The V15s Detect is essentially the V15 Detect vacuum with an additional wet floor cleaning head, the Submarine, which you can use to mop – although it can’t steam or sterilise a floor. Keep in mind that the motorised parts of the two vacuum cleaner models are not interchangeable: if you already have a V15 Detect, you can’t buy the Submarine head for it.
With the V15s Detect, you’ll get the Submarine Wet Roller, the Digital Motorbar for carpets, the Fluffy Optic cleaner head for hard floors, the Hair Screw tool, a crevice tool, a combination tool, a transparent wand clip, a drip tray, the charger, and a docking station. It’s the complete cleaning package, with a tool for every floor type and situation.
We found the Submarine head to be a highly effective mop alternative. You can use it with plain water or with detergent. However, it’s most suitable for regular cleaning and may not be as effective on ingrained dirt. It’s also self-propelling, which is a plus considering the vacuum’s weight of 8.3lbs/3.75kg (plus a bit more when the water tank is full) and the fact that the trigger needs to be held down while the vacuum is in use.
While it may be a bit pricey, if you’re in need of a vacuum that can handle carpets, hard flooring, and mopping, this is currently the best all-in-one option available.
Consider buying it if: You’re looking for a versatile vacuum that can handle all your cleaning needs, and you’re willing to invest in quality.
