Dyson V15s Detect Submarine Review - Dyson's First Mopping Vacuum TESTED!

welcome to vacuum Wars and to our review of the Dyson v15s submarine cordless vacuum it's Dyson's first vacuum that can be used as a mop as well we bought one and put it through all kinds of tests this week and in this video I'll go over everything you need to know about it both the good stuff and the bad stuff so links in the description and let's get started first the basics the Dyson v15s is available in two different packages the v15s detect submarine and the v15s absolute submarine with the main differences being that the absolute version has a slightly better filter which is blue instead of purple and it has the built-in dusting and crevice tool option where the non-absolute version is basically the same as the original Dyson v15 detect I'll start off by talking about the Dyson v15s submarine as a normal cordless vacuum the v15s is really similar to Dyson's previous v15 which is a good thing because the v15 is still one of our favorite cordless vacuums ever for example the v15s submarine has very similar suction and airflow numbers as the original v15 in fact pretty much all of its performance metrics are comparable to the previous v15 its pickup arguably its main job was incredibly good it comes with two dry vacuum heads the new digital motor bar head which is a combination head meaning that it can be used for both hard floors and carpets and it did excellent with both surface types and our tests the motor bar head has adjustable Gates on the front and Dyson's new anti-hair tangle system which removes hair from the roller as you vacuum which we found to be very effective in multiple tests the so-called fluffy optic cleaner head is a soft Roller Head designed exclusively for hard floors but is really good for hard floors it picks up fine debris pet hair and even large debris with Incredible ease it also has a green laser mounted on the side which is pointed at a precise angle to reveal dust on the floor that you can't normally see and I've really enjoyed using this at my house though it does make me realize is exactly how much hair my cats shed the word detect in its name also refers to the fact that it has a built-in particle counter which enables two important features the first is that the v15s will automatically adjust its suction power up or down depending on how dirty the floor is this vastly improves battery efficiency and performance over vacuums that don't have it but it also enables the ability to see the sizes of particles that the vacuum picks up displayed on its LCD screen the LCD screen also displays real-time remaining battery life numbers which change depending on which attachment and which power level you're using speaking of battery life the v15s submarine seems to have the exact same battery specifications as the previous v15 which we found to be incredibly efficient way higher than average in most respects Dyson says it can get 60 Minutes on low power it has an easy to remove battery as well in case you wanted to buy extras the v15s comes with a wall mount a combo dusting brush a crevice tool as well as a motorized upholstery brush which also has an anti-hair tangle system if you have the absolute version it will also have the built-in crevice tool dusting brush which can be really handy for quick above floor cleaning tasks the filtration is extremely good it has Dyson's whole machine HEPA filtration which is only available on high-end cordless vacuums like this as I mentioned before the absolute version does have a slightly upgraded HEPA filter alright let's move on to the star of this particular show the new submarine wet Roller Head the submarine head is a standalone electric mopping attachment in which you fill a small Reservoir with water and it will dispense the water onto the spinning soft roller so that you can mop the floors as it mops it sort of squeegees dirty water into its internal Reservoir to be emptied later Dyson says it covers one thousand square feet per tank of water the submarine head cannot be used with previous Dyson models not even the previous v15 it's a programming issue which is why Dyson does not sell this attachment separately since it only works with the v15s submarine the submarine head does not vacuum per se there is no airflow or suction and no opening at the end of the head so it doesn't suck water all the way up to the handle all of the mopping is done mechanically if you will we tested this in a variety of ways and found that it was really excellent for tough dried on stains which in my opinion is the real job of an electric mop and here the submarine head did not disappoint mopping up most of these really tough dried on stains in one or two back and forth passes which is really good I also found that it did well in the real world tests at my house I really liked its maneuverability its swivel and small size make it really easy and even kind of fun to use I would however say that the Dyson submarine head should be used after vacuuming your floors in other words I think it should be a two-staged process vacuum first then attach the mop head and mop this is because at least in our tests it was not very good with picking up dry debris or large wet spills it really doesn't seem to have a good way to process a lot of debris or even small amounts of debris there just isn't enough space between the roller and the housing by Design so only the smallest debris even makes it into the dirty water reservoir so vacuuming first is a must in my opinion I also didn't think it was great for large wet spills it can process a small amount of liquid fairly well but the bigger the spill is the more likely it is to get overloaded and leave streaks behind the head that are hard to pick up the submarine head is fairly easy to clean one of the big downsides of full vacuum and mop combos in my opinion is that they get really dirty all throughout the machine like the hoses and every nook and cranny and have to be thoroughly cleaned after each use but the Dyson submarine head is really small and self-contained so it can only get so dirty so this is my takeaway with the Dyson v15s submarine as far as value it's expensive but it's currently the same price as the Dyson Gen 5 detect which is very similar to the v15s submarine except that the Gen 5 does doesn't come with a submarine wet roller so in my mind it seems like a really good value as a cordless vacuum it's right up there with the best of the best its suction features and dry attachments are literally state of the art as a mop it's uniquely good with the most important stuff such as scrubbing dried on stains and generally mopping floors and it's incredibly easy to use but it does not process large wet spills very well and it wasn't good at all at picking up debris so once again I recommend vacuuming before mopping and you'll be just fine links in the description and be sure to subscribe to vacuumores before you leave
