Dyson Gen5detect
Dyson V15s Detect Submarine
When judged purely as a cordless stick vacuum, the Dyson Gen5detect is a slight upgrade over the Dyson V15s Detect Submarine. The Gen5detect feels a little sturdier, weighs a little less, and has a slightly more powerful motor, though there's little to differentiate the two vacuums when it comes to real-world performance. However, only the V15s is compatible with the Submarine mopping head, which is quite effective in clearing stains but has a couple of important caveats: it's a hassle to clean, is poorly sealed, incurs higher ownership costs, and has a limited overall range before you need to refill its tiny internal water reservoir.
