Great Usage Time
Decided to upgrade to the Gen5 after using a number of smaller Dyson vacuum cleaners over many years. The Gen5 is a very efficient, has great suction and long usable power. The different heads certainly do their job.

Useless on carpet, great on hard floor
very disappointed after purchase that i found out that it is useless on carpet, it keeps bogging down even on echo setting. It is quite heavy compared to my old Dyson V6. So happy I kept my old Hoover vacuum for the carpet.
It is absolutely brilliant on hard floors, love the green light.

Easy handling and Clean
Easy handling, all good except the boost vacuum function. When you use the boost function it is super noisy and run out of battery in only 15 minutes, while total charging time is more than 3 hour and a half.

Good and Bad
Far more powerful than its predecessors. Far too many attachments and the instructions are woefully inadequate.

Powerful Tool
I purchased the Gen5 Detect last month, and as always, Dyson never fails to impress. On the positive side, I love being able to see the battery usage and the amount of dirt collected displayed on the screen. I’m also really enjoying the hard floor attachment—the green light is excellent at spotting pet hair and genuinely makes you want to vacuum every time.

Great vacuum
We bought this Dyson vacuum a month ago to replace our V8 model, as it was not enough powerful. I love Gen5Detect. It is powerful, has all the attachments I need and a standing accessories stand, which is important as I didn't want to screw anything to the wall. It is a bit heavy, but I understand that the engine should be more powerful to clean that good. I am still to...

I bought the Dyson gen5 a few weeks ago. Absolutely love it. The green light ensures you are not missing any stray pet hairs. The suction is amazing. It is lite weight enough that my 6, 8 and 10 year old can use it without difficulty. The attachments are so easy to use. No fumbling to add for the small crevice just remove the vacuum head with a click of a button. My 8 ...

Very impressed
I am very happy with this purchase. I was sceptical about stick vacuums having only used the Dyson ball vacuum for years (which is great also). The laser light that shows up all the dust/dirt is amazing - I can easily see where I may have missed. I do prefer my previous ball Dyson for getting dirt out of corners but all in all - its fantastic. I start vacuuming 1 ro...

Very happy with my Gen5 Detect Absolute vacuum
I bought a Dyson SV23 Gen5 Detect Absolute during the Black Friday sales, bundled with a detail cleaning kit, at well below 50% of the combined recommended retail price. At that price, it was a bargain - a premium stick vacuum at the usual cost of an average machine.

Have been using our Gen5 for a couple of months. We did a fair amount of research before we made our purchase. Performance wise it is fantastic, manoeuvrability is also exceptional. The battery life is about 30 minutes but it does take at least 3 hours to fully recharge which is not really a problem. It is very easy to empty and overall we are very happy with our choic...

Doesn’t knock my socks off for the price
When I ordered this vacuum I thought I ordered the v15? I don’t understand how I made a mistake but this one came and I used it. The positive is I love the light to see the dust you don’t otherwise see, scary…lol
It’s pretty light, no button to hold while I vacuum everywhere. And as I have arthritis essential for me.

A difference you can see
We bought this in the Black Friday sales. The light is both helpful and disturbing at the same time - good to see the difference the vacuum makes. Prefer the option of a ‘trigger’ power button as enables you to vacuum one handed. Sometimes it still pushes items around the floor rather than vacuuming.

Satisfactory
I bought this a few days ago and it’s not as powerful as I had thought and read. Hair on the carpet don’t get picked up. Also it doesn’t run on silk carpets and gets stuck. Hardwood floors are easy to clean.
