SHWK 11/15 Dyson V15 Detect Cordless Vacuum with Cleaner Heads
The high-torque cleaner head drives deep into carpets capturing ground-in dirt, while an anti-tangle comb helps to prevent hair wrap. And a precisely angled laser reveals microscopic dust on hard floors.

A cleaner, cleanser or cleaning operative is a type of industrial or domestic worker who is tasked with cleaning a space. A janitor (US and Canada), also known as a custodian, porter or caretaker, is a person who cleans and might also carry out maintenance and security duties. A similar position, but usually with more managerial duties and not including cleaning, is occupied by building superintendents in the United States and Canada and by site managers in schools in the United Kingdom.
According to the Cambridge English dictionary a "cleaner" is "a person whose job is to clean houses, offices, public places, etc.:"; the Collins dictionary states that: "A cleaner is someone who is employed to clean the rooms and furniture inside a building." However, a cleaner does not always have to be employed and perform work for pay, such as in the case of volunteer work or community service. "Cleaner" may also refer to cleaning agents e.g. oven cleaner, or devices used for cleaning, e.g. vacuum cleaner.
Cleaning operatives may specialize in cleaning particular things or places, such as window cleaners, housekeepers, janitors, crime scene cleaners and so on. Cleaning operatives often work when the people who otherwise occupy the space are not around. They may clean offices at night or houses during the workday.
The term cordless is generally used to refer to electrical or electronic devices that are powered by a battery or battery pack and can operate without a power cord or cable attached to an electrical outlet to provide mains power, allowing greater mobility. The term "cordless" should not be confused with the term "wireless", although it often is in common usage, possibly because some cordless devices (e.g., cordless telephones) are also wireless. The term "wireless" generally refers to devices that use some form of energy (e.g., radio waves, infrared, ultrasonic, etc.) to transfer information or commands over a distance without the use of communication wires, regardless of whether the device gets its power from a power cord or a battery. The term "portable" is an even more general term and, when referring to electrical and electronic devices, usually means devices which are totally self-contained (e.g., have built-in power supplies, have no base unit, etc.) and which may also use wireless technology.

A vacuum (pl.: vacuums or vacua) is space devoid of matter. The word is derived from the Latin adjective vacuus (neuter vacuum) meaning "vacant" or "void". An approximation to such vacuum is a region with a gaseous pressure much less than atmospheric pressure. Physicists often discuss ideal test results that would occur in a perfect vacuum, which they sometimes simply call "vacuum" or free space, and use the term partial vacuum to refer to an actual imperfect vacuum as one might have in a laboratory or in space. In engineering and applied physics on the other hand, vacuum refers to any space in which the pressure is considerably lower than atmospheric pressure. The Latin term in vacuo is used to describe an object that is surrounded by a vacuum.
The quality of a partial vacuum refers to how closely it approaches a perfect vacuum. Other things equal, lower gas pressure means higher-quality vacuum. For example, a typical vacuum cleaner produces enough suction to reduce air pressure by around 20%. But higher-quality vacuums are possible. Ultra-high vacuum chambers, common in chemistry, physics, and engineering, operate below one trillionth (10−12) of atmospheric pressure (100 nPa), and can reach around 100 particles/cm3. Outer space is an even higher-quality vacuum, with the equivalent of just a few hydrogen atoms per cubic meter on average in intergalactic space.
Vacuum has been a frequent topic of philosophical debate since ancient Greek times, but was not studied empirically until the 17th century. Clemens Timpler (1605) philosophized about the experimental possibility of producing a vacuum in small tubes. Evangelista Torricelli produced the first laboratory vacuum in 1643, and other experimental techniques were developed as a result of his theories of atmospheric pressure. A Torricellian vacuum is created by filling with mercury a tall glass container closed at one end, and then inverting it in a bowl to contain the mercury (see below).
Vacuum became a valuable industrial tool in the 20th century with the introduction of incandescent light bulbs and vacuum tubes, and a wide array of vacuum technologies has since become available. The development of human spaceflight has raised interest in the impact of vacuum on human health, and on life forms in general.

Just received my new, Dyson V15 vacuum. I now own two cordless and 3 other Dyson vacuums. They never disappoint. I have not yet tried the new, floor roller head, but I am sure it will be fantastic. Cannot understand anyone not liking these Dyson cordless vacuums. I find them amazing and far superior to any other cordless brands.

We upgraded from the V11 Torque. This new V15 is phenomenal! It’s lightweight and the gold color is beautiful. I cleaned our house and collected 3 canisters full of dog hair and dust. It’s by far the most powerful one we have owned!
by Gary
I love my dyson cordless! It has replaced my plug in because I can use it everywhere in the house. It goes under furniture easily so I can get under sofa, chairs and bed. Its manageable and though I have owned many vacuums over the years-this is my favorite and hope to use it for years to come!
by Maggie
Really happy with this purchase, the laser on the hard wood attachment makes vacuuming so satisfying and we have found works best in dim light or at night! Only wish there was also a laser on the carpet attachment for the same visibility!

I’ve been wanting a Dyson ever since I saw the v11. Unfortunately, my income doesn’t allow for such pricey purchases. After years of getting asthma from $60 vaccums & lots of research, I tried to find a vacuum I could get with a smaller pricetag. In the end, I always ended up with Dyson’s v11 being #1 and worth the cost. My main source for education on current vacuums and old was Vacuum Wars on YouTube. I definitely have to give a nod to them for their truly informative videos. They are unbiased, for the most part. As I was deciding between the V15 and the new vacuum created by previous employees of Dyson I finally purchased the V15. Everything about this vacuum is all I imagined it would be and more! It’s definitely made vacuuming my home that is full of carpeting & hard laminate floors a lot more enjoyable. The complaints I have are for one, the fact that the light up purple wand is not included with the package that I purchased from QVC. The Dyson V15 Detect is advertised with that specific attachment in every video or picture you see. This wand was one of the main reasons I chose the V15 over competitors! I wasn’t too disappointed until I went to purchase this attachment from the Dyson website, only to find it out of stock ever since the V15 has been released. I just hope that they restock this attachment at some point before I die. Secondly, I would recommend that the inventors or creators of Dyson’s V series vacuums somehow integrate some type of comfort or padding on the dustbin handle area where your hand goes. The area that my hand goes into tends to hurt right where my thumb is attached to my hand. I’ll be making some sort of padded comfort grip on my own. After a Good 30 minutes of vacuuming you will see what I mean when you have a red mark on your hand from the weight of the vacuum either putting pressure or rubbing against this area. Overall though, unless weight is a huge factor for you, I highly recommend you invest in a Dyson V15 as well. A hypoallergenic filter has definitely proven to improve the air quality in our home. The bumpers on the brush attatchment of the vacuum along with the flexibility has made for a gentle glide along my cupboards walls & baseboards. Maneuvering this vacuum makes life so much easier for me considering I have pets who have hair that gets everywhere. The way it goes from hard floors to carpeting is quite useful, although the hard floor brush is the best. I am very happy they included it with this model. The battery life & the hard floor attachment with a green light are the main reasons I chose this model rather than an older one. Buying this product through QVC was how I was able to afford it, I’m not going to lie, it was a bit tight there for a while making the $200 payments monthly… But well worth it in the end! Thank you QVC, for making this possible. Oh and “Hey…Dyson…Restock the light up wand!”

This Dyson is simply perfection! It cleans like no other I have two other Dyson‘s and I adore them both but this one is top notch cleans so well and with the lighted vacuum head you can see places you’ve missed. You will be amazed what it picks up that was left behind. It definitely is an investment but to have the feeling of cleanliness in your home makes it worth it.

I wasn’t too sure about this vacuum until I read a review about it. Once I got it, I tried it out on a rug. I was surprised on how much stuff went into the bin using the regular vacuum head. Then I tried the soft roll with the laser. The laser showed where the dust and fine particles were located. This is my third Dyson vacuum.
