06:30 Vacuum Wars' Verdict

On the rare occasion that Vacuum Wars does a sponsored video or receives a product from a manufacturer to review, we will be clear about that in the video. Otherwise, if nothing was mentioned, then this was an unsponsored review.

Just a heads up for anyone that owns, or is thinking about owning a Dyson: it’s very important to empty the bin as soon as the dirt reaches the “Max” level, even if there’s space on the other sides. The cyclonic filtration system requires the space above the “Max” line to function, and neglecting to empty the bin once it reaches that level can actually affect the long term longevity of the vacuum and HEPA filter.

Your method and process is literally the best reviews I’ve seen online. It’s honest data mixed with experience from the field. It’s just so clear, that I’m only buying vacuums after seeing you review them. Kudos!!

Bought this one a couple of months ago and we are so happy with it! It really is powerful, nothing tangles in the heads and the easiness of use + the lightness are a cherry on the top of it all. Love it.

[azharbassardien]

One thing you didn’t mention that I personally wished Dyson had brought earlier to their handhelds is that there’s an on/off button and no longer trigger activated, it really makes using this a breeze

[famtsla]

Me and my wife love this vacuum. We thought the green light was a gimmick, but it actually works so good showing all the dog and cat hair lol.

[zohalabdurahman]

I just got mine yesterday and oh my god!!!
I have NOT been vacuuming these years!!
Love love love this vacuum!!!

[XxsoonerbornxX]

This is still without a doubt Dyson's best stick vac. Period. Lightweight. On/Off button. Smart display. Smart modes. Has the laser. Once again, LIGHTWEIGHT. My wife and I both love this thing, her especially because she can actually use it for more than 5 minutes without her arm aching like the ridiculously heavy models after this. On sale you can grab this thing for sub $500 and that is a steal.

This combined with their standard canister vac is the perfect combo.

I just got one, The v12 detect slim fluffy and I am already loving it! It’s a hit heavy and tall for me when I use the adjustable attachment since I’m 4’11 and petite but workable. I enjoy lazer feature and seems fun to clean and use all around. I was supposed to just buy the Digital Slim Fluffy but was advised to this one instead! Glad to have switched last minute!

This channel is easily the best source for impartial reviews if you're buying a new vacuum.
One thing I'd love to see added though, is a decibel test, which measures the vacuums noise at the different power levels.
This could include all the Dyson, RugDoctor and Bissell machines. This would be so useful, thanks

Thank you for another great review We watched and ended up with a new V12 Detect Slim Fluffy 2 days ago.. Our V11’s trigger button stopped functioning last week (after 2.5yrs).

Our personal opinion is the V12 is so much better in terms of :
1) no more trigger (the V11 trigger stopped working after 2.5yrs). It was a pain having to press the trigger all the time. Now it’s just an on and off switch which is great. Less tiring and it’s easier to grip the handle without the trigger.
2) the screen showing the different modes and particles pick up is cool
3) the laser light is fantastic esp when used at night. Really shows up all the dust that we may miss. It illuminates and the greenlight is pleasing to the eye.
4) Much easier to manoeuvre because of the lighter weight when compared to the V11.
5) Suction power is still the same.
6) The battery is easy to change if needed.
With the V11, inorder to repair the trigger, they had to change alot of parts. That’s why we decided to get the V12 Detect Slim Fluffy (we don’t have carpets).

The smaller dust bin is not an issue for us as we live in a moderate size apartment. We empty the bin after each cleaning rather than accumulate. There was some instruction to let the previous V11 machine cool down before charging to let the battery last longer - so we decided to do the same for the V12.

Frankly, if one has a V11 and it’s still working well, I don’t think there is a need to upgrade to the V12 if you have no issues with the weight or the trigger of the V11.

Hey, fantastic video as always. Have been using this in India for the past 6 months, and thoroughly impressed by it. Use it in a 3 BHK apartment it works like a charm. And coz of the size, it’s perfect for dusting places other than floors. This is my first Dyson ever, and am thoroughly impressed not only by their products but by their customer care as well. Also, what I like as compared to the other Dyson’s in the shop was the ‘RED BUTTON’. Tried using the trigger mechanism in the shops and did not like the experience. With the button it’s far more convenient. It’s a small thing but greatly impacts the usability of it. All in all I highly-highly recommend this product to anyone living in an apartments. It’s brilliant!

And thank you VACCUME WARS for making such brilliant videos. It was your video which also convinced me to purchase a Deebot T8 with an Auto Emptying Bin. The Deebot along with the DYSON is absolutely insane. Greetings from India 🇮🇳

I'm still useing my Dyson V6 I got at goodwill for 12 dollars with a third party battery. These vacuums are just so usefull if you live in a small space!

[FanOfVacuums]

I personally like the bigger ones like the V15 and Outsize, but I like that they offer a slim version for people who have a preference against the size of those units. The numbers are impressive too! It is crazy that suction and airflow numbers on these cordless units are starting to rival corded units. If I had money, I would buy one.

[helenjohnson]

Absolutely! Following the simple instructions is a problem for many people these days! I (usually) run my Dyson V6 Absolutes around once or twice a day and that keeps things nicer as well as making vacuuming an easier chore! Empty every time and vacuum out the bins with a Dyson upright.

[randomdriver]

I'm glad you managed to get one to test. I actually ended up buying one myself once I saw how it performs. I really like it.

[MrFowl]

Yeahhh!
Thanks mate! Much appreciated. I picked this up a week ago and it's been fantastic...except the bin really is real small. I have to empty it twice before the battery runs out. Not too big a deal though, takes 30 seconds.

[poloboy]

ahhh finally this reached the US shores. There was a “v11 style” version released almost 2 years ago in Singapore, and I was almost in the process of ordering one. Glad we have the same version now here

[rlg]

I finally picked up the V12 and I love it! It's expensive but worth the money. I have a male husky and hardwood floors and the attached worked really good! You can see where you missed and how much is there by the laser. I was tired of dragging out my have Kirby vacuum upright I've used for over 25 years.

[edwardlis]

We have owned and still own several Dyson products. I can’t explain the level of frustration we are experience with Dyson Support in resolving a problem with our V12. In less than a year the Motorbar cleaner head is inoperable and doesn’t work. So far we have been sent two replacement cleaner heads. Both were the wrong heads. It’s has been such a time consuming experience, with any resolution in sight. We are looking into unloading and selling all of our Dyson purchases and will tell everyone we know to reconsider their own purchases.

[aaronraley]

I’ve had the v12 slim for about a week. Dyson sells all the replacement parts except for the wand. So if you switch out the heads often (I have a mix of floor types), it can get a bit tiresome to flip the vacuum over and fiddle with the swap. A second wand would make the change outs a lot easier. Other than that I’m really happy with it.
