Dyson V12 Review & Tests

We review and test the Dyson V12 Detect Slim cordless vacuum. Tests include carpet, hard floor, hair, edges, noise level, etc. We also dicuss all vacuum features. See it on Amazon: https://amzn.to/3GJmH7D

We highlight that there are currently three V12 models and we show and what is in the box when you get your V12. We also we test the Hair Screw Tool on debris and hair.

We show the tool clip and what tools will fit on it and how it works. The Motorbar cleaner head is removed from the vacuum and each detail of the cleaner head is discussed. We show how the anti-tangle technology works and how to remove and reinstall the brushroll. We do the same thing for the Laser Slim Fluffy cleaner head.

The V12 is the first Dyson cordless vacuum we've reviewed with a power button as opposed to a power trigger. We walk through how each works.

There are three power modes. ECO, AUTO and BOOST. AUTO is an excellent feature and we discuss how the dust sensor increases and decreases suction depending on the amount of dust in the incoming air. Also, AUTO power mode only works with motorized tools so when using the crevice tool and the combo tool, AUTO becomes MEDIUM. The vacuum does this automatically.

A table is provided that compares the suction power of the Dyson V12 with that of the V7, V8, V10, V11 and V15.
We also discuss how powerful or weak the suction power of the V12 is.

This unit has a click-in battery which makes it easy to charge (can be charged on or off the vacuum) and can also double your runtime should you go out and buy a second battery. This is a brilliant feature for those who want or need a longer run time.

We show the features of the LCD control panel on the back of the handheld unit.

We test run times in all three power modes and on both carpet and hard flooring. We compare our results to those of the manufacturer.

We weighed the V12 at 5.2 lbs with the Motorbar cleaner head and 4.6 lbs with the Fluffy cleaner head. We provide a table that shows where the V12 stands with respect to weight when compared to a host of other cordless machines we've reviewed over the years.

V12 movement is excellent as is the movement of pretty much every Dyson cordless we've had the opportunity to investigate.

We performed a series of cleaning tests. Low Pile Carpet, Tile, Hair, Edges. Each test is shown and the results are discussed.

The dust canister on the vacuum is small. We compare it to the size of the dust canisters on other Dyson cordless vacuums and we show how to empty the V12.

A digital noise level meter is used to capture the noise level of the vacuum in all three power modes. We provide a table that compares the V12 noise level to that of other popular cordless vacuums.

We show how to remove and clean the filter and we discuss what a sealed system is and why it is important.

Finally, we provide a summary of our findings.
