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.

Purchased in October 2021.

Convenient but the battery does not last very long

published

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.

Amazing- Has changed the way I clean

published

I’ve had this vacuum for a few days and I love the Dyson Animal. Having a cordless vacuum is so convenient. I use this on carpet, tiles and floorboards and it cleans all surfaces very well. It is easy to empty the compartment when it’s full and has a variety of attachments for different cleaning tasks. The only slight negative is the 20min charge time is sometimes not enough if you are vacuuming the whole house throrougly but this is a small negative and I still think the positives out weigh this small negative. Must buy

Disappointed

published

I have laminate floors and a dog that sheds some fur.I got tired of dragging my big LG vac around and thought that the v6 would be ideal for spot cleaning. A few months ago I bought one and at first I was so impressed that I no longer vacuumed but instead Dysoned. Now,after 2 rooms(approx 3x3 each) the battery is shot.So now i drag my LG around and hang up the Dyson. Expensive hanging ornament.Would not recommend

Very convenient

published

It's very convenient than a corded vaccum cleaner any time the battery is good for a one bedroom apartment.The suction is great I love this vaccum cleaner as,it saves me so much time.I bought it from David Jones at a great price.But I would recommend V8 or V10 for bigger apartment or a house.

Best vacuum cleaner for pet hair.

published

This is the most efficient vacuum cleaner I have ever owned, and the first that actually does what it says. It truly picks up pet hair on carpet and does not clog up the head of the vacuum cleaner. Using a cordless vacuum is a dream I don't have to lug a machine around the house and stop to plug it in every time I run out of cord length. I can vacuum 2 rooms before it needs a rest and recharge but being so easy to use I can pick a different room to clean every day. So easy. I love it.

This is such an awesome vacuum cleaner!

My floors have carpet coverings and for years I had been using a Hoover. It did a pretty ok job but this Dyson is just amazing! Does a fantastic job of cleaning, easy to use, easy to empty out, not having to drag cords around or switch from power point to power point!!!

Dyson reliability and style

published

Love the Dyson stick vaccum. The swivel brush makes it easy to clean under beds, sofas etc which our previous stick vaccum could not do. Works on all surfaces including floorboards, tile and carpet. Worth the higher price tag as we know we will get years of use from a reliable brand.

Great product

published

I purchased this product last month, and find it is so convenient to use for both carpet and wooden floor. It could be only use around 20 minutes. However, consider it is much smaller and could be charged first, I think it is reasonable. For those homes that are not so big, this machine is strongly recommended.

We've always had this brand right from the day they made their first vacuum back in the day which compaired to this unit it sucked. The new unit 6 sucks so much better and love how it clips into the wall mount. Ours gets a little stuck but still works great

Hail the V6 animal stick

published

I was given this Dyson as a gift when I moved house. Never one to really fuss too much over my vacuums, I have to say that I found myself cleaning more regularly and thoroughly as I no longer had to find all the bits, unravel 5the vacuum, piece it together and then lug it around the house. With its handy charge case that hangs on the wall and super lightweight make, it makes cleaning a dream and a wizz Thanks Dyson

Great Machine, worried about longevity

published

Extremely portable, great suction. Although takes several recharges to vacuum a small house. More expensive models have longer battery life. My model blocks quite easily dealing with dog hair. Battries faulty after 3 months of use. Slightly frustrating wait for replacement batteries as on back order. So without a vacuum for 2weeks.

perfect product

published

Bought this hoover a few days ago on offer and I love it. Its so easy to use. I was surprised at the suction power, we have a large akita who sheds most of the time, so dog hair is my nemesis - the embedded pet hair was no problem at all and my carpets have never been so clean. Leight weight, the stairs used to be a chore and now they're a dream. The charge is good - I have a three bed house and cleaned the whole house on one charge, as the suction is so good.

V6 Animal Extra

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.
