Good deal – The Dyson V15 Detect Absolute “5-star” stick vacuum cleaner at €697.99

The arrival of a new Dyson stick vacuum cleaner is always a small event. Will the V15 Detect Absolute equipped with its laser and particle counter make us forget its glorious ancestors? Answer in this complete test!

With its V15 Detect Absolute, Dyson does not create any unpleasant surprises. We can’t fault it for suction, filtration or maintenance; the holy trinity of the stick vacuum cleaner. However, there is a little taste of “could do better”. Of course, it is not always easy to innovate effectively, but the laser is akin to a gadget function and the old “High Torque” intelligent brush ultimately had more or less the same mission as the particle counter, namely adapt the suction power automatically. We would have preferred that Dyson tackle the weight of the device, or its somewhat limited autonomy in Boost mode for our taste.

Strong points

• Suction performance.
• Perfect filtration.
• Simple maintenance.
• Precise autonomy indications.

Weak points

• Device a bit heavy in the long run.
• A bit of a gadget laser.
• Runs out of steam very quickly in Boost mode.

Alternatively

As long as you take the time to choose the suction head corresponding to the surface to be vacuumed, the Dreame R20 fulfills its mission efficiently. In addition, thanks to the high-performance multicyclonic filtration, maintaining the device is child’s play. Certainly, we would have appreciated a boost mode perhaps a little more enduring or an estimate of the remaining autonomy in minutes and seconds rather than in percentage, but that does not at all detract from the excellent impression left by this R20 very successful.
