Status
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.
