I am a fragile girl, and I used to deal with large corded vacuum cleaners on wheels. It has always taken a lot of time and effort. But, with the Dyson V12, cleaning is a pleasure! Its charge and trash can easily cover our 250 square feet carpeted apartment. Easy to clean up on the second level! I really like the counter of different dust particles. I like the green backlight, highlighting the dust on the floor. It picks up hair very well and I’m not afraid to get a longhaired cat) Highly recommend!

I love how easy this is to use! I finally admitted that my old vacuum just wasn’t getting the job done. It was fine for floors but wasn’t capable of anything else, and I had pet hair on surfaces that it couldn’t handle. I gave in and got this vacuum for it’s light weight and improved suction and I love it. My house is so much cleaner because it’s just so much easier to clean now. Two minor complaints. 1. I didn’t realize that I would have to take the attachment off every time I needed to empty the bin, which got a little annoying when I was doing the whole house and constantly emptying, but now with smaller cleanups, it’s not as much of a problem. 2. I’m constantly vacuuming up cat litter, and I mostly use the Motorbar cleaner head. Well the head has a row of bristles on the back that sweeps everything when you are pushing the head forward. Well, I was used to using my old vacuum in both a forward and a backward motion, but pulling the head backwards through dirt and cat litter just pushes it around. I just have to relearn how to vacuum, lol.

We have beach sand, dog hair & forest floor debris to keep at bay. This little machine makes the quick cleanups easy. It really does suck, too! (Had to put that one in!) The only disadvantage so far is that the bin doesn’t hold hardly anything and my wife cannot get the big wraps of hair that the V12 collects. So, I constantly get called in for bin dumping duty.

I used to have a canister vacuum for years until it broke recently so I decided to try something new and bought the Dyson V12. I have wood & tile floors with throw carpets. I was amazed at how much cat hair it got up from the carpets! I do love the green light that shows all the dirt on the floor. My house has never been cleaner! It’s easy to do touch ups everyday. I was hesitant about buying it because I wasn’t sure about not having a bag for the dirt, etc. It is easy to empty, however, not everything comes out. A lot of hair gets stuck in there so I have resorted to using an old chop stick to get the hair out and that seems to work. I just keep it next to my waste basket. I used the small attachment today to vacuum the car. A small piece of material immediately came off… it’s probably there to help avoid scratching.. but the vacuum worked great. I am happy with my purchase!

I have been an Oreck girl for decades, and we bought a new one with an extra long cord when we recently moved into our new larger house…but I soon began dreading all the vacuuming that needed done. I tired of going back to unplug the cord, re-plugging it in a new spot because it wouldn’t reach where I needed it to, and constantly watching out for the cord being in my way. We have a golden retriever, so dog hair all over the floor is a daily event! My friend has a cordless Dyson and after hearing my lament about vacuuming, she said I had to buy a cordless Dyson, that it would change my life…well, she was right. I now feel no dread, and actually the opposite, a bit of delight, when it’s time to vacuum! The laser is amazing, and makes me feel so accomplished because I can see all the dog hair I’m sucking up. The V12 is light, easy to get into all the tiny places that my Oreck didn’t, and it’s a relief to only vacuum as long as the battery lasts, which is about half an hour on the medium setting. It’s ten times as easy to vacuum the stairs as before, and basically, I’m delighted I have my Dyson. I will never go back. If you’re on the edge, I say go for it. You won’t be sorry, and you may find your new vacuum really is life changing!

I’ve been really satisfied with this after using for a month. The performance is great and I was able to replace my upright vacuum. My only complaint is that there is no clean or organized way to place all the tools. There is no accessory holder that I am aware of.

I love the vacuum. My only call-outs are that the emptying process is inconvenient, and you must remove any brush heads and extenders to empty the bin. It’s not like my V8, which was a one-button empty. The bin is very small on this vacuum, I also think the color could have been better. I love the green laser – it’s a feature we didn’t know we needed but are glad we now have!
