The V15s Detect is essentially the V15 Detect vacuum with an additional wet floor cleaning head, the Submarine, which you can use for mopping, although it can’t steam or sterilize a floor. Please note that the motorized parts of the two vacuum cleaner models are not interchangeable: if you already have a V15 Detect, you cannot buy a Submarine head for it.
With the V15s Detect you get the Submarine Wet Roller, the Digital Motorbar for carpets, the Fluffy Optic cleaning head for hard floors, the Hair Screw tool, a crevice tool, a combination tool, a transparent rod clip, a drip tray, the charger and a docking station. It is the complete cleaning package, with a tool for every floor type and situation.
We found the submarine head to be a very effective mop alternative. You can use it with plain water or dish soap. But it is best for regular cleaning: it will not be effective on stubborn dirt. It’s also self-propelled, which is a plus considering the vacuum’s 3.75kg weight (plus a little more when the water tank is full) and the fact that the trigger is back – you have to hold it down when the vacuum is in use .
It’s a pricey proposition, but if you’re looking for a vacuum for carpets, hard floors, and mopping, this is the best all-in-one option available right now.
Buy it if: You want one vacuum that can do it all, and you don’t mind paying for it.
