#Dyson #Vacuum #Cleaning
The Dyson Gen5 Detect is an expensive yet remarkable cordless stick vacuum. It packs a powerful performance able to remove 98.4% of all debris in our tests. In addition, it has useful accessories that aided in reducing tangles in our long & pet hair tests. Its 0.2 gallon dustbin is completely sealed along with the rest of the system. Usability is incredible, thanks to auto mode, useful accessories, and a built in crevice tool in the extension wand.

    Nice review definitely on par with the 'Vacuum Wars' channel review. I was totally blown away by the 'Vacuum Facts' channel testing and review, which really does set the benchmarks for the entire internet, but this was also very interesting. I really want to buy one of these now...but that price!

  • @ModernCastle

    If you've got a house that's 2500 sq. ft or more I'd say go Outsize. A larger home will benefit more from the larger dust bin and extra battery. However, with a smaller home you'll still have plenty of run time / dust bin size with the Gen 5 Detect.

    The tests were done in boost mode. I like to see it done in auto mode to see how effective the sensor working in tandem with the motor to be effective. The vacuum can have the strongest suction but if auto mode is not effective then motor may not give enough power for suction

    Hard to imagine what those users could be complaining about. The Gen5 is easily the best cordless vacuum ever created. It has the most suction power of any cordless vacuum and more suction than all but the absolute highest end corded upright / canister vacuums.

    If your carpet has a thick and/or dense pile, the cleaner head will create a stronger seal requiring you to open the front gates or decrease the suction power. The cleaning performance shouldn’t be reduced with the gates open since the thicker pile will still create a good seal. Your best bet is to buy from a place that allows returns, but make sure you know the return policy so you don’t get screwed over (such as not allowing returns if the vacuum has been opened and used). You should be fine as long as it doesn’t stall out on the normal/auto mode. If you have to run on eco mode in order to work, you’d probably be better off with a lower model that doesn’t have as much suction since you won’t be able to use that extra power afforded by this model.

    I just got a gen5 and ran into the rug issue. I can only vaccum with the gates open otherwise the head stops. I can get away with the gates on the middle on eco but barely. I can't use boost mode on anything. The vaccum is so powerful even with the gates open I was seriously impressed with how much junk ended up in it. I was using a Animal 3 corded and I'm honestly impressed with the gen5.

    Why is the sand just layed on top of carpet in these tests? I would like to see how well it sucks up when it's been walked on a ton, really gotten down into the carpet to simulate an actual household. This is only realistic if you get around your house by hovering.

    It's a fair question. In the past we've done what I called "embedded dirt" test where we do just that...take sand, sugar, dirt, mud, etc. and grind it into the carpet. However, we really weren't seeing significant differences in performance on those tests compared to the tests you see here. The vacuums that did well in our standard tests did well in our embed tests, and the vacuums that did poorly in one test did poorly in the other. Ultimately, I believe our test as its done here is providing us with reliable and consistent data that showcases the best performers.
