This video compares the Dyson V11 and V12 Detect cordless vacuums, highlighting their similarities and differences to determine which model best suits various needs. The comparison covers features, nozzles, airflow, cleaning performance, run time, and noise levels.
The Dyson V12 Detect has a smaller dustbin capacity of 0.35 liters, compared to the larger capacity of the Dyson V11 (the exact capacity of the V11 is not specified in the transcript).
The Dyson V11 uses a trigger switch, while the Dyson V12 Detect uses a button switch.
The transcript states the V12 Detect comes with more tools out-of-the-box, including an under-appliance tool and a light saber crevice tool. However, the exact contents may vary depending on the retailer. The V11 only includes the Torque Drive nozzle.
The V12 Detect performed better in surface dirt cleaning tests, primarily due to its laser slim roller attachment which has a better seal (a rubber flap behind the brush) than the V11's Torque Drive nozzle. This better seal funnels dirt towards the brush more effectively.
