The Dyson V15 Detect does a pretty good job at picking up pet hair. It's got strong suction and a couple of smart features that make it effective. There are three modes you can switch between—Eco, Auto, and Boost.
For pet hair, especially on carpets and couches, the Boost mode really shines because it gives you the most suction. But keep in mind, it only runs for about 8 minutes on a full charge in that mode, which can be a bit of a pain if you're planning a long cleaning session. Some folks get around this by having an extra battery on hand, according to our research.
Auto mode is a solid middle ground. It automatically adjusts the suction based on the surface and debris. This is great for saving battery life, but it's sometimes less effective on pet hair because it can lower the suction if it thinks the floor isn't that dirty.
Eco mode is the most energy-efficient and gives you a much longer runtime. But it's not as strong when it comes to picking up heavier debris or a lot of pet hair, so it's better for lighter, everyday cleaning.
One really cool feature of the V15 Detect is its laser that highlights dust on hard floors, which is super handy for spotting pet hair you might otherwise miss. Plus, it's got an anti-tangle comb that stops pet hair from getting wrapped around the brush bar, which makes cleaning a lot easier.
Overall, the Dyson V15 Detect is pretty effective for pet hair. Just make sure you pick the right mode for your needs and maybe consider an extra battery if you have a lot of ground to cover.
