Duel comparison: Dyson Omni-glide vs V12 Slim Absolute

From this first round, our two competitors show their differences. The Dyson Omni-glide adopts a straight grip that differs from most Dyson devices, including its competitor of the day. As for the suction head of the Omni-glide, it adopts a particular shape which allows it to accommodate two Fluffy brushes.

As a reminder, the Fluffy head consists of two rollers rotating in the opposite direction and four small 360 ° rollers which offer incomparable maneuverability to the Omni-glide – and which of course does not have the V12 Slim with its suction head. quite classic.

Lab – The shapely head of the Dyson Omni-glide stick vacuum

The Dyson Omni-glide is the lightest vacuum cleaner in our comparison (1.78 kg). If it is a tad heavier (2.4 kg), the V12 Slim remains a light device and easy to transport.

Unlike its competitor, the V12 Slim displays, through the screen on the handle, the remaining level of autonomy. We sorely regret this absence on the Omni-glide, since it will be difficult to anticipate the exhaustion of the battery …

The Omni-glide has two powers, selectable from the handle on which there is simply a duo of buttons. The V12 Slim offers three suction powers (Eco, Inter, Boost).

For the first time, Dyson adopts continuous suction on these two devices. Until now, you had to keep a trigger pressed continuously so that the vacuum cleaner does not stop working.

On the accessories side, the V12 Slim comes with a soft head (with the laser), a motorized brush with hard bristles and a mini motorized conical self-detangling brush. There is also an elbow tube to facilitate the use of the vacuum cleaner under furniture, a stiff brush, a long nozzle, the brush acting as a crevice tool, a storage clip to attach to the suction tube and a base wall-mounted for storage which also acts as a charging base.

As for the Dyson Omni-glide, it is supplied with an angled crevice tool, a long nozzle equipped with a retractable brush, a long nozzle with LEDs (to light up tight and dark places) and a motorized mini-brush for vacuuming the above sofas or upholstery.

Note that these two stick-format vacuum cleaners do not stand up on their own and can therefore be stored on a wall base. Due to its straight handle, the Omni-glide cannot be hung on it and it will therefore be necessary to install a small base at a very specific height so that the stick vacuum cleaner also rests on the ground; a maneuver that does not prove to be the most practical.

The V12 Slim Absolute wins this round with a short head.
