Compare Dyson vacuum technology
From bigger cleaner heads to laser detection and beyond, compare Dyson cordless vacuums for seamless cleaning.

The cord-free revolution
From bagged to cordless stick vacuums, Dyson’s floor technology is ever evolving. “Today, 11 years since the launch of our first cord-free vacuum, we have a suite of cord-free vacuums engineered for every cleaning need”, states John Churchill, Dyson’s Vice President of Floorcare. “We’ve constantly improved all our pioneering technology and introduced new technologies like our laser head and dust detect. It’s an exciting time for us.”
With the Dyson range of vacuum cleaners continuing to expand and develop at pace, this guide shows you how to choose a vacuum cleaner that’s right for you. Here, we discuss the difference in tools in Dyson Outsize vs V15, and Dyson V11 vs V15. Read on to discover your next advanced cleaning solution.
Compare Dyson cordless vacuums
Dyson engineers respond to common problems with radical solutions. Inside the science that makes up our machines is filtration and motor technology unmatched anywhere else. Here we deep dive into the features of our range, including the Dyson V8 vs V10, for seamless technology compatibility.
