  • Dyson's greatest engineering feat in vacuum technology
Style: Gen5outsize
Dyson's Gen5 is their crowning achievement in vacuum design and efficiency. I own other Dyson vacuums including roller ball and the V-15 (upstairs) which is a runner up to the Gen5 (donwnstairs). We have two large double coat dogs that shed like a cottonwood tree. I have always wanted a cordless vacuum to compete with my Miele corded canister vacuum (I hate cords). I bought a Lupe cordless (now out of business) which I thought was really good. I researched and first bought the Dyson V-15, what a great vacuum which blew me away on power and especially the laser light vacuum head for the floors, but hated to keep constant pressure on trigger switch. If you have babies crawling around, own a dog/cat, have a wood burning stove, etc., you absolutely have to get a Gen5 or V-15 with the laser head. You are going to hate these laser head units at first, because it shows every spec of dust, every dog/cat hair, basically everything imaginable that needs vacuuming. Then you quickly begin to love it because you can see everything that doesn't belong on the floor disappear making you feel super confidently and clean (the big vacuums leave stuff behind but you can't see it). Gen5 is superior in many ways to the v-15 - more powerful, has larger capacity tank, weighs a little more, but it has a on off push button switch (which is why I bought the Gen5), where the V-15 you have to pull trigger to keep it running and get finger cramp after a while (Dyson should design a trigger lock on the V-15). Gen5 is HEPA filtered, it has larger rug head and I can't believe how efficient the rug brush is. Sorry Miele but on G5 on Eco power cleans dog hair off rugs in one stroke (my powerful corded canister vacuum can't do that), no need for higher power. As an engineer I can only say, this is Dyson's crowning jewel vacuum, I had no idea they were that efficient, powerful, easy to handle. My only criticism I have for these two Dyson's models is the batteries which are 3600 mAh, a little mediocre for me, but will last about 20 min on medium power. First thing I did is buy high capacity after market 8500 mAh batteries that will almost triple the run time as I like to vacuum fast on high power, albeit not necessary, with these machines. You will love the better Gen5, but V-15 is amazing as well if you just have a small apartment. ... show more

  • Dyson is getting better and better
Style: Gen5detect
In June, 2024 I purchased a Gen5detect to replace my five year old V8. The Gen5 was expensive, but it was on sale on Amazon so I girded my lions and closed my eyes as I hit the “Proceed to Checkout” button. I am a 78 year old 4” 11” woman and my large Dyson Animal was getting just a little too heavy to use everyday. Boy what a difference! I use the Gen5 almost every single day, and love it. The Gen5 is quieter; smother and easier to handle; love the Fluffy Optic Cleaner Head, light sees every speck of dust; and love the On/Off button as opposed to the “dead man’s switch” on their other products I have owned. Easier on the hands. In Sept the ball wheels on the side of the Digital Motorbar Clean Head came off. I found replacements on Amazon, but from the looks of the part they may or may not fit the Gen5 although the description says they would. Looked like the axel on the part was broken. Went back onto Amazon and read the reviews and found several customers reporting this issue. I Logged onto the Dyson website and Chatted with a Customer Service Rep. Asked me whether or not the parts on Amazon would indeed fit the Gen5. Told the Customer Service Rep (Harpreet K) my story and asked whether it was common for the Motorbar Cleaner Head to break, and would the Amazon part fix the issue. He asked for pics of the damage. When he came back into the Chat, he validated that the part was only three months old, and indicated there was no need for me to order the replacement wheels from Amazon. He had gotten approval from his manager to send me a new Digital Motorbar to replace the broken one. GREAT! Said the part was out of stock, but as soon as it was replenished, I would receive an Email and could call Customer Service to have the new Motorbars sent to me. Waited for three weeks, and when I did not hear from Dyson, logged onto Customer Service again and chatted with another Dyson Colleague. Gave him the Cast Number given by Harpreet and asked when I could expect the new Motorbar to be in stock? The Customer Service Rep said they did not know when the part would be back in stock, and not to worry because Dyson will be replacing the product in its entirety. What! Dyson will send me a new Gen5Detect? Yes. Please box up the old vac and all its parts (Do I have a box? Yes…) and use the UPS Label in my email box to return the product. Boxed it up and took to UPS the next day. Dyson’s website said it could take as long as 15 days from the date they receive the old vacuum to send me another. Yesterday I received my new Gen5Detect via UPS less than 10 days after I returned the broken vacuum. Been using my old V8 in the interim, and what a difference. Customer reviews also spoke to not so good customer service on the Dyson Website. I did not find that to be the case. The individuals I worked with were professional, knowledgeable and able to make customerfacing decisions. They resolved the issue quickly and much to my satisfaction. I currently have a 20+ year yellow Dyson which I still use in my sewing room; a purple animal upright which I will probably give up; the very first Dyson stick 25 years ago which I was very disappointed in and returned; the V8 and now the Gen5. Edit: Well here it is October, 2025 and the wheel on the right hand side of the vac is broken. I guess i should count myself lucky as it lasted 16 mths. The machine is too expensive for it to break over and over in the same spot. Indicates poor quality control on the part of Dyson. I guess this time i will have to spend 50 dollars to replace it. ... show more

  • Unrepairable after two years.
Style: Gen5outsize
I purchased this unit exactly 2 years ago. Dyson GEN5outsize cordless, SV24. The unit worked very well, particularly with the green laser light on the hardwood floor unit. Also the carpet unit picks up far more particular material than my old corded vacuum. Unfortunately, the unit quit working and made only a clicking noise when turned on. The troubleshooting guide was useless as the problem was not related to obstruction or battery failure. Finally, I was able to contact a representative through the Dyson app. She listened to the sound that the machine was making over my cell phone. I was told that I needed a new motor/cyclone unit for $129. I was directed to the Dyson website where I found the unit was back-ordered. I was able to leave an email address where they would notify me when the replacement unit would be available. This is a fairly low tech way to manage customer service – requiring a customer to repeatedly check emails and going back to the website. Meanwhile, my $900 unit is useless standing in a corner. Just because my vacuum cleaner is out of service doesn’t mean that my house doesn’t continue to get dirty. I would recommend this unit only as a backup to an otherwise functional corded vacuum unit as repair of the Dyson product cannot be done in a timely way. I hope someday the replacement part becomes available, but who knows. ... show more
