The dust container of the Dyson V12 Detect Slim Absolute is relatively small, which can lead to frequent emptying, especially in larger living spaces or when cleaning up after pets.

- The dust container has a volume of around 0.38 litres (or 0.4 quarts).
- With a home of around 100 square metres and a dog, the container could fill up quickly, especially if the dog sheds a lot of fur or if the home is very dirty.
- It is advisable to empty the dust container regularly to ensure optimum hoover performance.
