Dyson V6 Animal

Bought this vacuum and it worked well at first. Has decent enough suction for our hard wood floors. But the motorhead end has died twice now, the first time we bought another head to replace the one that stopped working. This time I won’t bother. I shouldn’t have to fork out $150 on a new motorhead, on an already expensive vacuum, every 12-24 months.

I love this stick vacuum. It's light and easy to grab at anytime to do a quick tidy. If you're like me and a bit of a clean freak, you'll find yourself using it several times a day. Great for tidying dog hair off your white tiles! If I was to fault it, I would say it's not so great at picking up larger bits of mess, eg. When your child drops rice cake crumbs all over the hard wood floors. I keep my larger Dyson vacuum around for deep cleans.

The clip on the end of the stick fell off. The head pieces fell off. The motor cuts in and out. It is a cheap worthless piece of crap ( Animal v6 )
Don’t touch them with a 20 foot stick !

By far the best vacuum cleaner I had ever used, when new, until it stopped working about a month later for no reason. It would just stop working while in use. The charger would still charge the battery. Like most warranties these days, the warranty was of course useless. Assuming I bought a lemon, I bought another one of the same model, to have it stop working again about 2 months later. So I then went to Kmart about bought a $40 vacuum cleaner and I've been using the same one for 2 years, even though it's suction isn't that great compared to the Dyson, it didn't cark it. After pulling both Dysons apart and meddling with the components and swapping them around, I managed to get one working, for another few weeks..

Fan of Dysons for years but this has been trouble from day 1. Works for minutes then gets blocked and stops. I cant get a decent run. Wouldnt recommend to anyone. Weve only had it just over 12 months and im already looking for a replacement.

Poor battery performance. Got it to use for the car and the house. Battery doesn't last long enough to do the house and now struggles to make the distance with the car. The fact that a car kit will cost you over $100 is also ridiculous. Regretting this purchase.

We have two cats live in the house and this vac just do right to clean up all the cats hair. work nicely on hard floor and carpet and it also easy to clean

After switching to a cordless vacuum, I don't think I could ever go back to a corded vacuum. The convenience of no cord is just too good!

Overall this is a very good vacuum for wood floors and carpet. The batteries usually last just long enough to quickly go over the whole house, but if you're being really thorough they tend to run out after roughly a little under 30 mins depending on how much you use the max setting--Not an issue for us, because who wants to vacuum for longer than 30 mins?

The only major pain with this vacuum for us is that it doesn't work all that great when it doesn't get proper airflow on rugs and will barely work, sometimes at all depending on the type of rug.

Nice product, very good suction. The battery lasts very long. Never had any issues. Easy to clean and easy to empty bucket. Easy to use. Very happy and highly recommended.

I purchased v6 pet stick it worked well for a couple of months then it stopped working . Dyson sent out a replacement part it didnt help . They sent out another replacement part it helped for a couple of weeks now it doesnt charge or stay on . Its now out of warranty sent them emails no reply . I would say out of Two years I got around 3 months of it working effectively . Extremely disappointed for the price .

This is perfect for my unit. It makes vacuuming really easy and has great suction. I used to have a large corded Dyson which worked great. However, being a unit I needed something that was smaller and easier to manoeuvre around small areas and this works perfectly.

Great little vacuum cleaner. I can clean my entire 1 bedroom apartment three times over on a single charge.
It never looses suction even when the battery is about to die.
Its also very useful for vacuuming a car if you don't have access to a power outlet.
In terms of after sales support Dyson is superb. Recently the battery in the vacuum died and with just an email Dyson sent me a new battery which was simple to install. Warranty is 5 years!
This vacuum is not ideal if you live in a bigger house as the battery life is just 20 minutes.

These are so handy as I have a small house m I can easily whizz around and get most done on a single charge. I could have spent more and got Thebes latest model as I’ve previously done but this one has been good enough and I’d highly recommend it for anyone thinking of getting one. We also got the full accessory kit thrown in which is handy for cleaning tricky spots like the car and around the base of furniture.

Brought the crap for about $800 .I use it once a week on a small house after 20 minutes of use it dies and now my battery has gone in it after 2 years. I don't use it everyday for the price I'm better of going to get a kmart one they last year's and years....that costs $100 .never buy a dyson don't waste your money. Trust me its not worth the pain and money

Great everyday vacuum for carpet or tiles with minimal suction loss
The battery life could be better I think the V11 has a much better battery life but could not afford the that modellove the wall mount charger and it hidden away easy

Fairly impressed with the convenience and suction of our stick vac but unfortunately the first battery died in just less than 2 years. Thankfully this was covered under the 2 year warranty. Then at 3 years old the motor head stopped working and after extensive testing via phone support I'm told I have to replace the whole motor head at my cost because the warranty has expired. So $125 later, I'm thinking it's not worth all the money to buy these machines if major parts need replacing after only 3 years!

I have used 2 different dyson stick vacuums in my home be a two level house. both have been a total waste of money. Constantly stop working and even after a full clean following instructions will only do one clean and then stop. One of them will not work on the rotating floor head. I do have a corded version and is doing ok. I don't think I would recommend or buy again :-(

It did not work on my carpet at all - you needed to be a weight lifter or walk backwards for it to work on my carpet. I was told by Dyson that maybe BigW should have warned me and I replied that maybe Dyson should have printed the same warning on the outside lable. No answer for that suggest from Dyson. Because I did not use my v cleaner for a few months after my purchase nobody wanted to know about my problem and had already put the box into the bin. Not a happy customer. I noticed it is discontinued - I wonder why?????
