Amazon’s October Prime Day deals continue to flood the internet during day two of the sale. One of the best deals we've found is on the Dyson V15 Detect Plus cordless vacuum: Prime members can grab it for $570, which represents a discount of $180. The V15 Detect topped our list of the best cordless vacuums for a number of reasons. First and foremost, the suction power is impressive. This is arguably the most important feature for any vacuum, cordless or not, and this Dyson delivers. We were consistently shocked by how much cat hair was hiding in the carpet during our tests.
For the ultimate stick vac glow-up, consider the Dyson V15 Detect. It’s lightweight, zippy and has a customizable brush cleaner head for optimizing toward different surfaces (toggle to the “-” symbol for shallow throw rugs or the “+” sign for plush carpets).
Like the V8 and V11, it comes with Dyson’s suite of accessories, plus — and this is where it gets really neat — a neon green light-emitting soft fluffy roller brush that detects and eliminates dust and other fine particles to ensure hardwood floors are truly clean (there’s also a washable HEPA filter and sophisticated LCD reads). I use Detects in my home and can’t imagine cleaning without them.
Usually selling for around $750, the V15 is marked down almost $180, bringing it to $570, which is competitive based on other, inferior stick vacuums we've tried in the same price range. (See here for more on our Best Cordless Stick Vacuums of 2024.)
The “Detect” in the model’s name refers to a light embedded within the Fluffy Optic cleaning head, which is a brush roll intended for hard floors. This helps illuminate patches of dust and debris build ups, so the vacuum can do its job on the first pass. It’s worth noting that this model ships with other head attachments, but they don’t include the same light.
There’s also a nifty LCD screen that lets users know exactly what’s being sucked up into the machine, with data on the size and frequency of debris particles. This isn’t really necessary, but it’s fun to see all of the gunk being removed from a home during a cleaning session. The V15 Detect even ships with a piezo sensor that automatically adjusts the internal engine depending on how dirty the floors are.
This is a slightly upgraded version of the V15 Detect, thus the “Plus” in the name. There’s an improved filter with this one that promises to trap “99.99% of particles as small as 0.3 microns.”
