As someone with mainly hard floors in my home, my reliable vacuum cleaner is constantly in use. But, no matter how often I clean, dust balls inevitably reappear, hiding in corners or beneath the sofa shortly after. That’s why one often-underrated feature on my Dyson cordless vacuum has become essential to my cleaning routine.
Admittedly, when Dyson first introduced this feature on select models years ago, I dismissed it as a fancy 'gimmick' that I would never end up using. Additionally, it was pretty hit-and-miss among some consumers who weren't convinced either.
However, after using it in my own home for everyday cleaning, I've become completely reliant on it. Even better, my son finds this a 'fun' feature that has now turned cleaning into something he actually enjoys, and it's so simple.
Dust (busting) detecting laser light
Dyson’s Fluffy Optic head attachment is a simple yet genius feature that I simply can’t clean without. Essentially, this uses a laser to reveal hidden dust lurking in your home that we can’t ordinarily see.
I was first won over after testing the Dyson V15s Detect Submarine Vacuum Cleaner. With this attachment, I was able to swiftly maneuver my cordless vacuum throughout the house, easily spotting concealed dust and debris, especially in hard-to-reach places. It was particularly useful when cleaning late at night or in my poorly lit rooms upstairs, and it soon became my go-to floor head I relied on to clean my home properly — leaving all my other attachments collecting dust (no pun intended).
This green laser light feature has made me realize that my house is not always as clean as I think it is, which resolves my dust-busting anxieties.
It's no surprise that Dyson's newest vacuums, such as the new Piston Animal cordless model (set for an upcoming U.S. launch), concentrate on the laser detection green light integrated into the FluffyCones head.
I absolutely love mine for cleaning under my sofa, bed, corners, or tackling dark spots a breeze — plus, it’s somewhat gratifying to see all the hidden dust specks and grime so you'll never miss a spot.
Perhaps what’s even more gratifying is the fact that my son no longer finds cleaning his room a boring chore. He now happily grabs the vacuum, captivated by the 'cool' green laser light as he dusts his bedroom — a win-win for everyone!
