Why I love my Dyson V15 vacuum cleaner
My Dyson V15 works great for quick or deep cleans. Because it’s cordless, I love not having to constantly plug it in and then unplug it when cleaning the upstairs and downstairs of my house. It does not take up storage space because the charging station is mounted in our garage. It’s no surprise to me that the Dyson V15 outperformed most of its competitors in CNET’s lab tests. The Plus version is almost identical to the standard V15, except it offers improved filtration and comes with a few extra tools (like the low-reach adapter and combination crevice tool).
That’s two days’ worth of dog hair, which my Dyson can vacuum up on its highest suction setting from a 500-square-foot section of carpet.

My Dyson cleans my car just as well
My kids’ and pets’ messes aren’t confined to my house, so I like how the Dyson easily converts to handheld mode, which is handy for vacuuming up loose toddler snacks from car seats and car floors. The crevice tool can reach between spaces in my car and sofa cushions.
The Dyson V15 transforms into a handheld to make cleaning the car easier.
The washable HEPA filter is a plus
I also like the washable HEPA fabric filter. No more running out of replacement filters. Just wash it and let it dry. I also bought a backup replacement filter to use so I don’t have to wait for the original filter to dry before using my beloved Dyson on another mess.
I love how easy it is to clean my Dyson HEPA filter. I have two replacement filters on deck in case one is still wet after washing it.
High-performance vacuum cleaner with just one flaw
My only complaint is the battery life when using it on its best suction setting: boost mode. Dyson’s boost mode works well for picking up my dog’s pet hair, but it drains the battery quickly. To clean two floors in boost mode, it needs to recharge to finish the job, and this can take a few hours.
Dyson has three power modes for different tasks. Overall battery life varies depending on power mode. I find that Boost mode works best on pet hair but will drain the battery quickly.
On the mid setting – automatic mode – I can clean the top and bottom of my 2,000 square foot house on a single charge, and it works well on hard floors and quite well on carpet. Auto mode is suitable for intermediate cleaning, but boost mode works best for deep cleaning of carpets.
