The best Dyson cordless vacuums in review 2024

The Dyson V15 has a whopping 230 air watts, which is the most powerful suction we have ever seen.

Thanks to over 60 minutes of runtime and three different power modes, the cordless vacuum achieves excellent cleaning results.

It even has an LCD display so that you can monitor the suction process.

And there’s more to it: The V15 constantly analyses the floor and the size and type of dirt.

The vacuum cleaner automatically adjusts the suction mode according to its analysis and does the work for you.

Dyson also upgraded the attachments. They’re now even more efficient in combating (pet) hair. 

Hair can’t wrap itself around the brushes anymore, thus preventing blockages.

The revised Fluffy attachment for hard floors also has a green laser now. With this, you can see even fine dust particles and vacuum them directly.

 Oops, Dyson did it again…

...The engineers put in the work and managed to top their existing devices off with even more innovative features and improved performance in the V15!

The Dyson V12 Slim has a lot to offer. 

Cleaning performance

Although Dyson has cut back on the suction power, the V12 still packs 150 airwatts. This brings it close to the power of its predecessor - the Dyson V10.

The cutback didn’t get in the way of the hoover in our cleaning test.

Whether on carpet or hard floor, the cordless Dyson vacuum left hardly any dirt behind.

Handy and compact in design

Quite a bit smaller than the V15, it feels much more compact when held.

This becomes especially noticeable when using it as a handheld vacuum.

Vacuuming furniture and the ceiling with only one hand? No problem!

Illuminated Cleaner Head: Laser dirt detection for advanced cleaning

A new, updated nozzle specially designed for hard floors:

The Illuminated cleaner head.

Such a practical innovation! 🚀

The lockable power button

The first V-series cordless vacuum cleaner with a lockable power button.

Many of you will be thinking: finally!

Press it once and the V12 runs until the battery is empty or until you press it again.

Conclusion on the Dyson V12 Slim

A really high-quality and powerful product with many practical innovations. 🚂

We recommend the V12 Slim for small to medium-sized homes in particular, and, of course, for all Dyson fans who have always wanted a cordless vacuum cleaner with a lockable button (made by Dyson). 😉

The latest model from Dyson is also the best. Dyson UK continuously improves its devices, and the most recent model from 2020 has a surprise in stock for us. 

Now you can click out the battery of the device and put in a charged one. You can double up the runtime with a few simple steps.

Tops of the Dyson V11 

Battery Life 

The battery life is about 60 minutes, which is the best runtime among Dyson's cordless vacuums. It should be more than enough for most households. 

You can even extend or double the runtime thanks to the click system. 

New and Smart 

Dyson equipped the V11 with a practical LCD screen. The display helps to monitor the device and shows useful information.

Intelligent Adjustment of Suction Power

The new Dyson V11 recognises the surface and adjusts the suction power accordingly. That improves the cleaning performance and prolongs the battery life, as it saves battery power. 

Exceptional Suction Power 

The V11 brought the most powerful suction to the table of all the devices that we tested. The suction power was so strong that we removed more dirt from the carpet than we had spread. 

The suction power of the 2020 model is even at 220 AW in boost mode.

Which Dyson V11 from 2020 is the best? 

There are currently 3 variants of Dyson V11 from 2020 on the market: 

• Dyson V11 Extra 

• Dyson V11 Extra Pro and

• Dyson V11 Extra + 

• Dyson V11 Outsize 

The difference between the first three is only in the delivery scope. 

Attention: Please always compare the current prices, as Dyson often changes the offers. 

The Dyson V11 Outsize 

However, the Outsize has a couple of innovations in stock: 

As the name suggests, it has a different size. The dirt container has a capacity of 1.2 l, which is almost 500 ml larger than before. 

The floor brush is also 25 % wider. 

Thanks to these features, you’ll be done much faster if you clean with the Outsize ☺ It’s also particularly suitable for larger areas.

Which Dyson V11 is your best choice? 

We recommend the Dyson V11 Absolute 

1. For all those who have to vacuum a lot of hard floors because it includes the soft floor nozzle. That cleaner head does a great job when cleaning hard floors.
2. For all those who have many different floor types because the Absolute Extra’s Torque-Drive floor nozzle of the V11 comes in very handy here. 

Only the Extra Pro has even more features, like the docking station for storage. But YOU have to dig a little deeper into your pocket for that.

The Dyson V10 Absolute caught us off-guard with its entirely new design when it came out in 2018. 

The new arrangement of the engine and dirt tank has improved performance significantly.

The Dyson V10’s Highlights 

Excellent Cleaning Performance 

The Dyson V10 came out with flying colours in our cleaning tests. No matter what dirt or on which floor type, the Dyson V10 left the floor spotless.

The cordless stick vacuum scored so well thanks to its powerful suction. According to the manufacturer, the V10 has 150 AW. You see that when you vacuum. That’s why the V10 stole the show from all other cordless vacuums in 2018. 

Emptying the Dirt Container 

The new emptying function is also a considerable advantage. 

You just have to push the slider forward, and the dirt falls directly into the dustbin. 

Advantage: It’s very suitable for allergy sufferers, but it’s also great for everyone else. Now the annoying dust won’t find its way back into the flat. 

Flexibility 

It’s super easy to convert it from a stick vacuum to a handheld vacuum. The vast amount of accessories also increases the versatility of the V10 immensely. 

Long Runtime 

The battery life of the Dyson V10 is excellent and lasts for up to 60 minutes. That’s sufficient for cleaning most flats and houses. After that, it takes about 4.5 hours to charge the battery fully. 

3 Different Power Settings

It’s also got an upgrade from two to three suction modes. This way, you can always choose a suitable power mode for the dirty challenge that lays in front of you. 

You can switch to turbo mode if you have to deal with stubborn dirt. If it’s only light dirt, the minimum level will be sufficient. 

The medium level works great for most everyday situations. 

The extra mode improves cleaning performance and battery life. 

There’s always room for improvement 

After the Dyson V11 came onto the market, the price of the V10 has also dropped immensely. The most significant disadvantage of the cordless vacuum cleaner has become insignificant. 

Which variant is the best deal? 

There are three variants of the V10: 

• Absolute, 

• Motorhead, 

• Animal. 

The manufacturer offers only the Absolute model at the moment, which is the best option anyway if you ask us. Its features are simply the best. 

Read more about that in our detailed Dyson V10 Absolute review. 

We recommend the Dyson V10 for those who want an excellent cleaning performance but don’t need the latest technology (display, automatic adjustment of suction power, etc.). 

This naturally affects the price of the V10. It’s much cheaper than the latest models.

The Dyson V8 was Dyson's top model for years and impressed even then with excellent cleaning performance. 

Nowadays, the device’s price is almost unbeatable, considering what an excellent performance it brings to the table. 

The Advantages of the Dyson V8 

Bright and shiny at the end 

Like all Dyson devices in the UK, the cleaning performance leaves nothing to be desired. The Dyson V8 has an impressive 120 AW. That’s a superb value - even for today’s standards. 

In our cleaning tests, it hardly reached its limits.

Versatile? - Definitely 

The V8 is also very versatile in use. It works great for cleaning your flat, furniture and also to vacuum the car. 

Power Modes 

You can step up your game for coarse dirt and save battery power when removing everyday dirt thanks to its two suction levels. 

Are there any disadvantages? 

Old but Powerful 

It’s an outdated model that works very well - but not as good as its successors. 

Time Matters 

The battery life is relatively short. 

Attention Allergy Sufferers 

Emptying the dirt container is a little more complicated than with the successor models. You can’t hit the bucket with that much precision. You have to be more careful so that the dust won’t sneak back into the flat. 

Recommendation 

The power is decent, and the cleaning performance is good. 

We recommend the unit for those who have a small budget, in smaller flats. 

The dirt bin

The Dyson V11 Outsize has an extra large dirt bin.

It has a capacity of 1.2 litres. That's a record!

It means you have to empty your cordless hoover much less often.

The XL-Torque Drive

With the Outsize's 25% larger standard brush, you can clean surfaces faster.

You have more time for the really nice things in life.

More power

Even more power: 220 airwatts of power in boost mode. No one has ever done that before.

When vacuuming, you notice the power and the cleaning really goes deep.

Conclusion

The size of the Outsize makes it the heaviest of its kind. For some people, the 3.6 kg device might be too heavy in the long run. Here, it's your personal feeling that decides.

The Dyson Omni-glide is a super lightweight, cordless, bagless vacuum for cleaning hard floors.

Hard floors are indeed its specialty. It achieves excellent cleaning results here.

The innovative design leads to excellent maneuverability. 

The device is very light, and you can vacuum forwards and backwards thanks to the 360-degree floor nozzle.

But a coin always has two sides: To be such a lightweight, it has to compensate with shorter battery life and a smaller dirt container.
