Gen5detect: Dyson announces its most powerful vacuum cleaner … and the most expensive

Dyson revolutionized the vacuum cleaner market, but it was still completely absent from a still young market, that of all-in-one vacuums capable of washing. With its Dyson V15 Detect Submarine, the English manufacturer intends to become the new reference for an ever cleaner and healthy interior.

Dyson: This new broom vacuum cleaner also promises to wash your floor in depth

Dyson revolutionized the vacuum cleaner market, but it was still completely absent from a still young market, that of all-in-one vacuums capable of washing. With its Dyson V15 Detect Submarine, the English manufacturer intends to become the new reference for an ever cleaner and healthy interior.

Dyson totally jostled the market for the trainee vacuum cleaner to start, before doing so with that of the broom vacuum cleaners. Each time, he managed to position himself with high -end products, today ranging from air purifiers to fans, including heating, devices to dry hands or hair straighteners. The English manufacturer goes to its first love, the treatment of floors with a Dyson V15 Detect Submarine, an all-in-one capable of aspire as well as cleaning the floors in depth.

A pressure brush

This new product is based on the latest Dyson V15 broom vacuum cleaner. He is added a new washing brush which as always at Dyson is a concentrate of technologies. Thus, it has an anti-defense brush that has already proven itself from the V11.

Added to this is a motorized microfiber roller which is dedicated to overturned liquids and stubborn spots. The roller humidification system includes eight steps, passing through a pressurized room for optimal distribution and humidification over the entire roller width.

To the 300 ml clean water tank – which should make it possible to clean 110 m² of floor according to Dyson – is added a second dedicated to dirty water of 360 ml.

Dyson also does not skimp on the suction part with an engine running at 125,000 rpm for a suction of 240 watts of air. We always have the filtration of microscopic particles, 99.99 % of the particles up to 0.3 micron are captured. In washing mode as suction, you will also have access to a report on cleaning performed, including the type of particles.

The Dyson V15 Detect Submarine wants to correct the faults of competing products and which are already well installed. However, offered at 849 euros, it is on average 50 to 25 % more expensive than its nearest competitors and while displaying a less imposing and many more technologies template. To see if these really make the difference.

Gen5detect: Dyson announces its most powerful vacuum cleaner … and the most expensive

Support, eliminate, filter ! His name will be Gen5detect and is announced as the most powerful of the Balais vacuum cleaners launched by Dyson. It will also be the most expensive. Before his arrival scheduled in France on May 17, 20 minutes was able to discover the new suction champion in preview, well decided to make a clean sweep of the smallest dust … to the virus, with a still unequaled level of suction by the British manufacturer.

War nerve in the face of dirt, microparticles and now viruses that invade and pollute our interiors slyly: the aspi engine. Dyson would produce one every 10 seconds and still wants to innovate. Whoever equips Gen5detect has nothing to do with his predecessors. It is notably 20 % denser than the one that equips the Dyson V10 vacuum cleaner launched in 2018. For each CM3 of the engine, 20 % more power is thus produced. It would also be, according to Dyson, 125 % more powerful than that of a V8 vacuum cleaner (2016).

The vacuum cleaner passes, the viruses trepass

Displaying 262 Air Watts on the clock (the air watts define the overall engine performance and allow you to compare the models), the Gen5detect would thus be a beast of sum. This real war machine will, according to Dyson, be able to vacuum, but also to eliminate using its HEPA filter, the particles of a size of 0.1 micron. Ouch !

The V15, which was previously the most efficient of Dyson vacuums (240 Air Watts), was not going beyond 0.3 micron. It doesn’t seem to be this story of microns, but the difference is highly symbolic. Explanations: allergens measure 0.3 micron. Viruses, but also the soot of diesel), 0.1 micron. A CAP is crossed. By way of comparison, the diameter of a hair is 70 microns ..

400 more grams

In hand, Gen5detect is a beautiful device with emblematic design of the brand. Small problem: if its engine is now lighter, the vacuum cleaner is paradoxically heavier than the V15 that it intends to surpass. And not just a little. This future model weighs 3.5 kg. It’s still 400 grams more than the weight of the V15 ! “It’s the battery”, we retort at Dyson France.

Offering a range of 70 minutes, 10 more minutes in Eco mode than that of that of its predecessor, the Gen5detect battery was therefore reworked to help us do the big cleaning at home without having to be recharged. Not sure that our arms last for so long, as the new vacuum cleaner with deported weight on the handle ends up weighing. The fact remains that its new design allows it to consume 50 % less energy than the V15 when recharging.

Particle meter

For its part, the V15 trigger has disappeared, in favor of an on/off button located on the top of the machine and a little less practical to our taste. This is also where the Gen5detect screen is found, with a new interface. In addition to the autonomy available to the device according to the chosen suction mode, it displays in real time the quantity of suckled particles and their size.

Not certain that this information captivates users of the future vacuum cleaner-balai that we can hardly imagine with the LCD screen on the LCD screen. Unless they want to be afraid, as by sucking the mattress of a bed, and that they see, in support, that they sleep on a real microparticles farming. Fun, moreover: according to Dyson, 30 % of French people consider that mattresses are the worst vectors of virus, but … 60 % never clean them ! Try … just to see the result !

The laser to … be scary !

But if it is an element of the gen5detect that fucks the scare … it is its laser brush ! Incorporating a green light into double intensity, it immediately becomes aware of the condition of our tiles and carpets. Sharing the ground over 30 cm, a light beam reveals in addition to small waste visible to the naked eye, clouds of invisible particles from which it is dotted. What encourage us to clean more applied and to iron several times if necessary on the same area to make room clear. And good point: the new Gen5detect pipe incorporates a long sucker. This is a first in the brand that had hitherto had to multiply accessories. We can thus go from the suction of the soil to that of a staircase, or on the surface of a piece of furniture without excessive manipulation: just declip the bottom of the pipe so that the sucker appears and can be used.

Launched on May 17, the Dyson Gen5detect will be doubtful the most effective British brand of the British brand. It will be supplied with its motorized micro brush, its soft brush, its long sucking (integrated) and its wall support. We will not fail to test it soon. But it will also be the most expensive: 999 euros, or 250 euros more than the Dyson Detect Absolute ! The price of technology ? Without a doubt. Maybe that of a brand leader. But it still starts to do well to clean up ..
