The Dyson V15 Detect cordless vacuum can deliver up to 60 minutes of suction on a single charge. Dyson claims the V15 has a five-stage filtration system that removes 99.99% of particles as small as 0.3 microns.

Dyson says this latest vacuum uses the Dyson Hyperdymium motor that generates up to 240 air watts of suction.

James Dyson said, “Our latest vacuums use optimized laser technology to reveal hidden dust, integrating a diode laser into the cleaner head that is positioned at a 1.5-degree angle, preventing dust and the floor. 7.3mm off the ground to create the best contrast between , Engineer and Founder.

The Dyson V15 Detect cord-free vacuum comes with 1.5 times more suction and 54% more bin capacity than the Dyson V12 Detect Slim Total Clean, the company said. It has an LCD screen to display the size and number of particles sucked.

An acoustic piezo sensor is integrated into the vacuum. The carbon fiber filaments in the cleaner head pick up fine particles that range in size and count up to 15,000 times a second. Dust enters the vacuum and collides with acoustic piezo sensors within the bin inlet, converting small vibrations into electrical signals. The size and amount of dust are shown on the in-built LCD screen, allowing the user to see how much dust the vacuum has removed, as well as the different sizes of particles.

The Dyson V15 Detect cord-free vacuum, priced at ₹62,900, is available at Dyson demo stores and via the company’s website starting July 25.
