Overall a great cordless vacuum!
I purchased this three weeks ago. Overall, I am very happy with the performance of this vacuum. I love the laser light on the hard floor attachment. Although I wish it had a laser light coming off each side for even better lighting, especially during the day. I have a small 500 square foot studio apartment, and the battery lasts fine for my space. I always have plenty of battery left when I am done vacuuming. The suction is excellent. I have been using an upright vacuum for many years that is of great quality and has been working great, but this cordless vacuum almost seems to outperform it. The one reason I really wanted to get this was for vacuuming a home vinyl dance floor that my upright vacuum was not doing as good of a job on. The vinyl dance floor has a micro-textured surface that really hangs onto things, and my upright vacuum was not doing a very good job of picking everything up. The soft brush head on the Dyson cordless works wonderfully and pretty much picks up everything on the first pass. The filtration on this cordless vacuum is great. I have not noticed anything coming out of the filter. I really wish this vacuum came with the flexible extension hose (I had to order it separately). Overall, the quality is good, although it is mostly made of plastic, and some of it feels a little flimsy and fragile, and I wonder how it will hold up over time. I am very satisfied with this purchase and highly recommend it.

Excellent Vacuum
Overall, the Dyson V12 Detect Slim is a high-performance vacuum. It's sleek, light, and is more powerful that it looks for its size. The battery lasts about an hour depending on the settings used, and the type of surface being cleaned. For example, cleaning bare hardwood floors will drain less battery than vacuuming high-pile, thick carpet. There is a readout on the back of the unit that provides information on the type of dust being collected. Most people probably won't use this, but I'm naturally curious and find this feature really cool. However, I wouldn't make a decision to buy/not buy based on this feature alone. The suction and filtration both caught me off guard. I had to change the power to its lowest setting while vacuuming my rugs because I couldn't move the vacuum. It is very powerful for its size. This is a closed filtration vacuum meaning all the dust is kept inside the bin or in a separate filter. It works very well, but it isn't HEPA. You'll need to look a tier up to get a HEPA filter. The dust collection bin is small; there's no other way to say it. However, this isn't a deep clean vacuum, so much as it is a maintenance vacuum. Heavier cleaning and cleanup will require a heavier vacuum. I purchased this during a sale so I got a significant discount, but having used it for a few weeks, I wouldn't have regretted paying full price. There are tons of attachments that can make your life easier. Practically every part, filter, batter, and attachment parts, are replaceable. This is a modern company making high-powered vacuums that are built to last. And when age takes hold, they offer options to fix, rather than replace the entire unit. I appreciate this a lot and is the main reason I purchased a Dyson. If you've been on the fence about getting a Dyson, this is your sign to take the leap. I would do it all over again in a hearbeat.

Great for hard floors!
I love the hard floor attachment with the light! It is wonderful for managing my “cat litter” problem.

Attachments Don't Fit
The attachments do not fit into the motor part of the vacuum. You can't barely get them to click in place and even if you do, you can't get them apart again. And you need to constantly take it apart and put it back to empty the bin. Very frustrating. And this is the second V12 I bought and they both had the same problem. It is a shame because I love the vacuum!! It is lightweight, the perfect size and I love the power button that stays on.
