Dyson V12 Detect Slim review: Value for money product

With the rise in concerns around indoor air pollution globally and specially in India, has made people more aware about the role and importance of vacuum cleaners in the house. Now, many companies are trying different ways to tap the smart vacuum cleaner market for homes.

One such company Dyson recently launched a new generation of cord-free vacuum cleaner - the 'Dyson V12 Detect Slim' to India, a successor of popular Dyson V11 Absolute Pro. Priced at Rs 58,900, it is engineered to detect hidden dust as small as 10 microns and equipped with an acoustic piezo sensor to enable scientific proof of what's been sucked up. This new Dyson technology will redefine deep cleaning in Indian households, the company claims. We used this incredible piece of tech from Dyson for more than two weeks and here's my view on the same.  

In terms of design, build and looks, the Dyson V12 Detect Slim has ticked almost all the right boxes here. Let me tell you - this advanced vacuum cleaner is very easy to use and very light to use. The Dyson V12 Detect Slim has a clear-cut superiority over the current robotic vacuum cleaners available in the market. According to the company, the vacuum uses a 'Hyperdymium' motor which generates up to 150 air watts of powerful suction and 5-stage filtration captures 99.99 per cent of dust particles down to 0.3 microns for a powerful deep clean. As I said, the company mentioned that is capable of detecting, removing, sizing and counting microscopic dust.

Laser dust detection reveals dust particles invisible to the eye, according to the company. Acoustic Dust Sensing provides reassurance that you have deep cleaned. The LCD screen shows the size and number of particles, displaying real-time scientific proof of a deep clean by counting and measuring microscopic dust particles with a piezo sensor, which automatically increases suction power across different floors types and dust amounts.

The vacuum uses adapted laser technology to reveal hidden dust, integrating a diode laser into the cleaner head that is precisely positioned at a 1.5-degree angle, 7.3mm off the ground to create the best contrast between dust and floor. The dust enters the vacuum and hits the acoustic piezo sensor within the bin inlet with the tiny vibrations being converted to electrical signals.
 
The major highlight of the device is that the dust size and quantity are shown on the in-built LCD screen, so that you can see how much dust the vacuum has removed, as well as the different sizes of particles and deliver scientific proof of a deep clean. The brand has integrated a green laser diode -- chosen for its ability to provide the best contrast -- into the Slim Fluffy cleaner head, positioning it precisely at a 1.5-degree angle, 7.3mm off the ground.

The Dyson V12 Detect Slim has been designed so that it automatically increases suction power when it comes across a large amount of dust. This happens in auto mode, when the piezo sensor detects high concentrations of dust, and reactive suction power is triggered to automatically increase in power. When dust levels normalise, suction power is reduced to its previous level. The Dyson cyclone technology is efficient at separating dust and dirt from floors and surfaces and whole machine sealing means this isn't leaked back into the home.

In terms of battery performance, with Dyson V12 Detect Slim, you can expect up to 60 minutes of cleaning time using the Eco mode. Switch to Auto mode and the time drops to between 35 and 45 minutes depending on the dust and suction speed. Boost mode is one of the finest but it also drains the battery. h

Dyson V12 Detect Slim verdict: Priced at Rs 58,900, the Dyson V12 Detect Slim can be a perfect choice for those looking for premium vacuum cleaner. The build quality of the Dyson V12 Detect Slim is top-notch and everything is made of high-quality material.
