Why the DYSON Gen5 Detect is EXPENSIVE - Tests, Compare, Review

I have deep respect for you because you are the only one who says that the suction power is on Boost Mode only. Which is bad for the battery and is not the setting one would use it on when doing normal day to day cleaning. I throughly enjoyed your video.

I’ve had a v15 for nearly 3 years. Using it on ECO with the gates on the floorhead closed vs auto mode has nearly no difference in carpet performance. I pick up no more fine dirt and debris when using either mode. Boost mode is something I’ve probably used half a dozen times in the years I’ve had mine. It shows how well engineered the floorhead design is and efficiency of the vacuum that it doesn’t rely on absolute raw suction. I’m incredibly happy with mine.

The depth of knowledge and effort going into this video is substantial, great job and thank you.

Best review I've watched in a long time. And I watch a lot of reviews.

Excellent work! I’ve been second guessing my v12 slim and thanks to your video I can stop stressing about returning it in time. I like that it has on on button, I would never ever buy a trigger one. I’ve had multiple hand surgeries, my hands are weak and extremely painful but I can use this okay. I don’t like how small the bin is but to have it lightweight I will empty it more. I have long hair and it’s great that it doesn’t get wrapped up around the beater bar however it’s a pain in the but to empty the bin because the hair is so wrapped up in there. I have to use a chopstick to get the hair unwound and out. Otherwise I’m pretty happy with it. I’ve watched a ton of videos and I found your to be the most helpful. Thank you!

By far the best review on Dyson!!! Thanks for explaining things and making it easy to understand what we’re getting!! You’re the best!

Excellent review as explaining the pro’s and con’s of each unit. I have my original yellow ball Dyson from the year 2005 and it’s still running like a beast. I broke a piece on the neck of the upright but it still turns on and off. With a few zip ties to hold it in place I decided today was the day to upgrade. Just purchased the Dyson Gen5outsize Absolute and came to YouTube for more reviews. Should arrive Saturday and looking forward to seeing it in action. I know many people are turned off with the price but having a vacuum for almost 20 years and still working says a lot about the brand of Dyson. If you can afford it, Dyson is the route to go.

Thanks for the review love your video.

Great review, thank you!

Thanks for the review. It is great video. I have a question for you. Does Gen5 and v12 work with the same suction power in eco mode? So one is 262 air watts and the other is 150 air watts. Is this difference only felt in boost mode?

This is your best video. Keep it up David!

Which one would you recommend for a hard floor house with a pet, I have a rabbit who likes to free roam and loses a lot of hair during shedding season and the hay is getting everywhere... I was looking at the V11 or V15.

The best review ever thank u❤

Great review. I'm debating between the Gen5 and the V12 Slim. You mentioned that attachments for the Gen5 are not backwards compatible. Does this mean that the various attachments that are out, such as the fine dusting brush, will not fit the Gen5?

I was quite happy with even my V6 until recently. Just switched to Gen5 and I recommend it for people with severe allergies (ours is mites). The powerful suction is really helping us and I use the boost mode on mattresses, sofas etc.

I started appreciating the dyson particle counting, coz I was detected to be highly sensitive to dust mite that's cause severe adoptic dermatitis problem to me. So it does help me understand is my effort of cleaning regularly work well for me or not... *provided the particle counting is accurate...

It’s almost end of Feb on Sunday. I bought it on a whim from qvc for not too bad a price. They take out about $100 a month out of my checking account. It’s heavy. I’m 75 years old with arthritis and holding down the button is hard. But on the other hand good exercise. Thanks for your help. I need help in knowing what pieces to use where!

Hello - Have you experienced on V15 or V15 Gen5 using boost mode with the gates completely closed the motor bar slows down or even stops on carpet? Thank You

Best review out there of gen5detect compared to others. Agreed the V12 is the one to beat.

Thanks for this honest review! We had the opportunity to test the Gen5Detect in local Market near us, ITs really cool and works well, but I totally agree with you its way overpriced! Dyson makes the best cyclonic separators regarding filtration performance. Nevertheless the price is too high. Also they should really improve their build quality regarding plastics and connection clearances etc. Regarding overall build quality I would say Vorwerk is way ahaed. Maybe a self emptying station is a must have for this high price! I think you should not have to clean your vacuum if spending more than 900€
