Each has a new display, the same cleaning heads, three cleaning modes, and automatically adjusts suction on heavy areas or carpets. What is new?

Soft roller

A new Fluffy Optic cleaner head made for vacuuming hard floors with illumination is the best thing Dyson ever made. The illumination helps to reveal even tiny particles of dust you normally don't see when vacuuming.

Floor type and dust detect

The latest models identify floor type and dusty areas automatically adjusting suction power when needed. It's a big step up to set you free and not switch between cleaning modes on carpets.

Display

The upgraded display is vivid and rich-featured. It shows cleaning modes, estimated battery life (countdown timer), the level of floor cleanliness, particle sizes, and maintenance alerts.

Accessories

The accessories pack for the four models is the same. It includes a crevice tool, dust brush, mini brush, and 2 power heads. The Dyson V15s submarine has a motorized wet roller since it is the only vacuum that mops the floors.


Dyson V15 Detect

Unlike the V11 which boosts suction on carpet, the V15 increases power in dusty areas. The cleaner is powerful, made for deep carpet clean, and deals with debris of any size on hard floor.

Overall, the Dyson V15 puts lots of value on the price considering its features and an attachment set.

Dyson V15s Detect Submarine

The V15s Detect Submarine is the only cordless vacuum in the lineup with a water tank and mopping head.

The Dyson V15s Detect Submarine is powerful, illuminates dust, identifies debris, automatically adjusts suction level, and has a bigger accessory pack.

Dyson V15 Detect vs V15s Detect Submarine

The Dyson V15s Detect Submarine is basically the Dyson V15 Detect with a third cleaning head for mopping that has a water tank and is compatible with detergent.


Dyson Gen5

Dyson Gen5 has two modifications: Gen5detect and Gen5outsize. The second is bigger with a larger dustbin, wider cleaning head, and longer runtime.

The Dyson Gen5detect is the most powerful vacuum cleaner in the lineup. The cleaner is ideal for big houses. The wider cleaning head covers a bigger area at once making the job done faster. With the bigger everything, you get a heavier vacuum that might tire your arm in the long run. So you can get the Gen5detect which is smaller, more lightweight, and cheaper.

The Dyson Gen5detect is smaller, more lightweight, and cheaper

Dyson Gen5outsize

The Dyson Gen5outsize is similar to the Dyson Outsize. It is a large machine with a wider head, a bigger dustbin, two batteries for longer runtime, and more power.

 

The Dyson Gen5outsize is the most powerful with the biggest dustbin and a large cleaning head is everything to wish for. The only downside is weight. It might tire your arm in the long run.
