About a month ago, the D15on V15 model was launched in Israel.
The British manufacturer, which has become the market leader in cordless vacuum cleaners in recent years, is admittedly very expensive compared to Asian competitors, which manage to produce successful products, but anyone who has used a Dyson vacuum cleaner knows that it is not really possible to compare performance between devices.
Dyson's pumping power, at least at this point, overshadows any gimmick found in competitors.
The V15 Detect Absolute Extra is the company's luxury flagship device (there are two cheap models under it, which also come under the name V15).
This model costs close to NIS 3,600, and in return, it offers a unique solution in the industry - laser technology for dust detection.
Pumping: Dyson V15 - Improving pumping power
First of all, let's start with a really short comparison to the previous generation V11 absolute extra.
The suction power of the V11 was very strong and reached 185 AW, in the V15 Detect Absolute Extra Dyson managed to reach up to 240AW and it is impressive and also very powerful.
This difference is well felt when using the two pumps and you can easily see how much this extra power helps the V15.
The weight itself remains more or less the same.

The main innovation in the V15 is the laser technology, which is located in the fluffy brush (soft roller).
The laser detects the dust particles that are not visible to the human eye, using a green laser beam.
The idea sounds ridiculous at first, but is addictive in use.
First of all, I realized how dirty my floor is with dust, both that it looks clean and even the day after its pumping or rinsing.
The laser detects different types of dust particles, in all sorts of sizes.
The detection of the laser is also visible in daylight, but when you turn off the light in the room, the detection of dirt is easier.
The big problem with this whole story is that you realize that your house is constantly littered with dust and it's a little disturbing.
Dyson V15: Counting dust particles and a brush that does not get tangled with hairs
To bother you even more, Dyson thought that seeing tiny dust is nice, but they also want to tell you that you will really not feel good about yourself.
The piezo sensor embedded in the fluffy brush knows how to count and measure the dust particles by their size 15,000 times per second.
The dust pumped into the collection tank encounters the Piezo sensor which converts the tiny vibrations into electrical signals which are translated into quantitative data.
On an LCD monitor at the top of the vacuum cleaner, real-time dust particle data is displayed by quantities and sizes.
Also, when the Piezo sensor detects high concentrations of dust and dirt, the vacuum cleaner automatically increases the suction power.
This count of dust felt less critical to me, but there may be users, who will like the idea more.
Dyson V15: Screen with Hebrew and fast switching between brushes
By the way, the LCD screen includes an interface in Hebrew and allows you to easily switch between pumping modes (automatic, economical and high) and display graphical instructions in case of a malfunction.
In addition, it displays the remaining battery time in minutes.
Apart from the fluffy brush and other accessories, Dyson from France for the kit, similar to the previous generation the Torque brush, is a smart thumping brush, which adapts itself to different surfaces and manages to create an automatic balance between working time and suction power (used in automatic mode). The new brush incorporated 56 small teeth made of polycarbonate. The small teeth form a comb, which prevents the hair from tangling around the brush, so that the hair is sucked into the collection container easily without unnecessary contact. It really works, but I found myself using the Torque brush only I wanted to vacuum the shaggy rug I have, which helped take out dust or deep sunken sand, the rest of the time I preferred to use the fluffy brush with the laser, which is also more convenient to drag on the floor at home.
What I really liked about the V15 is the combination inside the vacuum cleaner itself of a head for cleaning narrow areas, like shutter rails and also an extra head for finer surfaces.
This combined head does not need to be assembled on its own, just disconnect the body of the vacuum cleaner and it will pop out so that it is always with you.
In addition, Dyson from France clips the same components on the vacuum cleaner itself, which allows you to carry two more heads when walking around the house.
Battery: V15 Removable battery
The V15 includes the option to quickly replace a battery, using its simple retrieval.
This is a convenient solution if you want to double the pumping time of the vacuum cleaner or it is time to replace the battery, which has already done its thing.
It is worth taking into account that the cost of an additional battery is sold in the NIS 600 range.
The working time that Dyson declares is about 60 minutes, but it very much depends on the surfaces on which he works and the amount of dirt, so be prepared for at least a 15-minute shave from this destination.
Price: NIS 3,590
Bottom line, the V15 Detect Absolute Extra is a very expensive cordless vacuum cleaner, which does a great job, thanks to strong suction power, combining different heads inside the vacuum cleaner, laser technology and a large variety of accessories, so if you are willing to invest the required amount of money, you will Satisfied.
