Dyson Slim If you live in a flat or a smaller home with limited of storage, you should consider exploring Dyson's smaller and lighter cordless vacuum cleaners, such as the Dyson V12 Detect Slim Absolute, or go for the petite Dyson Micro or Dyson Omni-Glide. Easy swap battery Batteries get less effective over time and hold less charge, so an easy to swap element is a key factor for us. This saves you the money and the hassle of getting the battery professionally replaced. All you need to do is press a button to remove the old battery and pop in a fresh one. There are some niggles, however, and one of those is having to switch the floor heads for different surfaces. However, the soft roller head does work very well on hard floors and, better yet, it comes with the innovative laser “Detect” feature that Dyson first introduced with the V15. This shows you where the dirt is by lighting it up with a green laser, the idea being you don’t miss anything. It works well but is at its best in dim conditions. Bright sunlight can make the laser hard to see. Jednoduchou výměnou akumulátoru pouhým stiskem tlačítka zdvojnásobíte dobu chodu (druhý akumulátor lze zakoupit samostatně).

There are benefits to both types of design. A trigger switch is good, as you only engage the vacuum cleaner while cleaning, maximising battery life; a physical on/off button is more useful for people that find it uncomfortable or difficult to hold a trigger in constantly. I’d actually prefer both options: a trigger and a method to permanently keep the power on.Dyson V12 Detect Slim (left) vs Dyson V15 Detect (right) (Image credit: TechRadar) Dyson V12 Detect Slim: performance On carpet, it had to work harder and collected 47g, which remains a commendable effort. Again, there was very little left in the carpet after a single pass, although I could make out a very light dusting. This was easily captured in subsequent passes. The only other major difference between the V12 and the V15 is the bin capacity. As mentioned earlier, the V12 comes with a 0.35L bin – the same one used in the Omni-Glide – and is just enough for a one-bedroom apartment. If you happen to live in a larger home, especially one with wall-to-wall carpeting, then you’ll find yourself emptying the bin often. On the Auto mode, we got a maximum of 40 minutes of fade-free power, while the Boost mode gave us no more than 20 minutes with the Laser Slim Fluffy. And that’s pretty much the same as what the V15 Detect offers as well. do oblouku uspořádaných cyklón vytváří odstředivé síly až 100 000 G, které separují prach a nečistoty z proudu nasávaného vzduchu – takže nedochází ke ztrátě sacího výkonu.

An on/off button If you've owned Dyson cordless vacuum cleaners in the past, you might be familiar with the trigger button, which needs to be held down continuously for the vacuum to work. If you're not a fan of this feature, you'll be glad to hear that this has been replaced by a single-button power control that you don't need to hold down during vacuuming. All you need to do is press the button to turn the vacuum on and off. There’s a 0.35-litre bin on this vacuum cleaner, which is considerably smaller than on the V15. However, I find that the bin is generally big enough for a full clean until the battery is depleted. Noise Keep the TV or radio on while you clean or live in a shared household as noise might be a deal-breaker. We found that the V12 was fairly loud during our first look test. In fact, it appeared to be louder than the V7, but we will get an accurate decibel reading for the V12 in our lab tests soon. We'll also be able to tell you how long the battery lasts on minimum power, maximum power, as well as how long it takes to charge.

Hinge feature This is a new feature that you won't find on older Dyson models, but they've now rolled it out to new V8s, which are very similar to V7s. It helps you clean by adding flexibility to the cleaner head, making it easier to vacuum hard-to-reach spots, such as underneath sofas and other furniture. There are plenty more bits and bobs in the box, including a crevice tool, a multipurpose dusting brush and wider nozzle, and a low-reach adapter. The latter puts an elbow in the extension wand so you can vacuum under low furniture without having to get down on your hands and knees. Není nutné trvale držet spouštěcí tlačítko. Při objíždění překážek si můžete vyměnit ruce, což usnadňuje úklid. What model you need really depends on your individual needs and the size of your home. Here are three of Dyson's key ranges: Dyson Animal If you share your home with a furry friend or more, you might want to consider one of the Animal models. These usually come with a mini-turbo tool, which is designed to make it easier to remove pet hair on a variety of surfaces.
