Q: Does this come with the same accessories as the Dyson site (2 cleaner heads, hair screw tool, crevice and combination tools, wand clip, docking station, and charger)? I'm not seeing a defined list.

Q: Cordless Dyson V12 shows only a 1Gallon capacity while cordless Dyson V8 shows a 14Gallon capacity, neither mention the actual engine size. Why does the smaller V8 hold more debris than the V12?

A: Hi Kat, this is Kelly with Dyson. The V12 is a Slim model; it's designed to be smaller and more compact than other cord-free machines, so it will have a smaller debris bin. Best wishes, Kelly Dyson Customer Support

I like the machine. My only problem was the laser head did green laser head not working out of the box. Called Dyson. They FaceTime me to see that the laser head didn’t work and there aren’t any in stock. I hope there’s not a problem with this laser head that they can’t keep it in supply.

Just purchase the V12 and can’t say enough about this vacuum. I previously used a corded Hoover for the past 25 years. Not sure why it took me so long to switch to cordless. It is absolutely wonderful.

Bought this approx. 1 month ago. Although easy to use I find that it doesn't pick up the dust & dirt that well. It leaves pieces behind no matter how slowly I go over the spot. For the money, I'm very disappointed
1 reply from Dyson Customer Support team - 9 days ago
Hi Deb, this is Kelly with Dyson. We're glad to hear that you've found the V12 Detect Slim so easy to use. It's disappointing to learn that in your use thus far, you have found that debris is getting left behind. You do have three modes of suction power on this machine. With normal, everyday cleaning, you can usually rely on the lower suction modes to pick up most messes. There are times when you're making more than 1 pass to pick something up, and that's what makes boost mode such a great feature. We would be happy to go over your machine with you, to help ensure it's performing as intended. You can get in touch with us at askdysonUS@dyson.com. Best wishes, Kelly Dyson Customer Support

Received this Dyson as a Christmas gift and I looooooove it! The laser really shows you how much dust and pet hair we have. Only con is this the battery life is only 30 minutes. Other then that no complaints!
Scary Good!

Just received our V12, and it is going to replace a Dyson V11. We LOVE the V11 and have 2 of them in the house, plus a V10...HOWEVER the V12, with the laser is so much better. No trigger, just a push button, auto adjusts the suction, the laser light shows things we thought were clean, were in fact not. Great product!!
PERFECT balance between power and weight

This little guy is amazingly easy to maneuver around obstacles thanks to its light weight. While I could use a little more suction power, I would rather occasionally make another pass rather than carrying 25-50% extra weight all the time!
Never enjoyed vacuuming this much!

Vacuuming has always been one of my least favorite chores, mostly because the vacuums I purchased in the past did a sub-par job. Since purchasing this vacuum I actually enjoy vacuuming! This machine is incredibly powerful. I am an artist, and I also have a dog. The vacuum is able to pick up tiny particles of glitter, stubborn dog hair, and everything in between.
Great vacuum but not perfect.....

I just replaced my corded vac with the V12 and have used it a few times now. Love the laser which shows just how much dust there really is... The build is cool and the accessories click in nicely... One gripe I have is that the bin ejector doesn't do a great job of emptying without reaching in and hand cleaning it out as well.... also, hair are getting past the gasket inside the bin having to be pulled out from the back... having said that, the power is great and the cleaning ability is better than my vac was for sure. Would have liked to see the lighted crevice tool included in this package as it's nearly totally dark using it where the old vacs’ LED lights lit up the crevices perfectly.
Love love love!!

I had high hopes for this vacuum. When it works, it’s great. Love the cordless and bagless. For the price I would expect a vacuum that isn’t constantly claiming to be clogged. I vacuum frequently due to having pets and this vacuum can’t handle daily routes to stay on top of it. In order to vacuum my small downstairs laminate floors, I have to stop and check for a potential clog 3-4 times with nothing physically there. I had to buy compressed air to blow in order to stop the clog signal from triggering.
Love my new vacuum.

I was skeptical of the "laser" but it truly works. Virtually everything about this vacuum is excellent. About the only critique I have is battery life. I average a bit under 30 minutes on a full charge which doesn't always allow me to finishing vacuuming without waiting for a recharge. Other than that, top notch! Well done Dyson.
Game changer

The Dyson V12 is just what I needed. After years of corded vacuums, this machine makes light of housekeeping. The slim is very lightweight. Several attachments included that are easy to interchange. The laser light the the fluffy bare floor attachment lets me see where all debris and dog hair is. My best purchase. Yay Dyson
Amazing Stick Vac

My wife and I bought the V12 Detect Slim for our townhouse and it was the perfect choice! Our home has four smaller levels with primarily hard wood floors so the illuminated head works great; it's amazing how much crud is on your floors that you can't see. For the few rugs and one carpeted area, the motor head works great...love the de-tangilng design. Other touches that make this 5 stars are the light weight and good balance (a big plus for my wife) and it runs quieter than our can vac or even our older Dyson. And, the bundled accessories and wall mount means this model comes with everything you'll need in one box. Despite the significant price point, this vac really brings the value.

The good: It's slim and light and fairly quiet for a vacuum, and it comes with many attachments. The laser fluffy head is very nice, and overall the vacuum does a good job. The not-as-good: Power-heads for the Slim models aren't interchangeable with those from other Dyson stick vacuums. Why not Dyson?? The multi-surface power head doesn't seem to do as good a job on carpet as the carpet head on my Dyson V8. Of course, I can't interchange them to try the carpet head on the V12 Slim, but my impression is that it's not as good. If you have a small living space or don't mind emptying the dust cup frequently, and especially if you have only hard floors, this is a great vacuum. If you have a medium or large space and/or have some carpeting, I suggest considering the V15 over the V12 Slim.

Outstanding! Much more powerful and efficient then my old Dyson V7 Animal Pro, which I really liked! I really like the engineering that went into the V12. I'm an 80 year old widower and Dyson Cordless Vacuums are perfect for me.

I have a whole new outlook on vacuuming. I used to hate it and didn't do it as often as I should have. Dyson has eliminated the hassle of a regular vacuum. No cord, no flexible hose, no canister to drag from room to room. Before it seemed I felt i should vacuum the whole house after going through all the effort to get everything out and hooked up. Now I vacuum when I want and where I want. It's quick and easy. That green laser really shows you the dirt. With 3 dogs in the house I should have gotten one of these years ago.
great suction, small bucket, light wt, expensive

Bought this replace LG Cord Zero. The V12 has 2x longer battery life but only a single battery, the charging dock on the V12 is less elegant, the dust bin is pretty small but still useful and we like the fast-empty feature and finally push-button operation (which most other sticks have had for a while). The laser on the wood floor tool is both cool and useful. Changing attachments is OK but nothing signif better than the LG. The suction is stronger than the LG. The V12 is nice and light and maneuverable, about like the Cord zero and lighter than other Dysons like the V11. Pretty expensive but seems like it'll last a long time so I suppose it was worth it.
