We also found that debris often gets stuck in the dustbin’s upper segment, requiring you to reach in and pull it out. The V12 Detect Slim ejects debris from the bin like a mini T-shirt cannon, an action that can easily lead to spills. In our tests, we had to empty the dustbin at least three times when cleaning a 650-square-foot space with pets. The V12 Detect Slim’s roughly 12-ounce dustbin is minuscule, capable of storing less than half as much debris as that of our other top pick. During our testing, it gave no indication that it would be more durable than other, more affordable cordless vacs like our other top pick-let alone plug-in vacuums, which typically clean better and cost less. Typically around $600, the V12 Detect Slim is pricey. This model has a three-year warranty-longer than the coverage on most other stick vacs we’ve tested. The battery charges in two hours (one of the fastest charge times we saw in our tests) and is compatible with a variety of Ryobi tools. The vacuum stands upright on its own and runs for about 35 minutes. Its motorized cleaner head works equally well on bare floor and carpet (you don’t have to swap brushes, as with the Dyson V12 Detect Slim), and it comes with a variety of useful attachments, including a motorized brush for pet hair and a surprisingly useful micro crevice tool for tight cracks. Its large, 27-ounce dustbin, which is more than double the size of our other top pick’s bin, won’t quickly fill up with debris or fur. In our tests, it offered outstanding performance, picking up debris particles of different sizes and weights on all types of floors. The Ryobi 18V One+ HP Cordless Pet Stick Vac Kit with Dual-Roller Bar is a well-rounded workhorse, though it’s heavy and harder to maneuver on stairs. Dyson covers it with a two-year warranty.
It takes four hours to recharge-longer than most other models-and doesn’t stand up on its own. You also have to swap between two different brushes depending on whether you use it on carpet or bare floor. The biggest downside of the V12 Detect Slim is its tiny, 12-ounce dustbin, which requires frequent emptying. It’s also one of the quietest models we’ve tested. It has high-tech features that make it almost fun to use, including a sensor that automatically adjusts suction, a laser headlight that illuminates dust in dim corners, and an LCD screen with a battery countdown and other information. It runs for 45 minutes on a single charge, longer than most of the other vacuums we’ve tested.
The V12 Detect Slim rivals more expensive vacuums (such as the Dyson V15) in suction, airflow, and cleaning power, and it comes with multiple brushes and attachments, including a motorized brush for pet hair. It’s light and nimble around furniture and on stairs, and it even works on shelves, walls, and ceilings. The Dyson V12 Detect Slim comes closer to an ideal stick vac than any model we’ve tested.
