i was leaning toward the dyson v15 detect based on its advanced features and I appreciate the confirmation i just want to double check. do you think the dyson v11 origin would still be a solid choice for my professional cleaning needs? If the v11 can handle my daily job, I would be happy to save a bit and go with it instead but if the v15's extra power and features truly make a big difference in the long run i am willing to invest the extra.
