Best Vacuume
The Dyson Gen5detect is hands down the best vacuum I’ve ever owned. I’ve been using Dyson vacuums for more than 30 years — two corded models and one cordless — and this is my fourth Dyson overall. It’s by far the most impressive. The Gen5detect is incredibly easy to use and has huge power. Our home is large, with carpet upstairs and hard floors downstairs, and it handles the entire place on a single charge without any trouble. I initially thought the particle‑counting feature was a bit over-the-top and nerdy, but I’ve grown to love it. On the first run it detected over a billion particles; now the count is down to around 64 million or less, which is oddly satisfying to watch. The auto‑suction adjustment is brilliant. It responds instantly to the floor surface and the amount of dust, and when it hits a patch that needs extra power, it ramps up and pulls everything out. A great example: we have a long‑haired cat who loves rolling on the mat under the table, leaving hair embedded in the fibres. After vacuuming with the Gen5detect, 100% of it is gone. I even went over the area with a brush to check — absolutely nothing left. It’s also noticeably quieter — at least 75% quieter than our old corded Dyson. Yes, it’s an expensive vacuum, but it’s absolutely worth it.

Fantastic Device
Dyson Gen5Detect Review – 100% Satisfaction Factor The Dyson Gen5Detect has completely exceeded my expectations and delivers a true 100% satisfaction factor across every aspect of performance. Suction is nothing short of outstanding. It effortlessly lifts fine dust, pet hair, and larger debris from both hard floors and carpets, leaving surfaces visibly cleaner after a single pass. The power feels consistent and uncompromising, even during longer cleaning sessions. Filtration is equally impressive. The advanced system captures microscopic particles and allergens with ease, noticeably improving air quality while cleaning. It gives real peace of mind knowing that dust isn’t being pushed back into the room. From an Ergonomics standpoint, the Gen5Detect is exceptionally well designed. The balance, grip, and controls make it comfortable to use, even when cleaning for extended periods or reaching awkward areas like stairs and ceilings. The Battery performance is excellent and reliable. It delivers strong, sustained power throughout the entire cleaning cycle without sudden drops, making it easy to clean the whole home on a single charge. Finally, Maneuverability is where this vacuum truly shines. It glides smoothly around furniture, corners, and tight spaces with minimal effort, making everyday cleaning quicker and far less tiring. Overall, the Dyson Gen5Detect sets a new standard. With top‑tier Suction, advanced Filtration, smart Ergonomics, dependable Battery life, and exceptional Maneuverability, it earns a well‑deserved 100% satisfaction factor.

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.

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 - 7 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.

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.
