I never thought the day would come that I’d be excited about a vacuum cleaner. Yet, here we are. There are vacuum cleaners, and there are Dyson vacuum cleaners. I’ve been using the Dyson V12 Detect Slim to tackle my spring cleaning and can report that it’s more than worth all the #CleanTok hype.

Cleaning feels almost effortless with a cordless vacuum cleaner as lightweight and powerful as the Dyson V12 Detect Slim. As its name might suggest, it’s very slim. At just about five pounds, the vacuum is unbelievably easy to maneuver, store and clean.

First off, the beauty of the V12 Detect Slim all starts with turning the cleaning appliance on. After borrowing my neighbor’s V8 Absolute for years, I was excited to see the on/off button on this new model that allows for continuous operation. Gone are the days of having to hold down a dreaded trigger the entire time you’re vacuuming, which always left my wrists feeling strained.

Dirt and dust can’t hide from this vacuum, thanks to Dyson’s innovative laser beam, Yes, there is a laser on this vacuum that actually makes the chore kind of fun. A precisely angled green light highlights microscopic pieces of debris, making invisible dust visible on hard floors. Living in a dry climate like Los Angeles, dust is simply an inevitable part of my life. The V12’s laser shows you the areas in your home that need attention, which ultimately leads to a better, deeper clean.

Adding to the laser’s efficiency, there’s also a colorful LCD screen on the Dyson vacuum that shows what’s being picked up. I love watching the vacuum show me the amount and size of the dust it’s grabbing along with its run time and different power levels. It’s almost like the vacuum is just showing off how good it is at devouring every particle that dares to stand in its way.

From my living room rug to the kitchen’s hardwood floors, this model is versatile and comes with six cleaning attachments. With just the click of a button, the Dyson V12 Detect Slim converts into a handheld vacuum that can tackle upholstery, walls and any tricky crevices. The best attachment is the Motorbar cleaner head that is designed to automatically untangle hair from the brush bar. For getting those hard-to-reach corners, the Crevice Tool nails the job every time.

If you have the budget, and you need a cleaning machine with all the bells and whistles that leaves your home feeling cleaner and fresher, I wouldn’t look any further than the Dyson V12 Detect Slim vacuum. Even better, the game-changing vacuum is currently on sale for $170 off, making this one of the best Dyson deals out there.
