I'm going to be comparing this to the Dyson v15 detect.
It's more lightweight which is a plus for me. The suction power is about the same between the two. They both have an "auto" mode that adjusts suction power, but the Dyson's is more accurate. This vacuum went into turbo mode a lot, which drained the battery quickly. On auto mode, the Dyson lasts around 45 mins-1 hour, and this vacuum lasts around 20-30 mins. Since my entire house is hardwood, staying on the lowest level is usually enough and makes the battery last much longer. The screen is more basic than the Dyson's. It tells you which power level it's on and also has 4 bars to indicate battery level. The Dyson wins this one, as it gives an actual time estimate for the battery and provides more detailed statistics. I can do without the stats, but a time estimate or percentage for the battery would be more helpful to me.
Now, the green light on the vacuum head. This one uses LEDs, so it won't be as bright as the Dyson's laser. You won't be able to see the dust with the light on (unlike the Dyson), but with the lights off or dimmed it's better. The light is really useful for illuminating all the pet hair and dust on the floors. This vacuum's canister also holds slightly less than the Dyson's, but not a huge deal to me.
I do appreciate all the extras that come with this vacuum too. Given that it's around 1/4 the price of the Dyson, I'd say it's pretty decent value. It's not replacing the Dyson, but I'd still recommend it for casual cleaning, especially given how light it is.
