Dyson V15 Detect
Dyson is to cordless vacuums what Kleenex is to facial tissues: a brand that’s become synonymous with the product. Every year the company releases iterative updates to its cleaners that include more suction power, better battery life, and improved ergonomics, but this year it released a vacuum that does something few have ever done before: It actually makes you want to vacuum.
The most notable feature on the Dyson V15 Detect is a green laser installed in the vacuum’s cleaning head that illuminates the path ahead and makes every last spec of dirt and dust on your floors glow like lights on a Christmas tree. The first time you use the V15 you might be startled at just how much dirt is on your floors, but seeing it all disappear as you start vacuuming, ensuring your floors are genuinely clean, is very satisfying. With the V15 Detect, Dyson also included an acoustic piezo sensor that measures the size and quantity of dirt particles being sucked up. The detail of what’s on your floors is displayed on a small LCD display, but the vacuum also uses that information to intelligently adjust its suction power, increasing it only as needed to ensure your floors are getting cleaned, while the vacuum’s battery life is maximized. It’s really impressive. —Andrew Liszewski
