Yes, at almost £600 (as of January 2023), the V15 from Dyson is considerably more expensive than many customers are prepared to pay for a hoover. But the price must be put on the performance. As Stiftung Warentest recently pointed out, you must dig deeper into your pocket than you might like for a model with good to outstanding suction performance.
In the test conducted by the renowned institute, the Dyson came second, only slightly behind the Bosch Unlimited Gen2 Series 8 BSS825CARP. Its convincing suction performance on carpets and hard floors is particularly striking; the Dyson hardly leaves anything to be desired. Suitable for anyone with pets: The Dyson efficiently picks up fibres and (pet) hair from carpets and upholstered furniture.
The fact that it didn’t win the test is due to a few deductions in the B grade, for example, in disassembly/assembly, charging time and battery replacement. On the other hand, dust allergy sufferers might be bothered by the dust bin; emptying it is not always possible without manual assistance. On the other hand, the Dyson scores points for dust retention – the exhaust air is clean.
Overall, Dyson has an excellent final score based on the available tests. There is also a lot of encouragement from customers – even though Dyson is one of the most popular hoover manufacturers. The V15, therefore, deserves a recommendation, provided you attach great importance to top performance and are willing to pay a higher sum for it.
