does not work on carpets, not even flat weave ruggable carpets. No suction and the roller stops. I'm returning this item.

Great modern unit, do find it a challenge to get use of the design and weight of the main unit compared to our old V10.

Great on tiles but not on my carpet
I received the Dyson 3 weeks ago and was excited to use it. Sleek design and lightweight. It works great on my tiles however the roller head for the carpet does not work, even when I put it on Eco mode it just gets stuck. That is really disappointing for the price. I explored the troubleshoot options but nothing. It will work on a tile surface no problem but not on my carpet, I have to used my old Dyson for that and it’s really annoying.

Thank you for your review. We're pleased to hear you’re enjoying the design and performance on hard floors, and we appreciate you sharing your experience with the carpet head. Feedback like yours is incredibly valuable as it helps us continue refining our technology.

Purchased a few weeks ago, great machine. Its just a little heavier than our previous Dyson otherwise it's great. The suction on this is far superior to Dyson Animal model we had last time.

Would recommend.
Loving this vacuum. With a dog that sheds tons, the laser was quite the eye opener. We have light tile and I had no idea how dirty the floors were. It’s much easier to pull this out and do a quick pass on the daily.
1 reply from Dyson Customer Service team - 6 days ago
Hello there, thank you for sharing your experience! It’s always eye-opening what the laser reveals, especially on light tile, where dust and fur can hide in plain sight. Sounds like your daily routine just got a lot easier, and your floors are loving it too. Thank you for being a Dyson owner.

So happy I decided to make this purchase. The laser assist alone is so helpful for finding way more debris than any other vacuum I've had. It cuts down my cleaning time by an hour at least

Great mover!
I bought the Gen5detect vacuum recntly and have found it an excellent machine. It is able to get to the edges in a way my upright cleaner could not and the handle manouverability is great, folding almost to the floor to get under furniture. I was also able to clean a 3 bedroom flat without losing any power. Very pleased with this purchase.

Average vacuum, doesn’t justify the cost
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.

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.
1 reply from Dyson Customer Service team - 17 days ago
We’re delighted you made the leap from V8 to Gen5 and are enjoying superior performance, balance, and cleaning on every surface. The constant discovery of how much more can be picked up, backed by robust battery and advanced filtration, shows our technology is working just as intended. Your satisfaction and recommendation inspire our ongoing innovation.

Don’t buy it
Bought this unit to replace our Dyson of five years — a machine that worked reliably and never gave us any real issues — and I’m honestly shocked at the drop in quality and support. This model is marketed as top of the line, yet it doesn’t function properly on carpet. When I contacted Dyson’s troubleshooting team, the solution offered was that I should replace my carpet not the unit. That response was incredibly disappointing, especially given the price point. After spending this much on a premium product, I expected performance and accountability. Instead, I’m seeing widespread reports online of the exact same issue, with no meaningful resolution from Dyson. For a brand positioned as best-in-class, this experience has been extremely frustrating.
