Dyson Gen5detect review 2024: heavy-duty vacuum cleaner

The cordless vacuum cleaners made by Dyson have entered a new age with the introduction of the Gen5detect. Not only does it abandon the more conventional naming structure used for products in the V-series, but it also enhances the capabilities of the V15 Detect. The former trigger mechanism that powered the vacuum has been replaced with a regular on/off button, much like in the Dyson V12 Detect Slim. Other than that, it is identical to the handsticks that come with the other models in the Dyson V-series. This comes as a pleasant surprise given that the new top-of-the-line cordless vacuum cleaner is heavier than any of the models that came before it.

The additional weight is due to two other enhancements: an integrated crevice tool and a larger battery. Both of these upgrades contribute to the overall improvement. The former is now integrated into the tube of the Gen5detect and can be accessed by pressing a button and then pulling the tube down. This was previously an external component. In comparison to what we found on the V11 and V15 versions, the battery is both more compact and larger in length.

Dyson Gen5detect Specifications

The brand-new Dyson Gen5Detect is a beast of a cordless stick vacuum that exceeds everything else in our current guide to the finest cordless stick vacuums. It is called the Gen5Detect.

Dyson Gen5detect: Design & features

The Dyson Gen5detect vacuum cleaner, for the most part, has the same general appearance as any other Dyson vacuum cleaner and has the same basic shape. However, there are some visible variations between the earlier models and the new ones. To begin, the traditional trigger that was used to power the machine has been replaced by a power button that is located on top of the LCD display, somewhat similar to how it is located in the V12 Detect Slim.

A red stripe has been added along the side of the handle for some extra trim, and the battery pack now appears to be sleeker and longer than previous models in the V-series. These are two of the more visible small modifications in appearance when compared with the other models in the series. The HEPA filter housing on the top of the Gen5detect is a larger cylinder (earlier models were smaller and angled outward slightly), but the petal-like shape for the motor is shorter. This may be seen if you look a little closer. earlier models were smaller and angled outward significantly.

Dyson Gen5detect: Performance

The Dyson Gen5detect does a great job of cleaning. The new motor on board now has a pulling power of up to 262 air watts, but in Auto mode, it’s hard to tell the difference between the V15 Detect and its replacement. But Boost mode has gotten a lot better, which puts it on par with the Samsung Bespoke Jet’s highest suction setting (called Jet mode), even though the competition has less suction at 210 air watts. Still, the Gen5detect is a great sucker, whether you need to clean a carpet with a lot of hair or a hard floor quickly.

Concerning rugs with tangled hair, the Motorbar cleaner head has 56 “detangling vanes” that get rid of any tangles and keep the attachment clean and easy to take care of. The Hair Screw Tool is, of course, in the box, but its base is too small to be useful on floors. As before, the suction power is dynamic when using the Digital Motorbar tool. If the Gen5detect feels more dirt or realizes it has moved from a hard floor to a carpet, it will automatically increase the suction, which will cut down on the time you spend vacuuming.

Dyson Gen5detect: Battery life

When it comes to battery life, Dyson hasn’t made any big changes in a while. After three versions of V-series vacuums that could only run for up to 60 minutes, we now have one that can run for up to 70 minutes. In fact, we were able to squeeze out 75 minutes during one test run. Dyson doesn’t say how much power the bigger battery has, but it’s great for cleaning larger homes all at once. We used the Digital Motorbar on a pretty clean hard floor and got about 62 minutes in Eco mode, 45 minutes in Auto mode, and only 8 minutes in Boost mode.

If you move to the Fluffy Optic cleaning head, you’ll get more, which is good news for people who have mostly hard floors. We got just under 75 minutes on a pretty clean tile floor in Eco mode, 65 minutes in Auto mode, and 15 minutes in Boost mode. Because of how the pressure works, it’s important to remember that runtimes will vary. If your floors are very dirty, you’re probably not going to get as many people.

Dyson Gen5detect: Price and availability

If you want to get your hands on it, it will cost you at least $949.99, £849.99, or AU$1,499 to do so. The Gen5detect comes in different models, just like every other Dyson cordless vacuum cleaner. In Australia, there are two of them. The only difference between the Gen5detect Complete and the Gen5detect Absolute, which is our test model and the only one offered in the US, is the color scheme and the number of tools that come with each.

Final Words

The Dyson Gen5detect is a powerful vacuum cleaner, providing the suction power of a plug-in model despite its cordless design. This vacuum cleaner’s incredible pick-up means you can clean your home quickly, and its clever details—such as its ability to automatically vary its suction force in response to the level of filth on the floor—make it a delight to use.
