Frequently Asked Questions
How effective is the laser dust detection feature?
The laser dust detection is remarkably effective at revealing fine dust particles that are typically invisible to the naked eye, especially on hard floors. It works best in low-light conditions and can help you ensure you're not missing spots during cleaning. It's particularly useful for homes with allergy sufferers.
Is the Dyson V15 Detect good for pet hair?
Yes, the V15 Detect excels at picking up pet hair thanks to its powerful suction and the specialized Hair Screw Tool, which is designed to prevent hair tangling. During our tests, it removed pet hair from carpets, upholstery, and hard floors with excellent efficiency.
Can I buy replacement batteries for the V15 Detect?
Yes, Dyson offers replacement batteries for the V15 Detect. The battery is user-replaceable, making it easy to swap out when needed or to purchase an additional battery for extended cleaning sessions.
How does the V15 Detect compare to the V11?
The V15 Detect offers several advantages over the V11, including the laser dust detection technology, particle counting piezo sensor, and improved anti-tangle technology. It also has slightly more powerful suction. However, the V11 is lighter and less expensive, so your choice may depend on whether these new features justify the price difference for your needs.
