Love it!

published

Perfect for my carpeted areas. Not as good on my tiles. So easy and suction is still amazing after 4 years use! Battery life is still perfect also. The only issue I have and it not really an issue is I have to clean the head out regularly due to the spinning brush getting long hair tangles as there is 3 girls in my house.

Purchased in October 2021 at Harvey Norman Appliances Physical Store for $499.00.

Great Vacuum. Terrible battery

published

The vacuum itself is great. It is so easy and works well. I am extremely disappointed with the quality of the batteries on the handheld cordless Dyson V6. I have had my Dyson for just over 4 years and I am on my third battery. The past two batteries have died on the two-year mark. The replacement cost of $85 is exorbitant, particularly since its life is so short. I don't use this every day. My mother's cheap handheld vacuum is still going without a battery replacement after 4 years. This is not good enough. The most expensive handheld vacuum on the market should have a quality battery. For this reason, I would not recommend it, unless you are happy to fork out $85 every two years.

Worth the hype

published

This vacuum works fantastically and is deserving of all the hype it receives. Dyson customer support is also amazing and will solve issues quickly if/ when they arise. The V6 is let down by the dust chamber, which is not as convenient to empty as the newer Dyson models, but I decided the price saving was worth it which is why I went with the V6. The 'Animal Extra' version also comes with a quite a few handy extra attachments to use with the vacuum.

Purchased in September 2021 at Dyson.

Most frustrating appliance ever

published

I've struggled for 18 months with this vacuum cleaner. Keep thinking it's me given all the great reviews it's got. I spend more time unblocking it than actually vacuuming. Anything bigger than biscuit crumbs get stuck at the top of the wand or in the bottom. You need a skewer to get the dirt out of the canister and you end up filthy! The canister comes off when you don't want it to and won't come off when you do. I hate this vacuum cleaner and have finally put it in the bin. My neighbour by the way has the same model and gave up months ago. I'm going back to Hoover.

Purchased in March 2021 for $549.00.

Absolutely love this vacuum

published

We actually bought this vacuum in Australia and bought it home with us to NZ as we were visiting with my daughter and her family and they have one. It is very light and very easy to use. My old vacuum was great but too heavy. I noticed with this one even my two young grandsons could grab it and do their rooms with ease. I have also convinced my mum to buy one as well. It seems fine on any floor surface. We have it hanging up in a cupboard. Just a case of grab it, use it, empty it and hang it up again. Couldn't be easier.

Dyson v6 animal.

published

I have had the Dyson v6 animal for around 1 mth now and i was a little concerned at first. One being the price but i cannot talk this beauty up enough. It's light and so easy to use. No cords to trip over and it attaches to the wall so it's out of the way. It has so much power. With my busy family of 5 it definitely gets a workout.
I highly recommend this vacuum cleaner. Never going back now.

Dyson keep upping their game

Yet again, really impressed with Dyson. Prior to this had another model. This hand stick is light weight and picks up after a toddler and baby; from hard wooden floors to carpet and tiles. Easy and convenient to clean and empty.

Good but not as tough as I'd hoped

published

I've had this for about 12 months now. The suction is great on the power mode, but the average suction is only ok. We have floor boards so its useful but if you want it to suck up anything over dust its hard. A bread clip for example wont go up, neither will a twisty tie tag for a bag. The hair gets stuck in and around the middle part of it and its gross having to use your fingers to pull it out. Little pieces of cat food just get pushed away so you have to bend over and use a dustpan and broom anyway.

I have a cat at home and there are always hair everywhere on the floor. With the Dyson V6 vacuuming is easy and feel like less work! Highly recommended for pet owners.

Was a cynic when hubby bought it, but love it now!

published

So handy having a powerful little vac that you can grab for any of those little messes that the little ones or pets make! So good for the stairs as well. We have a ducted vacuum in our house and I haven't used it once since we got the dyson! My only whinge is that it doesn't last forever and takes ages to charge back up again, but I guess you just have to do little vacuum sessions more frequently.

Convenient but the battery does not last very long

Convenient but I wish the battery lasted longer that 10-15 minutes. It does a great job on sucking up daily life grime and accidental spills etc. Easy to used and very light weight.

My Dyson will not charge. When I press the start button it flashes red 34 times. Does it need a new battery?

Dyson Team ..Dyson

If your Dyson V6 is flashing a red light 34 times, it would indicate the battery on the machine would need to be replaced. You can purchase a replacement battery for the Dyson V6 here: https://shop.dyson.com.au/spare-parts/battery-967810-21

If your machine or current battery is under two years old, or you have any further queries, our Dyson Experts are available via [email protected] and we will be happy to help.

No, you can plug the charging cable straight into the port on the body of the unit itself. You don't have to use the mount at all to charge - it's mainly for storage convenience and it looks kinda cool.
