V12 Detect Slim Absolute Vacuum (Yellow & Nickel)

Great product.

This won’t replace my cylinder Miele, but it comes close. I wanted a quick grab and clean for those spillages, crumbs and so on. My granddaughters are coeliac, and I like to get rid of any crumbs on the furniture or floor before they get here. It’s always a bit of a hag getting a big vacuum out, plugging it in etc. We have fixed this up in a cupboard with the recharge dock, so it’s always ready. I can just about do the whole house, if I want to on a medium power, we live in a mid sized modern detached. But I usually do downstairs, pop it on the charger while I clean the bathrooms, then do upstairs. The ‘laser’ light is a revelation on hard floors, my floor looks perfectly clean till I use the floor brush! As everyone says the canister doesn’t hold a lot. But I just empty it frequently, and charge as needed. ( I do have a Gtech air ram, and the battery on that lasts for days. ) Overall I’m very pleased with it, and I love the on/off button on the top rather than holding a trigger all the time. Very hard work for old hands keeping the trigger in play. This vacuum is light, easy to manoeuvre and change the tools.

I bought the Dyson V12 Detect Slim Absolute (Yellow & Nickel) in June 2023 from Amazon UK, expecting the same long-lasting quality I had with my previous Dyson (V6, which lasted nearly 10 years without any major issues). Unfortunately, after just two years of normal household use, this machine developed a serious fault. It switches off automatically after about 20 seconds of use, repeatedly, before it can be used for only a short time. I contacted Dyson support, but their only solution was to ask me to purchase a new main body and cyclone unit at a cost of £129 – with no guarantee that this would even fix the problem, as the issue could also be the battery or another part. For a product costing over £500, I expected far greater durability and better customer support. Being asked to spend so much more money on “trial and error” repairs after just two years is very disappointing. Dyson is known for innovation and quality, but sadly this experience has shaken my confidence in the brand. A vacuum cleaner at this price point should last much longer without such costly failures.

I gave a lot of thought before buying and which one to buy , I preferred this one as first it has a button and you dont need to keep the trigger pressing while hoovering, its lightweight compared to v15 , everything is good I didn’t mind the small collector dispenser, however dyson need to improve the battery life , as when you do deep clean probably you want have enough time to hoover the whole house this is minus! But the rest i love it , as previously owner of miele I really like this get the hoover done in no time!

Item had no paperwork was scratched and dirty. No guarantee I am returning it very very disappointed

Cleaner is Amazing but laser has stopped working after 2 months . Not good .

I do love a gadget and this Dyson meets that. On the whole it’s good but does struggle with most things. It has a very small opening on the roller which gets blocked every use. We have two dogs and it copes with that like a cat coughing on a fur ball.

Needs to be on Boost to clean carpet properly or to pick up grit. Fine dust clogs it at the drop of a hat and I'm forever washing filters or dealing with the "blocked airways" message. Dyson redesign something that works into something that doesn't work, but costs 3x more. Buy something that works, like a Henry, and save hundreds.

A compact battery powered vacuum cleaner from Dyson which is an improvement in terms of performance and ease of use over the older models. Very pleased with the product.

Absolute best vaccum cleaner ever. It’s so powerful, it has many different parts that you can add to the bottom that are interchangeable for different functions like tiles, carpets, hard floors, rugs, picks up all pet hair like you wouldn’t believe!! Utterly superb. Only small downside is the canister that holds the dirt and dust is quite small so has to be emptied often, but it’s not a big issue.

Très pratique

La batteria dopo pochi mesi non dura piu nulla

Top Akku-Staubsauger! Warum? 1. Kein Kabel 2. Akkulaufzeit im Ökomodus reicht bei uns für über 196 qm (zwei Stockwerke inkl. Podesttreppe). 3. Der Sauger lässt sich sehr leicht reinigen. 4. Der Sauger ist relativ leicht, so dass er nach 50 Minuten in den Händen und Armen immer noch nicht zu schwer wird. 5. Die Aufhängung für den Sauger inkl. Ladestation ist relativ platzsparend und funktionabel. 6. Die Saugleistung ist auch nach 8 Monaten im Betrieb stark durch das Prinzip des "Herausbürstens und dann Einsaugens". Es wird ein Düsenprinzip verwendet, das auf hohe Reinigungsleistung bei geringem Energieverbrauch setzt. 7. Wir haben die Filter bisher noch nicht gewechselt und nur zweimal mit Wasser gereinigt, sonst nur durch Pusten. Das geht einwandfrei. Die Filterpreise sind bei AMAZON auch in Ordnung und fair. 8. Wir hatten vorher für unsere beiden Stockwerke zwei "sehr gute" (teure) Saug-Wischroboter, die ich dann verkauft habe. Der Zeit- und Arbeitsaufwand ist bei diesen Geräten viel zu hoch, zumal sich bei Texturfliesen der Schmutz nach längerer Wischzeit ansammelt und es ein Riesenaufwand ist, diesen wieder zu entfernen. Das merkt man jedoch erst nach einigen Monaten. 9. Fazit: Wir saugen mit dem Dyson und wischen per Hand mit einem Leifheit-Set. Das dauert alles in allem weniger als die Hälfte der Zeit bei vernüftigem Ergebnis. 10. Ganz klare Kaufempfehlung! :-) *****
