Vacuum cleaners have now become real high-tech devices. A good example of this is the V15 Absolute Extra, also produced by Dyson. However, for those who find all the sensors and displays rather superfluous toys, they should probably feel more comfortable with the Dyson V12 Slim, because the V12 Slim is downright a purist among cordless vacuum cleaners: this variant offers much more than an on/off switch and three suction levels Not. In addition, the cordless vacuum cleaner is relatively light. Dust pickup is good overall, but can’t keep up with the larger Dyson models. A real weak point is the battery, which only lasts around eight minutes at maximum power. After all: At the lowest power, the Dyson V12 Slim Absolute manages almost an hour. The charging time is about three hours.
Our conclusion at the time of testing:
“In the test, the Dyson V12 Slim Absolute proved to be a good, if not outstanding, offshoot of the well-known vacuum cleaner manufacturer. Weighing only 1.4 kg in the hand, it is one of the lighter, top-heavy vacuum cleaners. What it gains in handling, it pays for itself compared to other Dyson vacuum cleaners, it has a bit of suction power and features. It’s just as loud and only a little cheaper than its ‘big’ siblings.”
