That and the premium price tag would be my only two complaints. Though only 0.5kg heavier than the V15, that weight is all in the top which makes it cumbersome as a handheld - unfortunate given the upgrade Dyson has made on immersing the handheld inside the regular vacuum. It’s noticeably heavier than previous models. It’s the kind of thick fur that seems to stick to everything, nothing can budge it except this vacuum. I have a long-haired tabby cat who malts so much it’s a wonder she has any fur left. In practice, the Gen5 Detect is impressive. The battery is removable – spares are available to buy from Dyson should you wish to double your run time. It also races ahead of competitors when it comes to battery life, with a maximum run time of 70 minutes. Like previous models, the Gen5 Detect has three power modes: ‘Auto,’ which intelligently adapts to different floor types, ‘Eco,’ which saves power, and ‘Boost,’ for intensive cleaning. It also uses an on and off switch like the Dyson V12 (£529.99) rather than the trigger tool favoured by every other Dyson vacuum. The Gen5 Detect converts to a handheld simply by detaching the stick - a dusting and crevice tool is built into the vacuum which is very handy. The new HEPA filter supposedly means the vacuum can suck up viruses, although that’s obviously difficult to test. Air Watts measure the power of airflow per second in vacuum cleaners. It’s Dyson’s most powerful model yet with a suction power of 262 Air Watts on boost mode, compared to the V15’s 230. That’s almost £200 more than Dyson’s ex top of the range model, the Dyson V15 (£699.99). To address the elephant in the room, the Dyson Gen5 Detect is a significant outlay – just shy of £850, to be exact.
