Pros & cons

Dyson V15s Detect Submarine

  • ✓Separate clean/dirty water tanks keep you from mopping with dirty water
  • ✓Laser dust detection shows exactly where debris is on hard floors
  • ✓Swaps back to a standard fluffy or Motorbar head for carpets and stairs
  • ✓60-minute max runtime is competitive for a wet-roller stick
  • ✗Wet roller head requires a self-clean/dry cycle after every use
  • ✗Dry dustbin capacity (0.76L) is on the small side for whole-home cleaning
  • ✗Significantly more expensive than dedicated hard-floor washers
  • ✗Heavier to maneuver than a standard V15 with the wet head attached
  • ✗Replacement rollers and filters add to long-term cost
