Available6Measurementvacuumwars.com/dyson-v12-detect-slim-reviewRead 14 October 2026Review was last updated 14 August 2024 and says Dyson sells the V12 Detect Slim and the V12 Detect Slim Absolute. John Lewis lists the Absolute at 429.99 GBP on 2026-10-14. The unsealed suction row has two values and no clear columns, so it is not stored. Vacuum Wars gives no max-power run time for this vacuum. Its dust bin figures are 0.38 L in the spec table and 440 ml in the scorecard, so the bin is not stored.

25.69V1Retailer pageamazon.com/dp/B0GT28CSYMRead 14 October 2026Listing states power voltage 25.69 volts and seven lithium-ion cells. Not found on another source.

Battery capacityiPublished pack capacity at the nominal battery voltage. A cell count times a cell capacity, such as "8 x 3,200mAh", is not a pack capacity. The cell capacity is the pack capacity only when all cells are in series. That holds when the pack voltage divided by the cell count is one lithium-ion cell voltage, 3.6 or 3.7 V, such as 8 x 2,200mAh at 29.6 V. The source note shows the check. When the maker gives a rated and a nominal capacity, the one that matches its stated Wh at the pack voltage is stored.

Run time (claimed)iOne row per maker run time claim on one battery. Power level puts the maker's mode on a common scale. Lowest is the weakest setting, such as Eco or Min. Highest is the strongest, such as Boost, Max or Jet. Middle covers every setting between them. Claims that add a second battery are not stored. A handheld configuration without a motorized head counts as non-motorized tool. On hard floor with the main head counts as motorized floor head. Leave the tool out when the maker says neither or its own pages disagree, and name them in the source note. A machine with one power setting uses highest. When the maker gives a range, such as 20 to 25 min, the top of the range is stored and the range goes in the source note. A boost button or trigger counts as a setting, so a machine with one setting and a boost has a lowest and a highest row. A wet cleaning mode, such as Dyson Wet or Samsung WET, is not a power level, so it is not stored.
