About This Vacuum
Suction power reaches 280 air watts in the Dyson Gen5detect Cordless Vacuum, 280AW, 3 Power Modes, Up to 70 Minutes,² Illumination Reveals dust, HEPA Filtration, All Floor Types. This stick vacuum runs on a rechargeable battery and operates without a cord. The machine uses a digital motor to generate suction across carpet, hardwood, tile, and other flooring. A laser positioned in the cleaner head projects green light along the floor. This beam makes fine particles visible that the eye would otherwise miss. An LCD screen displays particle counts in real time, sorting debris by size. Three power settings let you adjust output based on the task. Battery life extends up to 70 minutes in the lowest mode. Higher settings reduce that figure, so heavy cleaning depletes the charge faster. The HEPA filtration system captures particles down to 0.1 microns and traps them inside the unit. This model suits homes with mixed floor types and households where allergens are a concern. The particle display helps confirm when an area is clean. It also works well for spot checks after meals or pet activity. Owners should note the weight. At roughly 7.7 pounds, extended overhead cleaning can strain the arm. The bin holds 0.2 gallons, which requires periodic emptying during larger jobs. Charging a depleted battery takes about 4.5 hours. The price sits at $789.99, placing it at the upper end of cordless models.
