Pros & cons
Dyson V8 Cyclone
- ✓150AW matches the V12 Detect Slim for hundreds less
- ✓60-minute max runtime, up from 40 on the old V8
- ✓De-tangling Motorbar cleaner head handed down from the flagships
- ✓Whole-machine sealed filtration captures 99.99% of 0.3-micron particles
- ✓5.9 lbs — lighter than the V15 and Gen5detect
- ✓Compatible with existing V8 attachments
- ✗Hold-down trigger rather than the newer models' power button
- ✗No auto-adjusting suction, laser, or particle sensor — two manual modes only
- ✗Sealed filtration but not HEPA-rated like the V15/Gen5
- ✗Too new for long-term reliability reports
- ✗Rarely discounted yet, unlike the mature Detect models
Dyson Omni-glide
- ✓Extremely lightweight and easy to maneuver one-handed
- ✓Omnidirectional head fits into gaps as small as 8 inches
- ✓Lies flat for cleaning fully under low furniture
- ✓Two power modes and quick handheld conversion for spot cleans
- ✓Cheapest full-size Dyson stick that's still current, not a legacy leftover
- ✗Not designed or marketed for carpet — hard floors and low-pile only
- ✗20-minute max runtime is short even for a compact stick
- ✗50ml dustbin needs emptying constantly on anything but a quick tidy
- ✗No published air-watts suction figure, only motor wattage
